Alaska/Australia Connection?
Hi Arcae!

I'm curious about your dual interest in Alaska and Australia. I'm an Anchorage resident, and I'm traveling to Sydney and Cairns with a touring choir in June (we'll be performing in the Sydney Opera House), so I find it interesting that I run into someone on here who's got one foot in each place!

Upload images to Wikivoyage Shared!
Hi. In future could you please upload images to Wikivoyage Shared (our shared image repository)? That way people from different language versions can use them, and we can use theirs. It's dead easy to do, just click on the link on the right hand side to take you to Wikivoyage Shared, and then just sign in (you might have to create an account on there as well as your one on here.) Uploading is the same process as here - just follow the onscreen instructions. It would be great if you could re upload Image:Philae.jpg onto there, because it's a very good picture! Aswan is looking good!(WT-en) Tim 01:16, 18 August 2006 (EDT)

Thanks
Thanks Tim, will do, still learning the ropes :)

 * No probs. Just had a look and there's a few more images from Aswan up there - if you want to add them, just use the same process as you would for a file on the local Wikivoyage version. If there are two files with the same name (ie one in shared, one in english) the one in english gets priority. (WT-en) Tim 01:29, 18 August 2006 (EDT)

Well they aren't mine, but I don't mind uploading them if I get a chance, I will be putting some more of mine in anyway.

 * It doesn't matter who put the photos up on wikivoyage, if they have been uploaded they are for using in articles, so don't feel like you can only put yours in. Some people upload pictures but just don't put them into the articles. However, if you don't feel like they would add anything to the article then dont put them in. Little tip: if you want to sign at the end of your posts in future, just type ~ and it puts the whole name and time thing up. Makes it a heck of a lot easier! (WT-en) Tim 01:39, 18 August 2006 (EDT)

 * I'll assume you accidentally uploaded that image to wikivoyage english! Image:AswanNile.jpg should have been uploaded to wikivoyage shared. In future, please upload photos just to wikivoyage shared - they still work fine on here. (WT-en) Tim 01:42, 18 August 2006 (EDT)

Woops, thought I had to do both, thats a hell of a lot easier! (WT-en) Arcane 01:43, 18 August 2006 (EDT)

Question
We normally don't do articles for attractions like a temple, or monastery, however, we have made exceptions in the past, but to figure out what we should to with Philae I have a couple of questions.

Is the temple located on Agilkia Island? Two, is Agilkia Island a populated place and does the island have any other towns. What size is Agilkia Island? Thanks. -- (WT-en) Andrew Haggard (Sapphire) 02:20, 18 August 2006 (EDT)

 * Ahh that would explain why there isn't any really appropriate template. Have you thought about expanding to include attractions? I would think that potential travellers would love to be able to get more info without looking elsewhere, but perhaps you have good reason to not include them.
 * The temple is on Agilkia, however it is not populated, I would think the island is about 500mx500m - not particularly large.(WT-en) Arcane 02:24, 18 August 2006 (EDT)
 * We've done it very few times only when the attraction is the so large or important that it wouldn't properly fit into the closest destination guide. I created a Agilkia Island article and I'd appreciate if you could help move the information there, because it seems like that's the most appropriate place that the information regarding the template should be placed.  Thanks. -- (WT-en) Andrew Haggard (Sapphire) 02:29, 18 August 2006 (EDT)
 * Ok, I have seen what you have done, makes sense in the context of how you categorise things here. I'll try and work within the boundaries a little more effectively!(WT-en) Arcane 02:33, 18 August 2006 (EDT)

Thank you for contributing to Banff, Yoho National Park, Lake Louise, Rocky Mountains (Canada) and Field.

For the image you uploaded Waptafalls.jpg there are a couple of things that need to be looked at. First, you need to review the Image Policy and if you are the owner of the picture then indicate on the image page that you are the owner and are releasing it per CC Attribution-ShareAlike License Ver 1.0. Next, we don't normally upload pictures with people in them because of privacy rights. If we do, a model release is required. A general rule of thumb is that if an image contains a subject that is identifiable, a model release is needed.

Now, if you can not provide these. Then we will need to delete the picture. Don't worry about this, just us know and we can do it. You can add something here on your talk page. Please do stick around and help. Your help is very much appreciated and we want you to stay and help. Thanks. -- (WT-en) Tom Holland (xltel) 10:49, 3 March 2006 (EST)

Hello Aria.temple! Welcome to Wikivoyage.

