Your edits to the City East article
Please accept my apologies for reverting your recent contribution to the Sydney/City East travel guide.

Please do not feel offended or think that I was being harsh and that your no doubt considerable effort and good will has been undone. It looks like you are new to editing here and unfortunately there are quite a lot of somewhat formulaic requirements on WT, not just for content but also in regard to where the content is positioned and structured into the article. Please be re-assured that your hard work is noticed and please do continue to contribute.

Please have another look over the article with your contribution now removed and examine in particular the Do, Parks, Sports fixtures, the introduction to Eat and Drink, and also the Stay safe section.

Don't worry it is not all deleted and lost. It remains in the WT histories and your content can be brought up again. Indeed if you look below you will find it there just as it was when you edited it today.

Your content, if suitably restructured to WT guidelines may fit into these section categories and may possibly develop this article and improve the content and information provided to readers. Just have a good look at some other well developed articles first so you can see what fits the general WT structural formula

Please do not be discouraged, just revisit the article and think about how you can improve it without putting your very nicely written and informing content into the wrong section of the article. Definetely do not put it into the orientation section as you have as without doubt another patrolling editor will probably just delete it all. Indeed that is the main problem with your recent edit and that is why I have come along and just removed the whole lot of it. I do not want to start chopping up and rewriting your contribution. You are clearly quite capable of doing that yourself and you may as well try and get the hang of it so that you can go on contributing. WT does not want to lose you. Another patrolling editor may look here on you Talk page and see that this has been explained all ready and they may possibly not even explain it to you further, they will just delete again. But please don't think that is is because your content is not acceptable or that people are just being nasty. If you need some assistance look around first at other well developed similar articles for some guidelines. Also have a look in the help areas of WT. If you think you are being treated harshly ask for one of the WT administrators to help steer you in the right direction so you can get a hang of it as quickly as possible.

What you wrote was fine, it was just incorrectly placed within the article.

Maybe try experimenting here on your talk page using it as a sandbox. I have copied the entire article With your edits as per your previous version into you talk page here so that you still have the content at hand. Don't think that everything you wrote is lost as it is all readily recallable from the histories. You can you can experiment with it here without any thing you do running up against article edit reverts from others like myself. Once you have it in good shape then have another go at putting it into the article.

To preview what you are working on just use the Preview button when in edit mode. If you are here using your Talk page to build your contribution then you can save at any time without it causing any controversy at all. So please have a look at your contributions to the article here on your Talk page first and try and rework your content so that it can be used in the article.

Please keep up the good work. (WT-en) felix 08:15, 28 September 2010 (EDT)

Hello and welcome to Wikivoyage. Please take a look at Welcome, business owners and Project:Don't tout.

Wikivoyage is not meant to be a yellow pages, nor an advertising brochure, so please do not add listings for your business that have flowery, promotional language or that lack any useful information, in particular price ranges for rooms. Also do not list your listing more than once, and do not list it in a city other than the one it actually is in. Lastly, please do not include the city, state, and zip code in the address field. While yes, this is good for your search engine optimization, this is straightforwardly inappropriate on Wikivoyage, since the article name should indicate what city it is in.

Edits that do not follow these guidelines will be reverted. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 12:29, 7 July 2009 (EDT)

 * Seriously, though, if you don't include price ranges, I will revert your edits.

 * A few more things: Your hotel's name does not need to be repeated in the description. Please avoid describing your hotel as being "located near prominent attractions." If it is across the street from a major attraction, say that—otherwise let your address do the talking. Do not list every mundane amenity your hotel offers—no one cares about your desk chairs or coffee makers, or the "high speed" internet. Don't describe the town in your listing—it should already be described in the rest of the article. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 15:32, 7 July 2009 (EDT)

 * I must ask, why do you continue with these edits, knowing that they will just be reverted? Why waste your time and others'? This happens all the time, and I'd love to have the insight of an actual hotel spammer, so please do answer this question. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 15:47, 7 July 2009 (EDT)

Hello, please read our guidelines on tours. If you fulfil the requirement - i.e. if you offer activities travellers really can not do on their own, remember that individual listings never go in region articles, but in the city where your office is located. If you just offer guided tours and reselling, your business should not be included in Wikivoyage.

