Hello, Samarmagic! Welcome to Wikivoyage.

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

I've recommended Tuul river Nomad's Sacred Valley for deletion, please see Project:Naming conventions and Project:What is an article - and share your opinion on the votes for deletion page. --(WT-en) Stefan (sertmann) Talk 08:53, 28 July 2009 (EDT)

 * OK dude, cut it out already! one listing per business is not a unreasonable proposition in my book, if you keep doing this I'll move forward to blacklist your domain altogether - it's not cool OK? you might also want to have a look at our welcome page for buisness owners and in particular our page about not touting. Regards --(WT-en) Stefan (sertmann) Talk 10:11, 29 July 2009 (EDT)

 * I don't want an edit war, it's frowned upon here and we like to work things out by dialogue on compromise - but it's hard when you don't respond. For your Ger camp, It's a tricky case - since it's not near any city as far as I can gather. Which is why I initiated a discussion here. For now it's listed with a small mention in the Get Out section of Ulaanbaatar - please keep it that way, until a solution is reached, as the text you keeps inserting breaks with our well established Manual of Style. So If you want to be included I propose you engage in dialogue, rather than edit warring - such things could lead to blacklisting if it goes on. --(WT-en) Stefan (sertmann) Talk 10:45, 29 July 2009 (EDT)

Copyright violation - are you the copyright owner?
The content of The River Tuul Nomad's Sacred Valley appears to be a copyright violation. Are you the copyright owner? If so could you please provide evidence. The article also does not meet our manual of style and so could be deleted. - (WT-en) Huttite 05:09, 4 November 2009 (EST)

'''Hi people, there are lots of route to munnar from tamil nadu like from kodaikanal to munnar via theni then pollachi to munnar via udumalpet etc but if you want to enjoy your trip all alone with nature and its beauty means the only route i must specify is pollachi- aanaimalai- valparai- aanaimudi- munnar.

its a good route which has pure rainforest sorrounded by fog all round the year. the scenic beauty is unexplainable in words like many wild animals deer, cheetah, elephants, lion tailes monke, wild buffaloes etc etc and all the ways you will find forest on oneside and tea plantations on the other side with dozens of waterfalls

accompanied. its a good place for friends to trip on bike and for honeymooners its about 140 kms

myself went with my friends for more than three time and we are wishing to trip again by this month end. and friends who are to go on bike take two litres of petrol for your bike coz there s no petrol bunk between valparai to munnar, the last bunk is at valparai.

the interesting fact is, if you wish to step your feet on south india's highest peak 'anaimudi', the only easier route is this one AND also you can visit three dams on your way. warning- after reaching anaimalai fill your car and bike fuels. ENJOY YOUR TRIP FRIENDS........ PREMKUMAR,NEYVELI/ ERODE/CHENNAI/BANGALORE

Deletions in Vancouver/Kitsilano
SamSalmon: Welcome back to Wikivoyage. We haven't seen you for a while! I notice that you've deleted the entries in Vancouver/Kitsilano for Lumière and Feenie's a couple of times recently. As far as I know, both restaurants are still open and information about them is still useful to travellers. Would you please post a comment in Talk:Vancouver/Kitsilano (under "Deletions and conflicting opinions...") about why you think those listings should go? We are better off having a discussion and coming to a consensus than having back-and-forth edits and reversions. Thank you. (WT-en) JimDeLaHunt 03:13, 11 June 2008 (EDT)
 * SamSalmon: On June 27 you again deleted the Lumiere and Feenie's listings from the Vancouver/Kitsilano article with the comment "Lumiere is long long gone as is Feenie's as is Feenie himself." That's not what http://lumiere.ca/ says. Calling Lumiere's number, +1-604.739.8185, there's a message saying they are closed for renovations and will reopen in the fall. Do you have evidence that in fact Lumiere and Feenie's are "long long gone"? (Of course Feenie himself is gone, but travellers don't care so much about that, they care if they can have dinner.) If so, please put it in Talk:Vancouver/Kitsilano.  I appreciate having others contributing to the Vancouver coverage in WikiTravel, but when there are deletions with no edit notes and no discussion in the Talk page, it's hard to distinguish corrections from vandalism.