To help get you started contributing, we've created a tips for new contributors page, full of helpful links about policies and guidelines and style, as well as some important information on copyleft and basic stuff like how to edit a page.

If you are a Wikipedian then you may notice some differences in policies and the style of our articles. These include:
 * NPOV → be fair (not quite the same thing!)
 * be bold → plunge forward
 * Village pump → travellers' pub
 * External links → We do not use a separate external links section, but incorporate primary links only into the text itself.
 * sandbox → graffiti wall
 * stub notes → Article status notes

If you need help, check out Project:Help, or post a message in the travellers' pub. Thanks for contributing! - (WT-en) Huttite 07:12, 18 March 2009 (EDT)

Comments
I notice you have made frequent contributions to Chestnut Hill recently. When editing a page have you considered using the preview option? If you preview, rather than saving every minor change you can get your article just right and only make one edit. - (WT-en) Huttite 07:12, 18 March 2009 (EDT)

Chestnut Hill
I have changed the title for Chestnut Hill from Chestnut hill because it was miscapitalised. Please also read our manual of style and in particular read Project:Article templates and Project:Listings. Your article has the basic look but not the real feel of our articles. Rather than simply bolding or emphasising text to create apparent section headings you need to use formal headings as detailed in the templates' boiler plate text examples. - (WT-en) Huttite 07:12, 18 March 2009 (EDT)

Copyright and copying from Wikipedia
I notice that the introduction for Chestnut Hill has been taken from the Wikipedia article. This is a copyright violation and even though you might edit the Wikipedia text, you need to attribute your derivative work. Unfortunately, Wikipedia's GFDL and Wikivoyage's CCbySA copyright licences are incompatable, which means your copy of the Wikipedia text is a copyright violation, and because you do not have the right to make a derivative work for Wikivoyage from the Wikipedia text any subsequent ammendment that still uses some of the copyrighted text is still a copyright violation. The only solution is a complete rewrite of the introduction that preserves the facts but not the copyrighted text. - (WT-en) Huttite 07:12, 18 March 2009 (EDT)

Hello! Regarding this comment, please understand that wikis are collaborative tools, so any changes you make will be reviewed and potentially updated by others. If you would like to create a page that others will be unlikely to modify, consider creating a Project:User page help where you can work without review and input from the Wikivoyage community. Note, however, that working in a sandbox somewhat defeats the purpose of using a wiki as you will no longer be collaborating with or retrieving feedback from the larger community. -- (WT-en) Ryan • (talk) • 21:49, 1 November 2009 (EST)

 * Hello - I've left some comments on Talk:Monticello (Illinois) regarding your edits. The article is much improved since you started working on it, but there are some concerns about the way it is being formatted and the images being used that could be quickly resolved if you could read the guidlines linked from the article's talk page.  Thanks for your contributions! -- (WT-en) Ryan • (talk) • 01:33, 3 November 2009 (EST)

Images
Please don't upload pictures here, but on our shared server, as it does say in pretty big letters across the upload screen. Also you need to specify license information for any images you upload, regardless if they are only used in a sandbox - or we will have to delete them, there is more information on our copyleft page. This may all seem trivial, tedious and unnecessary to you, but it is indeed critical for the survival for a project like ours that copyrights are respected. --(WT-en) Stefan (sertmann) talk 17:01, 16 November 2009 (EST)

 * Again, given the GIANT warning on the upload page that you SHOULD NOT upload here, it's very strange that you continue to do so. Additionally, given that there are concerns about the copyright of images that you have uploaded, anything uploaded to English Wikivoyage will most likely be deleted immediately, so please stop uploading content here.  In addition, please respond when people leave you comments on your talk page so that we know you have read them and understand. -- (WT-en) Ryan • (talk) • 11:01, 18 November 2009 (EST)

Since you are making some changes to the districts structure, would you please document exactly what you are doing on the talk page, and make sure that 1) the hierarchy will have neither gaps nor overlap, and 2) the districts will have clearly defined boundaries. Also, it looks like this page got lost in the cleanup—did you mean to make that a redirect? --(WT-en) Peter Talk 08:39, 18 July 2009 (EDT)

