Bună Ronline! Îţi scriu aici că Wikipedia nu funţionează deocamdată.

Project:LanguageRo.php

Trebuie să-ţi spun că ar fi bine să înlocuim debugging cu depanare. De exemplu: Informaţie pentru debugging => Informaţie pentru depanare; Debug => Depanare (debug chiar înseamnă depanare, nu încerc eu să fac o traducere aproximativă). Ştiu că ai bazat traducerea pe Wikipedia, dar asta ar trebui să schimbăm neapărat.

La fel şi cu query. Îţi spun, eu sunt administrator pe Wiki în română (de câteva zile) şi la pagini specile există o pagină 'Efectuează un query' sau aşa ceva. Mă uitam la el... Sincer eram paralel cu ce vrea sa zică. Am putea înlocui cu Efectuează o solicitare.

Efectuează un query în baza de date => Fă (eventual Efectuează) o solicitare în baza de date.

A apărut o eroare în execuţia query-ului => A apărut o eroare în execuţia solicitării (s-ar putea adăuga şi dvs. la sfârşitul acestei propoziţii)

Aceasta se poate datora unui query ilegal => Aceasta se poate datora unei solicitări nepermise.

Ultimul query încercat a fost =>Ultima solicitare efectuată a fost

Pentru căutarea \"$1\ => Pentru solicitarea \"$1\

Căutare invalidă => Solicitarea de căutare incorectă (eventual invalidă dacă nu-ţi place incorectă)

Query SQL => Solicitare SQL

Folosiţi chestionarul de mai jos pentru a efectua un query direct către baza de date Wikivoyage (MySQL). Folosiţi apostrofuri ('în felul acesta') pentru a delimita şiruri de text. Această funcţionalitate poate solicita în mod deosebit server-ul, aşa că vă rugăm să nu o folosiţi în exces." => Folosiţi chestionarul de mai jos pentru a efectua o solicitare directă către baza de date Wikivoyage (MySQL). Folosiţi apostrofuri ('în felul acesta') pentru a delimita şiruri de text. Această funcţionalitate poate solicita în mod deosebit server-ul, aşa că vă rugăm să nu o folosiţi în exces."

Introduceţi query => Introduceţi solicitare

Trimiteţi query => Trimiteţi solicitare

Alte query-uri în afară de \"SELECT\" sunt accesibile numai pentru dezvoltatorii Wikivoyage." => Alte solicitări în afară de \"SELECT\" sunt accesibile numai pentru dezvoltatorii Wikivoyage.",

Query efectuat => Solicitare reuşită (eventual Solicitarea a fost o reuşită)

Într-adevăr problema asta apare şi pe Wikipedia, şi ştiu că ai bazat traducerea pe WIkipedia, dar o putem modifica totuşi, pentru că aceste chestiuni i le voi pune şi lui Gutza.

Cât despre chestile cu En sigur trebuie înlocuite, pentru că şi în Wikipedia sunt înlocuite. Da aici este o prblemă foarte gravă. Wikivoyageul englez foloseşte ASCII sau ANSI nu ştiu cum se numeşte, Wikivoyage în română trebuie să folosească Unicode:

În fişierul de limbă a Wikipedia în română există această propoziţie:

class LanguageRo extends LanguageUtf8 în loc de class Language. Aici trebuie întrebat. În secţiunea asta vin chestile cu En ce ziceam că trebuie înlocuite cu Ro.

Am înlocuit:

"copyrightwarning" => "Reţineţi că toate contribuţiile la Wikivoyage sunt considerate ca respectând licenţa Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 1.0 license. (vezi $1 pentru detalii).

cu:

NU TRIMITEŢI MATERIALE PROTEJATE DE DREPTURI DE AUTOR FĂRĂ PERMISIUNE! "

Schimbarea asta se va face şi pe Wikipedia română, am vorbit deja de mult cu Gutza. Ideea vine din Wikipedia spaniolă, vezi de exemplu:

http://es.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Ruman%EDa&action=edit

2
fişieră =>fişier. Eu am Windows în română iar termenii folosiţi sunt folder pentru folder şi fişier pentru file.

3
alt timp => altădată

4
image:fişier.jpg => imagine:fişier.jpg

Asta e o greşeală de mult timp şi în Wikipedia română, când îi dai trimite fişier, da văd că nimeni n-a mai observat înafară de mine.

