I'd like to request a new Wikipedia for the Friulian language.
I don't feel that one person who admits to being rarely online is enough to justify the creation of a new language Wikipedia.
This would be my third request for an Italian minority language Wikipedia... having requested only a few Wikis, I find it quite strange that three of them should be Italian minority languages (1. Sardinian sc:, 2. Sicilian scn:, 3. Friulian)
Sardinian and Sicilian have only 28 articles between them. The lack of success of these so far should be taken into account when deciding whether another minority language should be started without a more significant number of supporters willing to edit that Wikipedia.
I propose we adopt Wikitravel's policy of requiring at least five potential contributors before starting a new language. See http://www.wikitravel.org/en/article/Wikitravel:Language_version_policy
