[edit] Welcome

Hello, Sumone10154! Welcome to Wikitravel.

To help get you started contributing, we've created a tips for new contributors page, full of helpful links about policies and guidelines and style, as well as some important information on copyleft and basic stuff like how to edit a page. If you need help, check out Wikitravel:Help, or post a message in the travellers' pub.

Thanks for all of the routebox cleanups and fixes! -- Ryan • (talk) • 13:09, 5 January 2011 (EST)

Welcome from me as well. Just a tip, that [[Hamilton (Ontario)|]] is a shortcut for [[Hamilton (Ontario)|Hamilton]]. --inas 21:19, 5 January 2011 (EST)

I'd like to add a thank you note as well, for all your hard work on the routeboxes and the disambiguation pages! PerryPlanet ^Talk 21:36, 5 January 2011 (EST)

[edit] Discussions

You've been busy! I see you've left a number of talk page comments that don't always get answered right away. Be aware that often people read them but may wait until someone more knowledgeable comes along to answer (for example Talk:Hawaii#Outline?). If you have a question that you really want answered and a day goes by without comment, feel free to put it back on the Special:RecentChanges list by making a whitespace or other minimal edit with the summary "*bump*" (example) and people will likely give it further attention. -- Ryan • (talk) • 15:14, 20 January 2011 (EST)

Thanks for letting me know! :) Sumone10154 00:19, 21 January 2011 (EST)

[edit] Gabrovo Climate

I was advised elsewhere to remove the climate section of the Gabrovo entry because climate is covered by the entry on Bulgaria. However, I have no strong feelings about this issue. RobertSullivan1973

I think it's fine to keep the climate section for a city; we do that for many other cities (such as Dublin or Milwaukee), and I don't know about Bulgaria, but different cities may have different climates. –sumone10154 12:08, 7 February 2011 (EST)

Добре. Няма проблем. (Alright. No problem.)RobertSullivan1973

[edit] Routebox expedition

I gotta say, I like the idea of an expedition. Although frankly, my personal life is pretty busy at the moment, so I can't really dedicate much time to it at the moment. But I still like the idea...It might be good to see if you can get a couple more members to commit to a Routebox expedition; then we could have the critical mass we need to properly set one up and maintain it.

[edit] I-87

Re: this edit, I should point out that I-787 doesn't go through Troy either. =) Anyway, the point of routeboxes is not to provide a geographically accurate portrait of exactly which towns a highway passes through, but rather to get people to other destinations along the route. Troy is in the I-87 corridor, even if it is several miles away. Maybe a compromise and say "Troy via I-787" instead of removing it entirely? LtPowers 08:21, 1 April 2011 (EDT)

[edit] Template changes

A quick request - when making template changes, can you make sure to use the "Summary" box or the template's talk page to explain the change you're trying to make? Some of the templates you've changed are used in a LOT of places, so anything that can be done to make it clear what the expected result of a given change should be would be hugely helpful. -- Ryan • (talk) • 19:12, 19 April 2011 (EDT)

Ok, I'll do that. –sumone10154 19:13, 19 April 2011 (EDT)