 * There's no need to deleete the article, it should just be redirected to the appropriate district. That is, the neighborhood should be covered, if not given its own district. Take a look at Chicago/Far Northwest Side—there are a ton of neighborhoods covered in that article that would not merit individual articles. You can make a redirect by typing #REDIRECT Tel Aviv/Appropriate district name . Hope that helps!  --(WT-en) Peter Talk 09:39, 30 July 2009 (EDT)

Hello, and Welcome to Wikivoyage. Thanks for your contributions to Canterbury (New Zealand). I read your contribution for Howards'_Hut_and_Lake_Grace and I'm not sure it qualifies for its own article. Is there a region that the information could fit in, possibility it could go in the Arthur's Pass National Park article.

Hi Troy!

Welcome to Wikivoyage. I would recommend to start with our Tips for new contributors if you feel like it. To specialize your experience you may want to consider editing your preferences. Please take a second 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're new to the whole wiki software look at the wiki markup to get an idea of how to use the wiki markup.

Make sure you check out What is an article? because it looks like a few of the State parks in AZ you've listed might not pass the "Can you sleep there?" test. If there are no hotels, campgrounds, hostels, etc., that information goes in the closest city. For example, Yuma Territorial Prison State Historic Park would go in the Yuma article.

I'm excited that the Arizona article is getting some work - I'm taking a road trip this summer and will be spending a few days there.

If you need help, check out Project:Help, and if you need some info not on there, post a message in the travellers' pub. Once again, Welcome!-- (WT-en) Fastestdogever 20:34, 18 April 2007 (EDT)

 * Hey Fastestdogever, thanks for the welcome. I appreciate all of the links and I have looked through a lot of those policies, guidelines and how to pages...but as you know, there is a lot of info, so I will do my best for a rookie.

 * Thanks for the info about the state parks. Feel free to adjust any of my postings.

 * I agree, we are excited to add any info we can to the Arizona page. Wikivoyage is a great resource for travelers and we want to make sure they have as much info as possible.

 * Thanks!
 * (WT-en) ArizonaTourism 21:15, 18 April 2007 (EDT)

I'll second Stacy's welcome (and also remarks about the state parks -- some redirects possibly coming), and would like to add that your opinions on the restructuring of the Arizona regional hierarchy would be most welcome. I live one state east of you, had a kid in college at ASU recently, and believe myself to know enough about Arizona to have an informed opinion of how things might look. However, your position is better yet, from the standpoint of informed opinions, so let's hear 'em! -- (WT-en) Bill-on-the-Hill 10:48, 20 April 2007 (EDT)

 * Thanks Bill, I appreciate that. Glad to have a bunch of people so informed on Arizona working on the page.  The region question is  certainly the big one right now, hopefully between all of us we can figure out the best way to list them.  And like I told Stacy, please feel free to send me your advice and make changes to the page...I have been lucky enough to have traveled a lot of the state, but there are always more places to learn about.

Thanks for all of the good additions to Big Bend National Park! -- (WT-en) Ryan • (talk) • 09:59, 26 March 2009 (EDT)

 * From me too—really great work! And sorry if my comment regarding travel topic categories came off as harsh ;) --(WT-en) Peter Talk 17:30, 28 March 2009 (EDT)

Big Bend
Hey I know you are still working on Big Bend, but I thought I'd mention that it's nearly up to Destination of the Month standards. To prepare for a successful nomination, I think it would just need a stay safe section + 3-4 more photos. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 03:46, 12 April 2009 (EDT)

 * Wikipedia (more precisely, Wikimedia Commons) is usually a good plpace to get images, as is Flickr . Not all images at either site are compatible with our license, but a lot are. Copyleft is where you can read up on what types of licenses are allowed, but the short answer is that we can use any file that has one of the licenses in the pulldown menu at wts:special:upload.

 * The one license at Wikipedia that you'll run across that we can't use here is GNU FDL, although if it is cross licensed with a Creative Commons license, then we can use it. So we can't use commons:File:Bbnp the window.jpg, but we can use commons:File:Waving to the Sky.jpg or Public Domain images like this one. For Flickr searches, use advanced search and check all three boxes in the Creative Commons section to restrict the search to only those images licensed under CC Attribution 2.0 and CC Attribution-ShareAlike 2.0.

 * As for user talk pages, both methods are used and are perfectly acceptable. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 22:37, 12 April 2009 (EDT)

 * Oops! I somehow overlooked the fact that the understand section is empty—that too, of course, would need to be filled out for a successful dotm nomination ;) --(WT-en) Peter Talk 19:41, 15 April 2009 (EDT)

 * Oh yes, I plan on expanding all sections before I dust my hands and call it quits : ) (WT-en) Army of me 22:10, 15 April 2009 (EDT)

Big Bend maps
Hey John, I just added the big NPS overview map, but was wondering if you thought any more of these would be worth converting to PNGs and displaying in the article. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 03:26, 14 May 2009 (EDT)
 * Thanks for doing that; that one is very complete and detailed. For that reason, I think the rest are probably not needed - maps are given to visitors free at the park entrances and the more detailed maps are readily available at trail-heads and visitor centers for people who need that something extra; the one you posted is excellent for people who want the grand overview, though. Actually, one map that could be helpful is the "Area Map" one since getting to Big Bend is sort of an adventure by itself, what with the remoteness and all. I feel comfortable leaving it to your judgment. (WT-en) Army of me 17:57, 17 May 2009 (EDT)

 * I threw together a Wikivoyage-style area map—let me know if there is anything else that should be on it. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 03:14, 4 June 2009 (EDT)

 * It looks very good, thanks for doing that! If anything else springs to mind, I'll be sure to let you know. (WT-en) Army of me 19:41, 4 June 2009 (EDT)

Possible nominations
Let me know when you feel comfortable enough with the article to nominate it for destination of the month. And you'd know better than me whether it's complete, but from my view only the incomplete "See" section stands in the way of a successful star nomination! (That and a need for ever more images to break up all that text.) --(WT-en) Peter Talk 03:14, 4 June 2009 (EDT)
 * Wow, thanks a lot. Doing this article has taken waaaay longer than I first imagined, but I'm glad I did it. Yes, I am still working on the "See" section as you've probably surmised, after that, it would be *technically* done but I think afterward I'd like to go back over everything to be sure it's cohesive and trim the fat where possible. Also, I've been wondering lately if it's too big... I would hate if the size discouraged readers or made it a bear to load on less-agile electronics or what have you. (WT-en) Army of me 19:41, 4 June 2009 (EDT)

 * I actually think the size is just about right. Chicago's business district is a considerably smaller area, but has an article for itself of about the same size. It looks a lot shorter though, and I think that's because of the pictures—it has 12 while BBNP only has 6. I think the article would look a lot prettier with an extra 5-6. If you are going to trim anything, I'd recommend perhaps looking at how to re-write parts of the understand & stay safe sections to condense the existing information (all of which is good). But generally, I think the level of depth in the article is fantastic—I hope I'll be lucky enough to get to use it in the not-to-distant future. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 21:01, 4 June 2009 (EDT)

 * Thanks and thanks again! I'm basically trying to write the kind of guide I would like to read... I prefer more detail rather than less - and if even one other person finds something useful here or has their interest piqued from reading it, I will be a happy camper.
 * I was actually eying those very sections you mentioned! They do seem to stand out as being a bit dense (plus, once the "See" section is finished it will have expanded the page even more, so I'll definitely be looking to trim certain areas where possible). And the extra pictures sounds like a very good idea; I'll be keeping my eye out for more. (WT-en) Army of me 01:05, 9 June 2009 (EDT)
 * I think I'm done writing the article. With the few images I added and the great maps you provided, I feel like the article is more balanced with images, but I'd consider adding more if warranted. (WT-en) Army of me 14:02, 28 June 2009 (EDT)

 * The only thing I can think of to improve the article further would still be a couple more photos ;) But other than that it looks just about perfect—I don't think there's a better park article on the site! It's without question good enough for a Dotm nomination, and I'd say it's ready even for a star nomination. Please go ahead and make the nominations!  --(WT-en) Peter Talk 20:16, 28 June 2009 (EDT)

 * Thanks! Will do on the noms. Meanwhile -- in your opinion, is there a certain area in the article where you think a photo would improve it? I could really use the help. (WT-en) Army of me 00:23, 30 June 2009 (EDT)

 * The photos are already pretty well spread out throughout the article—adding more would probably mean you'd have to reshuffle them a bit to keep the even spread. In general, I think it's best to have them more dense towards the top of the article, less dense towards the end. I'd even think about adding one right under the landscape header. --Peter 00:31, 30 June 2009 (EDT)

Hello ArthurDent! 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.