And perhaps even more important, never, never, ever use ALL CAPS in Wikivoyage articles, it will be reverted immediately, as it is considered highly offensive and the equivalent of shouting online, shouting at customers are usually bad for business - also in real life.

Also see our guidelines for business owners. --(WT-en) Stefan (sertmann) talk 21:01, 25 November 2009 (EST)

Hi there. Thanks for your contributions to Wikivoyage. Please have a look at our Copyleft license. You have been contributing hotel descriptions that are violations of copyright law. You'll save us a lot of deletion work if you'd write your own descriptions of these places, as we cannot allow those copied descriptions to stay. Thanks! (WT-en) Texugo 05:15, 2 October 2007 (EDT)

Useless waffle
Hello again

As well as reviewing your past edits and looking at what happened to them (see Project:How to handle unwanted edits for a better understanding), may I suggest that you familiarise yourself with the following guidelines. The first three are especially relevant:

 * Project:Copyleft - EXTREMELY important! - NEVER copy and paste work from other websites - this INCLUDES hotel descriptions from the website of the hotel, hotel review websites, travel forums, etc - Wikivoyage cannot accept any of this content.

 * Project:Tone - NEVER use promotional waffle such as At the Holiday Inn Express Anderson (I-85, Exit 27), South Carolina, you’ll discover an outstanding hotel experience, enhanced by our Clemson University and Anderson University surrounds and exciting getaway packages. ( and ) - this is completely useless and is exactly what Wikivoyage DOES NOT WANT. Leave the description completely blank unless you've actually stayed there and have some useful information to contribute.

 * Project:Accommodation listings - NEVER repeat the hotel name - only include it ONCE, right at the beginning.

 * Project:Tips for new contributors

 * Project:Manual of style

 * Project:How to

 * Project:Help

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask them here: Project:Travellers' pub

Hope this helps. ~ 202.71.45.37 08:10, 12 October 2007 (EDT)

 * Project:Copyleft - EXTREMELY important! - NEVER copy and paste work from other websites - this INCLUDES hotel descriptions from the website of the hotel, hotel review websites, travel forums, etc - Wikivoyage cannot accept any of this content

 * Project:Tone - NEVER use promotional waffle such as Welcome to Best Western Northwoods Inn, Crescent City’s most popular bed and breakfast, family vacation, and business meeting destination. Come stay with us while you marvel at Del Norte County’s majestic redwood forests; experience the thrill of whale watching; enjoy superb fishing in our pristine rivers—and much more! - this is completely useless and is exactly what Wikivoyage DOES NOT WANT. Leave the description completely blank unless you've actually stayed there and have some useful information to contribute.

Another copyvio, more useless waffle, & obviously incorrect name
Re the following edits:

Friday Harbor

''Embrace tranquil lodging luxury at Best Western Friday Harbor Suites hotel and resort in Friday Harbor, Washington, where San Juan Island hospitality sweeps you away. Find out about exciting Specials & Packages!'' is a copyvio. It is also obviously useless advertising/promotional waffle.

As already stated above:

 * EXTREMELY important! - NEVER copy and paste work from other websites - this INCLUDES hotel descriptions from the website of the hotel, hotel review websites, travel forums, etc - Wikivoyage cannot accept any of this content.

 * Please leave the description completely blank unless you've actually stayed there and have some useful information to contribute.

Thanks.

Your listings have all been reverted as they do not comply with our site guidelines. Could you provide any contact information for whatever company has hired you to add listings to Wikivoyage? We have had so many problems with hotel chains adding their listings that site policy is moving towards immediate reverts of any such additions, so it would be tremendously helpful to be able to talk to a contact person at these companies before wasting more of your (and our) time. -- (WT-en) Ryan • (talk) • 15:03, 3 February 2010 (EST)

 * Please do not engage in edit wars. Your Holiday Inn listing was removed from Andover in accordance with the Project:Don't tout policy (one listing only) - the hotel is located in Lawrence (Massachusetts) and already appears in that article. -- (WT-en) Ryan • (talk) • 14:58, 10 February 2010 (EST)

 * I'm not sure if you are receiving messages left on this talk page, so please respond here if you are. Wikivoyage has guidelines for hotel marketers that will be useful to you.  Some pointers: do not include city, state and zip code in addresses, and make sure that there is a non-promotional description of the property in any hotel listing that you add.

