Thanks for your contributions to Sado Island! -- (WT-en) Jpatokal 11:46, 15 May 2006 (EDT)

Le Mans map
Nice map! It looks like you drew it using vector graphics software—would you be so kind as to upload the SVG file. That way anyone can easily update the map as restaurants open/close, etc. Thanks! --(WT-en) Peterfitzgerald Talk 07:46, 9 June 2007 (EDT)

Redistricting of Tokyo
I've put a proposal for redistricting Tokyo on Talk:Tokyo, could you give your opinion? (WT-en) Jpatokal 00:24, 13 June 2007 (EDT)

maps
Hey there! Nice map of Sado Island! Just a note, we've been discussing our map template and license issues recently, and just wanted to say that if the Wikivoyage logo is included on the map (which is licensed as cc-by-sa 1.0) then the entire image must then be licensed as that, it can't go into Public Domain. I've updated the license for that particular map, if you done any others, be sure to select that license for them also. Thanks! – (WT-en) cacahuate  talk 06:16, 17 June 2007 (EDT)

New articles
It is great that you are creating new articles. However, I think that the Ewaninga Rock Carvings and Chambers pillar contravene Wikivoyage's policy on What does not get an article. So, I'm afraid that I am going to nominate them for deletion, and then a consensus of opinion will decide whether to keep the articles or not. You can also contribute to the debate. Anyway, I think it is better to nominate the articles for deletion now, before you and others put much effort into developing them. Anyway, I'm just letting you know the situation. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me or other regular contributors. Thanks. (WT-en) WindHorse 11:19, 17 June 2007 (EDT)
 * Hi, well according to Wikivoyage policy (Project:What is an article?), individual attractions, such as lakes or statues or whatever do not get independent articles. However, if you started an article under the name of the reserve and added this as an attraction, that would be fine. The Chamber Pillar article could then be redirected to this article. I hope that is ok. (WT-en) WindHorse 11:29, 17 June 2007 (EDT) Ps. Are the rock carvings also located in the same reserve?
 * OK, I started a new article under the name of the reserve and moved the pillar information over. This article has a national park template, so there is more opportunity to write information. Please take a look and make any amendments you feel are necessary: Chambers Pillar Historical Reserve. I'll revert my 'vote for deletion' for the rock carvings as I think we can merge it with some other article for a reserve or perhaps district. You can leave your comments on the Talk page of that article. Thanks. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me or one of the other regular contributors, and apologies for abruptly interrupting your work. (WT-en) WindHorse 11:48, 17 June 2007 (EDT)

uploading maps/images
Hey again! When you upload your things can you do it to Wikivoyage shared, that allows all of our language versions to make use of your maps/images. It's great to have another map maker on board, and great that you're uploading the svg's as well... then other users can just add a layer for a different language and label it for the Hindi version, Spanish version, etc. Thanks again! – (WT-en) cacahuate  talk 13:47, 17 June 2007 (EDT)

For the young and fashionable teenager, spending time in Harajuku (原宿) on the weekends is practically a necessity. Even older folks will want to visit the area, though, to see Meiji Jingu shrine and Yoyogi Park.

Understand

The broad, tree-lined avenue leading downhill from the southern end of the JR station is Omote-sandō (表参道), which leads to the upscale Aoyama district. The street is full of cafes and clothing stores. For teenagers, though, the place to be is Takeshita-dori, which is a bustling narrow street several blocks to the north.

Nearby Yoyogi Park (代々木公園 Yoyogi-kōen) was the site of the first successful powered aircraft flight in Japan, on December 19, 1910, by Captain Yoshitoshi Tokugawa, following which it became an army parade ground. During the postwar occupation, it was the site of the Washington Heights residence for U.S. officers. It later was selected as the site for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, and the distinctive Olympic buildings designed by Kenzo Tange are still nearby. In 1967, it was made into a city park. Today, the park is a popular hangout, especially on Sundays, when it is used as a gathering place for people to play music, practice martial arts, etc. The park has a bike path, and bicycle rentals are available. As a consequence of Japan's long recession, there are several large, but surprisingly quiet and orderly, homeless camps around the park's periphery.

By train
JR Harajuku Station on the Yamanote Line is the obvious way to get to Harajuku. The station is very conveniently located next to both the entrance to Meiji Jingu and the beginning of Omote-Sando.

By subway
Despite the name, the Chiyoda and Fukutoshin subway line Meiji-jingu-mae station is in Harajuku. The station is a little further down Omote-sando, but the subway is better than JR for getting here from central Tokyo. Naturally enough, Omotesando interchange is also on Omote-sando, and you can reach this via the Metro Ginza and Hanzomon lines as well.

On foot
Harajuku is only 15 minutes away from Shibuya by foot, just follow the train tracks along Koen-dori from Hachiko. If you have more time, see the suggested walking tour below.

Youth culture

If it's Harajuku's youth culture you want to see, don't even bother unless it's a Sunday. Each group stakes out its territory around Yoyogi Park (代々木公園 Yoyogi-kōen).

 * The bridge across the train tracks is full of teenagers dressed up as Gothic Lolita and other extreme Japanese youth fashions. Besides just hanging out with friends, many come here to be snapped by one of the many magazine photographers who mingle.
 * Over by the entrance to the park, people with greasy hair listen to rockabilly music and dance in their vintage jeans. This subculture has been around for twenty years now.
 * The sidewalks along the south side are usually occupied by junk vendors and loud rock bands. Both of these groups periodically get swept away by police crack-downs, though.
 * The tree-lined area leading from the south end of the park to Shibuya is filled with all sorts of street performers, mostly folk-pop singers, but also including hip-hop dancing and street theater.

Shrines
Meiji Jingū (明治神宮), built in commemoration of Emperor Meiji in 1920, is Tokyo's grandest shrine. Like all of Japan's major shrines, it's large in scale but simple in structure, entered via a winding path and through a giant torii gate. On summer weekends you have a very good chance of catching a Japanese wedding in progress here; the shrine is also packed on New Year's Eve when people come here to celebrate the new year. Free entrance.

In springtime, Yoyogi Park is full of cherry blossoms and people partying under the trees.

Walking tour: Harajuku to Shibuya
An interesting and recommended walk will let you experience Harajuku and Shibuya, and all of the trendy places in between.

Starting from the Takeshita exit (竹下口) of JR Harajuku station, walk straight away from the station down Takeshita-dori (竹下通り), where you will almost certainly run into the mingling pedestrian crowds. When you reach the first major crossroad, Meiji-dori (明治通り), turn right. When you reach Omote-sandō, turn left. Here you will enjoy the tree-lined streets and pass by stores with some of the latest in fashion, and perhaps, as this author experienced, pass by a large open-air banquet area where a loudspeaker declares someone man and wife, and lets the whole world know about it.

When you reach Aoyama-Dori (青山通り), turn right, and you will pass United Nations University on your right, and Aoyama Gakuin University on your left, before continuing down and finishing up at Shibuya's world-famous pedestrian crossing.

