With a Little Help From Our Friends

From time to time I feel the need to thank the people who help make this blog possible.

Over the last year or so Gates of Vienna has gradually become a group effort. After Fjordman came on board our European readership picked up, and people started writing to us from Europe — particularly Scandinavia — with tips, suggestions, and translations of articles from various European media.

This process has snowballed, so that we now have a number of important collaborators. I’ve gathered up as many names as I could find so that I could list them here and acknowledge them.

Even though Dymphna and I are the only listed contributors, several other people submit articles from time to time for us to post.

We also have a lot of translators; through them we receive translations from Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish, German, and French sources. Their services are invaluable, since some of these pieces would not be published in English if it weren’t for their efforts.

Then there are the researchers, particularly members of the 910 Group. The amount of time they save us with their exertions makes it possible to post on topics that would otherwise go unexamined.

Last, but not least, are the tipsters, most of whom don’t have their own blogs. They are the behind-the-scenes people, the liveried servants carrying urgent messages up and down the backstairs of the blogosphere.

So here’s a roster of some of the people who make Gates of Vienna possible:

Contributors		Translators		Researchers		Tipsters
Apollon Zamp		Borussia		Wally Ballou		Wally Ballou
Bryan Lowe		Eva F-R		Ben		Exile
Fjordman		Exile		Christine		Anders Gravers
Kepiblanc		Fjordman		Kepiblanc		Harry Palmer
LN		Kepiblanc		LN		Kepiblanc
Paula		LN		The Future Baron		Larwyn
Paul Weston		Mr. C				LL
		Phanarath				LN
		Rune				Pierre Ménard
		Sugiero				Tom Pechinski
		XY				Steen
		Zonka				The Future Baron
		JDM				Uncle Pavian

Some people who help us out specifically request that we not name them, even using a pseudonym. But you all know who you are.

Others may have inadvertently been left out. If you belong on one of these lists and your name isn’t there, drop me a line and I’ll insert it in its proper place.

Without our ever intending it, Gates of Vienna has become something of a clearinghouse for information about the counterjihad in Europe. Sometimes, for example, a blog in Finland will learn about a particular news story in Norway by reading Gates of Vienna, instead by reading the Finnish media. It’s a peculiar and roundabout way of getting the information out, but we feel privileged to serve that function.

And, except for the modest amount we take in through our tip jar, all of this happens without anybody getting paid for it. All our contributors, translators, researchers, and tipsters are volunteers. We deeply appreciate their dedication.

Please continue to send tips, suggestions, and other material. I can’t promise that we’ll use all of it, or that we’ll even respond to all the messages — that simply isn’t possible anymore — but Dymphna or I will take a look at every email, and we appreciate what you all send.

Thanks for helping us keep watch at the Gates.


I knew I would forget someone… So far, I have added Uncle Pavian (tipster) and JDM (translator). Sorry, guys!