Taking some time out from compiling the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy to contribute here, I see... Unfortunately your contribution about Earth being Mostly harmless is a copyright violation of the entry for Earth in that esteemed publication. Please check Project:Copyright details; a short quote should contain much less than half the words from the original, otherwise we risk breeching the Fair use criteria. -- (WT-en) Huttite 06:22, 14 Apr 2004 (EDT)

 * Huttie, please, that is not a copyright violation. Even though IANAL, I seriously doubt you can claim copyright on two words. Besides, there should not be an "Earth" article anyway. It's redundant, and Earth is not a tourist location (ie. there is no way people can travel to Earth because they all originate on Earth. You don't call "going home" "tourism"). -- (WT-en) Nils 07:29, 14 Apr 2004 (EDT)

 * I merely want to avoid disputes with intergalactic publishing houses that publish intergalactic travel guides. Is using the whole entry from another guide Fair use? Probably not, even if the entry is only 2 words. -- (WT-en) Huttite 08:58, 14 Apr 2004 (EDT)

 * This is exactly why we don't have joke pages. Thank you, I wasted time on this now. -- (WT-en) Nils 09:25, 14 Apr 2004 (EDT)

Hello Articleuk! Welcome to Wikivoyage.

To help get you started contributing, we've created a tips for new contributors page, full of helpful links about policies and guidelines and style, as well as some important information on copyleft and basic stuff like how to edit a page. If you need help, check out Project:Help, or post a message in the travellers' pub.

I presume you have some connection to YHA Mount Cook? I've tidied up your listing a bit, please take a look at Project:Welcome, business owners and introduce yourself on your User page. (WT-en) Jpatokal 05:04, 8 December 2008 (EST)

RE: Hostel Listing
Yes, My name is Jason Neave. I currently manage the youth hostel in Mt Cook Village for the Youth Hostel Association of New Zealand, which is part of the International Youth Hostel Federation.

Yes, I noticed that most of the edits I had put in had been removed from the page. Can you explain the rationale behind these changes ?

___________________________________

Jpatokal reverted your edits, but I'll explain a bit. Wikivoyage has a policy to not tout. We believe that any "sleep" listing should be short and only mention a handful of things and be no more than two lines (and that's a stretch). We are not an advertising brochure. As he recommended, please read Project:Welcome, business owners. If every business did as you did, articles would be incredibly long and cluttered. Please don't take me as being rude, I'm sure you want to promote your hostel and we don't have a problem with listing it...it's just that we can't have excessive prose and touting. Phrases like "the perfect base" violate our fairness policy. Also, I should note that there is a "hotels" template at the bottom of the page (when editing) in blue...put information inside the quotation marks and any prose between the "><" before " ". From your first edit, I would recommend something like:

 * Can arrange for local activities; full kitchens/BBQ area; linens included.

Information can be in list form not separate paragraphs like you had. I got the website url from the YHA-NZ website...if you provide a website, users will likely click it and see what all you have to offer. Information about what there is to do belong in the context of the article (as in the "see" and "do" sections). Since such info belongs in these sections, there is no need to put it in your hostel listing. Please share your knowledge of the area in appropriate articles. As Wikivoyage continues to grow, more people will be exploring all the wonderful articles we have. If you make the Aoraki Mount Cook National Park article attractive enough, readers will want to visit and you could get more visitors. Again, I'm not trying to be rude, we just have policies on Wikivoyage that keep things fair and reduce clutter. I hope you can understand. (WT-en) AHeneen 07:16, 9 December 2008 (EST)

Ok, seems fair enough, i'll follow your lead and make sure that the article is fair .. we'll work together to get an unbiased article.

 * With reference to Kerala, I made most of the changes that you just reverted. Please note:
 * Wikivoyage has standard section headings, and they are always in the same order. Please do not change them. As well as the links I have given above, you will find it helpful to read this about standardised articles.
 * There are number of style issues, including the city descriptions which must be pithy one liners and not long blocks of text.
 * Region articles should contain a brief overview of the nature of the region and be light on specific details. All details of attractions etc should go into the relevant city articles.