ACELEAŞI MODIFICĂRI I LE VOI PROPUNE ŞI LUI GUTZA PENTRU WIKIPEDIA ROMÂNĂ

Mulţumesc

 * Mulţumesc foarte mult pentru corectări! Am făcut toate corectările alea cu query şi debug... deci cred că scriptul este corect acum. Cu Unicode, am vorbit cu Evan (administrator de la Wikivoyage) despre Unicode şi a spus că el îl va implementa - vrea să-l pună şi la limba engleză. Acelaşi lucru este şi cu En la classLanguage - el mi-a spus să nu editez secţia aia. Astăzi voi face aplicaţie să ne lansăm final cu Ro wikivoyage --- Ronline

& thank you for all of your help in the phrasebook. You can see why I make only tiny edits in the Romanian-language pages... -- (WT-en) Jmabel 01:55, 1 Jan 2004 (PST)

(WT-en) Evan seems to have a problem with my indicating in the Romanian Phrasebook article which sections have and haven't been checked by a native speaker and whether I think a particular sentence might have a problem. He says that belongs in the talk page. I, frankly, think that's silly, since I think anyone using the phrase book in its current unfinished state should see what parts of it should not yet be trusted. Oh, well. I'm not going to get into an edit war, but be aware that if you are going to keep cleaning up behind me, which I would appreciate, you may have to look on the Talk page to see which sections are in what state. Let me know if anything is confusing to you about the state of the work. (WT-en) Jmabel 00:48, 3 Jan 2004 (EST)

 * I think this is on the wrong person's talk page. B-) I don't have a problem with the comments; I just make a point of taking out first-person content in the actual guide.

 * If you want to discuss the article, discuss it on the talk page. That's why we have talk pages. As to having an edit war: it's always better to discuss policies like this than to pass them up. Everybody ends up being better educated. --(WT-en) Evan 01:53, 3 Jan 2004 (EST)

Thanks Ronline for the nice welcome. I can't really write in Romanian very well, but I plan on helping out in translating some of the Romanian-language pages into English. --(WT-en) Anca

I tried to translate Tirana but there are too many little words that are completely different in Romanian than in French or even Italian. E.g. "sau" (L. "sive"?) is "or" but all the other Romance languages I know use "o" or "ou" (L. "aut"). Can you help me make sense of it? -(WT-en) phma 17:19, 25 Jan 2004 (EST)

Go ahead and translate it, and also explain the words. You should be able to tell what I didn't understand by where I left a phrase untranslated. Also a bit of basic morphology (conjugating verbs etc.) would help. Evan moved it, BTW. -(WT-en) phma 20:24, 25 Jan 2004 (EST)

What's the difference between "ceas" and "timp", other than that "ceas" is Slavic and "timp" Romance?

Here's a sentence from Prague: Deşi Cehia este o ţară fostă comunistă, rămâne cea mai bogată ţară din Europa de Est, însemnând că Praga va părea foarte mult ca un oraş din Europa de Vest. Although Czechia is a land former communist, remains ? most rich land ? Europe of East, ? ? Prague ? ? strong much ? a ? ? Europe of West. What's the rest mean? -(WT-en) phma

 * Oh boy, thank you Wikivoyage for giving me some way to get back into trying to understand Romanian! In my experience, "ceas" means "hour" and "watch" or "clock", whereas "timp" is a more general term for "time".

 * The translation for the sentence is probably more like this: "Though Czechia was formerly a communist country, it remains the richest of the Eastern European nations, meaning that Prague appears more like a Western European City."  (This is not a word for word translation, of course...)

 * Does that work? -- (WT-en) Anca

 * Oh, by the way, I have put the translation on Pierre's talk page a long time ago! Have you read it? (WT-en) Ronline 02:57, 30 Jan 2004 (EST)

Hi, I'm still getting used to how the Wiki works... I wonder about you philosophy of translations. Are you trying to get word for word translations, or do you mind if we change things around a bit to make them more natural to English speakers? I'm taking the latter approach, but that's just my personal opinion. Hope that's all right! -- (WT-en) Anca

Software upgrade
Can you let me know if the software upgrade went OK on ro:?

Also, I'm going to use LanguageRo.php to update the language file on ro:. Is that OK? --(WT-en) Evan 01:46, 8 Apr 2004 (EDT)

Sorry to hear this
So, I'm sorry to hear about your decision. I would prefer that you would stick around, and perhaps we can work something out that's amenable to all people.

I'm going to leave all your privileges enabled until you let me know that you're really not going to contribute any more. --(WT-en) Evan 12:20, 15 May 2004 (EDT)

Go-between report for ro:
The last go-between report for ro: was on 12 October 2004 -- almost four months ago. These reports are supposed to happen once a month. Could you please give an update on ro: in the Project:Logbook? --(WT-en) Evan 13:00, 9 Feb 2005 (EST)

 * We're heading into the 6th month, now. Edits on ro: are very, very low. I'm having a hard time not seeing this as an inactive Wikivoyage. --(WT-en) Evan 19:32, 29 Mar 2005 (EST)

 * And again. There's some more activity on ro:, but not a ton. Can you give us an update? Is this language version going anywhere, or is it time to shut it down? --(WT-en) Evan 09:09, 8 Jun 2005 (EDT)

how you open romanian language version later archived?