If material on Negev comes from another site, it has to comply with our policies. If it doesn't, it needs to be removed. Rather than adding the credit in the text of the article (which does not comply with our policies), it is better to remove the content. On the other hand, the name and telephone number of a restaurant doesn't really fall under copyrightable facts. -- (WT-en) Jonboy 15:42, 27 August 2006 (EDT)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Sanderr. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Sanderr~enwikivoyage that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:35, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Reverting
Don't just blindly revert your addition after it's removed. Discuss it, and make a case for why it should be included, or it will only keep getting removed. (WT-en) LtPowers 15:26, 6 July 2010 (EDT)

Re: Rincon Puerto Rico
It doesn't matter if it's the only site or one of a thousand sites. We only link to official web sites, which, in the case of Rincon, is http://www.rincon.org/. Please read Project:External links, which is quite clear about it. (WT-en) LtPowers 09:32, 7 July 2010 (EDT)

What can't be linked here
I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but this is not an advertising site, and in order to best serve travelers, a decision was made not to allow entries for or links to 3rd-party booking agencies. If you persist in posting such entries or links, further action will be taken. Sorry about that.

(WT-en) Ikan Kekek 21:44, 14 August 2011 (EDT)

If that is correct, I would think El Dorado Ranch write-up should be removed as well. It's clearly nothing more than a marketing tool.

Martin.

 * If you see a listing you believe is in violation of Wikivoyage policies, Plunge forward and remove it, giving your reason in your editing summary when you do. But as for your listing, I have reverted it for the third time, and if you keep on reinserting it, your account will be blocked. For your information, the relevant Wikivoyage policies are here: Project:External links and Project:Accommodation listings. (WT-en) Ikan Kekek 22:19, 14 August 2011 (EDT)

If you permanently remove El Dorado Ranch, I will not add our site. But to say I cannot add my site, when the El Dorado Ranch entry reeks of marketing is wrong!!

 * (1) You don't have to wait for me to remove anything; you can do it yourself, as I said. (2) I removed all the listings and explained why in an editing summary. I hope that makes you happy. (WT-en) Ikan Kekek 22:27, 14 August 2011 (EDT)

 * By the way, there may in fact be a way you can post a listing that's OK. Just read Project:Accommodation listings, follow the procedure listed there (posting to the "discussion" page of the relevant article and waiting for a consensus to develop on whether apartment agencies should be listed in that particular article), and if approved, follow the format that's required. I have nothing against you; I just don't want only an advertisement with a link. (WT-en) Ikan Kekek 22:35, 14 August 2011 (EDT)

I clicked on the link you provided and followed the instructions. Instead of a edit, I was supposed to select an "add listing." Thanks for providing the instructions.

 * You're welcome, but it's more than that. You have to post to the "Talk" ("discussion") page for San Felipe to try to get a consensus behind apartment agencies being OK in the San Felipe article. In most Wikivoyage guides, such listings aren't allowed. But there are some places, such as resort towns, where it is reasonable to list them, and San Felipe may indeed be one of the exceptions. You still need to get a consensus for the listing, though. (WT-en) Ikan Kekek 02:52, 15 August 2011 (EDT)

 * I just looked at your listing. You also have to avoid all 1st-person language. Read through this, please: Project:Don't tout. Sorry to put you through all these hoops, but this site has policies that everyone has to follow. All the best, (WT-en) Ikan Kekek 02:53, 15 August 2011 (EDT)

Welcome
Hello SanpeteCounty!

Welcome to Wikivoyage. Thanks for plunging forward so far. If you're going to continue working on Wikivoyage, you may find the tips for new contributors helpful. You should also make sure you understand our copyleft and policies and guidelines. Scanning the Manual of style, especially the article templates, can give you a good idea of how we like articles formatted. If you need help, check out Project:Help and Project:Jargon, and if you need some info not on there, post a message in the travellers' pub or on the talk page for the most appropriate article.

