Missing comma before "a travelogue", and is "transnavigate" really an English verb? Otherwise fine. Regards, Tbayer (WMF) (talk) 22:00, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
--it is on English Wiktionary: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/transnavigate But you probably shouldn't trust anything "crowdsourced" anyway ;) Matthew (WMF) (talk) 22:08, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I had looked up that entry before commenting here, but it lists it as a Latin word, not as an English word. Regards, Tbayer (WMF) (talk) 22:18, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
