Hello! Welcome to Wikitravel. Thanks for plunging forward so far. If you're going to continue working on Wikitravel, you may find the tips for new contributors helpful.

You should also make sure you understand our copyleft and policies and guidelines. Scanning the Manual of style, especially the article templates, can give you a good idea of how we like articles formatted.

I notice that you're doing a lot of interwiki links. That's great! Keep up the good work! --Evan 10:20, 25 March 2006 (EST)

Babel

So, we don't really have a Userboxes system on Wikitravel, and I'd point out that the system on Wikipedia has been really controversial. If you're going to get this started, could you start a documentation page, like Wikitravel:Userboxes or Wikitravel:Babel? --Evan 11:15, 2 April 2006 (EDT)

Wow

Thanks again for your fantastic interwiki work. --Evan 13:45, 14 April 2006 (EDT)

Seems like we should thank you at least twice a day, but then your user talk page would be exceptional long. Is the interwiki work the only thing you do or have you done other work? Anyhow, Thanks. -- Andrew Haggard (Sapphire) 01:42, 15 July 2006 (EDT)

I'm writing some articles on ja.--Episteme 17:45, 16 July 2006 (EDT)

I award you this barnstar because of the amazing amount of work you do on every single version of Wikitravel. Thank you. -- Andrew Haggard (Sapphire) 01:33, 12 August 2006 (EDT)

Can you add a comment to the talk page for this template to explain what it is for? Thanks! -- Ryan 14:51, 23 August 2006 (EDT)

Braille keyboards and such

Yesterday, several of us were discussing the amazing amount of work you do. How exactly do you do the interwiki work? How do you translate every single article/policy page? Also, is there any chance you're blind and use a braille keyboard? or voice commands? -- Sapphire 15:29, 25 September 2006 (EDT)

I'm just using an ordinary laptop and doing all work by hand, owing Wikipedia and OpenDirectory's interlanguage links very much to find related articles in Wikitravel language versions. I'm considering using pywikipedia to automate interwiki but it'll be tough for me to modify it for Wikitravel because I'm new to Python. --Episteme 12:29, 26 September 2006 (EDT)