Allow yourself approximately two hours for this walk.

Buy

Takeshita-dōri (竹下通り), north of Omote-Sando starting from the Takeshita exit of JR Harajuku, is Tokyo's preteen haven guaranteed to fill any adult's Hello Kitty quota in milliseconds. Lately it's been nudging towards an older age bracket though, and now also caters to angsty teens looking for frilly Victorian Goth clothing or black lipstick.

Omote-sandō (表参道) caters to those with more adult or at least more expensive tastes, especially as you head towards the eastern Aoyama end.

 * A small collection of specialist shops that sell authentic (and fiercely expensive) antiques. For serious antique lovers only.

 * Condomania, . In a tiny triangular building at the intersection of Omote-sando and Meiji-dori, this specializes in exactly what you'd think.

 * Omotesando Hills, 4-12-10 Jingumae, . Designed by Takao Ando and built by Mori Building of Roppongi Hills fame, this is a super-chic shopping mall that caters to those "independent, style-conscious urbanites" (to quote the site) who couldn't possibly wear anything except the latest fashions or eat chocolates not prepared by a famous Parisian patissier. For the rest of us, it's still an interesting browse, and the restaurants on the top floor may be worth a splurge for a light lunch.

 * Oriental Bazaar, 5-9-13 Jingu-mae. A kitchy Tokyo institution for tourists and expats alike, with four floors of shopping stocking everything from kamikaze T-shirts to foreigner-sized kimonos.  Still, this is definitely the easiest way to get your souvenir shopping done.  The Bazaar is housed in an instantly recognizable building with a faux-Chinese temple roof.

 * Laforet Harajuku, . This is a big shopping mall. You can buy many kinds of cloths here. You certainly can find cloths which you want to get.

Eat
Omote-sando has occasionally been dubbed the Champs-Elysées of Tokyo, which is true at least for the general price level of the trendy cafes and eateries along the road.

The must-eat item of Takeshita-dori is the Harajuku crêpe. It's a treat of a fresh-made crêpe rolled into a cone and stuffed mostly with whipped cream and other goodies such as strawberries, chocolate, even whole slices of cheesecake. Just stroll down the street and you will see four or five different shops. Most flavors cost less than ¥500.

Budget

 * Shakey's Pizza 6-1-10 Jingumae. Shakey's Pizza has an all-you-can-eat lunch buffet for ¥750 daily except Sunday.  If you've never had seaweed, pickled ginger or fruit salad in your pizza, this is the place to try it.

 * Tenya (てんや), the fast-food tempura chain, has an outlet on Meiji-dori just to the north of the Meiji-dori/Omote-sando intersection. ¥500 for a bowl.

 * Kebab Box J 1-8-8 Jingumae (on Meiji-dori between Takeshita-dori and Omote-sando), 03-3470-0706. 10:30 AM to 9:00 PM.  Whereas most doner kebabs in Tokyo are served out of a van, Kebab Box J's store is firmly attached to theground.  Friendly staff wears cowboy hats.  Chicken or beef kebabs, ¥500.

 * Kyushu Jangara (九州じゃんがら) 1-13-21 Jingumae (top of Omote-Sando street, right by the intersection) 03-3404-5572. One of the best-known tonkotsu ramen shops in Tokyo, where you can choose between five degrees of noodle thickness, three levels of soup texture, and three levels of soup fattiness. All for a simple bowl of noodles. Branches in Ginza, Akihabara, and other locations.

 * Sakuratei (go down Takeshita street and make a left after the hair salon 2010 sign. It is behind the red Design Festa Art Gallery. A great Okonomiyaki restaurant where many local artists work. An all you can eat course is around 1300yen for 2 hours.

 * Elephant cafe, 4-30-4 Jingumae, TEL 03-3478-2233. This cafe is good place. You can taste Thai food. Cafe's atmosphere is also like Asian atmosphere.

Splurge

 * Restaurant Kinoshita 3-37-1 Yoyogi Shibuya-ku (northwest side of Yoyogi Park; Odakyu Sangubashi station or JR Yoyogi station) 03-3376-5336. 12:00 to 2:00 PM, 6:00 to 9:00 PM, closed Mon and third Tues.  Kinoshita makes eating French food in Japan justifiable.  Some say that with its underpriced menu, dinner courses for ¥3800-¥7000, and weekday lunches for ¥1800, this restaurant is the best kept secret in Tokyo.  But in fact it is popular, and reservations are mandatory.  Menu in French and Japanese.

 * Fonda de la Madrugada, 2-33-12 Jingumae Shibuya-ku, 03-5410-6288, . Mon-Thu Sun 5:30 PM to 2:00 AM, Fri Sat 5:30 PM to 5:00 AM. Located in a cavernous basement, Fonda de la Madrugada is regarded as one of the best Mexican food restaurants in Tokyo.  Menu in English, Spanish and Japanese.  Expect to pay around ¥5000 per person for meal, drinks and the 10% service charge.

Drink

 * Binimaru, 2-31-7 Jingumae Shibuya-ku (10 min. walk from JR Harajuku station's Takeshita exit), 03-5411-1209, (in Japanese). 7:00 PM to 2:00 AM, closed Sun.  Nice selection of Belgian bottled beers, all are available in 750 mL (25 floz) bottles, good for sharing with a friend.  ¥1000-1200 for single serving bottle, around ¥2000 for 750 mL (25 floz) bottle.

Get out

 * Shibuya is within walking distance if you're still in the mood for more teenybopping.

Pictures
Wikivoyage generally uses less pictures than Wikipedia, see Project:Image policy. A few high-quality pics are preferred to a huge slew of low-quality ones. (WT-en) Jpatokal 07:21, 11 October 2006 (EDT)

 * First, please upload to wts:Wikivoyage Shared, it's our equivalent of Commons. (Edit: I see you already did, so nevermind!)  Second, we don't usually do more than one picture of anything, especially something as boring as shopping malls.  Third, I personally hate overexposed images (like  and  -- see how the sky is so white it bleeds into the buildings?) and would much prefer nothing at all... (WT-en) Jpatokal 09:43, 11 October 2006 (EDT)

 * That said, the Japanese Wikivoyage uses a lot more pictures than the English one does, so please do feel free to upload (almost) anything to Shared. Also, if you really want to help out, the Chinese Wikivoyage Expedition (the project to launch Wikivoyage in Chinese) could use a helping hand -- we really need somebody like you who can write both Chinese and English well. (WT-en) Jpatokal 09:54, 11 October 2006 (EDT)

 * Re: your msg on IRC, unfortunately overexposure can't be corrected with Photoshop — the overexposed parts are maxed out (pure white) and thus have no data left. There's only one solution: don't shoot against the light when taking pictures... (WT-en) Jpatokal 11:11, 11 October 2006 (EDT)

