Timeline

  • no.wikipedia.com (from August 2002 no.wikipedia.org) — a Misplaced Pages in Norwegian (specified to be Norwegian Bokmål/Riksmål in 2005) was established on 26 November 2001.
  • nn.wikipedia.org — a Misplaced Pages in Norwegian Nynorsk, was established on 31 July 2004.

History

The first site, the original Norwegian Misplaced Pages (Norsk Misplaced Pages), launched on 26 November 2001, and originally did not specify which written standard could/should be used, although de facto almost all the articles were written in Bokmål/Riksmål. The Norwegian Misplaced Pages originally had the address no.wikipedia.com, but in August 2002 all Misplaced Pages editions moved from the wikipedia.com domain to the wikipedia.org domain, shortly after Jimbo Wales had announced that Misplaced Pages would never have commercial advertisements.

A Nynorsk-specific Misplaced Pages was launched on 31 July 2004, and grew quickly. Following a vote in 2005, the main Norwegian site became Bokmål and Riksmål only.

By February 2007, the Bokmål/Riksmål edition had over 100,000 articles and the Nynorsk site had over 20,000 articles. In February 2006, the Bokmål/Riksmål edition became the thirteenth Misplaced Pages to have more than 50,000 articles, and one year later it was the fourteenth to reach 100,000. After the Finnish Misplaced Pages surpassed it in April 2006 it was once again the 14th largest Misplaced Pages by article count. However, in September 2007, the Bokmål/Riksmål Misplaced Pages surpassed the Finnish, and has since then been the 13th largest Misplaced Pages. As of 1 June 2010, the Bokmål/Riksmål contains more than 260,000 articles, while the Nynorsk version contains over 57,000. Norwegian, Danish, and Swedish are mutually intelligible languages and can be understood by most speakers of each. The sites collaborate with the other Scandinavian Wikipedias through the Skanwiki section of the Wikimedia Foundation's Meta-Wiki site. One effect of this combined effort is the sharing of their weekly featured front-page articles among these four different Wikipedias.

While the ISO 639 two-letter code for Bokmål is nb, the Bokmål/Riksmål Norwegian Misplaced Pages continues to be hosted at no.wikipedia.org, while the narrower nb code redirects to that site. The Nynorsk code is nn, and the Nynorsk Misplaced Pages is hosted at nn.wikipedia.org.

On 9 April 2013, the Nynorsk Misplaced Pages passed 100,000 articles.

Wikimedia Norge is a Norwegian private membership association with the purpose to support Wikimedia's projects, in particular those in Norwegian and Sami languages. The association was formed at a meeting at the National Library in Oslo on 23 June 2007. However, it has no formal role in relation to the Norwegian Misplaced Pages projects.

The Norwegian Misplaced Pages was launched on 29 November 2001, and initially there were no precise rules governing the writing of articles in a particular dialect. The development of the section led to the decision to launch a separate section in Nynorsk, which happened on 31 July 2004.

On 7 August 2005, the 10,000th article was written (Edvard Langset).

In April 2007, Noregs Mållag, an organization dedicated to the promotion of Nynorsk, donated 50,000 Norwegian kroner to the administrator and bureaucrat of the section Ranveig Mossige Thattai for the development of the Nynorsk section.

On 11 August 2007 the number of articles exceeded 25,000 (the anniversary was Fallots tetrade). The number of registered participants by that time had reached almost 3,000.

On 13 February 2008 the number of articles exceeded 30,000, while the 150,000th article was created in the Bokmål section on January 30 of the same year. The number of registered contributors to the Nynorsk Misplaced Pages by that time had reached 3,377.

The contributors to the Nynorsk Misplaced Pages used Apertium to perform machine translation between Nynorsk and Bokmål, and also collaborated with Misplaced Pages sections in other continental Scandinavian languages as part of the Skanwiki meta-project.
