I have three questions:

Welsh (Cymraeg) doesn't have one.

Hello Wikimedia HK!

very hard and every single word of encouragement is valuable for us. On

I appreciate people answering questions on weekends.
After reading this thread, it sounds like this is a well-intentioned
research project but there are opportunities for improvement. If someone

I infer that you would have preferred a single US chapter from the
start, wouldn't you?
