Cruccone, I can confirm what you've said about Brazilian Portuguese,
although I don't know that I'd characterise it as "a lot".
Back in older times before there was much Breton content there, the
domain was "squatted" by people who would have liked to have a
separate WP for Brazilian Portuguese (instead of using pt-wp for all
varieties) but I think there were perhaps a maximum of about 50
articles in Portuguese.
A similar situation occurred with Swiss German material at ch-wp
(intended for the Chamorro language)

Hello everybody;
This is to say that I have written a piece on this topic at :
http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Main_Page#uk.wikimedia.org_is_Wikimedia_U…
I've noticed that
http://www.wikimedia.org.uk/ redirects to
http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page If I remember correctly the
first domain was the address of the "old" Wikimedia UK, and that the
second was created by the "new" chapter. I'd say the .org.uk address
is definitely much more recognizable as belonging to a UK
organisation, while the
uk.wikimedia.org is more confusing;
furthermore, being a foundation-owned domain (at least I guess), there
may be the issue of the separation of WMF and WM-UK.
As regards the confusion between language and country codes, I
remember that the Breton wikipedia (br-wp) used to receive a lot of
materials in Portuguese from people from Brazil (citation needed),
whose country code is .br. This is not really up to us, just wanted to
point it out.
