Dear Gorilla Jones, I just add My link as a external link to wikivoyage because I find many of other sites that do the same as mine "transfers". Sorry for that, I will respect your comment, but it will be good not to find others doing the same. Any way I did some contributions to the next page http://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Alvor and I'm very happy for that. Can you let me know how can I add my link as they have their ones???

Hi, I'm XiaJiTong, which stands for Xiamen-Jimei-Tong'an, three places where I spend most of my time. I like to travel alot, and when I have some free time I like to just go to take a bus to some distant place in the Xiamen region, and see how ordinary life is there.

My project is to create a series of articles for the places in the Xiamen region where there is almost no information right now. I have expanded the Jimei article, and plan to make articles for the other places.

Just write something here on my talk page if you want to say something; I'm always open to ideas and constructive criticism! :)

Greater Oklahoma City
I think the list of counties should stay, why do you think it should be removed? Are the correct counties listed? ~ 61.91.191.4 19:45, 31 March 2007 (EDT)
 * If someone feels a county in the Greater Oklahoma City is a useful destination, then it could be added as an article and a link provided. Tell me why you think a list of counties is useful to the traveler to this Oklahoma City area? I don't know of anyone that would be interested in visiting a county in the Oklahoma City area as a destination and the list would be more useful in a Wikipedia article, not Wikivoyage. I work there and I don't think I have heard any traveler ask about a "county" in the area. We are here for the traveler and not an Encyclopedia. But, that said, if you feel strongly that the is list is useful, I suggest you add comments on the talk page and we will see if we get a consensus. The one county that has been added to this region is only a template and useless for the traveler and they are sometimes useful for town and city place holders, but that is about it. As far as being correct the correct list, not really, the OKC region does not divide up by counties very well. I realize WP likes to do that, but it really doesn't work well that way.  -- (WT-en) Tom Holland (xltel) 20:04, 31 March 2007 (EDT)

 * Here's the list, plus four quick questions:
 * Canadian County
 * Cleveland County
 * Grady County
 * Lincoln County
 * Logan County
 * McClain County
 * Oklahoma County
 * Which of these counties are completely within the Greater Oklahoma City region?
 * Which of these counties lie completely outside of the Greater Oklahoma City region?
 * Are there any other counties which are completely or partially in the Greater Oklahoma City region?
 * And in the case of counties that are only partially in the Greater Oklahoma City region, please advise which other region(s) they are also in.
 * Thanks! ~ 61.91.191.10 12:25, 1 April 2007 (EDT)

Although such occurences are rare, and it is more likely to be challenged by a US citizen rather than a government official for anti-us comments, I do however think we need to mention something related to "not insulting America" --(WT-en) Korea dan 14:08, 1 October 2006 (EDT)

Isn't the isIn supposed to always be the "top" –  tag? ~ 203.144.143.9 23:45, 6 October 2006 (EDT)
 * No, sometimes the isIn does not work and moving it to the top helps, but it is not necessary.

So, I guess it didn't need to be "fixed", as it was working. -- (WT-en) Tom Holland (xltel) 23:52, 6 October 2006 (EDT)

Hi,

I'm not upset at all. I thought you were referring to the PATRIOT Act when you reference recent laws passed the have laxed the writ of habeas corpus in the U.S. on certain matters. I'm glad you started the discussion on that page and I in no way meant to be hostile toward you, but I wanted to demonstrate to "Dan" that Wikivoyage is not the place to discuss whatever political beef he has with U.S. foreign policy. Sorry if I came off like I was attacking you because I didn't mean to. -- (WT-en) Sapphire 16:53, 8 October 2006 (EDT)

Pole of Cold
Hey Tom, you do well to remove the copyvio from Pole of cold, yakutia, but be aware that the place itself is not the same thing as the North Pole. It's a region in Siberia that -- at least according to its press releases -- gets even colder weather than the geographic North Pole does. The redirect should probably be aimed to something other than the North Pole article, although to be honest, I'm not sure what. Either that, or just remove the copyvio language and leave the pointer in place. I'll work on it. -- (WT-en) Bill-on-the-Hill 17:29, 15 October 2006 (EDT)

Old Trafford
Hey there,

With the Old Trafford stadium work, it might be a better idea to move it to an "Old Trafford (district) area. That way, information about the cricket ground as well as other attractions could be listed. Manchester is a very large city, and adding all the Old Trafford stadium work might make the article very long. Old Trafford, a district of Manchester, would give a more precise location. What do you think? (WT-en) Victor Greenstreet 18:15, 22 October 2006 (EDT)