 * If you wish to discuss any of this, please do so, preferably on the Kerala talk page. Cheers. --(WT-en) Burmesedays 08:42, 7 March 2010 (EST)

Kerala
It seems the content of Kerala is copied out from another site, According to Wikivoyage's policy, texts from other sites are prohibited as they are copyrighted unless they are released into public domain or either you have the consent of the author. -(WT-en) SnappyHip

 * Sorry for accusations. Please try to keep your edits simplified, country articles aren't even that so long. - (WT-en) SnappyHip 20:53, 7 March 2010 (GST)

OK, there are 3 of us who have tried to explain to you what is wrong with your additions to the Kerala page, but you insist on reverting them. This site has policy that defines what is suitable for where. I clearly stated on the Kerala talk page that listings of churches, mosques, temples, etc are NOT suitable for a Region (or in this case State) page. The listings you are putting here need to be added to the individual City pages. There is no negotiation on this, and your edits will continue to be reverted until they fall in line with site policy. If you continue to revert against teh site's policies you will find yourself becoming even more unpopular and possibly end up with a temporary ban. Of course, this is not something any of us want... We have tried to assist you to work out where you are going wrong and what you need to do for your contributions to be welcomed to the site. However, as it becomes more aparant you are either not listening to us, or just going ahead against what we are telling you, I cannot be responsible for the consequences down the road.

Please, for your sake as much as anyone else's, stop the continual reversals of edits to Kerala, read the advice you have been given and contribute in a way that we can all appreciate. (WT-en) Nrms 12:01, 8 March 2010 (EST)

 * To reiterate what has already been said here, bulk imports of text from other sites are not formatted to fit Wikivoyage's needs, and ultimately will likely be deleted. I would encourage you to import the text to your (WT-en) personal sandbox so that you could experiment there, and then introduce your content once you have it sorted out. Otherwise, your additions will not last. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 01:29, 9 March 2010 (EST)

Images
Hi there. Can you please give us a run down on the sources of the images you have uploaded please? This one for example appears to come from Lonely Planet. All images at Wikivoyage must comply with our copyleft licence. If you own the images, and are granting a Creative Commons Licence on them, then no problem. Otherwise it is likely that they will not comply. Thank very much.--(WT-en) Burmesedays 05:48, 10 March 2010 (EST)

Dear Burumesedays

This image is from Wikipedia, an image from Wikicommons- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Munnar_hillstation_kerala.jpg.

This is licensed to use in all wiki areas by the user. This is a free image and freely available on net. And I own this picture, with permission from its original user- Bimal K.C, a freelancer photographer and my friend, who has given permission to me.

All pictures currently in Kerala page, mostly belongs to wikicommons and used extensively in other wikipedia, thereby licensed use in Wikivoyage

Thanks-Arunvarmaother

 * Thank you very much for that clarification. It is clearly a professional shot and used at Lonely Planet, hence the inquiry. One thing, please do not assume that all images at Commons can be used at Wikivoyage. Many (even most) cannot as they are GFDL licenced. For the full scope on why early GFDL licences are not compatible with Wikivoyage, read here. All images uploaded here must be either public domain or have a Creative Commons licence compliant with our Copyleft.  Wikivoyage is not a Wikimedia Foundation project. Thanks again.--(WT-en) Burmesedays 07:58, 10 March 2010 (EST)

 * Also, please can you include a source when you upload an image, as per the instructions on the upload screen. For example, this one has no source and therefore we have no idea where it came from. If it comes from Commons please use the url as the source. If you own it, please state own work as the source. Please do this for all your image uploads as routine. Thanks.--(WT-en) Burmesedays 08:14, 10 March 2010 (EST)

Yes thanks for that information. I will try to indicate source, from now onwards. Most of the images I have uploaded are from Wikicommons. Thanks for that information, as I was under impression that Wikivoyage is part of Wikimedia project. Anyhow, I will ensure that such source information will be added

Regards-Arunvarmaother

 * I suspect that is a common misconception :). Please could you go to each of the images you have already uploaded at Shared and use the edit dialogue to enter the source. If you don't, I know they will be challenged. All images must have a source. Thanks again. --(WT-en) Burmesedays 08:34, 10 March 2010 (EST)

Kay next time please put the link where you have taken the picture because it has confused us. Have a nice evening. -(WT-en) SnappyHipCaesarSaladChallenges 20:46, 10 March 2010 (GST)

I've only just started contributing...previously I only visited. Unfortunately one of my early contributions was deleted. It was a link to an amazing web site <!----.. It has aerial video of the Blue Mountains (which is where I live) so when I saw it I thought "hey I should put that on wiki travel" .....but it seems some people think it doesn't fit the guidelines (though that's a matter of interpretation) Have a look at the site and see what you think - My view is that when this sort of stuff is deemed as not appropriate we have something not quite right happening.

