Gerard,
I don't think we currently register wikipedia.cn or 维基百科.cnhttp://%e7%bb%b4%e5%9f%ba%e7%99%be%e7%a7%91.org/or 维基百科.org http://%e7%bb%b4%e5%9f%ba%e7%99%be%e7%a7%91.org/. When the new ICANN policies are in place, as I understand it, there will be four new domains possible: wikipedia.c?n?, wikipedia.o?r?g?, 维基百科.c?n?http://%e7%bb%b4%e5%9f%ba%e7%99%be%e7%a7%91.org/and 维基百科.o?r?g? http://%e7%bb%b4%e5%9f%ba%e7%99%be%e7%a7%91.org/... which of these are you suggesting using?

Hoi, According to an article on the BBC website, it is now possible to have a URL that is completely in the script used for a language. This means that a Russian URL would be completely in the Cyrillic script and it would not need to end with .org.
I would like the Wikimedia Foundation to get the necessary domains to support the scripts that we have language versions in. The BBC article explains that people do find the need to move from one script to the other as problematic and cumbersome. Obviously, we can have the necessary mapping from our current Latin based URLs to the ones in other scripts. This will be an important feature because we want people to easily move between our projects. Thanks, GerardM