Pixelated Kudos

It seems like forever now that the recent changes page has shown your name next to fixes for orphaned articles, templates added to new articles, and discussions about what to do with questionable articles, so here's one of those barnstar thingies just to say thanks for doing all of the grungy work that the rest of us kind of hope someone else will take care of, in addition to all of the other good stuff you do around here. I don't know the appropriate "hillbilly grammer" for kudos, but you deserve it. -- (WT-en) Ryan 14:41, 28 October 2006 (EDT)

On a seperate note, thanks for catching Munich/Neuhausen.  I created the page, but I haven't any reason why and looking at the history I'm rather baffled why I didn't redirect it like you did.  Anyhow, thanks. -- (WT-en) Sapphire 20:57, 11 November 2006 (EST)

Oregon Nine
The reason I never trimmed Oregon to nine is because the subregions were not clearly defined so I was uncertain which subregion to move the cities to in order to avoid orphaning them. Could we talk at Talk:Oregon about the exact definition of the regions? Then after that, we can fix some of the items removed from Oregon to ensure they don't stay orphaned. -- (WT-en) Colin 21:13, 22 December 2006 (EST)

Talk:Prince George's County
I thought that vote only applied to whether or not to delete it. If I've violated policy, I'll put it back. Also, the discussion on the vfd was one "I don't object to deleting or redirecting this" (you), one keep & redirect (me) and one "Keep, at least for now".

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 contributing to Fort Smith. -- (WT-en) Huttite 09:31, 10 Dec 2005 (EST)

Vermont
Thanks for your work on Vermont - sorry if some of my copyedits conflicted with what you were doing. In addition, if any of the regions are incorrect please feel free to clean them up - the effort is much appreciated! -- (WT-en) Ryan 16:36, 15 Dec 2005 (EST)

 * In general we try to limit the number of top-level regions (see California for an example) and then sub-divide top-level regions as needed, so if Vermont has "a lot" it would be best to just limit the top-level regions to a handful. In regards to signing a post, just type four tildes ( ~ ) and your post is signed with name & timestamp.  Thanks again. -- (WT-en) Ryan 17:15, 15 Dec 2005 (EST)

 * That is what I figured. Vermont is a very small state and Vermont CofC shows eleven regions!! Thank you for your help, I hope my contributions will help. (WT-en) Xltel 17:21, 15 Dec 2005 (EST)

Missouri regions - renaming
I noticed you created new Missouri region pages instead of moving the page in order to rename it. If you use the Move tab, which should appear on the top of the page - (well, if you edit the page it definitely will) - you can change the article name and take all the page history already under the old title to go along with the new title. Since you are the only author of these pages this is not an attribution problem for these pages, but if there were multiple authors, it would be like you were taking credit for their work .... For this reason, moving the page is better than copying the page text from one article to another. Not a problem this time, but a quick tip for the next time you need to rename an article. -- (WT-en) Huttite 17:07, 10 Jan 2006 (EST)
 * Thanks for the tip. As you can see I am just learning, but I want to be a help and not a burden. Thank you for your help! (WT-en) Xltel 17:46, 10 Jan 2006 (EST)
 * Never a burden. I think of it as an investment. If your attention isn't drawn to these things when you first do it in an inefficient way then you will keep doing it that way. If I show you the best way to do it then it saves you time, it saves me time, and it saves everyone else time in the future, because things are done as we all expect them to be, not in a different way that we have to work our way through, and possibly fix, later. -- (WT-en) Huttite 04:27, 11 Jan 2006 (EST)
 * I agree totally.... Again, thank you for your help, direction and encouragement. (WT-en) Xltel 08:22, 11 Jan 2006 (EST)

Great job!
Thanks for working so hard on the Ozarks and surrounding parts of Oklahoma, Missouri and Arkansas. It's a part of Wikivoyage that needs some work, and I'm glad to see you're doing such a good job with it. --(WT-en) Evan 16:52, 12 Jan 2006 (EST)

Accommodations
Hey, I notice you are doing a lot of spelling clean-up of Wikivoyage at the moment. Keep it up! One of your changes, however, struck me as wrong at first, namely, the word "accommodations", made to the Tikal page.
 * Accommodations in and around the park is limited.

