I would appreciate greatly that when you create a new wikinews, you take
care of updating the wikinews page, which is currently stating that only
en and de exist.
Second, when the project was approved by the board, I think we agreed on
a couple of mandatory requests, in particular to insure that the
wikinews would not be managed by 2 editors with a particular bias.
I did not check for all the wikis you created, I only check for the
language I know.
I do not see where these steps are respected here. In particular, I do
not see the names of the five regular editors supporting the french
version. I have no memory of much discussion about that on the french
pump either. A couple of guys mentionned it would be nice, but that is all.
My personal opinion Erik. I did not approve wikinews because I felt it
would be biaised and it would divide the community strength. Also, the
majority of french editors did not support it.
This is why some mandatory steps were added to try to limit the risk of
us having a baised project. To ensure enough support would exist for
each individual project.
In setting up a new wikinews without following these rules we commonly
aggreed with, you are making a joke of the whole agreement. I gave my
agreement for wikinews because there was such an agreement between us.
I stand up by these requirements of 5 editors interested and involved.
So, I think that in 1 or 2 weeks from now, I will look at these newly
created wikiprojects, and if the requirement of creation is not
respected (ie, at least 5 real editors working on it), I will either
block the new project or ask that a big stamp mentions proeminently that
the project in-work is not related to wikinews as well as have another
logo set on it.

Are you sure that this is a good idea? IMO it's questionable if a wiki
should really be set up if a clear majority voted against the creation
of wikinews, especially with the concerns raised there.