Hello and welcome to Wikivoyage. Please take a look at Welcome, business owners and Project:Don't tout.

Wikivoyage is not meant to be a yellow pages, nor an advertising brochure, so please do not add listings for your business that have flowery, promotional language. Also do not list your listing more than once, and do not list it in a city other than the one it actually is in. Please avoid describing your hotel as being "located near prominent attractions." If it is across the street from a major attraction, say that—otherwise let your address do the talking. Do not list every mundane amenity your hotel offers—no one cares about your desk chairs or coffee makers, or the "high speed" internet. Don't ever use the words "spacious" or "luxurious."

Please don't add listings that lack any useful information, in particular price ranges for rooms. If there is something unique about your hotel, please include this in the description, but the pricing is the single most important bit of information that you can provide. We know that your prices fluctuate—this why we use price ranges, or at least a price bottom (not including discounted rates...) like "from $110." Third, you have to add the hotels to the price-sort categories of budget/mid-range/splurge—it's just not ok to leave them unsorted (alphabetical order applies too).

Please do not format your listings to improve your SEO. Your hotel's name does not need to be repeated in the description. Nor do you need to include the city, state, and zip code in the address field (since the article name tells you what town you're in). Likewise, don't describe the town in your listing—it should already be described in the rest of the article.

Back to the note about yellow pages. We don't want endless amounts of info-less hotel listings in our articles. If you want to add yours, make sure that the quality of your listing is better than the others present on the page already. That will increase the likelihood that we keep it.

Edits that do not follow these guidelines will be reverted. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 12:53, 7 August 2009 (EDT)

Nagpur: A city unlike any other I have have been so far... a place without the monumental sites or the extreme temples often equated with this country. Rather the city, in itself, is The Site. Nagpur retains the character of traditional rural but progressing India but is obviously polished by the cloth of education, culture, art, humanity. Take a stroll along the Highland drive road (Seminary Hills) at sunrise and it seems like the whole city has awoken before you, there exercising, playing cricket, walking, laughing, talking - taking time to enjoy something in life more than just working. Visit the many venues of art and music where you'll find yourself surrounded by locals. Drop into the places of worship for many different religions and see the tolerance and co-existence that is emanated into the rest of the city. Go to the Itwari just to watch the ceremony of buying a Sari. Stroll through Old Town to get that same market flavour you'll find throughout India. And all this time, take notice of how clean the city is compared to anywhere else in India - a sign that the people have respect for both themselves and their fellow citizens. Sure the traffic is bad like everywhere else, but this is truly the friendliest city I've been in, where people seem more genuine and interested in showing you their city than trying to sell you something. Nagpur is on the move in both physical growth and societal advancement. And if you make it there, ENJOY - Naqui Ahmad, April 2007.

Because you SHOUT and you tout. Read Project:Don't tout and Project:Accommodation listings to see what tone and format you need to use to have any hope of seeing your entries stay up. If you, instead, persist in putting up edits that have to be reverted every time, volunteer administrators may eventually conclude that it is necessary to block your account or/and blacklist your properties, so please cooperate.

 * Your constant spamming of multiple articles with details of the GTV Resort is getting more than annoying.

Hello and welcome to Wikivoyage. Please take a look at Welcome, business owners and Project:Don't tout.

Wikivoyage is not meant to be a yellow pages, nor an advertising brochure, so please do not add listings for your business that have flowery, promotional language or that lack any useful information, in particular price ranges for rooms. Also do not list your listing more than once, and do not list it in a city other than the one it actually is in. Lastly, please do not include the city, state, and zip code in the address field. While yes, this is good for your search engine optimization, this is straightforwardly inappropriate on Wikivoyage, since the article name should indicate what city it is in.