I am a native (Australian) English speaker and must admit that I do not recall ever hearing the word accommodation in plural form. So I went straight to Miriam-Webster's, the standard dictionary of American English I use at work, and low and behold to my surprise, I find that it states that the word is usually used in plural! Not sure if this is a American vs. British English difference. Anyway, if it is right that accommodation be used in the plural, then the verb should also take the plural form. That is, is should be changed to are. Cheers, (WT-en) Brendio 16:19, 23 Jan 2006 (EST)
 * You are correct!! "is" should be "are". I have to say, my Missouri hillbilly English missed that.... I will make the change. :) (WT-en) Xltel 16:30, 23 Jan 2006 (EST)

Nomination
Hey, you may want to check out Project:Administrator nominations. (WT-en) Majnoona 20:25, 10 Feb 2006 (EST)

Image gallery
I'm not sure if you're aware, but Wiki syntax offers the ability to easily create an image gallery without using lots of image and thumbnail tags:

It's pretty simple and a bit easier to organize than thumbnails. Of course, your (WT-en) thumbnail gallery looks fine as well. -- (WT-en) Ryan 14:03, 20 Feb 2006 (EST)

Public domain
Saw your comments on (WT-en) Evan's talk page. Anything that is public domain means it is released for anyone to basically do anything with it (pretty much only slander and libel would be excepted as far as I'm aware). PD is therefore completely compatible with Wikivoyage's license. Also note that much of the US government work (such as the CIA World Factbook) is public domain, and therefore OK to use here. -- (WT-en) Ryan 16:36, 22 Feb 2006 (EST)

Dixie
Hey Tom, could you take a minute and look at the discussion going on on the Talk:Dixie page? I set up Dixie as a region (accurately named for historical reasons) in the state of Utah, but there is a question as to whether it should be renamed and redirected owing to the historical association of the term "Dixie" with the American South -- whether that association is positive or not. The opinion of an Arkansan on this would be a useful thing to have in the discussion. -- (WT-en) Bill-on-the-Hill 20:20, 3 March 2006 (EST)
 * Hi Bill, not sure I am really any better to comment on Dixie then anyone else. It is one of those Famous Places I'm not really politically aligned with the region and don't have any reason to like or dislike the term. That said, I have to agree with Evan on this one. I suspect more people will be typing Dixie looking for the south then anything else. Basically that is what was done on Wikipedia. I also created a page for Kiamichi Country and that area is also called "Little Dixie" and even mentioned that fact on the page. From the Wikipedia Disambiguation I see there is a "Little Dixie" in Missouri also. Then there is Dixie, Washington and Dixie County, Florida. Dixie just falls in that "Famous Places" category. -- (WT-en) Tom Holland (xltel) 21:35, 3 March 2006 (EST)
 * Oh, I'm not worried as to whether calling a region of Utah "Dixie" is PC; I don't particularly care about that part. The question is whether associating Dixie with the South is pejorative and therefore likely to stir up trouble if the redirect is done, in the experience of one who's on the periphery of that particular Dixie.  Anyway, thanks for the view.  Evan, if you read this, my position remains "go ahead if you think this change should be made; I don't, but don't feel strongly about it." -- (WT-en) Bill-on-the-Hill 21:54, 3 March 2006 (EST)
 * I haven't seen any problem with association between Dixie and the South or any problems with "Dixie" per se. We have divided the south region into an area that really is Dixie, so that should not be a problem. I have seen issues with the song "Dixie", but that is about it. If I were you, I would plunge forward and disambig it like I wanted. Direct Dixie to the "South" or create a disambig page for all of them. I doubt you would have big complaints either way. If so, it would be easy to fix.... so, disambig it the way you want and see if it sticks. -- (WT-en) Tom Holland (xltel) 13:05, 4 March 2006 (EST)

Coming through
So we're shooting for being in Oklahoma City late on Wednesday 8 Mar 2006, and off to Austin in the morning. We'd love to hang out and have coffee 9 Mar 2006 if you'd like. --(WT-en) Evan 20:36, 5 March 2006 (EST)
 * Sounds great! I emailed you my cell number. I will look forward to meeting you. -- (WT-en) Tom Holland (xltel) 21:48, 5 March 2006 (EST)

 * OK, looks like we're on. It'll be good to meet you, too. Hope you like babies! --(WT-en) Evan 22:28, 5 March 2006 (EST)

Zooom
Maj, Amita and I stopped in Tulsa last night. We're going to leave in about half an hour, and we'll be in Oklahoma City by late morning. I'll give you a call on your cell when we're on the road. --(WT-en) Evan 09:32, 9 March 2006 (EST)

Evan, Maj and Amita Jun

Added the picture here, if anyone wants to comment, feel free.