 * Delete. As mentioned on the Project:Votes for deletion, this appears to be an experiment to see if links here raise a site's Google rank. Entire content is one link which is neither particularly interesting nor at all related to travel. The "user" has made only one "contribution"; this page. (WT-en) Pashley 07:35, 25 September 2006 (EDT)
 * I'm a bit uncomfortable with the idea of deleting user pages unless they contain hate speech or blatant spam. Quoting from Project:User page help: "It's possible for other users to edit, change, delete, move, overwrite, add to, or otherwise mess around with User pages or subpages. It's generally considered bad form to do so, though, unless invited by the user.".  My feeling is that it's probably not a good idea to start policing user pages unless they are obvious violations.  That's just me though - others may have different opinions. -- (WT-en) Ryan 21:23, 25 September 2006 (EDT)
 * I too feel this way. Although, I think an exception for vandalism should be made too (I.e. User:(WT-en) OIdPine with a capital "eye" instead of lowecase "elle"). -- (WT-en) Sapphire 21:29, 25 September 2006 (EDT)
 * See second paragraph in Project:Deletion_policy. Based on the difference between first and second edits of the page in question, it looks to me as if someone (original creator? can't tell from ISP address) already requested a delete.  If someone can tell easily whether the ISP is that of the original creator, and it turns out to be, this can be deleted without compunctions.  If not, keep it, for the reasons Ryan gives. -- (WT-en) Bill-on-the-Hill 17:09, 6 October 2006 (EDT)
 * I don't see a consensus either way here, so any objection to just keeping this page? If the user in question really does want it deleted they can also request it be deleted in the future. -- (WT-en) Ryan 19:48, 14 October 2006 (EDT)
 * Looks OK to me. I'll do the e-paperwork. -- (WT-en) Bill-on-the-Hill 21:42, 14 October 2006 (EDT)

Thank you for contributing Galveston. You may want to have a look at our article naming conventions and templates before you go too much further, as I have to move your page to link it to any other articles. We have a different naming convention to Wikipedia articles.

Also, I do not think Houston is quite ready for the front page as it is still a stub. Please read the Main Page guidelines before adding an article to the main page. -- (WT-en) Huttite 06:24, 1 Jan 2005 (EST)

Welcome!
Hey, I would just like to add to Huttite's welcome message by saying please don't be discouraged if you don't know about the policies. There's always somebody around who will be happy to edit things into guideline-matching shape, so don't worry all that much about it.

As for Houston on the Main Page, I agree that it's not quite ready, but it's close. I think what the article needs is some more attention to the Do section, and some photos. Really for such an important city as Houston there should probably some neigborhoods listed and quite a bit more about getting around. Maybe a map would be good too, but even New York (city) doesn't have one (yet, I might do it after Paris).

Please read Project:Article naming conventions. There is no need to name the article Galveston, Texas, that is not the convention here. Simply use Galveston, if there are two different places called Galveston, we can use Galveston (Texas) to avoid confusion, but that is not necessary until a second Galveston article is written about the other Galveston. -- (WT-en) Huttite 04:21, 2 Jan 2005 (EST)

 * OH! I see your problem - the page is broken, in fact they are both broken! - (WT-en) Huttite 04:42, 2 Jan 2005 (EST)
 * Yeah that is my problem, when I have been tring to save some pages, they are then changing to redirects, can you try to revert back to one? For some reason when I try to save it gives me a 500 error on some pages (WT-en) Texas Web Scout 03:55, 2 Jan 2005 (CST)
 * No, I cannot do it, even as an anonymous user. I have posted a bug report and e-mailed Evan.  Hopefully he can sort it out next time he is on-line. -- (WT-en) Huttite 05:04, 2 Jan 2005 (EST)

Regions and headings
Hi,

I see you're filling out a lot of Texas -- great! Can you do a few things when you create a new page?

 * 1) As the very first thing in the article, put: CityName is a city in Region Name of State Name.
 * 2) Are you able to decide which cities go in which regions of Texas? If so, can you link to them from the appropriate region article? If not, can you link to them from the Cities section of Texas? (Someone will eventually move the minor cities to the appropriate region.) Some of your new pages are showing up on orphaned pages because nothing links to them.

Thanks! (WT-en) Hypatia 18:34, 2 Jan 2005 (EST)

-- (WT-en) Huttite 22:40, 2 Jan 2005 (EST)
 * I have had a stab at reformating and linking some of the cities that you have added recently. Have a look at the articles now to see how they are presented. Also have a read of the article templates to see how articles should be set out and some quick ways to do this.
 * To avoid creating orphan pages you should:
 * 1) Add the names of the new articles to another page and put square brackets around it, like Proposed new article title
 * 2) Save the page (do not just preview it, though you can do that first)
 * 3) Click on the (red) link you just created
 * 4) Add the new article into the Edit box that displays.

Cruise ships
Please have a look at What is an article

I am recommending both Cruise Lines and Carnival Cruises for deletion. Please discuss it there if you wish.

Travel operators should be listed on a destination page or pages. Also ships should only be listed when there are specific details for them. They are not destinations, merely modes of transport. If we did not limit ourselves we would have a page for every car, bus, taxi, train, and aeroplane as well. I agree that some ships do deserve their own articles, but probably not on Wikivoyage'.

If you want to write something about cruising, or sailing, or other means of Travel by water, can I suggest you look at some of the Travel topics articles first.

If you want to create a completely new article that doesn't fit into our article guidelines please do it from (WT-en) your user page or consider Wikipedia.

Also, please only add fully developed article links to the main page. -- (WT-en) Huttite 18:06, 3 Jan 2005 (EST)

 * I do not think that creating Carnival Elation is necessary. But write it and then we can comment on it. In other words Prove it to me. -- (WT-en) Huttite 17:39, 5 Jan 2005 (EST)

 * Respectfully disagree. This type of post is great.  First, Cruise itineraries are extremely popular and a type of travel onto themselves.  They have their own "ins and outs".  Second, the Cruise lines and ships vary wildly-- and this type of content helps people make better decisions about which ship to book or itinerary to take.  A single ship will carry up to 200,000 visitors per year-- more people than visit many places profiled on this site.  A single Cruise line will carry millions of people-- more people than visit all 90% of the places on this site.  An objective point-of-view approach to Cruise itineraries and Cruise lines would seems terrific.

Las Vegas
Just a note to say thanks for all of your work on the Las Vegas article recently. It was quite a mess two months ago, and while it still needs a lot of addresses and descriptions it is vastly better. I originally listed it as a collaboration of the week candidate, but you've single-handedly fixed most of the major issues. Thanks!

