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

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)