Article status
I've been putting the isIn right at the bottom because I thought I read somewhere that it was supposed to go there (although Project:Breadcrumb_navigation doesn't mention it), which also seemed to make sense for ease of finding/editing (and checking, if you forgot since you clicked the "edit" button) it as it ought to change several times as the article progresses. Am I doing it wrong? sorry, completely confused myself - what I thought I read somewhere was that the status template-thing should go at the bottom... - Project:Article_status doesn't mention it either.

 * yeah, not sure it makes any difference. I am adding and to do that I have to put it above the isIn and delete the  . Doing this so people will have a template to put stuff. Don't worry to much about format, there will be people that come along later and fix that. The content you are adding is what counts. BTW, that you for all your efforts. -- (WT-en) Tom Holland (xltel) 18:50, 10 March 2006 (EST)

Toronto
I'm done with Toronto for now (I had to skimp on the last 7 disambiguations - they only list one place - as I've run out of time). As you say "Toronto is one of my favorite places", and I've never been there, please can you decide what's best left in the Greater_Toronto_Area section, and prune the rest?

Also, if you get a moment, please could you move Milton to Milton_(Florida)? - cheers.

Disambiguations
I'm really struggling with these disambiguations (maybe I should just avoid them).
 * Altiplano_(Peru) - shouldn't that be simply Altiplano?
 * Puno - shouldn't that be Puno_(city) - as links to Puno_(department) Puno_(region) already exist?

 * I think you are correct. -- (WT-en) Tom Holland (xltel) 22:36, 11 March 2006 (EST)

Arlington VA
Hello, thanks for correcting my links from the Arlington VA page. Hopefully we can continue to update the page with more info on that great city. 222.212.5.45
 * Oh yes, please do continue to contrubute. Thank you for your efforts. -- (WT-en) Tom Holland (xltel) 08:01, 12 March 2006 (EST)
 * Also, the content your are adding is much more important then the minor format edits I did. If I interrupted your work with my edit I am sorry. Again, thank you for your contributions. --(WT-en) Tom Holland (xltel) 08:11, 12 March 2006 (EST)

How to delete
Hey -- I put this on User:(WT-en) Ravikiran r's talk page earlier but figured it might be useful for you too as a new admin. Since the deletion procedures aren't real well documented, here are some things to look out for:

 * 1) With both images and articles, first verify that nothing still links to them.  For articles, use the "What links here" link in the left nav.  For images, there's a section at the bottom of the image page.
 * 2) To delete an article, use the "delete" tab at the top of the page.  If there is a talk page that can also be deleted.
 * 3) To delete an image, use the "Delete all revisions" link next to the image upload date.  If you don't see that link, purge the image page from the cache using the "History" tab, and change the action value in the URL to "purge".

Hope that helps -- let me know if you have any problems. -- (WT-en) Ryan 22:09, 12 March 2006 (EST)

User talk:Xltel/Pipe Spring National Monument

Tom, I will certainly give you credit for trying; this is probably as complete a guide to Pipe Spring (apart from the absence of photos, and you can't photograph what you haven't seen) as exists outside the NPS itself. But this simply isn't a destination. Look at the content; what is the single largest, most time-requiring thing you added? A half-mile trail? About half of the towns in the western United States have something at least this "major" as part of a town or county park. We don't treat those town parks as destinations.

If you really want to move this into the article and cancel the redirect, go ahead and do so. There are other articles here that describe places that are as clearly non-destinations as this one, or more. We won't be setting an undesirable precedent, getting on a slippery slope, whatever. We'll just have kicked the question of how to deal with the truly minor national monuments down the road a little bit; the world won't end for that, although I'd still like to see a more reasoned policy develop that makes it unnecessary for folks to put effort into non-destinations. -- (WT-en) Bill-on-the-Hill 09:37, 28 November 2006 (EST)

User talk:Xltel/Sep 2006

How goes it? Thanks for the invite. I just noticed the St. Augustine page after I made mine. I ported all my info to that page, so if you want you can delete the one I made. Is there a way though to make it so if someone does type in St Augustine, St Auggie, or Saint Augustine, that the St. Augustine page pulls up? Thanks and have a nice day.

