Why not starting several languages, sv.wikinews, fi.wikinews etc... but all of you focusing to set up a portal page where you will together summarize the news related to the scandinavian countries ?

I think it would be similarly suitable one day, that the swiss set up a portal page for swiss and put there news from fr, de, it etc....

No ?

I guess there are no language codes for scandinavian, as it's not a language, but we could use something like "skan.wikinews"?

REFERENDRUM If there is to be a referendrum on wethere to make a Scandinavian Wikinews, it is important to announce it on the different scandinavian (norwegian (bokm�l), norwegian (nynorsk), danish and swedish) wikipedias too, as norwegians and danes does not have their own wikinews'.

Then again; I can't see why we should vote on wether to have separate scandinavian wikinews-editions when it is obvious that the one we have (the swedish) is thriving?

VISIONS FOR SKANWIKINYTT I don't belive anyone has suggested making a Scandinavian Wikinews IN STEAD OF national wikinews-editions in Sweden, Denmark and Norway. Personally I see the Scandinavian Wikinews as a cooperation in the scandinavian wiki-community.

When SkanWikiNytt (or something like that) has been running for a while, it will hopefully have gained members from Denmark and Norway, thus making a ground for creating a danish and norwegian wikinews. The swedish wikinews seems to be thriving, and I would NOT want to stop that project, by using sv.wikinews for a scandinavian wikinews portal!

When we have wikinews-editions in all three countries, the Scandinavian Wikinews will have its function in being a portal for making "top stories" from all scandinavian wikis (norwegian, danish and swedish) available to the public. Making scandinavian news available to those who are used to only national news.

Idealistic regards! Kurt

Hi,

since this is a significant difference from the

way we are currently

doing things, I believe there needs to be a vote

on this first. Please

organize a vote on Meta on whether the

Scandinavian Wikinewses should be

separate, or united, and announce it widely,

especially on the

sv.wikinews.org Village Pump.

If there's a majority in support for a united

Scandinavian Wikinews, we

can use sv.wikinews.org for it.

All best,
