Hello, Exepes. I agree with you. It is important to help the Bislama language, and to add articles to this encyclopedia. Your contributions, I think, consist of many new pages, each for a different small town in Spain. Perhaps you would be interested in adding some of the many large cities which do not have articles, or even the major countries which need articles, such as Brazil, China, Egypt, Iran, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Portugal, Russia, and many others. My Bislama is very bad, or I would be doing this myself. Tim Ross (talk) 14:19, 31 Mei 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your response, Exepes. There are only 107 articles, now, in the biWiki, so a considerable percentage is your work! (The only one I've added is United States.) My grasp of the language is so poor (I haven't used it for about 35 years!) that I'm very uncertain in my efforts. I suspect that there are few native Bislama speakers using this resource yet, but our goal, I think, should be to provide whatever might be most useful. It might be especially helpful if you would like to try to make stubs for countries and important cities. You could copy some of the basic graphics from enWiki (assuming they are in Commons, which most are) and use a sentence in the form of "XXX i wan koantri" or "XXX i wan bigtaon" ("XXX is a country/city"). This would, perhaps, encourage others to add details. Tim Ross (talk) 10:54, 1 Jun 2008 (UTC)[reply]