Ikebukuro practice page Ikebukuro (池袋) is a shopping district and major stop on the Yamanote Line. It is located in Tokyo's Toshima ward.

By train
Ikebukuro is served by the JR Yamanote, Saikyo and Shonan-Shinjuku lines. There is also Narita Express train and limousine bus service to and from Narita Airport. The Super View Odoriko (スーパービュー踊り子) Limited Express service departs each morning for Atami, Ito and Shimoda, and returns in the afternoon.

Two private railway lines start from Ikebukuro. The Seibu Ikebukuro Line has departures for Tokorozawa, Irumashi and Hanno, with Chichibu (ちちぶ) Limited Express trains running all the way to the national park in Chichibu. The Tobu Tojo Line runs trains to Kawagoe and Ogawamachi.

From Narita airport you can take the limousine/bus leaving every 1/2 hour (make reservation inside the airport) directly to the Sunshine City Prince Hotel, which is right next to the Sunshine 60 tower and shopping complex.

By subway
The Tokyo Metro Marunouchi Line starts here, and the Yurakucho Line for Ginza, Shin-Kiba and Wakoshi stops here. The Fukutoshin Line connects Ikebukuro to Shinjuku and Shibuya, paralleling the Yamanote Line.

Both the Yurakucho and Fukutoshin subway lines offer through-runs to the Seibu Ikebukuro and Tobu Tojo lines (at Kotake-Mukaihara and Wakoshi stations, respectively).

See

 * Sunshine 60 - At one point Sunshine 60 was the tallest building in Japan, and it remains the most prominent building within the Sunshine City complex. The surrounding Sunshine City complex includes shops, restaurants, an aquarium, and an observatory at the top of the Sunshine 60 building.
 * Toyota Amlux - A 5-story automotive showroom across the street from the Sunshine 60 building.
 * Nekobukuro - A unique shop on the top floor of the Tokyu Hands building where you pay 600 yen entry fee to enter and pet or play with the 20+ cats that live on the premises. The building is located at the end of Sunshine-60 dori.
 * Metropolitan Art Space - Located on the west side of the Ikebukuro train/subway station. Has the world's longest escalator and offers various exhibits and concerts.

Do

 *  - A statue of an owl near the east exit. Many people meet here.

 * The Namjatown has many attractions. Parents and their children, friends and a pair of lovers can enjoy.There have a kind of foods. Gyoza studium, ice cream city and dessert empire of Tokyo. These shops have a variety of district. Ticket booth has 2nd floor.

Buy

 *  - The Animate HQ store is right next door to K-Books, down the street from Mandarake, and across the highway from the Sunshine 60. Lots of new anime/manga-related merchandise.
 *  - Good selection of anime, manga, and posters. Next door to the Animate, down the block from Mandarake, across the highway from the Sunshine 60.
 *  - One of the newest in the Mandarake chain of used anime/manga goods stores, the Ikebukuro branch specializes in doujinshi, in particular doujinshi for girls.
 * Two of Tokyo's major department store/railroad conglomerate chains, Seibu and Tobu, are based in Ikebukuro and the stores here were not long ago the largest in the world. Paradoxically, Seibu, which roughly means "west Tokyo", is on the east side of the station, while Tobu, which means "east Tokyo", is on the west side.
 * Discount retailer Bic Camera has their flagship store on the east side of the station, with several branches nearby.
 * Junkudo is a 9-story bookstore (top floor has English titles). Leave the train station by the Seibu exit, turning right and go down the street a couple of blocks until you see the tall building with a "Sushi" sign flashing on top. Junkudo is located about half a block up from that building.

 * 7 story 'DIY' store with floors of kitchenware, bath accessories, paper goods, scrapbooking supplies, tools, hardware, exotic woods, travel supplies, toys, pet supplies, and Nekkobukuro on the top floor.