Message from Noel Walley
Hello Tom Holland,

Thank you for your welcome, but to what? I live in Llandudno, North Wales, UK, I am retired and nobody pays me for what I write and I am keen to promote all that is best in Llandudno. That is why I have my own website www.greatorme.org.uk and I also contribute to Wikipedia:Llandudno and throughout North Wales and elsewhere. When by accident I came across this Wikivoyage:Llandudno site, I wondered what it could possibly tell me that was extra? I soon found out that the stones for Stone Henge came from the Great Orme and so did iron! No one has ever linked either with Llandudno before - such news! Utter rubbish and such clumsy English throughout. I felt the needed to do something about it. All those unattributed entries are mine - what's the matter with your software? it keeps throwing me off with time outs? This does not happen on Wikipedia. What is it about all those turn-off headings? Understand? Buy? Sell? Get In? Get out? Give up? etc etc.

Please do me a favour and send me the link for whatsoever you consider the best Wikivoyage entry on your books and I will consider my position.

86.130.87.37 10:47, 19 March 2006 (EST) (or Noel Walley if that don't work)!

Hot springs
Hey Tom, any chance you could drop by the Hot springs article and put some flesh on the Arkansas bones? The expansion of terse place listings into a summary of what's really accessible would help the article, and you're probably better placed to do that one than anyone else. -- (WT-en) Bill-on-the-Hill 23:44, 22 March 2006 (EST)

When I get to Arkansas I will add to Hot Springs (Arkansas), I'll do adds to Hot springs then. -- (WT-en) Tom Holland (xltel) 10:26, 23 March 2006 (EST)

Tom
Will you help me clean? (WT-en) Traveler2006 13:21, 28 March 2006 (EST)
 * Please explain what you mean by "Clean" are you talking about what I have been doing adding templates and formatting, then I am glad to do it. I suggest you do some reading of the links on your talk page and you can help with this as you go. Thank you for your contributions. -- (WT-en) Tom Holland (xltel)

Thank you Tom for cleaning the requests i made. (WT-en) Traveler2006 13:24, 28 March 2006 (EST) I hope someday Blue, Arizona and David, Kentucky can be made into travels. (WT-en) Traveler2006 13:24, 28 March 2006 (EST) thanks
 * Glad to help, but the names will not be as you have shown them with the comma. They will be Blue {Arizona} and David (Kentucky}. I suggest you read Project:Article naming conventions and also read Project:How to start a new page, as well as Project:What is an article?. Thank you for your contibutions, you will pick up the style as you go along. -- (WT-en) Tom Holland (xltel) 13:32, 28 March 2006 (EST)

 * Hi Traveler2006... We do want you to contribute and we would also like for you to help with edits. There are things we can and can not do on Wikivoyage and if you hang around you will learn. But I must tell you the graffiti and vandalism will be reverted and deleted. Again, we do want your help and thanks for the valid contributions -- (WT-en) Tom Holland (xltel) 14:15, 28 March 2006 (EST)

Sorry Tom again I must say The vandalism is never? (WT-en) Traveler2006 14:23, 28 March 2006 (EST) thanks for your help nice photo who is the child? (WT-en) Traveler2006 14:23, 28 March 2006 (EST)

 * It is not a problem. The images you added early on I will mark for deletion. Don't take it personal. We just have to remove anything that does not meet the image policy. Hang in there, we want you to learn and contribute in a positive way. -- (WT-en) Tom Holland (xltel) 14:30, 28 March 2006 (EST)

Sure Tom i'am up for it! (WT-en) Traveler2006 14:32, 28 March 2006 (EST)

Disambiguation page template
Just noticed that you've got your own template for disambiguation pages -- I put a note on Project:Disambiguation pages a while back about standardizing the template, and when no one objected put Project:Disambiguation pages up as the recommended format. Like everything around here that could be changed, but if you're OK with it then let's standardize.

By the way, thanks for dealing with our friend Traveler2006 this morning. -- (WT-en) Ryan 19:27, 28 March 2006 (EST)

 * I fixed my template to be in line with the standard you developed. It was pretty close already. Thanks! -- (WT-en) Tom Holland (xltel) 19:39, 28 March 2006 (EST)

oakfield just...

