Located on the western coast of Tokyo Bay directly south of Tokyo, Yokohama practice page (横浜) is the second largest city in Japan and one of the cities most used to seeing foreigners.

Understand
Yokohama was the first port opened up to foreign trade after the opening of Japan in 1854. At the forefront of the Meiji restoration, the first train line in Japan connected Tokyo and Yokohama. However, Yokohama was devastated by the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 and again by the firebombings of World War II, and never really regained its prominence. It remains a maritime city to this day and retains an international flavor.

 * City of Yokohama

 * Naka Ward Office provides webpage and free tourist maps in English.

Get in
Yokohama is located only half an hour away from Tokyo, and effectively forms a part of the giant conurbation.

By plane
Yokohama does not have its own airport. You can reach Yokohama from Tokyo's two main airports.

Some Narita Express trains from Narita Airport go through to Yokohama (1 1/2 hours, ¥4380). Limousine Buses run frequently from Narita to the Yokohama City Air Terminal (YCAT) (1 1/2 ~3 hours, ¥3500). The cheapest access from Narita Airport is to take a Keisei train to Nippori, then change to a JR Keihin-Tohoku Line train for Yokohama (about 2 hr. and ¥1540).

The Keihin Kyuko line (Keikyu line) is the best route from Haneda Airport to Yokohama (25 minutes direct, 30 minutes with connection, ¥470).

By train
The overwhelming majority of visitors to Yokohama arrive from Tokyo by train. A multitude of train lines connect the two cities at roughly equal prices (around ¥200 one-way), but some of the more convenient options are:

 * Tokyu Toyoko Line (東急東横線) from Shibuya to Yokohama Station. Some trains on the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line run through to the Toyoko Line, which in turn runs through to the recently-opened Minato Mirai 21 subway line (see below).  A trip from Shibuya to Yokohama takes as little as 24 minutes on the fastest service; Chinatown, the terminus of the MM21 line, is another 10 minutes away. Up to eight kyūkō (急行) and tokkyū (特急) trains per hour. In the year 2012, the Toyoko Line will link to the Tokyo Metro Fukutoshin Line subway, allowing trains to continue north to Shinjuku, Ikebukuro and into Saitama.

 * JR Shonan Shinjuku Line (湘南新宿ライン) from Ōmiya, Akabane, Ikebukuro, Shinjuku, Shibuya, Ebisu and Ōsaki. Established in 2003, this line allows for easy access to Yokohama from west Tokyo. Roughly four trains per hour, reaching Yokohama from Shinjuku in as little as 30 minutes. This line will have no major competition until the Toyoko/Fukutoshin services join together in 2012.

 * JR Tokaido Main Line (東海道線) from Tokyo and Shinagawa stations (both on the Yamanote Line). Departs every 10 minutes; more trains during rush hour. About 25 minutes from Tokyo to Yokohama. Note that Commuter Rapid Service (通勤快速) and Shonan Liner (湘南ライナー) trains do not  stop at Yokohama Station.

 * JR Yokosuka Line (横須賀線): A less-convenient alternative from Tokyo Station and Shinagawa. However, it is the route of choice if coming from stations east of Tokyo on the Sobu Rapid line, such as Tsudanuma and Chiba, as most of these trains continue onto the Yokosuka line. About 30 minutes from Tokyo to Yokohama; about 75 minutes from Chiba. Departs every 15 minutes or so from Tokyo; more trains during rush hour.

 * JR Keihin Tohoku Line (京浜東北線) from Nippori, Ueno, Akihabara, Tokyo, and Shinagawa Stations. This train stops at more stations in Yokohama than the Yokosuka Line, including Sakuragicho (桜木町), which is within walking distance of Chinatown. It is also a convenient route from stations north of Tokyo in Saitama prefecture. About 35 minutes from Tokyo Station to Yokohama Station. Departs every 5 minutes from Tokyo; more trains during rush hour.

 * Keihin Kyuko Main Line (京浜急行線), or Keikyu for short, from Shinagawa and Haneda Airport. Most trains from the Toei Asakusa subway line continue onto the Keikyu line. Departs every 10 minutes from Shinagawa (more trains during rush hour), with the fastest train reaching Yokohama in only 18 minutes. Note that Keikyu WING (京急ウィング) trains, which run on weekday evenings, do not stop at Yokohama.

