That's not so surprising in and of itself. I think what Milos meant is that there are 3 interwiki links, yet none to English. 3 versions without an English version is sort of rare, but the fact that those languages are Japanese, Swedish, and Serbian makes it all the more peculiar.

For a month or two, I was thinking to introduce barnstars for original works on sr:. I introduced two categories: (1) for original work (in the sense of Wikipedia; the rule is that there is no encyclopedic article on other Wikipedias) and (2) for something which I called "original interwiki work" (this case; article should exist on at least one other Wikipedia, but not on en:). And I got some results :) Two new articles: one in relation sr-hr, which is not so interesting (I would like not to start with the new-old explanations, so don't ask why ;) ) and one in relation sr-bg, which is more interesting because Bulgarians have to translate text from Serbian into Bulgarian (and vice versa) and it is not so easy for people who don't have philological education. So, it seems that it is not so rare if we are talking about languages which have some relation. But, relation like ja-sv-sr is not so often :) I think we should note such events at some page (somewhere on Meta? on en:? ;) ). The first and less important reason is that such article should be added into "requested articles" on en: It is important to show that Wikipedia is the place where diversities between different people are not forced to be unified into "one language world". At least. This two articles are: 1) sr-hr, about Stojan Novakovic, Serbian politician, historican and philologist: http://hr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stojan_Novakovi%C4%87 http://sr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A1%D1%82%D0%BE%D1%98%D0%B0%D0%BD_%D0%9D%D0… 2) sr-bg, about Slobodan Jovanovic, Serbian politician, historian and novelist (and president of Serbian Academy): http://bg.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A1%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%B1%D0%BE%D0%B4%D0%B0%D0%… http://sr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A1%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%B1%D0%BE%D0%B4%D0%B0%D0%… On 6/8/05, Walter van Kalken <walter(a)vankalken.net> wrote:

Specially for Mark who seems so surprised about articles linking amongst other languages but without an equivalent on english pedia! http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernardus_Johannes_Alfrink There are probably 100's if not 1000's of these! On nl alone we have a couple of 1000 articles without english equivalent. Waerth

Waerth, you must have confused me with somebody else. I am not surprised, on the contrary this is very expected...

That would be me... I added "Bog" to bs: as well, although I'm not sure how it would integrate with the article [[Alah]] Mark On 08/06/05, Milos Rancic <millosh(a)gmail.com> wrote: -- SI HOC LEGERE SCIS NIMIVM ERVDITIONIS HABES QVANTVM MATERIAE MATERIETVR MARMOTA MONAX SI MARMOTA MONAX MATERIAM POSSIT MATERIARI ESTNE VOLVMEN IN TOGA AN SOLVM TIBI LIBET ME VIDERE