Welcomes
Uh, Tom, unless I'm missing something, it's the norm to place the Project:Welcome message on newcomers' talk pages rather than on the main user page -- as you did, for example, on User:(WT-en) Haem85. That keeps the welcome around after the new user figures out how to fill the user page with personalized stuff. Am I missing something? It's great that you're helping welcome the newbies, anyway. -- (WT-en) Bill-on-the-Hill 21:49, 4 April 2006 (EDT)

 * In the interest of not confusing a new user I copied the message to the talk page and blanked the user page. I'm sure this was probably just a mistake on Tom's part as I've done the same thing on several occasions. -- (WT-en) Ryan 22:09, 4 April 2006 (EDT)

Winslow (Arkansas)?
Need some advice. I just set up a disambiguation page for "Winslow" in view of the fact that there are places by this name in at least Arizona (which figures in some revisions I've been making) and Buckinghamshire. In the process I noted that your Ozarks (Arkansas) contribution includes a placeholder for a Winslow there too. However, I am unable to find any place called Winslow, Arkansas on the first atlas I checked, which really ought to have it. What's the deal? Destination (even if a little dinky one) or not? -- (WT-en) Bill-on-the-Hill 11:32, 15 April 2006 (EDT)
 * Hi Bill, Winslow (Arkansas) is located at the top of the Boston Mountains in Northwest Arkansas. You should be able to locate it on maps.google.com and I always like to check Wikipedia as they have a good list for disamb pages including Winslow, AR. Thanks Bill. -- (WT-en) Tom Holland (xltel) 12:06, 15 April 2006 (EDT)

Links and such
Can you keep an eye out for links being added by (WT-en) Evg. It's probably a good time for me to go to sleep. Thanks. (WT-en) Sapphire 07:24, 21 April 2006 (EDT)
 * Will do... goodnight! - (WT-en) Tom Holland (xltel) 07:28, 21 April 2006 (EDT)

Thanks
Thanks for the welcome, i had a feeling i would need to change the picture (have spent some time on wikipedia!) i have changed it but cant seem to deleat the old one, is there a way?

Thanks again (WT-en) JossDude 03:09, 22 May 2006 (EDT)

You have my permission, glad you like the picture, i have a few panorama pics from different places. Try to take a set when i go,

Cheers (WT-en) JossDude 15:15, 22 May 2006 (EDT)

thank you
Thank you for improving Tulsa, which is where I live now.

I see you are in Oregon now, where I used to live.

If you have a chance, would you mind snapping a photo of the "Cheddar Master" (in Tillamook Oregon) from the road, so other travelers can find it easier? (Do they still give free tours?) --(WT-en) DavidCary 17:37, 25 May 2006 (EDT)

 * I will do my best. I am going to be here till mid-July. If I make it over to Tillamook I will get a picture for sure. -- (WT-en) Tom Holland (xltel) 17:44, 25 May 2006 (EDT)

Thanks for the admin nomination, but I'd like to sleep on it. I've sent you an email regarding the nomination. - (WT-en) Andrew Haggard (Sapphire) 14:09, 1 June 2006 (EDT)

India
Thanks Tom - my rollback mojo is obviously lacking today... although you could eat cheese and tootsie rolls in India ;-) -- (WT-en) Ryan 19:24, 1 June 2006 (EDT)

Crater Lake National Park
Just a note to say great shot of Crater Lake! I've visited a few times and never gotten anything memorable, but yours is exceptional! -- (WT-en) Ryan 19:24, 29 July 2006 (EDT)
 * Thanks! I made a couple of trips there since I have been in Oregon and have several other pictures. It is truely a beautiful place. -- (WT-en) Tom Holland (xltel) 19:36, 29 July 2006 (EDT)

Long Island - Maine
Thanks for setting me straight about Frenchboro and Long Island. I have cleaned up my error and hopefully improved the article. As to Long Island (Maine), I think there is probably a consensus that the page stay now. You should now remove the VfD banner and remove the discussion from Project:Votes for deletion and add it to Talk:Long Island (Maine). This will avoid having the page deleted. -- (WT-en) Huttite 22:33, 29 July 2006 (EDT)

Main Page/
Sorry to barge in on your question. I think it may be unwise to redirect that page to the main page, because the spammers that were spamming Main Page/ were obviously using a spambot and if we redirect the page to the main page then the bot instead of coming to a dead end at Main Page/ would be sent to the Main Page and may dump its spam there. Personally, I'd rather have one orphaned page then have to revert a spambot every twenty minutes or so on the main page. -- (WT-en) Andrew Haggard (Sapphire) 06:42, 20 August 2006 (EDT)