Des Moines (I assume)
Did you erase listings for the High Life Lounge and El Bait Shop? If so, why?
 * If so, it was an accident-- Please copy and paste them from an earlier edit. (WT-en) Texugo 02:05, 1 September 2006 (EDT)
 * Actually, if it IS in fact Des Moines you are talking about, those two listing were not present in your last edit of the page, so maybe you did it yourself by accident? (WT-en) Texugo 02:10, 1 September 2006 (EDT)

Why no italics for a newspaper? Also, any tips (aka instructions) for getting photos from Websites for the site? (WT-en) Unizeppelin 00:10, 4 September 2006 (EDT)
 * The uses for italics sanctioned by the Manual of Style are for 1)the part of telephone numbers that is unnecessary when dialed locally, 2) foreign words, and 3) to give emphasis to a word for someone who is reading the text closely rather than skimming. Newspaper listings on dozens of other pages are already out there with no italics, so there is no reason to start here... As for photos, I don't really know-- the ones I've put up so far have all been my own. (WT-en) Texugo 00:55, 4 September 2006 (EDT)

I don't want to see a Yellow Book listings either but I think anyone who's visiting Iowa from another country would enjoy seeing an ethnic storie available to them if they want to do some cooking. I live overseas and would love it if I saw a listing where I could pick up some American-style groceries. Also, why did you delete Dahls, Hy-Vee, Fareway, Wal-Mart and Target? Two of them (Dahls and Fareway) are unique to Iowa (one in fact just to Des Moines). These are where even most of the locals shop...these places also offer a variety of services (eg, film processing, Ticketmaster) that would be great for an out-of-towner to know about. I would seriously think about re-inserting these places...after all, all I pretty much did was list how many locations were in the area and the Website...(WT-en) Unizeppelin 01:46, 12 September 2006 (EDT)
 * As for the long list of ethnic grocery stores, maybe try to pick the best one of each ethnicity? I think the section is dis-proportionately large compared to the percentage of travelers likely to be cooking for themselves in the middle of Iowa. As for the ones I deleted, I removed them because they are big chains, normal places just like every other city on the US map has, most of which also have pharmacies, photo processing, etc. If Dahls and Fareway are unique to Iowa, put them in the Iowa article. Wal-mart and Target are pretty ubiquitous in the States, so if anywhere, I'd put them in the United States article. I definitely don't want to see a Wal-Mart listing in every article for every American city over 10,000 people, do you? For the same reason, I remove McDonald's other mega-fast-food chains when I find listings in city articles. (WT-en) Texugo 04:20, 12 September 2006 (EDT)

Greetings from USA/Italy
Welcome and WOW !! Can see you are a real master of languages. I am an Italian-American citizen and have been working with a kind gentleman, Lucio DeMarcellis, to familiarize people with our hometown of Teramo in the Abruzzo Region.

Nara restaurants
You completely reverted the experience I had in this Nara restaurant, just based on an "assumption" that this is not possible, although I explicitly state that this is my experience. I do not know about Hamamatsu, but here in Tokyo love restaurants are a new gadget for couples who seek the thrill of having "sanctioned" sex in public. It is this kind of unreflected editing that made me drop out of Wikipedia long ago.
 * I'm sorry for the revert, but I was just thinking, you know, Nara is NOT Tokyo. Much more rural place. The description of the restaurant that was there before was fairly positive and normal. Did you actually see people having sex in the restaurant? If the place is actually as bad as you made it sound, then our policy is not to list it at all-- we don't list negative reviews-- so it was either revert what you added, or delete the listing altogether, and I opted for the former, given that I only had the word of an un-registered user IP address (you) against what was there before. Perhaps you could just delete the listing and give a more detailed account of why you did so in a note on Nara's talk page? (WT-en) Texugo 01:45, 11 June 2007 (EDT)

Autor: setenil (Juan Gutierrez) Mensaje para Texugo.
''' Hola Texugo, soy juan Gutiérrez (setenil), yo fui quién añadió el texto y las fotos para Setenil de las Bodegas que borraste porque dices que los copié de revistaibérica, de opcionrural creo y de setenil.com. Decirte que si puse esos textos es porque son mios. En primer lugar yo soy el propietario de Turismo de Setenil, empresa que gestiona la Oficina de Turismo de Setenil y también soy webmaster de setenil.com. Si aparecen en las otras webs es porque yo colaboré con ellos. Esto lo puedes corroborar contactando con ellos si quieres. Las fotos también se las envié yo. Tengo los originales de todo. Te garantizo que son mias hechas con una cybershot. Estuve un buen rato editando todo para ponerlo en esta web para que la gente conozca este encantador pueblo, al menos me podrías haber preguntado antes de borrarlo todo, despreciando mi trabajo, para que te hubiera dado las explicaciones oportunas. De todas formas gracias

San Francisco/Parking Meter 568 47610
I've restored the content on the infamous San Francisco parking meter article for now - the page is up for VFD, and in the past people have asked that VFD content not be removed so that it's clear what is being nominated for deletion. As always, discussion on Project:Votes for deletion is welcome if you feel strongly that the page should be blanked, although hopefully we can allow this famous meter to live out its final days without too much controversy :) -- (WT-en) Ryan • (talk) • 00:17, 11 September 2007 (EDT)
 * That's fine. I don't feel strongly about it-- I had just blanked it when I moved that text to the actual article so it wouldn't exist in two places, as one normally does when moving text. I figured the title alone leaves pretty clear why it should be deleted. (WT-en) Texugo 02:45, 11 September 2007 (EDT)

Bosnia Edit
You removed a section from the Bosnia page on "Eat" - saying it was copied from another page. This is incorrect. I was the author of the majority of the Eat section on that page and the forum you pointed out - http://www.alloexpat.com/bosnia_herzegovina_expat_forum/rss.php?f=8 - copied that section from WikiTravel, not the other way around. If you review history, you will see I made the first significant addition to the Eat section on May 12, 2005. The Forum page you provide the link for was created May 14, 2007. It appears to me that you frequently remove things from other pages, judging by the comments other users have left you. The point of Wiki is to CONTRIBUTE and GROW, not to unnecessarily remove! If you have nothing to add, then don't go around cutting pages. Thanks.

 * It was an honest mistake. We all make those sometimes. And I don't particularly appreciate the reprimand there, because yes I do frequently remove things from pages, and that in itself is a form of contribution. I do far more removing and reorganizing than adding-- it's called editing, and it is an extremely important part of any wiki. The majority of the things I remove are indeed copyright violations, first person narratives, graffiti, spam, or they are links or other things which are out of line with Wikivoyage's policies. Sometimes sections get too long or contain extraneous information that causes the article to lose its focus and makes the pertinent information more difficult to locate, etc. The current version of the Bosnia eat section is a good example. While the tone of the text is right on, the section is a giant block of text, far bigger than the eat section for even China, with no subsections or bulleting, and it meanders a great deal, discussing stews in 3 different places, bread in two different places, etc. The one massive detailed paragraph about smoked meats is also probably more than the average traveller needs to know. The section is in need of a good editing, and I can't promise you that more text will not eventually be removed.(WT-en) Texugo 22:32, 31 January 2008 (EST)