 * And thanks from me too, great to see articles from places I'm planning to travel to myself! One thing though to correct a common misunderstanding: the "Get out" section is not the opposite of "Get in", it's supposed to mean day trips/excursions/interesting places in the vicinity.  Transport schedules and other nitty gritty still belongs in Get in.

Hi Ront. The syntax you used for the Xiangcheng image is correct -- -- but as far as I can tell that image has never been uploaded (I looked at the 100 most recent images and didn't see anything).

 * Ah, I understand now. Since Wikivoyage isn't an official Wikimedia project there is no easy way to use stuff from commons, and it must also be uploaded here.  There has been some discussion about handling this sort of thing better (I'm feeling lazy, but I think it is still in the Project:Travellers' pub) but at the present time the workaround is still to upload a separate copy to the Wikivoyage server. -- (WT-en) Wrh2 14:36, 22 Oct 2005 (EDT)

Edit warring is something we always try to avoid. If you'd like to discuss your changes here, feel free, and we may be able to make some additions to the Jerusalem article that are a little more neutral. The article notifies travellers about Jerusalem's disputed capital status as they may be looking for embassies, most of which can be found in Tel Aviv.

Hopefully it's an acceptable compromise, and you'll continue to contribute to Wikivoyage in the future. (WT-en)  J ames A    >talk 09:44, 3 June 2012 (EDT)

Hi Roshi! Please always discuss first before removing articles that are listed for vfd. Wikivoyage is based on consensus, so participate in the discussion but respect the opinion of user editors. Thank you (WT-en) jan 10:26, 22 February 2010 (EST)

 * OK, I didnt see everything (i.e. telling me not to delete the vdf's, I'm still finding stuff out. I have began to discuss it on the VDF page and had some decent feedback. I hope that we can get the page kept!

 * Hi Roshi! Please see Project:Consensus and Project:What is an article that are important parts of our policies in more detail. Could you also please sign your entries on talk and community pages with ~ so it is easier to follow the points made by editors? Thank you (WT-en) jan 07:20, 24 February 2010 (EST)

Ok. A few people have now said it should be kept. I know the problem seems to be no hotel. But as I've said in my posts on the VDF there is accomodation. Also I intend to do more work on the article. (WT-en) Roshi08 07:26, 24 February 2010 (EST)

Thank you for your interest in improving our Rome guides, but I have reverted your changes to Rome/South because they appeared to be a copyright violation from " www.flexijourney.com/Rome ". Please note that you cannot copy text from other sites to here unless you are the original author—as a general rule, all text contributions must be in your own words. Thanks! --(WT-en) Peter Talk 16:14, 28 March 2009 (EDT)

Rome South
Peter,

I have never heard of or looked at www.flexijourney.com/Rome. The only copying (in a heavily edited form) was from my own and others contributions to the pages on the Appian Way in Wikipedia. I live in the area and my observations on the 118 bus were based on personal experience and on seeing scores of miserable tourists standing at the side of the road waiting for a bus back to Rome. Please restore.(WT-en) Roundtheworld 06:09, 29 March 2009 (EDT)

 * Parts of your contributions were displayed as a verbatim copy from text on that site—from what you tell me, it is likely that that site had copied the information from Wikipedia. As a general rule, we cannot copy text from Wikipedia, as its GNU FDL license is incompatible with our CC-by-SA license (see Copyleft for more detailed information). If you are the sole author of certain text on Wikipedia, you own the copyright and can therefore copy it to here. If the text, i.e., sentence, has multiple authors, then you should not. I would encourage you yourself to restore those edits which are in full compliance with our site license, and you can do so fairly easily by going back into the history of the article.

 * As I'm sure you noticed, Rome/South could really benefit from attention from a local, and I'm very glad you have taken an interest in improving the article! I hope that these annoying licensing issues are not too discouraging. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 10:26, 29 March 2009 (EDT)

 * Hello again, I noticed that you re-sorted the attractions out of alphabetical order. Would you please leave an note explaining the rationale for this ordering on the talk page of the article. Otherwise someone will doubtless come along again and resort them back to alphabetical order. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 21:01, 5 April 2009 (EDT)

Peter, Quite simply, the sequence follows the road. First comes the walls and the museum, then the catacombs and church, then more catacombs, then the circus etc. This seems to me the most logical way of presenting it.(WT-en) Shep 03:34, 6 April 2009 (EDT)

 * Hey Shep, sorry about the photo removal—purely an accident. I've restored it. I'd also like to reiterate that you are doing really great work on the article, and that I hope you don't view my collaborations with you as being somehow antagonistic—that's not at all my intent. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 16:45, 6 April 2009 (EDT)

Not at all. I welcome your guidance.(WT-en) Shep 14:57, 9 April 2009 (EDT)

 * And to answer the question about use of photos, the policy is here, but is fairly vague. I think I would recommend somewhere between 4–6 photos for a well developed district article, provided the number doesn't start to overwhelm the text. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 16:51, 6 April 2009 (EDT)

Whoops, sorry about that - was cleaning up a 100+ vandalised pages, so I must have accidentally reverted yours - no such intent --(WT-en) Stefan (sertmann) Talk 09:23, 19 April 2009 (EDT)

Well I was about to ask you why the keyhole view was more important than a lot of other things listed for Rome. But it does raise a question: how do you decide what category of heading to use for a particular attraction?(WT-en) Shep 09:28, 19 April 2009 (EDT)

 * is this what your are looking for? --(WT-en) Stefan (sertmann) Talk 09:33, 19 April 2009 (EDT)

Not quite. To give an example, in Rome/Old Rome Piazza Colonna is listed as a bullet point under "See" while Campo dei Fiori gets its own separate listing. Should everywhere be listed under "See" or are some places just so important they need their own heading (like the Keyhole View had before I changed it!)(WT-en) Shep 09:58, 19 April 2009 (EDT)

 * I don't think there are any established guidelines on when to give a sight its own subheader, instead of just a listing. It's a question of presentation, so it depends on whether the quantity of information would overburden a single listing. In the case of Rome/South, the Appian Way looks to me like it might benefit from having its own subheading. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 15:10, 19 April 2009 (EDT)

Image uploads
There is no procedure beyond saving and uploading it (to Wikivoyage Shared), although you should fill out the image credit template to let everyone know where the image came from when you do upload it. For the image to be permissible, it has to have appropriate licensing. What licensing is acceptable? The detailed answer is here, but the short answer is just that it has to match one of the options in the pull-down menu on the upload form. Please let me know if anything is unclear. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 17:27, 21 June 2009 (EDT)

Trobriand Islands
Why do we need sub-headings when there is no information? Apart from anything else there is now a Table of Non-Contents rather than contents. Is this Wikivoyage policy to have all these headings?

In the Trobriands you eat and drink where you stay, so not much point in duplicate listings.(WT-en) Shep 15:02, 29 August 2009 (EDT)

 * In a regional article such as this, those sections are for general descriptions. In the Eat section (a mandatory section), what are the local specialties? prices? Are all the local restaurants in hotels? Are there snack vendors on the beaches, etc. Are there local fruits to try? For the See section (also mandatory), what are the sights to see? any rock formations? temples? something else? In the Do section (not mandatory if there is nothing to do there), surely there are at least some scuba/snorkeling/swimming type options? The Drink section is not mandatory either, but if there are any special beverages popular there they should go here, or just describe generally where to get a drink (bars? beach kiosks?).

Rome for kids
Hi Mr. RoundtheWorld, I'm Eggplant Ninja. Im a 13 year old. I would like to know why you have deleted my Rome for kids edit. Responding back would be great Eggplant ninja

Rome for Kids
A few weeks ago so I don't precisely remember. You added some paras at the end of Rome'' when there was already a Rome for Kids section. So I took bits from what you wrote and inserted them in Rome for Kids. Your contributions about the St Peters Dome and the Vatican Museum are there. Great that you are involved. Try writing for Wikivoyage in a third person style, like in a newspaper, rather than as if you are writing about your own experience.

What do you think about the Rome for Kids section now. Have I missed anything out? (WT-en) Shep 02:33, 4 September 2009 (EDT)

 * It doesn't accept duplicate file names, but shared and English operate seperately in this regard, so there can be two images with the same file name if one is on shared and one is on English. I deleted the original upload over on shared, so we should all be happy dandy now. --(WT-en) Stefan (sertmann) Talk 16:46, 6 September 2009 (EDT)

Cycles and Segways
I removed the bike tour information for two reasons: 1) because those tours violate our policy on tour listings, and 2) because no information on tours should be listed in the Get around section, only in the Do section. The rationale behind point one is that travelers don't need a tour operator to bike around the city, so why not simply direct travelers to places where they can rent a bike, and then let them choose their own itinerary based on what they read in our guides. I absolutely think that we should have information on how to get around by bicycle in the get around section—it just should be geared towards independent travel.

The other reason I've been especially strict about those bicycle tour companies is that we've had a problem with bicycle company spam for some reason across the Italian articles in recent months, so I'm extra suspicious of additions. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 12:41, 16 September 2009 (EDT)

Lakes in Lazio
To respond to your question, I vfd'd Lake Bolsena because it is a body of water which, unlike Lake Tahoe is not set up as a valid region article: The parent region of Lazio is divided into its provinces, not in a scheme which allows for a lake to serve as a subregion. For the same reason, I'm now putting Lake Trasimeno and Lake Bracciano on the list as well. (WT-en) Texugo 04:18, 27 September 2009 (EDT)

Lake Trasimeno
You asked the following question on my talk page - (WT-en) Huttite 05:45, 28 December 2009 (EST)
 * Hi again. What is the point of providing a wikilink to a blank page? Seems to me that anyone following that link would just get pissed off with Wikivoyage. The Isola Polvese page provides less info than is available on the Lake Trasimeno page. (WT-en) Shep 11:08, 27 December 2009 (EST)

My reply:
 * Isola Polvese was an orphaned page that should have been linked into the geographical hierarchy. The Lake Trasimeno article seems the most logical place to link from. I think people would be more annoyed by the fact we had an article about Isola Polvese that nobody had thought to provide a link to it from Lake Trasimeno; I certainly was. Since anyone can edit a page, the lack of information is not a serious problem at the moment. If you think the Isola Polvese article is inadequate, please plunge forward and improve it.
 * To explain further. I am currently placing orphaned pages into the geographical hierarchy. I feel that linking to existing outline articles from their region pages is more important than making destination articles perfect before linking them. At least that way readers know these articles exist and can see each article in its regional context. These are works in progress and are liable to change.
 * In the case of Isola Polvese, I was faced with the problem of finding the best place to link this outline article. The Lake Trasimeno article is the relevant region article that Isola Polvese was identified as an Other destination - so it was the best article to link from.
 * Since you have questioned if that was the right thing to do, I took a closer look at the Lake Trasimeno article. I can see that it does not follow the Manual of style as the long descriptions for each destination which need to be shortened to one line listings and it also has sleep listings for several destinations. Over time I would expect those listings to migrate to their destination articles, once they are written, as should also happen with the information about Isola Polvese in the Lake Trasimeno article.
 * Please note that region guides and other destination guides, such as city and park guides, perform different functions in Wikivoyage's geographical hierarchy. A region guide provides an overview of the destinations in the region, while the city and park destination guides provide the details. This is so that the region guide is not too cluttered with minute details. One implication is that region guides do not usually have a Sleep section, as Sleep listings appear only once each in the respective end destinations. Since being able to sleep there is a minimum criteria for an article, the logical consequence is that the sleep section is redundant in the region guide. - (WT-en) Huttite 05:45, 28 December 2009 (EST)

You further pleaded this subject on my talk page as follows:
 * There has been a lengthy and unresolved discussion on this topic at Project:Bodies of water. Wikivoyagers seem to be split between people like you and Texugo who seem to attach a lot of importance to structure and people like me and Peter Fitzgerald who believe that there can be no hard and fast rules and that rules are made to be broken where appropriate to the local situation. The rules cannot possibly take into account all possible scenarios. Isola Polvese is a little island in the middle of a fairly small lake. In Lake Trasimeno I think I have said all that really needs to be said about it in Wikivoyage. My recommendation would be to delete the page on Isola Polvese. It just isn't needed.(WT-en) Shep 10:51, 28 December 2009 (EST)

and I have responded.
 * You raise several issues in the above plea. I think the issues need to be teased out and dealt with separately.
 * Firstly, I do not think that there would be consensus to delete the Isola Polvese article, for the following reasons.

 * 1) It is probably a valid destination article.
 * 2) Even if it is not a valid destination, it is certainly an attraction of Lake Trasimeno.
 * 3) As a minimum it can be merged with and redirected to Lake Trasimeno.
 * It would also be most helpful if the specific discussion about the need for an article like Isola Polvese was started and continued on Talk:Isola Polvese.
 * Second, I have no problem with bodies of water names being used for regions surrounding, in, or even under, those bodies of water. The problem arises where the article is about the water, not the land.
 * Third, some structure and rules are helpful and we have a Project:Manual of style that most people seem to agree is a good idea to follow. I believe I am following those guidelines, not rules. If you think I am wrong for doing that then please gain consensus for new or different Project:Community policies that meet your needs, and I will try and follow them too!
 * Lastly, it would be a good idea to plunge forward and devote your efforts to improving the Lake Trasimeno region and do something with the Isola Polvese before somebody else does. - (WT-en) Huttite 19:04, 28 December 2009 (EST)

I will be copying relevant parts of this discussion to Talk:Isola Polvese and Talk:Lake Trasimeno too. Please continue it there, or anywhere else where it is appropriate to raise the various issues that arise. - (WT-en) Huttite 19:14, 28 December 2009 (EST)

Patrolling
Hey Shep

As I've just pointed out in the pub and to a few more promising users, at the moment me and Burmesedays seem to be doing the lions share of the patrolling, but the more users involved in this, the less tedious it gets - the ultimate goal is making sure no edits go unpatrolled (per our Recent changes patrol expedition) - About a quarter sometimes up to half the edits on English wikivoyage, are ones that need to be reverted, so it's a pretty essential task to keeping WT clean and useful for everyone.

If you want to help, try go to your preferences (up on the top right), once there select the recent changes tab and check the "Enhanced recent changes (JavaScript)" option. If you go back to the recent changes page now, edits will be grouped together, and edits that has not yet been patrolled will be marked with a red exclamation mark on the left side of the time-stamp in the summary. If there are any red exclamation marks try clicking on "(diff/X changes)" and above the summary you'll be able to click [Mark as patrolled] if everything is in order, or (undo) if it's spam, vandalism or touting - if unsure just leave it and someone else will come along and check it.