 * That is what I was afraid of and the reason for asking before plunging forward. Thanks for clarifing that. -- (WT-en) Tom Holland (xltel) 06:50, 20 August 2006 (EDT)
 * Yes, redirecting would be no use. The spambot will obviously be programmed to submit the form, which will override any redirects. — (WT-en) Ravikiran 09:01, 20 August 2006 (EDT)

Thanks and sorry
Thanks for fixing my screwup with Z-kalinic's user/talk pages. Sorry to waste your time on it. (WT-en) OldPine 12:43, 27 August 2006 (EDT)

Kent
Does that suffice? I believe I meant to put the disambiguator after Kent, but I got caught up in trying to hunt down attractions in Kent and Portage County and forgot about the need for the (disambiguation). -- (WT-en) Sapphire 21:41, 9 September 2006 (EDT)

Thanks for the welcome message
Hi Tom, and thanks for your welcome to the site. It's nice to have a welcome from a real person and not just a computer-generated one! Much appreciated. -- (WT-en) Michael Pike 15:55, 16 September 2006 (GMT)

disamb unlinking
I understand (I think) why you've done it, but the unlinking seems a bit counter-productive as I've spent time figuring out if each one needs to be disambiguated or not.

Also bear in mind that sometimes these links are to articles that have not yet been created but which are already linked to from other articles - eg Prince George's County on Marlow. ~ 203.144.143.6 09:43, 21 September 2006 (EDT)

 * Hi, we have pretty much determined by discussion that we are not going to disambig all 3000 plus counties and in the past we have discouraged doing that. See Project:Geographical hierarchy Section: "Do we really want counties as destinations?". I would encourage you to join that discussion. It seems to be consensus at this point that we don't encourage creation of counties as destinations. This is NOT policy. If a Wikivoyageer believes that a county is good destination and/or a good holder for cities when the base region is has too many listed, then we don't prevent creation of the article. That said, because you find a link to a county on some page or on a disambig page it doesn't mean we support linking to non-existent counties, it just means that someone has not removed it.

 * All this said, I have changed my original position on counties and do believe they are useful when regions have too many cities listed. I still don't think they make good travel destinations in most cases. They do in some and a good example is California.

 * So, when I un-link a county that has not been created, it is just my way of discouraging the creation of them. If a link is there, then the county is more likely to get created and that is not a good reason for creation.

 * I hope this explains and please continue with your valuable contributions. I do not want to discourage you from that. I would also encourage you to join in the discussion of this and create an account so that it would make it easy to communicate. -- (WT-en) Tom Holland (xltel) 10:27, 21 September 2006 (EDT)

 * Seems to me that the pages in question should be created as redirects. That way the disambiguation work is carried through, and anyone looking for info on that place is taken straight to whichever article actually covers it.

Hi Tom,
I noticed your great contributions to Wikivoyage and also how you are such an avid traveler (you really get around!). I just wanted to invite you to a new free travel planning website located at TripTie.com. TripTie is very web 2.0 where people can edit any of the information, yet also very different from Wikivoyage, in the sense that TripTie serves as a trip planning website that allows users to customize and edit itineraries, item descriptions and upload photos. We are currently in beta right now, but you can email me at karl@triptie.com and I will be happy to send you an invitation into the beta, or feel free to go to the website and invite yourself. Please check us out, I would love to know what you think of our website.

Thanks so much, Karl Sung TripTie.com Founding Partner & Manager

useless redirects to articles that don't exist
For sure I've not created any redirects to articles that don't exist. If any of the others I've created were counterproductive or against policy or incorrectly edited in any way, please give me an example.

