Arguments in favour

Arguments against

edit
  • Oppose Oppose Albanian Wikipedia is to small to have a News Spin-off. --jeroen 02:03, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Oppose This proposal started in June, test wiki isn't active since then. I'm afraid that simple votes without arguments in the section above aren't adding credibility to this proposal. Not enough activity - no project, this is especially true for Wikinews, which requires an aapropriate level of activity to remain useful. MaxSem(Han shot first!) 09:46, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Oppose I concur completely with MaxSem and urge the proponents to expound their support at least a bit (if not circumstantially), because just by overwhelming voting I cannot grasp why it should be promoted. And by the cogitations in this section I was convinced in their stringency. Bogorm 08:19, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Localisation update

edit
  • Currently 73.95% of the MediaWiki messages and 8.62% of the messages of the extensions used by the Wikimedia Foundation projects have been localised. Localisation of these messages is a requirement before your request is finally assessed. This is the recent localisation activity for your language.