Shinkansen trains go to Shin-Yokohama station instead, a few subway stops away from the main Yokohama station. Alternatively, take the shinkansen to Shinagawa and change to the Tokaido, Yokosuka or Keihin Tohoku lines. If your final destination is Chinatown or a the harbor area, taking one of the non-Shinkansen trains listed above is likely to be faster.

Minato-Mirai Line
The Minato Mirai Line (みなとみらい線) (Japanese link), opened in 2004, is a direct extension of the Tokyu Toyoko Line. Connection with the lines is at Yokohama Station, and the line itself has five stations: Shin-Takashimacho (新高島町), Minatomirai (みなとみらい), Bashamichi (馬車道), Nihon Ōdori (日本大通り), and Motomachi-Chūkagai (元町・中華街), terminating at the posh Motomachi shopping street and the second largest Chinatown in the world. The line’s stations itself are worth seeing, especially Minato-Mirai Station itself, where you are able to see straight up to the very spacious entrance hall (7 floors in all) of the Yokohama Landmark Tower, the tallest building in Japan.

Bashamichi station is with artifact bricks and hosts the remains of the first western style bank of Yokohama. Note also that Bashamichi (literal translation: horse carriage street) was the first street in Japan to have gas fired street lightings, which were re-installed lately. Bashamichi Station is surrounded by historical buildings, built only a century ago, but for Japanese standards are a true catapulting into westernization. Thus all buildings remaining (partially rebuilt after the heavy bombings of WWII) are protected as “historical – cultural national treasure.”

Nihon-Ōdori Station is similar to Bashamichi Station. Nihon-Ōdori (meaning Japan Avenue) is a two lane-two way avenue, which back then separated the living quarters of the foreign delegation and Japanese. The line runs parallel to the Keihin-Tohoku Line, but due to its massive expenses in keeping the designer-class stations running, the fares are rather pricey but definitely worthwhile. The line runs through the very historical parts of Yokohama, when Japan opened up towards the Western civilization. Many history-related museums of Yokohama are dotted along the line, and to attract further tourists, the line offers a one-day unlimited ride ticket (¥450 for adults, 1/2 price for children).

Get around

Yokohama is not a very automobile-friendly place, especially for foreigners. Public transit and walking work best.

By train
The Minato Mirai 21 subway line from Yokohama station down the harborfront to Chinatown is the best method of accessing the main tourist haunts. The main subway line is useful primarily for transfers between central Yokohama and the Shinkansen station. JR Negishi Line (根岸線) is also available for Chinatown and Minato Mirai Area. All Negishi Line Trains with the blue line are direct service via the Keihin-Tohoku Line. For suburban areas, Yokohama has a subway and extensive commuter rail lines that crisscross the city from every direction and to all neighboring cities.

By boat
A "sea bus" operates between JR Yokohama station (east exit), Minato Mirai and Yamashita Park, and is one of the nicest ways to get around on a sunny day. The fare is ¥340-700 depending on the distance.

On foot
Central Yokohama is comparatively compact and the Chinatown/Yamashita Park area is best explored on foot.

See

 * Chinatown (中華街 Chūkagai), MM21 Motomachi-Chukagai station, . Yokohama's Chinatown is the largest in Japan and dates back to the Opening of Japan in 1859. These days it's unabashedly touristy, but there are plenty of Chinese grocery stores and places to buy a cheap cheongsam dress or jade knick-knacks.

 * Bay Stars Stadium. Located in Naka ward. A short walk from Chinatown or Kannai station, this is probably one of the most fun places to watch a baseball game in Japan. Known as the Bay Stars Stadium, the Yokohama Baseball Team of the Central League, the Stadium itself was built on the remains of the Cricket Ballpark of the last century for the British delegation. The Bay Stars Stadium is an open roof stadium with natural grass, very rare in Japan, which prefers to man-made grass to save on costs, and the entertainment boasted throughout the games is trying hard, and doing a good job, by Japanese terms, in trying to have each game hosted at the "home ground" to be as American as possible.

 * Yamashita Park. On the waterfront, adjacent to the ferry terminal. Don't miss the statue of the "Girl With Red Shoes". This is also a good spot to see fireworks.