Thanks for the invite to create an account - I'll think about it. ~ 203.144.143.6 14:04, 23 September 2006 (EDT)

Thanks for the examples. Both redirects were created to prevent them accidentally being created as articles in the future, as opposed to redirects. The disambiguation was because there were already links set up to Redonda (Antigua) and to Redonda Island (Canada). ~ 203.144.143.6 15:15, 23 September 2006 (EDT)

Aggressive editing
When you find several people all disagreeing with you, perhaps you should step back and try discussing the matter rather than repeatedly inserting text into an article. - (WT-en) Todd VerBeek 12:04, 30 July 2006 (EDT)

Warnings
Copied from User talk:82.43.244.187:

In general it's a bad idea to repeatedly re-add content that others are removing - in the Wiki world if something is deemed controversial the correct procedure is to discuss it on the talk page (see Talk:United States of America). Just like people who write in ALL-CAPS may not realize that others perceive them to be "shouting", the attempt to make a point point by re-inserting deleted text is generally considered aggressive, and I don't think that's your intent. Please discuss, and hopefully we can come to a resolution. You may also want to login as it makes it easier to communicate. -- (WT-en) Ryan 11:56, 30 July 2006 (EDT)

 * Adding to the above, warningboxes are usually reserved for really important items that aren't common sense. Driving in an automobile is one of the most common ways people die in America, but we don't warn about that.  Consuming too much alcohol can lead to injury and death, but we don't warn about that.  And screwing with customs in any country can get you in trouble, but I don't think (and others seem to agree) that a warning box is required.  Warning boxes are used for making hugely important points ("Visiting Iraq is dangerous right now!") or for things that travelers may not be aware of and MUST know ("The penalty for importing any drugs into Singapore is death").  Anyhow, Talk:United States of America is the place to discuss this. -- (WT-en) Ryan 12:08, 30 July 2006 (EDT)

Number of cities
I reverted your change to United Kingdom; we've been drawing a hard line at 9 cities. If you want to add a city, propose another one to drop on the talk page. Otherwise, we end up with "just one more city" until we have 12 or 22... -- (WT-en) Jonboy 14:52, 30 July 2006 (EDT)

Accomodation in Preston
Hi Dan, thanks for your help on Preston!

I see you moved the Hotel Barton Grange from mid range to splurge citing this in the comment box: ''moved four star back to splurge. 5 star status is rare in north england, this hotel rivals many 5 star. should be in splurge''

The way the accomodation listings on wikivoyage are categorised is by price, i.e. a cheap youth hostel which costs £10 a night is budget, a medium priced (£50ish) hotel is midrange, and your uber luxurious hotel (£80+) is splurge... However, if that uber luxurious hotel decides to charge £10 a night, then that would go in budget. I haven't been able to find anything in actual writing on the site that says what should go where, but thats more or less the way things are done around here! I've just posted a comment in the travellers pub about the price boundaries and hopefully we'll get some feedback on where the Hotel Barton Grange should go!

I also had a quick look on the Hotel Barton Grange website, and a single room costs £55 - usually I would put this hotel in the mid range section. Any problems, post something on my talk page. -- (WT-en) Tim 09:38, 2 August 2006 (EDT)

Let's Talk
Please see Talk:United States of America/Respect and Warnings, if you are willing... Let's go there and talk about it. We might be able to come up with something that is not viewed as a political statement, but useful to the Wikivoyageer.

 * That's too bad, actually. Our license isn't compatible with Wikipedia's, so it's not OK to copy content from there to here. You can do it if you wrote it, or if you get permission from the authors, but it's not OK to just copy it over. --(WT-en) Evan 20:55, 1 Jan 2004 (PST)

 * Oh, really? Sorry about that. I thought I just couldn't copy content here to Wikipedia, but not the reverse.

Do delete that article then if not okay. :| --(WT-en) yacht(Talk)China 21:05, 1 Jan 2004 (PST)

 * You can use the content anyway you like, as long as you keep it under the GFDL. If you put it on Wikivoyage, it goes under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license. You can't change the license on the content -- part of what makes it copyleft.

 * I'd prefer not to delete the article outright. Could you simply remove the parts you copied from Wikipedia? It looks like you started from the Spanish phrasebook -- which is OK, even if we mostly start from the Project:Phrasebook template -- and added onto it. --(WT-en) Evan 21:09, 1 Jan 2004 (PST)

My beef with your edit is that government laws don't do shit. Guess what, it's illegal in Brazil to murder someone, yet, there were 49,570+ murders in Brazil in 2002. Thus, including information about hate speech laws does not help the traveler, especially if anti-murder laws don't work. -- (WT-en) Sapphire • (Talk) • 20:21, 22 August 2007 (EDT)

Thanks for your edits to the various Indian pages, just a quick note to make sure and select a license for any photos that you upload and that their either yours or you have the right to upload them, otherwise they'll have to be deleted. We also prefer images to be uploaded to Wikivoyage shared which then allows all language versions to use the photo, not just English :)

Here's the usual welcome message also, with some useful links:
