This is taking NPOV to the extreme... 99% of all people living in Sweden except to get to a site in Swedish when they go to a website with the ending .se, probably most Swedish Finns would go to www.wikipedia.se (and surely not sv.wikipedia.org) if they wanted to find Wikipedia in Swedish, not www.wikipedia.fi. But as I have said numerous times, this is another discussion.
The question is: "Is it possible to get Wikimedia to pay for the domain name www.wikipedia.se?"

All top domains I search for are redirects to their country's primary language, I don't see why www.wikipedia.se shouldn't. In fact, since wikipedia.fi is, that would be pure discrimination. Especially since Swedish is far more widespread in Finland than Finnish is in Sweden.
Maybe they should therefore be updated to provide proper portal facilities...unless there's a chapter in that country in which case surely they ought to be doing something with "their site"? -- Phil [[en:User:Phil Boswell]]
