  • The word Wikinews in Korean

Please, provide them ASAP, so I can fill the bug. --Millosh 15:34, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wikinews is “위키뉴스” in Korean. Logo is now on discussion at ko:위키백과:사랑방/2010년 제30주#한국어 위키뉴스가 승인되었습니다. - IRTC1015 (talk) 14:52, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Vote for the project logo is being held at incubator:Wn/ko/위키뉴스:사랑방#한국어 위키뉴스 로고 선호도 조사 --Gapo 16:11, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The word for project namespace is the same as project name in Korean(위키뉴스). --Albamhandae 15:01, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
...and the Project talk namespace is 위키뉴스토론, right? Cbrown1023 talk 16:24, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
That would be OK. - IRTC1015 (talk) 16:44, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

OK. Please, poke me (email is the best idea, millosh@gmail.com) when you decide which logo passed as the official one. --Millosh 16:56, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
