Thanks for your edits on Southeast Asia, but ''please'' don't write I first-person on Hitchwiki ("I ended up hitching south towards Cambodia"). On a community-edited site like a wiki, it is not clear who "I" or "me" is, so it is better to abstract your experiences and write always in the third person. If you must specify that something is personal experience (which is rarely necessary), you can keep writing in the third person but link to your username. Also, just above the box you write article in, this is a link "you can use This template". Use it, it helps structure new articles.

Thanks for your edits on Southeast Asia, but please don't write I first-person on Hitchwiki ("I ended up hitching south towards Cambodia"). On a community-edited site like a wiki, it is not clear who "I" or "me" is, so it is better to abstract your experiences and write always in the third person. If you must specify that something is personal experience (which is rarely necessary), you can keep writing in the third person but link to your username. This is not a place for personal blogs, so you don't have to specify every ride and every local you met. Better just to focus on which bus to take out of cities and where to stand.

Also, just above the box you write article in, this is a link "you can use This template". Use it, it helps structure new articles. CRCulver (talk) 13:33, 10 January 2014 (CET)
