Gerard,
I don't think we currently register wikipedia.cn or
维基百科.cn<http://%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