Thank you for your enthusiasm in contributing; however, you may want to read Project:What is an article and Project:Article templates - Maple Canyon may not be a valid article topic unless it is either a park with camping or other lodging like Yellowstone National Park, or if it is a region like Lake Tahoe. If it does not meet either of those two criteria then the information from the article should either be merged into the containing region article (for example Central Utah), or if there is a town near the canyon then article should be merged into that town's article. In addition, Image:Brian Schenck.JPG may not be used without a model release (see Project:Image policy) and if Snowkiting is to be kept then it should probably be made into a travel topic such as Scuba diving. Your contributions are much appreciated, we'd just like to find some way to use them while still following our guidelines. If you have any questions, feel free to discuss on Talk:Maple Canyon or on my talk page. -- (WT-en) Ryan 20:03, 16 March 2006 (EST)

Images
Hello again - you've uploaded a lot of great images, but a few (notably Image:Yuba Map.PNG and Image:Maple Canyon Map.JPG) look like they came from other sources. Can you note the source of each image on its page (view the image and click "Edit") so that we can verify that they all conform with the Project:Image policy? All images must either be in the public domain or else released under a CC-SA license, so if you are the photographer simply add a line such as "Taken by (WT-en) SanpeteCounty" or else state where the image came from and why it is OK to user it here. For reference, here is a list of images that you've uploaded:

 * Image:Skyline.Jpg
 * Image:Heritage Hwy 89.JPG
 * Image:Mt Pleasant.JPG
 * Image:Columbian Mamoth.JPG
 * Image:YubaLake.JPG
 * Image:Yuba North Beach.jpg
 * Image:Yuba Map.PNG
 * Image:Yuba Campsite.jpg
 * Image:Palisade Gorge Shot.jpg
 * Image:Palisade Golf Course.jpg
 * Image:Manti Temple.JPG
 * Image:Temple.JPG
 * Image:Snowkite Launch Site.PNG
 * Image:Brian Schenck.JPG - recommended for deletion due to the lack of a model release.
 * Image:Campground.JPG
 * Image:Box Canyon.JPG
 * Image:Maple Canyon.JPG
 * Image:Climb This!.JPG
 * Image:Maple Canyon Map.JPG

The Utah articles you've created look good - thanks again for your contributions! -- (WT-en) Ryan

 * So it looks like a lot of the images may have come from sources other than you, and since they aren't licensed under a CC-SA license or released to the public domain they unfortunately violate copyright rules and we can't use them here (see Project:Image policy for more details). If you are the photographer of any of these images please note as much so that we can keep those images, and the remainder will be put on Project:Votes for deletion and most likely removed after 14 days.  Sorry for having to remove so much of your work, but copyright issues are a big deal and one that trips up many new contributors.  Hopefully this won't stop you from contributing! -- (WT-en) Ryan 17:12, 17 March 2006 (EST)

 * Since you indicated that you are the director of Sanpete County Travel and are giving permission for use on the site (which I am assuming means you agree to license the images under the CC-SA license) I've update the attribution on all "Sanpete County" images. The images that were marked as (for example) "Photo propery of Richard Olsen" or "Photo property of Palisades State Park" have been marked for deletion since it isn't clear that they can be used under the CC-SA license.  If you have the rights to those photos please let us know so that we can keep them.  Again, thanks for contributing, and sorry to have to get all bogged down in licensing details! -- (WT-en) Ryan 04:45, 23 March 2006 (EST)

VFD
It's okay for you to add copyright info to the images, but deleting the VFD notice does not cancel the vote. Please go to Project:Votes for deletion, find one of the votes for deletion for your images, and then explain there why the image doesn't need to be deleted.

Also, you appear to have labeled a bunch of the images/maps. I don't know what "Taken by Palidase State Park" is supposed to mean since State Parks are not people and cannot possibly take pictures. Additionally, making maps is very hard -- most companies license them from map makers and do not own them, so labeling a map with "Map property of Sanpete County" is a rather surprising claim which could use a bit of explaination about who drew the map. -- (WT-en) Colin 17:31, 17 March 2006 (EST)

Disambiguation and articles
Wow. A lot of work done today. Nice going. Some great pictures. A couple of things to consider:

 * With towns like Manti where there is no other towns anywhere with that name (and in most cases where a name hasn't been used yet, like Moroni), there is no need to use the disambiguator, just name the page Manti. For more, see: Project:Article naming conventions.

