I don't agree with this move. I think that Wikipedia.se should be a portal with links to the Swedish, Finnish, and Sami Wikipedias because they are all languages of Sweden.

Hi, I've started a discussion at svwiki about registering the address www.wikipedia.se (.se is the primary domain of Sweden), but it's currently owned by someone, and it will probably cost money to buy it. I have not contacted the person who owns it yet, but I'm checking if there's any way this could be financed by Wikimedia? I also see that for example www.wikipedia.de, www.wikipedia.no and www.wikipedia.pl already exists.
I think registering the .se address would increase traffic to the Swedish Wikipedia, since many today probably believe there is only an English version of it, and I don't know, but I suspect that traffic to svwiki is relatively low, at least we have pretty few editors.
Is there any possibility this could be done?
Thank you!
