[edit] Arguments in favour

  • &Y  Support There is alredy a wikipedia, wikibooks, wikiquote and wiktionary in albanian, its time there was a wikinews as well. --Cradel 16:01, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
  • &Y  Support --  eagleal  20:44, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
  • &Y Support --Ko.S.ystem.OV@ 21:35, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
  • &Y  Support --ArttuS 12:48, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
  • &Y  Support. We have permissions from Beta news agency to use all their material from web site. Beta news agency has service in Albanian, too. So, it may be alive project if there are at least one or two Albanian speakers who are willing to take care about the project. (I may make engine for adding news automatically.) --Millosh 11:56, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
  • &Y  Support Mikhailov Kusserow (talk) 02:33, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Arguments against

  • &N  Oppose Albanian Wikipedia is to small to have a News Spin-off. --jeroen 02:03, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
  • &N  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)
  • &N  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)

[edit] Localisation update

  • 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. Thanks, GerardM 11:04, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