Of-course everyone one is welcome to contribute with whatever they feel like doing, just wanted to make sure you knew about his task. The more users involved in making sure there are no red exclamation marks on the recent changes page, the less tedious it get's. Personally I think a good approach is clicking on the "diff/X changes" on everything unpatrolled while holding down the ctrl button to open them all in new tabs, and then just go through them methodically

 * Yes, I'm still learning. I am marking lots of articles as patrolled but not the ones I decide to edit first. I guess after doing the edit I should go back and mark as patrolled? Shep 10:09, 16 January 2010 (EST)
 * Yep, either way. You might find it easier to mark as patrolled before you edit though. Took me ages to get the hang of it, so don't worry :) Thanks again. --(WT-en) Burmesedays 10:24, 16 January 2010 (EST)

 * It's easiest, IMO, to just click the "mark as patrolled" link to open in a new tab, which you can close later, after making your edits in the existing tab. Clicking the link with both the right and left mouse buttons at once will automatically open it in a new tab in the background. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 14:30, 16 January 2010 (EST)

PNG islands
Hi there. You might or might not know that I have put together the Bougainville article (the only place I know from real first hand experience in PNG). After some discussion with Peter and Stefan, this has been done in a slightly non-standard way, but it does seem to work quite well. It is a region but it does not use a region template. All the main destinations are described in the orientation section and not listed as linked cities etc. The reason for that was, I could not see any prospect of creating proper "city" articles, and that the island as a whole (well, 2 islands plus loads of atolls really) would support one reasonable article. I say all that, as it might prove to be some inspiration for other articles such as New Britain. Cheers. --(WT-en) Burmesedays 03:49, 7 May 2010 (EDT)

PNG status
Please see here for the bar on country usable status. PNG cannot be usable as the 9 linked cities and the ODs are not all usable, and there is not a valid region structure in place. The country article itself looks pretty now I agree but the lower level content is largely poor. Sadly, it has to go back to outline.--(WT-en) Burmesedays 22:17, 23 May 2010 (EDT) Oh well, "usable" as presently described doesn't seem too relevant to countries anyway, as it talks about having good listings, and these are not supposed to be part of country articles. What progress with the map? (WT-en) Shep 01:16, 24 May 2010 (EDT)

 * I think you are looking at the wrong usable text. Usable country does not mention listings but is very specific about the 9 linked cities and ODs being usable. On the map, it is basically done.

Hotel restaurants
Hopefully you don't mind, but I restored the restaurant names in this listing. We've had trouble in the past with hotel restaurants/bars being double and triple listed, so having the name in the hotel listing makes it easier to verify that the establishment is only listed once. Additionally, as a traveler it's helpful to know if the hotel dining is a Fleming's or a Denny's as knowing the restaurant types on premises often provides some indication of hotel quality. -- (WT-en) Ryan • (talk) • 16:53, 20 August 2010 (EDT)

 * Unless I'm mistaken, Fleming's is actually a chain of high-end steakhouses, which is why it caught my eye. I'm probably also biased, since living in LA many good restaurants are located in hotels, so I like to know if (for example) a hotel in Hollywood has a specific restaurant that I might not otherwise have realized was associated with a hotel.  That said, I don't feel excessively strongly about this issue, so am more than happy to concede that restaurant names are best left out of descriptions if desired. -- (WT-en) Ryan • (talk) • 12:28, 21 August 2010 (EDT)

 * Actually, I tend to be with you, Ryan. In fact, I'd go farther and say that a restaurant shouldn't be denied a listing simply because it's in a hotel.  (WT-en) LtPowers 22:13, 21 August 2010 (EDT)

Ha! Truly, I am quite proven wrong in this case.

re slovakia

re Marquesas Islands
I am going to create an article for Hiva Oa in couple of days --(WT-en) Maloff 14:48, 8 March 2011 (EST)

Bloc Québécois
Ah, perhaps I should've been clearer; the Bloc is not involved in provincial-level politics, it is only a federal-level party, in the same way that the Parti Québécois, the Wild Rose Party or the Saskatchewan Party could be said to not be involved in federal politics because they only run candidates in provincial elections. Obviously, they do have the same political objectives and do in fact often support each other, but there is no formal link between them and the PQ is quite a bit older than the BQ. I'll reword that to make it clearer.

Canada is a federation, a similar system to the set-up in Germany, Australia, and the U.S., and has a distinct separation between province-level and the national-level government. Each province has its own parliament, government, and Premier, and constitutionally has specified areas of jurisdiction the federal government in Ottawa cannot intrude upon. Provincial parties are often affiliated to federal parties, but not always. For instance the BC Liberal party is quite unrelated in terms or ideology or organisation to the federal Liberal Party. --(WT-en) Powderjunkie 23:01, 8 March 2011 (EST)

Roz, I had to revert your additions to Durban article. You have deleted such large parts of the article and made the section headers and article layout (both of which are standard throughout the site) such a mess that I didn't bother to clean it up line by line. But more importantly, I have detected prose copied word by word from, which is a copyright violation.