 * Marine Tower. The largest onland lighthouse in the world. It is located in Naka ward. Currently closed to the public until 2009 pending change of ownership and renovation.

 * Hikawa Maru. This passenger liner made 238 voyages across the Pacific to Seattle and Vancouver between 1930 and 1960, and served as a hospital ship during World War II. Currently closed to the public until 2009 pending change of ownership.

 * Sky Walk. An observation platform attached to the Bay Bridge. To get there, take a bus in front of JR Sakuragicho station. If you cannot find the correct bus, ask for help from the Tourist information center located right in front of the station. However, the bus trip takes quite a while and there is nothing more to see than the view of Minato Mirai from afar.

 * Landmark Tower, MM21 Minato Mirai station. The tallest building in Japan is located in the new Minato Mirai 21 district. The observation platform on the top 69th floor provides good views (admission ¥1,000). The elevators are said to be the fastest in Japan. For a classier experience, try the cocktail lounge on the 70th floor (¥1,000 cover, drinks ¥1000+ each) or eat dinner on the 68th (see below).

 * Sankei-en Park (三渓園) . 35 minutes by bus from Yokohama station. Located southeast of Naka ward, this is a traditional style of park and known as Teien (lit. "set park") in Japanese.  Opened in 1906, this large park (175000 sq.ft.) has many Japanese traditional buildings, 13 of which have been designated as national heritages.

 * Yamate (山手). This is the neighbourhood where foreigners settled and still settle. You can make a pleasant walk from the Italian garden near Ishikawa-cho station to the French park near Motomachi Chukagai station. The walk will take you along some nice houses that were previously owned by rich foreigners. Nowadays, these houses can be visited freely. A nice cakeshop can be found here as well. The foreigner cemetery is also along this route and houses a small museum with some pictures of the Motomachi shopping street in the old days and some more cartoons how the Japanese saw foreigners.

Do

 * Yokohama Cosmo World, just across the water from Minato Mirai 21, is a small amusement park which boasts the Cosmo Clock 21, a 112.5m Ferris wheel which doubles as "the world's largest clock" (the 60 arms double as second hands). The park also has two roller coasters, a log flume ride and several other attractions. Admission is free but the rides cost ¥500-700 each.

Buy

 * Minato Mirai 21 (みなとみらい２１) A futuristic city district built entirely on reclaimed land. If you like high-end shopping, then this is the place to check out. For a slightly less expensive shopping mall experience, try Yokohama World Porters  located on the other side of Cosmo World.

 * Motomachi (元町) is a small fashionable shopping district located near Chinatown. Get off at Minato Mirai line "Motomachi-Chinatown" station or JR line "Ishikawacho" station.

You get off at Sea side line "Torihama" station. It looks like small bay side town. There are about 220 shops. For example, Adidas, Nike, COACH, EDWIN and many other popular brands.
 * Mitsui outlet park (三井アウトレットパーク)��� is an outlet shopping mall located in Kanazawahakkei bay area.

There are about 370 shops, Cinema and Restaurants.
 * Lalaport Yokohama (ららぽーと横浜)　is a big shopping mall located in Kamoi. You get off at Yokohama line "Kamoi".

Cheap
Do you know Taiyaki?? It's Japanese traditional sweet. It's like a pancake shapes fish. Inside it, Mainly An. In this shop, There is an with Marone
 * Yokohama Kurikoan(横浜くりこ庵)

Mid-range

 * For Chinese food the obvious choice is Chinatown (中華街 Chūkagai), which has over 200 Chinese restaurants. Snacks are sold on the streets, but most restaurants in the area are quite expensive (expect to pay ¥1,500 for a decent lunch) and the food has been toned down to suit the Japanese palate. One of the most popular foods in Chinatown is Nikuman (肉まん nikuman), or bread filled with pork and vegetables, which are sold by dozens of stores and vendors.  Chinatown is the terminus of the Minato Mirai 21 line.

 * Shinyokohama Raamen Museum (新横浜ラーメン博物館 Shin-Yokohama rāmen hakubutsukan). Shin-Yokohama 2-14-21, . Paradise for noodle lovers, but not just because of the (Japanese-only) exhibits of the history of instant ramen noodles: the centerpiece here is the basement, which contains a recreation of 1950s-era Tokyo done in incredible detail, complete with operating branches of 10 famous ramen joints.  Expect to queue and pay at least ¥1000 for a bowl, but if you really love your noodles, it's worth it.  5 minute walk from Shin-Yokohama station (on the #1 subway line). Open from 11 AM to 11 PM daily, admission ¥300.

 * Chano-ma, in Aka-renga park in Minato-Mirai. There is a large floor about 60cm up where you can lay down with blankets and some pillows like a living room.

 * Tachibana, it is located near Higashihakuraku station in Kanagawa word in Yokohama city. Wanko-soba restaurant, which is Japanese noodles served in small bowls to have eating competition at restaurant.

Splurge

 * The Landmark Tower has Japanese, Chinese and French restaurants on the 68th floor, where you can enjoy excellent food and unparalleled views of Yokohama and Tokyo. But the luxury doesn't come cheap: dinner at any of these restaurants is around ¥10,000 per person.

Drink

 * Palm Bar And Cafe  Hodogaya Eki East Gate tel +81/(0) 45-712-0227. AKA the Digital Bar by the locals - A small trendy bar with a full array of top shelf liquors, bottled beers from 500 yen and daily drink specials from 420 yen makes it an inexpensive watering hole.  English music selections with a large screen TV plus free internet makes it a great place to relax after work.  Located 4mins from Yokohama Stn on the Yokosuka Line. Also bar snacks and pretty decent pasta from 900 yen. Open Mon-Sat. 19:00-2:00. 045-712-0227. http://www16.ocn.ne.jp/~kabu-fun/

 * Windjammer  Toraku Building 1F, Yamashita-cho, Naka-ku, tel +81/(0) 45-662-3966. A classy jazz bar on the edges of Chinatown run by a dapper American expat who loves to put on a show for his customers. Bands play downstairs most nights and there's a large screen for those on the second floor showing the action below. The decor is decadent and there's a chocolate fountain with fruit for dipping. Open 5.30pm-1am Sun-Thu, 6pm-2am Fri-Sat. Music cover 500yen, drinks from 800yen.

 * Downbeat  Miyamoto Bldg. 2F 1-43 Hanabusacho, Naku-ku 231-0052 Sakuragicho. Another jazz bar, but this one features an extensive record collection, a "record menu" and a foreigner friendly staff. Request a song out of the menu and the owner will put it in the queue.

 * Ishikawacho, 4-168 Sekiuti Real Estate Building 2, B1F. One of Yokohama's hottest, and oldest, hip hop clubs. DJ's spinning R&B, Reggae, and Hip Hop. Special events throughout the month.

 * Summer brings the beer gardens : both Luminè Department Store (near Yokohama Station) and the Star Hotel sport the rooftop variety, or there's a real garden next to Yamate Jubankan.

 * HOGS HEAD. Irish/American pub. Address: Naka-ku Tokiwa-cho 6-77, No 2 Hiyoshi Bldg 1F (中区常盤町6-77第2日吉ビル１F). If you like the Windjammer, you will like this place too. Very Japanese, they tried it to perfection. The pub is trying hard to look as Irish/American as can be and is doing a very good job. The bartenders know over 200 cocktails and the “financial damage” per drink hovers around Yen1,000. Basic food, pasta, pizza and snacks are also available. Unique about the bar is its size, which can be classed as rather large in the area of Bashamichi, Kannai, where small, tiny sized bars are common. There is no live band, but the music jamming out of the speaker systems throughout the bar is Jazz and the bar itself is very quiet and emphasis is placed on enjoying your drink. Hogshead proud sales pitch is the long bar counter with the respectful collection of whiskeys, brandies and other alcoholic delicacies proudly shelved behind it. The bar itself accepts reservations for larger groupings under (045) 641-4746.

 * Benny's Place, Ishikawacho 1-25 Mitsubo Bldg. 2F, tel 045-671-0818 (just off the big intersection in Motomachi).

And the biggest hamburgers served this side of the Pacific.