 * See Project:What is an article as it explains what gets an article on Wikivoyage, and what doesn't.

I hope that stuff helps you. I'll try to take a look at some of the naming things tomorrow and see if I can help you clean it up. Keep up the good work and thanks for the great contributions. Let me know if I can help at all. -- (WT-en) OldPine 23:09, 1 October 2007 (EDT)

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

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

If you need help, check out Project:Help, or post a message in the travellers' pub. Thanks for contributing!

Before contributing further to Pune you might want to read our External_links policy and Cooperating with World Wiki. We normally link to other Wiki sites via an interwiki link, not a link on the article page. At present we don't have an arrangement to link to Wikia wikis, so your wikia link may get removed, as it is not really travel related. Please also read Where you can stick it as your book suggestion should go in the Understand section, not a Buy section. -- (WT-en) Huttite 04:19, 22 January 2009 (EST)

Urban planning?
If you like urban planning a lot (very anti-suburbs)...

Sometimes a bit snobby, but some good sites to discuss! Ah Warsaw...

Template:QuickbarStadt
Hi Sapphire. I was about to translate the German article on Celle to expand the one here. It includes a handy information box called Template:QuickbarStadt which I was about to create, but I see you deleted it previously. Is there any reason why we can't recreate this - I can see it being used on a lot of articles about towns and cities. --(WT-en) SaxonWarrior 16:02, 3 May 2011 (EDT)
 * Hi, I'm not sure that I understand. Could you show me where it was deleted?  As far as I can recall, a similar template has never been used on the English Wikivoyage and I'm not entirely sure if the English-language community would support it, but if you think it would be worthwhile to have on en:, then I suggest you make the proposal here Wikivoyage_talk:Template_index.  Of course, you could just plunge forward and make it, but then if someone nominates it for deletion, all the work might be in vain, especially since many of those templates require coding to make the geographic markers display correctly, which to be honest is my favorite part of the template since I like the idea of be able to figure out which cities are geographically close to the area that I will be near. -- (WT-en) Sapphire • (Talk) • 19:01, 17 May 2011 (EDT)
 * Ah, I remember. I think that it was because I mistakenly added the template to the English site rather than the German one.  Still, I make the same suggestion as above. -- (WT-en) Sapphire • (Talk) • 19:03, 17 May 2011 (EDT)
 * I've raised it at the Traveller's Pub where there is some support for a simple "regional" box. So I will give it a go when I get time. Thanks for the guidance. --(WT-en) SaxonWarrior 02:14, 18 May 2011 (EDT)

Hello! Sorry for writing in English. As you're an administrator here, please check the message I left on MediaWiki talk:Licenses and the village pump. Thanks, Nemo 19:23, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

Global user pages
Since you deleted your local user page, with the advent of global user pages your user page across all Wikimedia sites is now being copied from meta:User:Sapphire; you may want to update that page to note that you're now a Wikivoyageller. -- Ryan • (talk) • 01:14, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

Memphis
Hi, Sapphire. Please excuse a probably stupid question. I am very new here, and I don't mean this in any way as a criticism. I see that you (long ago) moved the page Memphis (TN) to Memphis. To my uninitiated eye, this would seem to introduce problems, as there are many places named "Memphis," including the original, in Egypt. I have recently discovered Memphis, AL! What am I missing here? All that aside, thank you for all your contributions. Regards, Ragityman (talk) 09:45, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

 * I'm sure Sapphire would excuse my interjecting: When a name is by far most famously used for a particular city, there's no need for a disambiguation in its name. A great example is Manhattan vs. Manhattan (Kansas). Memphis (Egypt) is about a ruin, not a current-day city. Memphis (Alabama) has no article, but Memphis (Texas) does. If you think Memphis (Alabama) might merit its own Wikivoyage article (and please read What is an article first before you decide), add it to Memphis (disambiguation) and start an article about it. (Parenthetically, we don't use abbreviations for states in the names of any article, as a matter of Wikivoyage style.) Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:57, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

Administrator status (Official Notice)

 * A similar message was also sent via e-mail.

