(cc'ing Carl Trachte since he's done much of the management of the non-English pages in the wiki, and catinsunshine, the translator.) Took me awhile to figure things out, but here's what catinsunshine did: * Copied the BeginnersGuide page to Beginner's Guide to Python * Translated that So, it turns out he was technically okay, but there was no indication in the page name that it was a Chinese translation of the original BeginnersGuide page. I just renamed it to BeginnersGuideChinese and added appropriate links. We should probably try and wrangle up some people who will keep the various Chinese language resources in shape. Any ideas?

Aug. 21, 2011

User catinsunshine has twice now replaced the Beginner's Guide to Python wiki page: http://wiki.python.org/moin/Beginner%27s%20Guide%20to%20Python with a Chinese translation. The first time I simply reverted it. This time I left it as-is and sent him an email telling him how to do things properly (create a second page containing his translation and reference it from the above page and the ChineseLanguage page). If I don't see that the page has been properly done in the next couple days, I'll revert things again and block his user. -- Skip Montanaro - skip(a)pobox.com - http://www.smontanaro.net/
