Please, don't think about one wikipedia for all swiss-german dialects. That would be the same thing like the Alemannic wikipedia: An uncommon mixture of native dialects. Surely all Baseldytsch speakers understand the Züritüütsch (zurich-german) speakers and vice versa. And please tell me: Why is there already a Plattdüütsch wikipedia? And a Lëtzebuergesch wikipedia? They also seem to be dialects (although Lëtzebuergesch is official in Luxemburg). So, why shouldn't there be other dialect wikipedias? In Swabian, in Bernese German, in Saxony-German? And yes, Baseldytsch has ist own orthography and dictionary (which many dialects don't). I think that's also an argument for this wikipedia. The interface are already translated into Baseldytsch. So lets just put it online under bsd.wikipedia.org and we shall see how it'll be running and what the reactions are. Then we can take it offline, or we just let it be in its developpment to a useful encyclopedia. _______________________________________________ Wikipedia-l mailing list Wikipedia-l(a)Wikimedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikipedia-l