 * Oriental Café, 2-16-4 Minamisaiwai, Nishi-ku, is a small sized diner which plays continuously house music and the interior décor is in line with the music it plays. For an easy night out and on budget (in this country being less than US$100.00) this place is rather attractive with its unique décor, its simple menu and plain but basic selection of beers, cocktails and wines. Tel: (045) 311-4640. Access, Yokohama Station plus 10 to 15 minute walk along the Shintama River, diagonally across the “Hamabowl” Bowling hall.

Only ten minutes away it is an ideal place to stay with mediocre quality whilst saving money. The Prince Hotel is one of the largest chains of hotels in Japan, run by the behemoth company Seibu. Foreigners registering with the homepage member area enjoy additional reductions, but only if you register and apply PRIOR to arriving in the country. Prices range between ¥11,000 and ¥19,000, depending on room class and number of people.

Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help out with your time here. We're just taking baby steps in working with people in the CVB area, and it'd be great to get some of your feedback on/participation in our Project:Tourist Bureau Expedition. --(WT-en) Evan 13:06, 26 January 2007 (EST)

Thanks for the welcome
I'm not sure if I should put this response on my talk page or yours? I think you have a great product and I would love to help out in any way that I can.

How do I participate in the Tourist Bureau expedition? I think it would be a tremendous benefit for CVB people (and regional and state tourism offices) to work with you. And a huge benefit for Wikivoyage as well. But you would have to heavily police the tourism people. They are programmed to expunge anything that has even the slightest hint of negativity. And if you got them all on Wikivoyage you might wind up reverting pages all day long.

That said, I would love to help get you together with that audience. I will even offer myself and my state as an experiment if you want to try out anything. And if you need anyone to host any smaller Wikivoyage meetings or start mini-Wikivoyage trips, please consider this an invitation to come to North Carolina.

Welcome to Wikivoyage. Please take a sec to look at our copyleft and policies and guidelines, but feel free to plunge forward and edit some pages. Scanning the Manual of style, especially the article templates, can give you a good idea of how we like articles formatted. If you need help, check out Project:Help, and if you need some info not on there, post a message in the travellers' pub.

Thank you for your contributions. However, I notice all your edits have been minor. Please uncheck the minor edit checkbox if you are adding content or changing meanings. Minor edits should be reserved for spelling mistakes, format and layout changes, links and the like, where the meaning of the article is not changed. -- (WT-en) Huttite 15:46, 27 Dec 2004 (EST)

 * Thanks. I assumed that minor are just changes that are not major. I'll try to remember to comply. (WT-en) Wojsyl 16:44, 27 Dec 2004 (EST) Oops, did this again :-)

Image Copyrights
Hi, you're doing a great job! Could you please label your uploaded images with copyright information (see Project:Image policy). This helps us to ensure that all images on Wikivoyage have been legally uploaded. You can just go to the image pages and hit 'edit' to add the information. Checkout Image:Mammoth Mountain.jpg for an example of how the copyright can be expressed if you took the picture yourself. -- (WT-en) Colin 22:54, 28 Dec 2004 (EST)

 * Good, will do. I only post pictures that I took myself, but I'll make it clear. (WT-en) Wojsyl 05:41, 29 Dec 2004 (EST)

Articles
Before you create the article for Filiremos monastary, please ask yourself the question, How many accommodation places can a traveller choose between to stay there overnight? If you cannot answer and list a lot more than one then please read Project:What is an article?. -- (WT-en) Huttite 19:15, 31 Dec 2004 (EST)

Image usage in articles
Please have a look at Project:Image_policy. While your enthusiasim for writing articles is greatly welcome, please try and confine yourself to one, (at most two), image per article. For example: Rhodes has 4 images, the second two, of donkeys and town of Lindos would be better in the Lindos article. -- (WT-en) Huttite 19:31, 31 Dec 2004 (EST)

 * Thanks. Although I do not sympathise with the rationale behind this particular policy, I usually try not to post more than 2 images per article and I'm trying to use only images specifically illustrating the subject of the article. The pics of the donkeys etc. that you mention were not mine and I agree that although donkeys may be nice, they don't necessarily look very different in any particular location. (WT-en) Wojsyl 20:38, 31 Dec 2004 (EST)

Contractions
I notice you have a habit of typing there're and there's instead of there are and there is. To help us find these contractions I have added them to the Project:List of common misspellings, which is used by the spell checker. -- (WT-en) Huttite 20:35, 31 Dec 2004 (EST)