City trimming
Alas, I spent much time being sure that all cities and towns were included in regions for Massachusetts at the behest of Evan (remember him?) :) I understand why you are trimming, but maybe we could leave them under "other towns" or something? -(WT-en) OldPine 22:42, 24 February 2008 (EST)
 * I have only removed cities for which there is still no article. Why is the area any exception to our 9 cities rule? Also, doesn't this area need to be de-countyfied? (WT-en) Texugo 22:45, 24 February 2008 (EST)
 * I understood it this way: Not that every little town can't have its own article. I think they should, but not every little place needs to be listed on a sub-region page when the get out section of the closest decent size place would be enough. As for subdivision, I was under the impression from discussions like this that we want to use counties only when necessary. In this case, don't the three eloquently described subregions of the Connecticut River Valley, the Hilltowns, and the Eastern Uplands make more sense as a way to subdivide this region? (WT-en) Texugo 23:08, 24 February 2008 (EST)
 * The general consensus here, as I read it, is that we should not trim cities from regions if it orphans pages—that is, every town for which we have an article should be navigable via the geographical hierarchy. For example, we leave +9 cities linked from Macedonia, since it currently has no sub-regions. The other feeling in this discussion was to leave +9 cities in region pages for which there is no useful subdivision. Hope that helps. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 02:00, 25 February 2008 (EST)

Panhandle regions
Yeah, these look really good to me—although I only visited the High Plains, so I'm no expert. Using counties wouldn't have made any sense, and your boundary descriptions look nice and precise. On a different note, I just checked out some internet photos of Caprock Canyons, and that looks like a really cool park I overlooked. A good reason to return! --(WT-en) Peter Talk 02:17, 6 March 2008 (EST)

Montgomery County, Pennsylvania
Just curious why all the edits on my Montgomery County PA entry .. . you shortened it a lot!

Poland
What are your thoughts onPomeranian Voivodship and Pomorskie Voivodship? They're the same. There's not an exact science to naming the voivodships, because it's easy to confuse the English translation of voivodships, so I, use a mixture of the Polish and English names when talking with friends in Warsaw. Thus, I'm not sure which name to use and which one to redirect. -- (WT-en) Sapphire • (Talk) • 11:12, 12 March 2008 (EDT)

Mongolia
This isn't wikipedia, so I don't want to vandalise. Unlike wikipedia, this could actually help someone or mean something. Therefore, I really want to hear by what reasoning Mongolia could be considered part of East Asia, and why we shouldn't just set about fixing the references. Shit, I'll do it, I have a cold. What else do I have to do?

Hey mate, seriously, can you name one similarity between Mongolia and East Asia? (WV-en) dsmccohen

Maoming
Hiya. I have noticed that you spend quite a bit of time out here. Thought you might want to take a look at Maoming. It looks more like a Wikipedia article than a Wikivoyage information page. Keep up the good work. (WT-en) Woodstock 14:16, 24 March 2008 (EDT)
 * Thanks. It was almost all copyright violations. Now it's taken care of. (WT-en) Texugo 02:38, 25 March 2008 (EDT)

tag on Albuquerque
I was just curious, why did you add a tag on the Eat section on Albuquerque? I took it down because as far as I can see, the Manual of Style is excellent. But I wanted to find out why you put it on, in case there is something I'm missing. (WT-en) PerryPlanet 20:08, 30 March 2008 (EDT)

 * I put that because there is little precedence for dividing the restaurant listings into local cuisine and non-local cuisine. If that were MoS-kosher, I'm sure every city in Japan would have to have Japanese and Non-Japanese sections. The same would be true for many thousands of other locations too. Why should Albuquerque get special treatment? (WT-en) Texugo 20:14, 30 March 2008 (EDT)
 * Hmmm, I never thought of that before. Santa Fe has the same setup too. I always thought dividing up the listings here was kind of useful, but I can really see your argument. Well, I'm game for merging the two back together, but let's talk to (WT-en) Bill, he's one of the main contributors to the Santa Fe article and he'd probably have something interesting to say about this. (WT-en) PerryPlanet 20:29, 30 March 2008 (EDT)
 * IMO the division of cuisines in the Albuquerque article is a Good Thing, because there is a specific problem with restaurant listings for "Large" city articles. Cities in that size range usually (unless they're hopelessly unattractive to the traveler) have many more satisfactory restaurants in each price range than are handled in our usual 7-to-9-member lists.  However, precisely because they are Large, rather than Huge, cities, reducing the size of the lists by districtifying the city doesn't make sense.  The breakout by cuisine strikes me as one of several appropriate ways of addressing the problem.  There is also the point that for cities with distinctive regional cuisines (as Albuquerque has), it does the traveler a service to know which restaurants are serving that cuisine, which may be one of the things the traveler is going there specifically to get.  TTCF!
 * I see that some time ago, you advocated cuisine headings on Project:Big city article template, but the conversation failed to "light." I've tried to re-kindle it; please join the discussion there. -- (WT-en) Bill-on-the-Hill 12:23, 31 March 2008 (EDT)

Your Texas articles
Thanks for the reminder on my user talk page. I've been crazy busy with work, but am going to spend some weekends on local travel. I'm actually going through Seguin tomorrow (you created that article on 27 mar), and will try to get some photographs and fill out the page. (WT-en) Jordanmills 18:52, 4 April 2008 (EDT)
 * BTW where did you get these sub-region names and descriptions? Most of them seem inaccurate, and I haven't really heard of any of them. (WT-en) Jordanmills 20:02, 4 April 2008 (EDT)
 * Okay, you seriously need to stop reverting my region edits, especially if you're not going to discuss it. (WT-en) Jordanmills 12:09, 7 April 2008 (EDT)
 * Excuse me?? I gave everyone a lengthy explanation of my breakdown of sub-regions here. I spent 3 or 4 weeks working on this, and the 5 macro-regions of Texas really need to be broken down because each is like the size of Pennsylvania and there are far too many towns to be covered in one region article. Before you go eliminating my subdivisions and going back to what we had before, it is you that need to discuss and suggest something better. (WT-en) Texugo 12:16, 7 April 2008 (EDT)
 * Well now you finally talk. I tried to discuss it, and you weren't inclined to until I posted in the Travellers' pubThe subdivisions are arbitrary, oddly named, and comletely unknown.  It confuses locals, let alone travelers, and shouldn't be here. (WT-en) Jordanmills 12:28, 7 April 2008 (EDT)

Zamboanga City
202.57.93.170 23:52, 12 April 2008 (EDT) How come would you remove fast foods? Is there any reason why remove Jollibee, McDonald's, etc.? It should also be included but as separate sub-sections inside the "Eat" section.
 * Imagine your friend is going there for a couple of days and he/she asks you, "Where is a good place to eat?" Are you going to recommend fast food? There are enough restaurants in this list that there is no reason to recommend a Big Mac. In fact, it is now slightly over the ideal number, but it needs to be separated into Budget, Mid-range, and Splurge sections. (WT-en) Texugo 02:33, 13 April 2008 (EDT)

Puerto Morelos, MX Link deletion
I am curious why the link I provided to on-line maps of Puerto Morelos was deleted. The maps are non-commercial and appear on a basically non-profit, informational website. I am the creator of these maps so copywrite is not an issue. The Wikivoyage page is http://en.wikivoyage.org/w/index.php?title=Puerto_Morelos&action=history

The edit is the one done on 22 March 2008 and reverted by you on the same day. Thanks
 * Answer here. (WT-en) Texugo 00:24, 26 April 2008 (EDT)

Guess I'm confused on why referring to the vivapuertomorelos site is any different than all the links located in the sleep section. Most all of which are 3rd party sites.(WT-en) PuertoMorelosFrank 17:57, 26 April 2008 (EDT)

Thanks... San Gil, Colombia Page
Thanks for administrating the page on San Gil, unfortunately someone keeps deleting useful information I have no problem with the new hostel being on the site. Ive just been coming back weekly to re-add Macondo hostel which she deletes on a monthly basis. Is there anyway of stopping businesses deleting other hostels?

 * There is no real way to do that short of banning the person, which we tend to avoid. Unexplained deletions tend to be reverted though, so unless there is something fundamentally non-wikivoyage about your listing in the first place, others will support your position. Do keep in mind, however, that you cannot copy and paste material from any other website without providing proof of legal permission on the Talk page. (WT-en) Texugo 19:04, 7 May 2008 (EDT)

Thanks mate, the info off the web was actually from my webpage, I apologise, should have read the rules. I guess i just have to check each week and put the info back when its deleted.

onsortir.cat
Hi Bryan! We received a proposal of collaboration for a mutual promotion with a start-up: onsortir.cat

It's a place to gather touristic information, have people's opinions, webs for shops, videos, streaming, etc. but it's only focused to areas where the catalan language is spoken. This means all users of OnSortir write in catalan, just like users in the catalan version of Wikivoyage. They are planning for the near future (next winter or so) to introduce individual pages for each account (just like in Wikivoyage each user has its own page). The proposal is to have a banner (something similar to the babel distinction for languages) which would say "I am a OnSortir user". In exchange, they would have a banner for those users to show in their pages in OnSortir one "I am a Wikivoyage user" with a link to the Catalan Wikivoyage.

In the meantime, they also offer a free (no cost) advertising space for us in their web while it's free (still without a contract).

What do you say? Do you like it? (WT-en) Carmepla 14:25, 20 July 2008 (EDT)

Need Advice
You gave some good advice on my posts on Decatur, Georgia. I have someone who keeps posting a liquor store that does not need to be on this list (along with a small mexican restaurant of no note). There are several 5-6 better mexican restaurants (economy & high end) and closer liquor stores to the city, and the listing is highly suspicious (for someone to list side by side modest establishments outside the city surrounded by a car wash and car dealerships). I am even wondering if the poster has an affiliation with the store? I have done a lot of posts on wikipedia (less on wikivoyage) and recognize there are edits I do not agree with. However, this is really bizarre - these establishments do not belong on this list. Is there anything to do when something like this happens? Thanks.--(WT-en) Baxterguy 09:01, 23 September 2008 (EDT)

Fortaleza
And another thing, that is a bit on the side: Why is it that links are included when you print the guide? You sure won't need the links unless you are on a computer with an internet connection, and then you might as well open the guide online.
 * Hi. I did not understand why you undid the links I had added: One for buses within the state of Ceara, the other for a google map describing a bus line within the city. So I undid it, reverting it. Perhaps I have misunderstood something? I am sure we can come to terms. (WT-en) Mariusm98 13:52, 11 October 2008 (EDT)
 * The first link you deleted was one that points to a list of all bus lines within the state, which I cannot see as violating the policy. When it comes to the google maps I kind of see your point that maps had rather be in the wikivoyage article itself. However, as long as we don't have such maps (I never tried to make one myself. Read the instructions, and it seemed rather a lot of work), it must be better to have these google maps than nothing at all. Or?

Apalachicola National Forest
Why did you destroy my work on Apalachicola National Forest? I read your edit note. The page was NOT from Wikipedia; it was either Public Domain text or my own work.

School Project
PLEASE leave the Lansdowne, PA page alone until after Tuesday 10/19 because I am doing this as a school project and I NEED my changes to stay. I understand that you are trying to make it uniform and better for the wikivoyage as a whole but this is for my grade and I would appreciate it if you would leave my changes alone. The page had barely anything on it until I started editing it as a project so anything I add is an improvement. Thank you for your understanding. (WT-en) Ellenlyons 23:35, 19 October 2008 (EDT)

I read the standard formatting rules and I do not see why you are making half of the changes you are making. You are also making changes that make absolutely no sense at all such as changing "Lansdowne is easily accessible" to "Lansdowne in easliy accessable". I understand that you are trying to make wikivoyage a better place but I honestly feel that you are taking away from the page I have added to, and all your repeated changes have done is discourage me from ever contributing to wikivoyage again. Before I was given this project I had never even heard of wikivoyage and when I started I got excited to add to this page but you have just frustrated me. (WT-en) Ellenlyons 00:53, 20 October 2008 (EDT)

Yellow Springs,OH
Thanks for cleaning up my work. I did this as an assignment for an intro course in tourism and hospitality management, I'm a former Antiochian.

I just wanted to ask something
In the article involivng Edmonton, you deleted all the work in the 'work' section. Why is that? I know it says in the 'history', but that reason I don't get, whats the point in even having a work section, really? Also, if you like look at the Calgary one, it is similar. I just don't get it. Please explain. (WT-en) Edmontonenthusiast 14:47, 24 October 2008 (EDT)

Armenia
Hi - please let me know what Manual of Style issues you see in the Armenia, Yerevan, and all the regional articles under Armenia if you have the time. I've spent some time looking at the manual and other articles, but I think you're much more familiar with the style and it might be easier for you to spot issues. I'd prefer to make the changes necessary in order to make sure the articles make sense and work. Thanks, (WT-en) Raffikojian 15:16, 24 October 2008 (EDT)

 * Thanks. I'll take a look at the non-standard heading in Yerevan, they were there before and didn't change them so far as I can recall.  We can merge whatever doesn't belong into the Armenia article, or wherever it does belong.  I'll see what can be done about addresses as well.  For the region articles, I'm glad they're in overall good shape.  I am not sure though if it makes sense to put these destinations all as individual bullets.  We need a way to kind of group some of them in specific areas/subgroups, for at least some of these collections of sites which I want people to see are all close to each other or in a logical order, but which from the descriptions once in the area, they can pick what they like and skip the others... the key being that they see clearly they're all in one area, or along a route.  If there's a way to do this with bullets (like a separate heading for a sub-area like "Ashtarak and Kasagh River Gorge monuments", and then bullets below that, this can work for me as a workable solution.  Let me know what you think of that. (WT-en) Raffikojian 14:19, 25 October 2008 (EDT)

Thanks TEXUGO very much!
Thanks for teaching me a bunch of stuff on WT and cleaning up my edits! Even if we don't agree (on certaasin things) I still appreciate your work(s)! (WT-en) Edmontonenthusiast 02:02, 26 October 2008 (EDT)