Donsol
Hey Raymond, Happy holidays to you too.

It's not so much that it looks better, rather than we have a pretty strict rule that one business only get's one listing. And since we are target of much spamming here, and spend a great deal of time cleaning it up, I don't think you'll find much support for changing this policy. If I made any mistakes with the other listings, please, by all means, clear them up. Manta Bowl seems it should be removed altogether.

Now regarding your hotel, adding yourself to every category simply will not fly, you need to pick one category and list yourself there, be it as a dive resort in do, or a hotel in sleep, but you are welcome to write what else you do in that listing. As a welcome change I did not find your listings particularly touty, but you might want to give our don't tout page a read anyway for some further advice, especially this section

''Don't list the same place many times. Yes, a guesthouse may have a restaurant, a bar, an internet cafe and a dance show, but you need to pick one of "See", "Eat", "Drink", "Sleep" and "Contact" to slot it under. That said, exceptions can be made on a case-by-case basis if, for example, a hotel has a famous, separately named bar or restaurant that also draws significant numbers of non-resident customers. Also note that businesses should be listed in only one article for the town in which the business operates.''

Welcome business owners is another useful page. If you want to provide information on all the other activities available in Donsol, by all means do that. One way of doing this could be to write up a (non listified) prose section in "Do", with the activities available - and then I wouldn't mind terribly much if you sneaked in a mention of your place in the end, something like;

Activities in Donsol has traditionally been limited to watching the whale sharks, but recently many other options have sprung up; like.... yada yada yada...., a good starting point is Giddy's place.

Hope that helps, otherwise use the Donsol talk page for questions, so other experienced users also get a chance chime in with advice on how to tackle this in the best way. --(WT-en) Stefan (sertmann) talk 10:27, 28 December 2009 (EST)

Edits on Minnan phrasebook and Taiwanese
on Talk:Minnan phrasebook you said: I tried to reorganize this page. According to wikipedia, it is more correct to say that Taiwanese is a dialect of Min Nan. Other dialects are Hokkien and Hakka. So on the Min Nan page I thought it would be better organization to create links to Taiwanese, and the others. It has been immediately reverted by Xltel without explanation, which makes me wonder if it was automatic. In the process of doing so the link to the Taiwanese page has been lost http://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Taiwanese. Any advice to a new wiki-er would be appreciated! (WT-en) R s l n 18:39, 20 August 2006 (EDT)

 * Hi R s l n, Thank you for your contributions. First I would like to say we are not Wikipedia and things are done differently here. We are attempting to build a travel guide. The main reason for the revert is our naming conventions and the type of articles we create. If you are trying to create a phrasebook then there is a template for that Project:Phrasebook_template and the article should be named with "Phrasebook" on the end. Also, we attempt to minimize external links and we have a method to link to Wikipedia that puts a link in the left column. I must say I am no familiar with Min nan or Taiwanese, but if there is a need for a Taiwanese phrasebook in addition to the Minnan phrasebook it should be called Taiwanese phrasebook. Again, the needs should be focused upon what a traveler needs to get by with common phrases. Again, thank you for your efforts and contributions. -- (WT-en) Tom Holland (xltel) 19:27, 20 August 2006 (EDT)

 * Okay I understand thanks. I guess I must bring up that the Taiwanese_phrasebook should not be redirected to Min-nan since it is a subclass of the larger Min-nan Chinese language class then. I bring up wikipedia since this is my source of the information. Other subclasses of Min-nan, like Hokkien and Hakka, are not entirely mutually intelligible. Thus when it comes to the main topic of travelling, I'll maintain that Taiwanese_phrasebook is where most of the current information should be kept, Taiwanese being the language spoken in Taiwan. A Min-nan phrasebook would have to include dialects from Southern China, to Taiwan, Hainan, Singapore, Malaysia, and possibly more. (WT-en) R s l n 19:59, 20 August 2006 (EDT)

Hello Rspga! 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.

I've noticed that you added Atlanta to the main page, but I don't think it's quite ready. For instance the Sleep section is empty. We try to make sure that new pages getting links from the front page are as complete as possible. Also they go on at the top of the section, and bump the oldest so that there are only five per continent. You can read more in the Project:Main Page guidelines.

Meanwhile the Main Page is watched pretty closely, so even though I'm leaving your change, somebody will probably remove it pretty soon. If you would like to have Atlanta listed there the thing to do would be to make sure that it's complete, and then maybe mention it on Talk:Main Page... (we try to add somebody elses work to the Main Page usually, not our own.

Anyhow, I hope this doesn't scare you off, because we're really glad you want to contribute!