 * I will try to avoid contractions then, but out of curiosity: what is the reason for that ? The seem shorter and easier to read. (WT-en) Wojsyl 20:45, 31 Dec 2004 (EST)

 * Professional looking English. Please remember some of our readers (eg computer translators) are not native English speakers and may be confused by unusual or ambiguous contractions. And if I do not correct it someone else will. -- (WT-en) Huttite 21:03, 31 Dec 2004 (EST)

 * Sure, I do not mind. Thanks for your patience :-) and happy new year. (WT-en) Wojsyl 21:07, 31 Dec 2004 (EST)

Bodies of water - Links to Rhine
I noticed that you linked Schaffhausen to Rhine. I assume that this is the river Rhine. Please read Project:Bodies of water before creating, or even inserting linking to a potential article about a river. Unless there is a very good reason for making the river a destination - i.e. can you sleep there - it would be better not to have the link. -- (WT-en) Huttite 07:10, 1 Jan 2005 (EST)

Baltic
I am not creating the mess with Baltic Sea and other Baltic articles, nor am I confusing Eastern/Northern Europe and the Baltics. I see the Baltic countries as a legitimate region in Europe. Quite how they are shoehorned into the larger articles of Eastern Europe, Central Europe and Northern Europe is something that has to be worked out. The Baltic is a body of water that touches on all those articles so should refer to all of them. I do not see it as a confusion but a clarification and a mutiplicity of views. The promugation of such alternative views appear to have been curtailed by the activities of a previous editor who has suppressed these articles before. In many respects I am undoing the activities of a revisionist historian and adding richness to the subject of Europe. -- (WT-en) Huttite 17:43, 5 Feb 2005 (EST)

Schaffhausen
Hello Wojsyl, the photo you show from Schaffhausen is actually from Feuerthalen, the neighbour village... May I send you some photos from Schaffhausen (I don't know how to upload them)?

Would you care to explain edit? Thanks.

Bamboo bridge photo
Hi Woodstock, I took and have the rights to the photo so I figured it would be ok to post it. I could use a similar one of the same spot that has not been used on a web site? It's a beautiful spot I photographed on both the trips I made to Luang Prabang last year.

Sort of wondering why you took exception to a scenic shot when there is a piece of blatant advertising lifted strait from the site that it is right beside, in saffron caffe entry just above? But yes it is my first wiki edit so am interested if not also clumsy.

Meredith

more on pics
Hi Woodstock, I have up loaded another photo that I have never given for use else where.

Q. Couldn't see anything in the guidelines about not contributing to an entry if you know the people concerned, which seems to be what you are questioning. Perhaps you know the owner ? Perhaps the web site should be removed ? I'll find out Woodstock.) I read about touting etc.

I have no idea who did the original entry for the last dreamers, but yes I am the mother of the said young Australian who owns the guesthouse. The copyright has now been removed from the whole web site for the last dreamers, seemed like the easiest way to avoid problems. The site is hosted here in Australia rather than Lao.

Thank you for pasting the intro links for new users I have nowspent quite a bit of time reading it and obviously it takes time to learn it all!

Q. It looks to me that the policy for deleting an image is that you nominating an image for deletion and on the spot deletion should only be done by an administrator, is this correct?

Although I can now see that the copyright was not within the policy guidelines, so understand. I had a look at some of your recent editing and it looks like what you are doing is a valuable contribution. Being newly acquainted with Wikivoyage and a keen traverler, the whole thing is an exciting project. so thanks.

 * Please read Project:Don't tout. As that guideline indicates, if you replace another listing with your own or move your listing to the top then it will likely be removed.  Also, if you add a listing that is not in English it will definitely be removed as this is the English version of Wikivoyage - other language versions of the site are available for contributions in languages other than English. -- Ryan • (talk) • 20:34, 21 February 2012 (EST)

Ryan I believe that one of my competitors had deleted my listing and then replaced my listing with their own (Amazon Expeditions).

Can you give me the authorization to put my listing back on top? or can you do this for me please? —The preceding comment was added by (WT-en) ManitiExpeditions (talk • contribs)

 * Since your interest in Wikivoyage seems to be primarily motivated by a desire to market a specific company you will find the answer to most of your questions in Wikivoyage's guidelines on marketing.