Edits that do not follow these guidelines will be reverted. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 15:51, 11 May 2009 (EDT)

Since I just undo all your edits, whoever is paying for your work is clearly wasting their money. This does not need to be the case. There are good ways for hotel spammers to contribute to Wikivoyage, and I have a lot of experience here and know how this could be done. We would both save time this way, your company would benefit, Wikivoyage would benefit, all would be good. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 01:33, 12 May 2009 (EDT)

About your edits to the Coonoor article
Why do you think it's OK to post such long ads? It's not. Read these guidelines, please:

Project:Don't tout

Project:External Links, where the following is mentioned:

Use short readable links
Remember that for print versions of Wikivoyage, links will be presented in all their URLish ugliness. Readers of the print versions will have to type in by hand the URL that you add. For this reason, try to use the shortest URL possible for links, even if it means a little more work on the part of the reader when they click through a link. Where possible, try to trim out "housekeeping" stuff from the URL.

Hello and welcome to Wikivoyage. Please take a look at Welcome, business owners and Project:Don't tout.

Wikivoyage is not meant to be a yellow pages, nor an advertising brochure, so please do not add listings for your business that have flowery, promotional language. Also do not list your listing more than once, and do not list it in a city other than the one it actually is in. Please avoid describing your hotel as being "located near prominent attractions." If it is across the street from a major attraction, say that—otherwise let your address do the talking. Do not list every mundane amenity your hotel offers—no one cares about your desk chairs or coffee makers, or the "high speed" internet. Don't ever use the words "spacious" or "luxurious."

Please don't add listings that lack any useful information, in particular price ranges for rooms. If there is something unique about your hotel, please include this in the description, but the pricing is the single most important bit of information that you can provide. We know that your prices fluctuate—this why we use price ranges, or at least a price bottom (not including discounted rates...) like "from $110." Third, you have to add the hotels to the price-sort categories of budget/mid-range/splurge—it's just not ok to leave them unsorted (alphabetical order applies too).

Please do not format your listings to improve your SEO. Your hotel's name does not need to be repeated in the description. Nor do you need to include the city, state, and zip code in the address field (since the article name tells you what town you're in). Likewise, don't describe the town in your listing—it should already be described in the rest of the article.

Back to the note about yellow pages. We don't want endless amounts of info-less hotel listings in our articles. If you want to add yours, make sure that the quality of your listing is better than the others present on the page already. That will increase the likelihood that we keep it.

Also do not list your listing more than once, and do not list it in a city other than the one it actually is in. Please avoid describing your hotel as being "located near prominent attractions." If it is across the street from a major attraction, say that—otherwise let your address do the talking. Do not list every mundane amenity your hotel offers—no one cares about your desk chairs or coffee makers, or the "high speed" internet. Don't ever use the words "spacious" or "luxurious."

Please don't add listings that lack any useful information, in particular price ranges for rooms. If there is something unique about your hotel, please include this in the description, but the pricing is the single most important bit of information that you can provide. We know that your prices fluctuate—this why we use price ranges, or at least a price bottom (not including discounted rates...) like "from $110." Third, you have to add the hotels to the price-sort categories of budget/mid-range/splurge—it's just not ok to leave them unsorted (alphabetical order applies too).

Please do not format your listings to improve your SEO. Your hotel's name does not need to be repeated in the description. Nor do you need to include the city, state, and zip code in the address field (since the article name tells you what town you're in). Likewise, don't describe the town in your listing—it should already be described in the rest of the article.

Back to the note about yellow pages. We don't want endless amounts of info-less hotel listings in our articles. If you want to add yours, make sure that the quality of your listing is better than the others present on the page already. That will increase the likelihood that we keep it.

Edits that do not follow these guidelines will be reverted. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 16:32, 11 August 2009 (EDT)

Accommodation listings, and nearly all type of other listings with a specific address should be directed at the individual city/destinations articles, not at regional level per our policies. Please don't revert any further, any grievances should be directed at the talk page of that policy, instead of trying unilaterally to circumvent by persistence.

The reason for this policy is because we want to try to avoid duplicate content, of course business owners would like to see their business on as many pages as possible, but from a practical view, if every hotel, rental outfit and B&B in California started listing themselves on that guide, rather than the city they are in, our guide to California would be miles long with thousands of listings, and not very usable for anyone. --(WT-en) Stefan (sertmann) talk 00:49, 30 November 2009 (EST)

Welcome, and an explanation
Hi, and welcome to Wikivoyage! I've deleted your text in the new Nanluoguxiang article; please don't be discouraged by this. Your review seems very sincere, but there is a question of tone. This site does not use 1st-person language, as it's a guide (or set of guides), not a blog. Also, if you would like to list a restaurant, it's important to include at least a mappable or findable location, if not also contact information (phone number, website or/and email if any). Have a look here for some guidelines: Project:Don't tout, Project:Restaurant_listings. Please keep contributing.

Also, consider going to the Travellers' Pub if you'd like to ask any questions. We all recognize that Wiki sites are not always totally intuitive.

All the best,

(WT-en) Ikan Kekek 05:02, 9 October 2011 (EDT)

 * OK, you are not as sincere as I thought at first. Your touty, inappropriate article on your restaurant has been deleted. Restaurants do not get their own article on Wikivoyage, and this site is not a place for free advertising. Don't try this again, anywhere on the site. (WT-en) Ikan Kekek 05:04, 9 October 2011 (EDT)

Great work on Kansas City!

By the way, have you considered creating an account at Wikivoyage? It gives a bunch of benefits:
 * Easier communication — you will receive others' comments on your personal talk page, even if your future visits are from another IP.
 * Credit for your contributions — at the bottom of any article you edit.
 * Build a reputation — allow other Wikivoyagers to distinguish you from other anonymous users, and provide you with a greater level of trust.
 * Watchlist — a list of pages for which you want to keep track of future changes.
 * Become a Project:Docent — if you know a destination well and would like to share your knowledge.
 * Preferences menu — customize your Wikivoyage experience.

Suggesting that automatically adressing the Flemings in French is irresponsible. Addressing the locals in French could seriously offend them, because it is regarded as disrepectful and condesending due to historical reasons and the current disputes.

Don't tout
Hi. Everyone will appreciate any useful information about Himalayan trekking you post, but you are not allowed to use Wikivoyage as a forum to post promotional URLs. This constitutes touting, and the URLs you posted so far also run afoul of Wikivoyage's external links policy. Your future cooperation will be much appreciated.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them here or in the Project:Travellers' Pub. But also know that if you continue posting naked, promotional URLs, your account may be blocked, the URLs may be blacklisted, or both.

Welcome, reading list
Hi. Please read wbo, dt, and Project:Accommodation listings. Yes, accommodations can be listed, but their addresses cannot include anything beyond the street. More information about what's close to accommodations, within reason, can be placed in "Directions." Descriptions of accommodations are just that - descriptions of the accommodations themselves, not what's near them or how wonderful the town they're in is. If you want to say useful things about the town, the places for that would be in the introduction, "Understand," "See," "Do," etc. - not in a "Sleep" listing.

You'll see more info at the links I gave you. Please read up, so you know what kinds of listings aren't automatically deleted.

All the best,

(WT-en) Ikan Kekek 04:16, 9 March 2012 (EST)

 * Please stop including names of towns, post codes, country names, and the like in addresses of accommodations. Only the street address should be included, and if you think about it, you'll understand why: Any hotel that's not in Ubud shouldn't be in the Ubud guide. Etc.

Why your posts keep getting deleted or edited
As I posted in my editing remarks on the "Talk" page of the Niseko article:

Read http://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Avoid_first-person_pronouns and http://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Wikivoyage:Welcome%2C_business_owners

You should also read this:

http://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Tout

This is not an advertising site, and you can't use "we" and "our" to describe your property because you don't own this site, and everyone can edit any article here.

Your posts will continue to get deleted as long as you ignore Wikivoyage policies.

Hello Anonymous User!

You have been active here a while so 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.

I also think you had better create a user account and start logging in if you are going to make structural changes rather than just correct spelling. Logging in will let you do this. That way you can be accountable for your actions and can explain them, just as we are to anyone else who uses the wiki.