 * No problem. When I started here, I too disagreed about a lot of things, but I have come to respect the consensus on the way things work. Keep an open mind and know that your work is appreciated, even if you don't hear much about it. When I started about 2 and a half years ago, I created a big page from scratch for Hamamatsu in Japan, where I live. (Incidentally, its Eat section still reflects my lack of understanding of our style guide at the time and needs to be reworked into the 3 standard price sections.) But anyway, I did it mostly by myself, since it's not a well known place and there are no other contributors who know it, but since that time, I have actually met a number of travellers using the article I contributed to, and have noticed that on occasion information in the article gets updated by other users in a fairly timely manner (i.e. when a bar closes, someone removes the listing). So keep up the good work. Satisfaction may come when you least expect it. (WT-en) Texugo 02:14, 26 October 2008 (EDT)
 * Thanks for the advice :)! Keep smiling, (WT-en) Edmontonenthusiast 02:18, 26 October 2008 (EDT)
 * Thanks again for your wonderful (even tiny) edits to Edmonton section. I am so happy:)!  I laughed when you edited "Charlotte" and summarized...I know Wal-Mart is big and all...That was hilarious.  Heh.  Are you learning anything about Edmonton via the articles, if so, what in particular? Also, how come you got rid of the park listings in South Central? ¿ Keep smiling, (WT-en) Edmontonenthusiast 20:52, 27 October 2008 (EDT)
 * Ah, I have no idea how I managed to get rid of those. I put the descriptions back in. Don't think they need their own header at this point though, since there are only three things in the See section anyway. But anyway, yeah, I've never given Edmonton much thought before. Calgary is the furthest north I've been in that area, and yes, the only thing I'd heard about there was the mall, so it's good to hear about other attractions there. (WT-en) Texugo 21:12, 27 October 2008 (EDT)
 * Oh god, do you have any idea how much I hate that mall? That place is a hole!  It destroyed the downtown in the '80s (luckily now it's on the rebound) and it just contributes to the "precious" suburban life.  Edmonton is probably somewhat similar to Austin, TX, you've been in Texas, so I'd think you'd know.  We have a quite large skyline, tomorrow I think, I will take pictures of the "dense" angles and upload them here.  This is mostly because we have such a large residential high rise community-Oliver, but downtown itself has a lot of highrises/res highrises.  US cities have tiny skyline in comparison (Edmonton probably has a bigger skyline than Houston or Miami, both 5X the size, heh)..Anyways...what stuff have you learned in particular?  If it's something big, like a lot of things under the same topic just list/say small thing about them.  I really want to know, unless, of course, you don't want to, ehehe.  Anyways, thanks, Keep smiling, (WT-en) Edmontonenthusiast 21:18, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

Trans-Siberian Railway
Holla Tex, not sure I agree on your removal of the Lonely Planet phrase - it might just have been reflex - but I do think it has a place, obviously i can't quote it because of copyright issues, but it's outright wrong what they write, and a subject of much discussion at the hostels i stayed at while i was doing the trip. Personally I avoided Platzkart because of LP's description, until an Aussie dragged me into one. LP has a scary authority considering how loose their research is, and because if this I personally think it deserves a mention (every bloody traveler i met on that trip had a copy of the LP guide). (WT-en) Sertmann 18:54, 29 October 2008 (EDT)

 * Sorry I never replied. I was removing a lot of references to LP that day, most of which were using LP to give leverage to a recommendation. In this particular case however, I guess I overlooked the fact that the reference was being used to say LP is wrong, which is OK I suppose. If you want to restore it (if you haven't already), I could live with that. (WT-en) Texugo 23:15, 8 November 2008 (EST)

Learn
I obviously don't get why "Learn" can't be listed in Edmonton. Seriously, I don't get it. Isn't the idea of "cope" for people who are going to be living in the city for a while? Keep smiling, (WT-en) ee talk 19:25, 10 November 2008 (EST).

 * Nothing on Wikivoyage is for long-term residents. This is why we don't allow real estate listings, retirement information, relocation assistance info, job search information, long-term employment statistics, public school information, or full-time higher education programs. The description of the Cope section from the article template is as follows:
 * This section is for all those little items that people need to know when they're in a city. Where can you do laundry? Go to a gym? Get computers repaired? Anything that has to do with the practicalities of daily life should go here.

 * Don't put something here when it could fit in one of the other sections. If there's nothing to put in this section, leave it out.
 * Hope you understand. (WT-en) Texugo 19:32, 10 November 2008 (EST)
 * P.S. - By the way, if a major university or whatever has historical or architectural significance, or is simply a nice place for strolling or hanging out, you might put it in the See section. Also, as it currently stands, the Learn and Work sections, when they do exist, are their own separate sections, not a subheading of Cope. (WT-en) Texugo 19:36, 10 November 2008 (EST)

 * KAY, it makes sense now, thanks a lot . I put work and learn under cope because there was discussion to do that.  Anyways the UofA has Rutherford House which is a historical building and Robbins Health Centere apart of Grant MaCewan is a architectural beauty.  What if you did something about learn in the Understand section?  Keep smiling, (WT-en) ee  talk 19:43, 10 November 2008 (EST).
 * The Learn section, as I said before, is a stand alone section. It is for courses (cooking, crafts, local history, language, scuba, etc.) that a tourist might be interested in doing while in the destination. (WT-en) Texugo 19:45, 10 November 2008 (EST)

Small, blobs of a financial district- though the towers are tall, the skyscraper area is small and mostly is of brutalist office towers. Maybe I searched bad examples, show me some more. Don't come out with New York or Minneapolis, I know those are different. I am sorry. But, I'd like to hear your opinion. It is also a known fact as to why Canadian cities have exceedingly higher density to their American similar sised-in the 60s, 70s and 80s, there was a lotta urban decay and big racial issues in the US which made the development put off. In Canada, there was some decay, but not much so they kept building, but I am saying there is an angle of Edmonton where you can get that kind of American feel, as there is for Montreal (Boston, Rochester) and Calgary (Denver)and Winnipeg(Salt Lake City).

 * I don't really understand what it is that you are saying is so qualitatively different about the skyline itself. I mean, every city has a different skyline so it's a little hard to generalize, and I don't ever get "an American feel" or "a Canadian feel" just by seeing a skyline anyway. I honestly have no idea what you're talking about. (WT-en) Texugo 23:56, 29 November 2008 (EST)

 * It's not a tuff concept. You are saying you don't feel a style in a skyline comparing Canadian, Australian, America, German, French, Russian, Chinese, Japanese cities?  Tell me exactly what you don't get.  (WT-en) edmontonenthusiast [ee]  .T.A.L.K. 00:17, 30 November 2008 (EST).

 * Also what do ya think "typical power centre" means? It's just not that hard to understand.  You should be able to grasp it.  I really don't get it.  (WT-en) <font color="#339989">edmontonenthusiast [ee]  <font color="#8848d7">.T.A.L.K. 00:19, 30 November 2008 (EST).
 * Of course Japanese skylines are different. Very, very, very different. But the difference if any between Canadian and American skylines is really not that remarkable at all. As for the Depot place, the phrase I removed was "This place is just that regular power centre," which makes it sound like the reader already knows what to expect there, rather than actually giving the information. The term "power center" itself is a Canadianism. I don't know if the term has caught on in the states or not, but you are the first person I've ever heard use it, and personally I had to look it up to see what you are talking about. That's not the kind of writing we want to use, I believe. (WT-en) Texugo 00:50, 30 November 2008 (EST)
 * Also, it is fairly rude to justify your opinion by questioning the other person's cognitive skills with phrases like "it's not a tuff concept" and "it's not that hard to understand", etc. Don't talk to me that way anymore. (WT-en) Texugo 00:54, 30 November 2008 (EST)

 * Funny I heard that term first on AmericanTV. Canadian/American skylines are more different than you think.  Over all, similar, but still.  (WT-en) <font color="#339989">edmontonenthusiast [ee]  <font color="#8848d7">.T.A.L.K. 01:45, 30 November 2008 (EST).

Accommodation listing, Holmes County
Hi there. Any particular reason you deleted this information from the Holmes County Article I edited? It is clear that you have the Inn At Honey Run listed there and The Barn Inn is located less than 350' away from that location, which is also in Holmes County.

Accommodation listing, Millersburg
Hi there again. I just had user (WT-en) Peterfitzgerald revert the addition you approved for Millersburg. Are you guys on the same page or do you just randomly undo edits and additions? It's amazing anything gets added to this place with all the inconsistencies. (WT-en) Silenyjizda

Re:Dalton Highway map
You changed the name of the map on this page from [[Image:Dalton Highway Map.gif... to [[Image:Dalton_Highway_Map.gif... then, two edits later deleted the imagebox because you said there was no image. Also, you said that .gif should not be used. According to the image use page on Wikivoyage Shared, "The GIF format should not be used, since it is technically inferior to PNG, which has about the same purpose." Well, the map was the only such map I could find online and it was created in .gif format. The only way I can think of changing it from .gif to .png would be to take a screenshot on my computer, but since the screen is only 15" the map would be shrunk in size and much of the text would be too small to read. If the file format is inferior, I would assume that you would want a better format, but would it be acceptable to keep .gif format in lieu of a better format. I think the article is greatly benefitted by having a map. [[User:(WT-en) AHeneen|(WT-en) AHeneen]] 16:24, 30 November 2008 (EST)
 * PNG, you say? Most graphic-editing software is able to convert between those formats without difficulty, like so:   (WT-en) Dguillaime 17:09, 30 November 2008 (EST)

Hi Texugo
Can you locate me some of the best article (tourist guide) on wikivoyage? I just wanted to see them. Thanks (WT-en) Manoj nav 00:15, 5 December 2008 (EST)

 * I have uploaded some of my own work(images) on wikipedia under free license. Will it be fine to upload the same image here under CC license? (WT-en) Manoj nav 00:19, 5 December 2008 (EST)

 * Good question. Licensing is not my strongpoint. I suggest you ask (WT-en) Peter or (WT-en) Jani. (WT-en) Texugo 00:21, 5 December 2008 (EST)

You have reverted my edit. It's sad that you are supporting to leave a controversial section in the article as it is, in place of putting it in to the article only after proper consensus. Please stop ganging up. I don't know know if there is no rule on wikivoyage. (WT-en) Manoj nav 01:41, 5 December 2008 (EST)

The best articles are San Francisco (and it's districts), Chicago (and it's districts), Paris (and it's districts), Albuquerque, Sante Fe, Sheki, and Pittsburgh. (WT-en) <font color="#339989">edmontonenthusiast [ee] <font color="#8848d7">.T.A.L.K. 14:07, 5 December 2008 (EST).

 * Um.. I answered that question long ago, ee, on his talk page. (WT-en) Texugo 01:10, 6 December 2008 (EST)

Your question.
While I appreciate you asking for my input, upon readinng the text of your proposal, I find it to be waaaay over my head. I was born in a much simpler time and barely grasp the whole wiki concept, so I just play along and try not to make a mess. Keep up the good work, but I think you need a sharper mind than mine for these technical issues. I just like lobster and the beach. Wikivoyage is there for me to find a safe beach and cheap lobster. It is a great project which will only get better, I am amazed at the amount of data added every day. All of you impress me every day. Well, most of you. :-) 14:00, 5 December 2008 (EST)
 * The text above was from me. Apparently, I was not signed in. I have been following you Route Box addition to the detinations. After seeing what you are doing, I think that is a great idea and addittion to wikivoyage. Good job!! (WT-en) 2old 11:58, 20 December 2008 (EST)

Re:Project:Routes Expedition
I created the List of US Interstates as a complement to the expedition to provide a list of the interstates for users to create articles. I figured that once the list is complete it could be a subsection of List of itineraries. I'm still learning all the rules and customs around here, I'm not perfect yet. (WT-en) AHeneen 03:54, 7 December 2008 (EST)

Great!
Great work implenting the highway thing in cities. It is very good, and you are doing an amazing work. I hope to get doing some aswell once we sort out the Canadian highway thing and I learn more about it (haven't seen too much on it). Good job and it was a wonderful idea.

Route Boxes
I have not been around here much lately, but I had to stop by your talk page and let you know how much I like the Route Boxes that you have been working on. Excellent work. These should be very useful. Kudos to you for the work. I am not sure how much I will be around, but I will help where I can. (WT-en) Tom Holland (xltel) 08:33, 14 December 2008 (EST)

 * Hey Brian, I think the routeboxes look very cool, and I'm interested to see how they develop. I still don't, however, feel like I have a very good idea of how they will work sitewide. So for the time being I'll just add a "ditto" to what Ryan already said on the Routes Expedition talk page. I'll try and give more detailed feedback when you get a policy page up and running. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 15:18, 14 December 2008 (EST)

Route Box Discussion
I rearranged some of your comments in response to my notes on the route box discussion, so the points were kept separate. I hope I just kept things clear, and didn't move any of your comments out of their context. --(WT-en) Inas 20:46, 15 December 2008 (EST)

edmonton cotm
Would you be willing to help in Edmontons cotm next month? You are a real help and you know the rules and how to format, so I don't see why not. It would be a great help, if you cant, that's fine to. I just want to recruit some people so I know it will get worked on, as opposed to others. Anyways, thanks for all the help so far TEXUGO!

Hi Tex! I hope you have a Merry Christmas. I want to thank you for your wonderful help in articles I've been editing as they have been greatly appreciated, also I appreciate you helping me out find the rules and norms. I also want to thank you for implenting the route box. Have a wonderful Christmas, along with your family. Have a great New Year.

Jasper NP
Hi Texago, thanks for the comments on the Jasper routebox. I think I did that the first day before I had figured out it wouldn't work. I'd still like to mention the national parks (because they're a big draw themselves), so I've set up the routes so it reads: Jasper (in Jasper NP). I've also updated the Jasper NP routebox so it reads the same as the Jasper routebox. Let me know if you think this works or not. Cheers (WT-en) Shaund 22:21, 1 January 2009 (EST)
