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
-
http://ch.wikipedia.org and
-
http://ch.wikinews.org
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?
best regards
