Great work! Hope some of these communities stay active, and otherwise we will just have to send Mike around regularly to shake things up again. Jane (talk) 13:23, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

• Regarding the comment that "Wikipedia coverage of some towns and localities on the West Coast was so incomplete that tourists would be dissuaded from visiting", the irony is that Wikivoyage is the WMF site to help tourists, not Wikipedia. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 17:06, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

I was given some fascinating data from a tourism agency in NZ that ranked different sites by how much search traffic lands there from people seeking holiday destination information. Different language Wikipedias were usually ranked in the top three, maybe top 10. Wikivoyage was ranked about 200th. So we can conclude Wikivoyage is not being used by tourists, and Wikipedia is. —Giantflightlessbirds (talk) 07:15, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
