In general Wikipedias are being divided by language, not by country. Sure, Swiss users will have different interests than German, French or Italian ones, but those are I think better served by adding Swiss content to the existing Wikipedias than by creating a new, multi-lingual Wikipedia.

Hello Andre
Yes it's ok to difided by language, but there is already a "Portal" for switzerland at http://wikimedia.org/ch-portal and my idea was to improve the efficiency of this "portal". My first mind was to update this site. And so i make the suggestion to start a new wikipedia. Are there other proposals to make this site more attractive???
Michael
As first, sorry my bad english... my preferred languages are German and French.
I'm interested to start
details on ch.wikipedia.org: Switzerland is especially: The national languages are German, French, Italian, and Romansh and this by only 7 millions habitants. There's already a Page for swiss users: http://wikimedia.org/ch-portal/ but i think that's a bad seller. I have further plans with respectable and multilingual content for Switzerland.
details on ch.wikinews.org: same motivation like ch.wikipedia.org and Switzerland has a strong economy with a lot's of interesting news. Switzerland is not a member of the European Union. And so, we have other interestes than germany. and so on.
Are there also Plans like this? Can i help? If there no plans i will to start first with wikipedia.ch and secondly wikinews.ch. Are someone interesstet to help?
