Project Map

Idea

Above is a map depicting the 190 or so countries in the world. The dark green indicates good wikinews coverage, and the red and orange indicates almost/or infact no wikinews coverage. We want this map to be all dark green by year end. Due to Wikinews' relative youth, many countries suffer severe under representation - indeed the majority of countries have one or less articles currently written about them. The aim of Country of the Week is to rectify this situation. Each week a particularly country will be chosen and people will be encouraged to go out of their way to write articles about that country for the week. Each week begins and ends at 00:00 UTC Sunday, this is meerly a formality, contributors can submit an article a day early or late for a given country if it suits them better.

Previous Countries of the week can be found in the Results log. All votes, and resulting articles will be moved there.

This weeks results: Papua New Guinea

Current Votes

Each week the country with the most votes will be made Country of the Week. Users can vote once a week, but not for the same country more than once (e.g. Hungary this week, but not again next week). The total number of votes are in brackets. If a draw occurs, the country with the oldest vote will win.
