First, I'm sorry because of my English.

I think the Basque language needs a Wikinews in euskara. The basque language has his wikipedia, with 26,000 articles actually, and more tham 2,000 users. Basque is a litle language between big languages (French, Spanish...) but I have to sau that: Basque is the first language in Europe, I think a Basque Wikinews will be interesting.

[edit] Arguments in favour

  • Basque is a language that is different from all the other languages there are. The Wikipedia runs good. There are many people who speak basque. --Ooswesthoesbes 15:59, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Good idea KoMuNeRo MaG 17:56, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Good idea, and Basque projects are good--Bengoa (My user talk) 18:21, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Arguments against

  • I'm not saying it would be a bad idea I just don't believe there would be enough people to keep it running (Red4tribe 16:00, 23 April 2008 (UTC))

[edit] General discussion

none.

[edit] Localisation update

  • Currently 76.00% of the MediaWiki messages and 26.19% of the messages of the extensions used by the Wikimedia Foundation projects have been localised. Please help us help your language by localising at Betawiki. This is the recent localisation activity for your language. Thanks, GerardM 06:58, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