Eat

 * Urban Japanese keep their grocery stores beneath their department stores. If you go to the B1 and B2 levels of the massive stores flanking the Ikebukuro station, you will find endless acres of raw and prepared food.  Buy a bunch and take it back to your hotel fridge.
 * Down Sunshine-Dori on the way to Sunshine 60, on the left, there's a Shakey's Pizza. There are lunchtime buffets with great pizza the way only Japanese like to serve it.
 * Ghiottone, Nishi-Ikebukuro 3-27-1 (5 min. walk from west exit). Excellent pasta and salads, in portions that are ample for two. The crab spaghetti is very popular. No non-smoking tables.
 * Kaiten Sushi - a very nice "conveyor belt" sushi restaurant is located about 2 blocks from the Ikebukuro subway/train station. Take the Seibu exit, turn right and walk down the street. You will see a tall building on the left with a large flashing "Sushi" sign on top.
 * Malay-Chan is a small Malaysian restaurant on the west side of the train/subway station. It is a little hard to find. Locate the Metropolitan Art Space and the bus loop that services that area. Walk to the curve of the loop, cross the main street (Geikijo dori - map) there and walk up a little street that winds left, then right. Then walk about 2 blocks farther. There is also an Indian restaurant and a Thai restaurant (mekong) nearby.

Ramen
Go visit Mutekiya, located on the east side of Ikebukuro, opposite Junkudo Bookstore.

Cafes

 * New Orleans' Cafe du Monde has a branch right outside the west exit.
 * ZOZOI, Nishi-Ikebukuro 3-22-6 (5 min. from west exit). A cozy and quiet French-style cafe located next to a small park. Light meals are served, and there's an amusing collection of French books to browse.
 * ZAO, Nishi-Ikebukuro 1-18-1. This 24-hour basement coffee shop, with an interior that probably hasn't been changed since 1975, seems to be a favorite for smoking insomniacs and college students pulling all-nighters. You'll need to order something every two hours to hang around (and not fall asleep), but the toast and boiled eggs are free. If that's not enough, try the huge jumbo parfait (ice cream sundae), which is literally served in a fishbowl.

Budget

 * Kimi Ryokan, 2-36-8 Ikebukuro (8 min from JR Ikebukuro West Exit), tel. +81-3-3971-3766, . This friendly if very tourist-oriented minshuku (no, it's not a ryokan) is an excellent option for first time travelers to Tokyo. It is reasonably priced (4500 yen) and has English speaking staff. A nice way to spend your first night on Tatami!

Mid-Range

 * Crowne Plaza Metropolitan - Tokyo 1-6-1 Nishi-Ikebukuro, tel 03-3980-1111, fax 03-3980-5600. A short walk away from Ikebukuro station, a decent 4-star hotel with nice, clean rooms and friendly staff who mostly speak fluent English. Limosine bus services are available to both Narita and Haneda airports.
 * Dai-ichi Inn Ikebukuro 1-42-8 Higashi-Ikebukuro, tel 03-3986-1221, fax 03-3982-4128. A 1 minute walk from the station (take East Exit), right across from the back of Parco. In-room broadband internet, massage service, 24-hour convenience store, and many other amenities. TV channel list includes CNN. Some of the staff speak near-fluent English, others not so much. Internet reservations can greatly reduce room rates. Accepts all major credit cards.
 * Hotel Grand City, 1-30-7 Higashi-Ikebukuro, tel 03-3984-5121, fax 03-3984-5127 (5 minute walk towards Sunshine City). The staff doesn't speak English very well.

Get out

 * Hop on the Seibu line for the 1.5-hour trip to Chichibu-Tama-Kai National Park.

Welcome, Asbestos
Hello! Welcome to Wikivoyage. Thanks for plunging forward so far. If you're going to continue working on Wikivoyage, you may find the tips for new contributors helpful.

You should also make sure you understand our copyleft and policies and guidelines. Scanning the Manual of style, especially the article templates, can give you a good idea of how we like articles formatted.

Hello Ascairns!

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.

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 contributing to Cairns, Kuranda and Great Barrier Reef. However, please have a look at the Project:External links guidelines. Tour operators should be incorporated into the text, not listed as an extenal link as if they were the region's political administration. --(WT-en) Huttite 05:33, 28 Nov 2005 (EST)