Please also remember that we try to seek consensus here, so your view should not be the only view to be considered when you make these changes. Otherwise somebody will reverse them when they disagree. I know it is probably awfully bureaucratic and cumbersome to do this, but it is the polite way of doing things. -- (WT-en) Huttite 14:57, 1 Jan 2006 (EST)

Thanks for your interest in Project:Destination of the Month candidates, but two comments: First, there is no policy against consecutive DotMs from a continent, or even a country. Second, before making a change like you just made, please try to obtain consensus via discussion. There are places in the text of the article that invite discussion of nominees, order, etc.; by using those you may be able to generate consensus that your proposed changes should be made. (Incidentally, if you register a username, conversations like this get easier.) -- (WT-en) Bill-on-the-Hill 00:14, 27 July 2006 (EDT)

Georgetown / George Town
The names of these two places are different, so they should probably have their own disambiguation pages (I think, might be wrong). -- (WT-en) Ryan 18:52, 16 July 2006 (EDT)

 * See Talk:Georgetown. Also, you should really consider creating a login - typically if I see an anonymous contributor making redirects and such I assume it's a new user who may not know what they're doing.  It is of course fine if you have some reason for not creating a login, but it would help the rest of us greatly in identifying you if you chose to create one. -- (WT-en) Ryan 19:19, 16 July 2006 (EDT)

Disambiguation
Thanks for all of the help with disambiguations, but please not that according to the Project:Article naming conventions an article with a name like Warren County (disambiguation) should only be created when there is a Warren County that is so much more famous than the others that a disambiguator would be a hindrance. Paris and London are two such cases. In all other cases, move the existing article (such as Warren County) to a disambiguated name (Warren County (Virginia)) and then edit the original page (Warren County) to make it a disambiguation page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions. -- (WT-en) Ryan 20:17, 16 July 2006 (EDT)

 * Also, it's considered a bit impolite to edit other people's comments on a Talk page, even if you're not changing the words. Sometimes people link things for a specific reason, and changing that can change the implications of what they're trying to get across.  In any case, it alters the "history" of a discussion, which can bother some people. - (WT-en) Todd VerBeek 22:48, 9 July 2006 (EDT)

 * It would be a big help for others here to recognize you and your edits. I for one give closer scrutiny to anonymous edits, since they're usually by newbies who don't know what they're doing, or by spammers.  Creating an account and logging in would help to reassure me at a glance that your edits aren't among them.  Finally, it's a lot nicer to have name for someone rather than just a number. - (WT-en) Todd VerBeek 15:42, 15 July 2006 (EDT)

Thanks & Disambiguation
Thanks for all of your work on disambiguations. You've probably read it, but if not then Project:Article naming conventions (specifically #4) has the guidelines of when an article name gets the "Foo (disambiguation)" name versus when we just use "Foo" as the disambiguation page. Also, if you create a user account it will make it easier to identify your edits, although that's obviously up to you. Thanks! -- (WT-en) Ryan 15:39, 15 July 2006 (EDT)

We have a standard format and template for disambiguation pages. If you're not going to use it, that's bad enough, but please don't go changing existing pages to suit your own preferences. Also, there's no point in adding Central Macedonia and West Macedonia to the disambig page when there's already a link to Macedonia (Greece) itself; we don't have Coastal Georgia, Northwest Georgia, etc. on Georgia, after all. - (WT-en) Todd VerBeek 16:55, 6 August 2006 (EDT)

By the way, I hate to break it to you after all the time you've put into editing articles to accommodate Huttite's renaming of the article, but as I indicated on Talk:Macedonia (Republic), that is not the appropriate name for it. I was hoping for more input on the whether it should be Macedonia (country) (to be consistent with Georgia (country)) or Republic of Macedonia (like Republic of Ireland), but I will be moving it to one other the other. Evidently you don't like communicating with people (I assume that's why you keep ignoring requests to create an account), but you should at least read Talk pages before acting like this. - (WT-en) Todd VerBeek 17:07, 6 August 2006 (EDT)

Disambiguation pages
Hey, 125 (you don't mind it if I call you that, do you?) I wouldn't put too much work into building comprehensive all-possible-variations disambiguation pages for something like North. The purpose of these pages is to provide a place to "catch" people following links that haven't been fixed yet, and the chances of someone accidentally linking to North when they meant Central North Island are pretty slim. - (WT-en) Todd VerBeek 18:13, 22 July 2006 (EDT)

Editing Talk pages
It is inappropriate to edit other people's comments on Talk pages.