Craiqzkriz
Hi Ryan, somehow the block of Craiqzkriz doesn't work. Do you have know why? (WT-en) Jc8136 04:16, 16 March 2012 (EDT)

 * What do you mean by "doesn't work"? A blocked user won't be able to edit or move any pages, with the one exception of their own talk page.  If a blocked spambot spams its talk page multiple times I usually protect the talk page from further edits with a note indicating it was protected due to ongoing spam. -- Ryan • (talk) • 10:57, 16 March 2012 (EDT)

Infinite duration blocks
My concern with the policy for infinite blocks is that most administrators are not unchecking the "Automatically block the last IP address used by this user" option – and since most of the spambots are not on long-term fixed connections, that's effectively putting in an infinite block on whatever unfortunate innocent user might get that address in the future. I've certainly set anonymous IP address blocks where a review of the edit history shows a spammer/vandal in 2012, but then a few legitimate contributions to something utterly unrelated in 2008, and I would prefer to avoid blocking legitimate would-be contributors when that order is reversed.

Since temporarily blocking a spammer's address is genuinely useful, and since I've seen very few spambot accounts come back for more later (only the ones that try recreating their User_talk: pages, I think), a generic three-month block with the IP address blocking turned on seems like a good compromise. Infinite blocks, to me, are only ever a valid option with "block last IP" turned off. — (WT-en) D. Guillaime 19:34, 17 March 2012 (EDT)

 * Inas did some testing on this and it looks like the underlying IP is not being permanently blocked - see the thread at Project:Travellers' pub. -- Ryan • (talk) • 19:41, 17 March 2012 (EDT)

 * Oh, that's good to know. Objection withdrawn!  — (WT-en) D. Guillaime 19:56, 17 March 2012 (EDT)

User talk:212.121.219.1
Hi Ryan, i have seen your comments above and was thinking about to start the empty skeletons. It's an UK IP address with someone trying to reshape our Pakistan structure. Shall we block him for one day to get his attention and start the cleaning process? (WT-en) Jc8136 11:27, 27 March 2012 (EDT)

 * I've tried 10 minutes blocks during times that he/she was editing with a pointer to User talk:212.121.219.1 without any result. It seems like either the user is ignoring the talk page messages or isn't comfortable with English, and if that's the case then I'm not sure if a longer block would help.  I'm stumped on what to do here - the user has obviously put in some effort, but that effort is just creating additional work for everyone else who contributes to this site.  If you've got additional ideas they would be appreciated! -- Ryan • (talk) • 11:39, 27 March 2012 (EDT)
 * I worked over Pakistan articles and edits for the last couple years (see the talk page of the main article and the Stay safe issues...) Usually its guys in the UK or Pakistan trying to improve and don't understand our policy. Usually a longer block with a clear message/link helped to engage. Nevertheless we need to start the clean-up, otherwise inexperienced user start to use the newly created articles and then it gets messy! (WT-en) Jc8136 11:48, 27 March 2012 (EDT)

KK to Brunei in a day Merge
Why did you request that Kota Kinabalu to Brunei in a day be merged with Malaysia? It refers to a specific route in a very specific part of Malaysia and does not make sense as a part of the overall country page.

Anand Ashram
Hi Ryan, I am very unconvinced concerning this content introduced into the Bali article. I have edited the recent reinstatement of the content however I note it was previously removed and has returned, still with a touty emphasis. I have not seen the publication so it is difficult to assess the appropriateness of the content in a travellers context. I have left a note on Ikan's talk page as well as I know he has also been working on some corrective edits associated with Anand Ashram and (WT-en) Anand Ashram's previous contributions. I am also a little curious about Adisucipta and obviously the new contributions in the reading section of the Bali article raises the question of who Adisucipta and Anand Ashram are, and if indeed they are the same contributor. Both IK and I have left a note on Anand Ashram's talk page, doesn't seem to have had much effect though. I have also recently been editing Anand Ashram content in the Jakarta, Ubud and Bogor articles. -- (WT-en) felix 08:17, 9 May 2012 (EDT)

 * It looked like an advertisement to me the first time I removed it - the book was published in 2010 as far as I can tell and is not available on Amazon, so it can't be a "must read". I've seen that ashram a few times before while patrolling, so it looks to me like a promotional addition. -- Ryan • (talk) • 10:45, 9 May 2012 (EDT)

Re:UNESCO
Thanks Ryan. I just noticed the page as well! Not off to a great start. It seems the "Al Qal'a of Beni Hammad" site in Algeria has been incorrectly placed near Bechar in the west of the country, when it is meant to be in the north, according to official information:. Also, do you know how the information about heritage sites are meant to be presented? The Expedition mentions creating articles for each site, although the Wikivoyage's policy is destination articles only. (WT-en)  J ames A    >talk 00:44, 29 May 2012 (EDT)

 * I don't think the expedition has seen attention in some time, although it was quite active for a while. As to how sights should be presented on Wikivoyage, Project:What is an article is probably the best guide - if a UNESCO site is an attraction such as the Statue of Liberty it should be added as a listing within the appropriate article, but if the site is a park or town (quick rule: can you sleep there) such as Yellowstone National Park then it definitely gets its own article.  For borderline cases you can always just start a discussion in the Pub or on the appropriate region article talk page. -- Ryan • (talk) • 00:58, 29 May 2012 (EDT)

 * Thanks for the guidance. Many of the sites are borderline, located in the middle of deserts with no signs of civilisation in sight. Instead of starting dozens of discussions, I'll resolve on placing them in the article of the closest settlement, even if it is 20km away. I also think that the articles that are about UNESCO sites (or have one in their "See" section) should include a small template. It could display a small UNESCO logo in the corner, to let readers know there is a UNESCO site at the destination, and also help with adding categories, further organising the articles. It's fairly minor, so I might just go ahead and add it as I clean up the articles. (WT-en)  J ames A    >talk 02:37, 29 May 2012 (EDT)

Jani's repetitive links
Jani has continued to post inappropriate links to the competing fork discussion, and has now added one to his personal blog at http://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Wikivoyage:Travellers%27_pub#Moving_to_Wikimedia. I'd like to remove those 3 links. Will you support?--(WT-en) IBobi talk email 13:38, 12 July 2012 (EDT)

 * I'm going to stay out of it. I'm personally uncomfortable with using Wikivoyage as a platform for discussing a fork (I think it's impolite towards IB), but at the same time the discussion is relevant to everyone who has volunteered thousands upon thousands of hours creating the site's content.  Additionally, there isn't any precedent for censoring discussions that are relevant to travel/Wikivoyage - the Project:External links policy is meant to discourage promotion but not discussion, so (for example) while a link to Tripadvisor is inappropriate in an article, it would not be inappropriate if discussing whether or not a description of that hotel was fair or not. -- Ryan • (talk) • 14:55, 12 July 2012 (EDT)
 * What about links to a user's personal blog?--(WT-en) IBobi talk email 15:13, 12 July 2012 (EDT)

 * I'd really prefer to stay out of this argument, as it seems like a conflict of corporate interest vs. community interest. If a fork is a bad idea then it should be simple to refute any suggestion that one be considered, but instead the focus seems to be more on killing any discussion of the matter, something I'm not at all comfortable with. -- Ryan • (talk) • 16:20, 12 July 2012 (EDT)
 * The area we're getting into is Wikivoyage project vs Wikivoyage site. They are distinct, but with massive overlap. The administrators of the project may see benefit in a discussion about moving elsewhere, but the site is under no obligation to host a discussion about harming itself. Until now, WT policy has been sufficient in most regards to govern both situations. It appears this may no longer be the case. I am not certain that project policy even applies in this case, as it has not been broached since WV, and then it was clearly not sufficiently investigated.--(WT-en) IBobi talk email 17:29, 12 July 2012 (EDT)

Hi Ryan,

Thanks, The helpful  one  19:21, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Since it was running, and since you've noted that it runs elsewhere on Wikipedia, and furthermore since the site is in dire need of a lot of simple cleanups I've flagged it as a bot, but I've also noted it at Script nominations so that anyone who wishes to can raise any concerns. At the old site bots tended not to be used extensively for legacy reasons, but now that Wikivoyage is running on an up-to-date Mediawiki version I suspect that our script approval processes will need to be modernized. -- Ryan • (talk) • 19:25, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
