West Virginian

:Translating infoboxes is great; we had one user ([[User:Chamdarae|Chamdarae]]) who hasn't been around for awhile, but he did tremendous work along that line. He made stubs for most of the countries of Europe, a ton of languages, lots of categories, etc. Your US state template is great, I think (yeah, aren't the French infoboxes pretty? I always like to compare fr and en and see just how different they can be!). Just one thing: You won't have to upload many flags or coats of arms in kw, because most of them are already in Commons. As a result, they can be embedded automatically; that'll save you some trouble.

:Oh, incidentally, NJA Williams gives two UCR translations for Virginia: Vyrjynia and Pow an Werhes (=Pow an Wyrghes in KK, that is "land of the virgin"). Take your pick. I like ''stat'' better to translate "state" &ndash; we use it anyway in "Statys Unys", and to me ''gwlas'' implies something bigger and perhaps independent. Of course, ''pow'' can also be used to mean "province", but it's really like ''pays''/country in the old-fashioned sense of the term (e.g. "your part of Yorkshire is a beautiful country" or ''pays bigouden'', a tiny sliver of Finistere).