WikiTravel vs WikiPedia
Please read (and try to understand) the (rather different) Disambiguation page naming conventions. WikiTravel has a different naming convention from WikiPedia because we have a separate page for each place. We use the simplest name possible for the disambiguation page and the use (disambiguators) for all the disambiguated pages. This ensures that when someone links to the simplest name they get the disamiguation page. It saves having a lot of redirects too.... Sorry about the different "rules" (conventions) but it is a different wiki. - (WT-en) Huttite 08:11, 28 Sep 2004 (EDT)

 * I agree. We've arrived at the disambiuation standard here after rather a lot of difficult back and forth.  We like it.  Please check it out.  If you really want to disambig Bethelehem the way to do it would be to make that page a disambiguation page pointing to Bethlehem (Pennsylvania) and Bethlehem (Palestinian occupied territories). -- (WT-en) Mark 15:15, 3 Oct 2004 (EDT)

Bethlehem - Israel or Palestine?
I guess this had to happen sometime re Israel / Palestine, so here goes...... Just wondering what your rationale for moving Bethlehem to Bethlehem (Israel) was precisely.....? The Israelis don't claim Bethlehem as a city, it's within Area A of the Palestinian Authority and will definitely be one of the major urban centres of any projected Palestinian state. I think these points make a fairly good case for simply moving it to a page of its own, i.e. Bethlehem, one that doesn't have any political overtones (neither Israel nor Palestine have to be mentioned and the article can be linked to from either country article)..... But over to you: Please explain. (WT-en) Pjamescowie 15:54, 17 Oct 2004 (EDT)

 * Yeah, you know, contrary to what I said above, we have this in the Project:Article naming conventions

 * "As an exception, if one place is so famous that the disambiguation is a hindrance rather than a help, it remains without a disambiguating parenthesized suffix. Examples: Paris is the capital of France, Paris (Texas) is a nice little prairie town in the US. Los Angeles refers to the large metropolitan area in southern California, and Los Angeles (Chile) refers to the mid-sized town south of Santiago. Peru is the country in South America; Peru (Indiana) is a town in the American Midwest."

 * We could add Bethlehem and London here as examples you know, they are just about this famous. There's a reason for this rule:  We want the guide to be useful for travellers, including when they use the search box, so if somebody types "London" in the box the idea is to send them to the one they probably want London (which gets millions of visitors per day, I don't think any of the other Londons can quite keep up with that).  So just to let you know why somebody is likely to move London and Bethlehem back to where they were. -- (WT-en) Mark 01:18, 18 Oct 2004 (EDT)

Mark's quite right. Both London and Bethlehem are sufficiently famous to warrant their "own name" headings, standing by themselves - we can disambiguate the other namesakes in other ways..... Besides, placing Bethlehem in Israel (moving it out of a Palestinian context) is just plain wrong - it's a fully Arab town, part of Area A of the Authority, projected as an integral part of any future state. Historically, it was supposed to be an internationalised city alongside Jerusalem after 1948, but we all know what happened to that idea.....! I'll move it to a page without reference to politics as testament to that lost opportunity. (WT-en) Pjamescowie 01:45, 18 Oct 2004 (EDT)

(disambiguation)
What is up with Surrey (disambiguation)? There is no need for this page yet, surely. Disambiguation pages should not be like Place(disambiguator) but like Place because that is what everybody is going to write and wikifi first. You can always write a link Place and your problem is solved. Move Surrey to Surrey (England) only when another Surrey is created. Read Project:Disambiguation pages and disambiguation rule 4. Is Surrey really that famous? Proposal for deletion may follow without adequate explanation. -- (WT-en) Huttite 09:16, 9 Jan 2005 (EST)

Washington's Birthplace
Hi - is Washington's Birthplace really a town, region, or park area? According to Project:What is an article I think the information should probably be included in either the nearest town's article, or in the article for the parent region. In addition, please see the Project:Region article template and the Project:Small city article template for stub templates that should be used when creating new city and region articles. Thanks for the contributions! -- (WT-en) Ryan 15:11, 23 March 2006 (EST)

The Route 66 article is becoming absolutely loaded with info -- kudos to you. I've driven portions of it in Arizona and California, but never with a guide to tell me what all of the stops were in the various small towns along the way, so I'll have to retrace the route with your guide in hand. -- (WT-en) Ryan 22:03, 18 Aug 2005 (EDT)

Hi! Great work on Route 66 -- it's coming along nicely. Do you have any insight you might like to add to Talk:United States of America? -- (WT-en) Colin 16:32, 25 Aug 2005 (EDT)

Please contribute your own knowledge to the article. I think most of Wikivoyage would rather see some good sights, restaurants, and shops you know added, instead of information that is already available on Wikipedia ;-) But still thanks for working on the article! --(WT-en) Globe-trotter 18:34, 5 November 2011 (EDT)