Thanks for your service as a Wikivoyage administrator. As you may be aware, our Administrators policy indicates that administrators who have not edited on the English Wikivoyage in over two years should have their administrator flags removed. This is for account security purposes, not a reflection of a loss of trust or any disappointment.

As such, we will be removing your administrator flag on 7 November 2018. Should you wish to retain your status, simply come on back and make an edit! That resets the clock. And if you ever decide to return to Wikivoyage as an active editor, your administrator flag can be restored by request.

If you have any questions or concerns, let me know.

Hello Sapphire!

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

Thank you for contributing to Cincinnati and Munich.

However, I have to ask the question: Is the Cincinnati article better after you edited it than before? I notice you have done a major rewrite of the article but, to me, it seems the poorer for it. Please read our policies, guidelines and templates and the rest of the manual of style before you change too much more; otherwise you might find all your hard work being undone by some (other) merciless editor who follows the guidelines too rigidly. I do like the google local map thingy though - interesting. -- (WT-en) Huttite 21:53, 19 Mar 2005 (EST)

 * I figured out what happened. The page got deleted on your first edit and you appear to have reconstructed it from scratch. If my comment above seems harsh, please accept my apologies. If you have a problem, or anything that bugs you, please ask a question on the relevant talk page. -- (WT-en) Huttite 19:49, 25 Mar 2005 (EST)

 * I think that was the night I began working on that and I was using the trial-and-error method. I think the article is somewhat improved - corrections to false info, and additions.

 * Fortunately the trial-and-error method works well on Wikivoyage. If you make a mistake then you, or anyone else, can go back into the page history and work out what was changed and even resurrect the original text. Mind you, if all else fails you can always read the manual or even (re)write it! -- (WT-en) Huttite 05:35, 16 Apr 2005 (EDT)

Cincinnati
Thanks for all the effort you are putting into Cincinnati. I notice you removed the message. Unfortunately the Cope and Get out sections do not have any content yet, so, technically, the article is still a stub article. As you seem to know a lot about the city, if you can put something into the Cope and Get out sections then that would polish the article off nicely - at least as a small city.

The Cope section is for tips for surviving in town, like the public laundry, hairdressers, and all those myriad of services one cannot do without.

The Get out section is for ideas for travelling on, such as the next destinations in a roadtrip or daytrips, etc.

There are also some other missing template sections, like Buy, Learn and Work, so there is plenty more that it is possible to contribute. -- (WT-en) Huttite 19:44, 25 Mar 2005 (EST)

 * I added to the Cope section and the Get out section. I also added a "Learn" section. I didn't add a work section, because I wouldn't know where to begin. Most people I know who move to Cincinnati just start working at restaurants and then go from there. The google thing wasn't my idea. I have no idea who added that. - (WT-en) Sapphire

Good work
Cincinnati's looking really good now! Welldone ^_^ -- (WT-en) Lionfish 23:25, 05 Mar 2005 (BST)

Who needs qualifications?
I disagree with the claim on (WT-en) your user page that you feel you must be about the only person without a degree or professional qualification to edit articles on Wikivoyage. What good is a qualification here anyway? They do not give courses in writing for Wikivoyage as far as I know. And, as one professor warned me, a qualification only proves you can pass exams and might also show you can think! You do not need a qualification to edit Wikivoyage, just an Internet connection that allows you access to edit. I see many contributions to Wikivoyage and some make me wonder if the contributor even had a proper education, let alone a degree. Unfortunately, most of those contributors are anonymous and I never know their names or educational background. However, their raw gems of contributions are lovingly polished (or beaten) into shape by other contributors. What you finally see is the collective work of many people. A few of us are even brave enough to identify ourselves by having a user page. Perhaps having a qualification also gives some people the courage to start a user page. While it appears a lot of people here have a degree or qualification, that fact does not mean you need one to contribute here. You may know things that nobody else thinks important (because it would be here otherwise). Keep up the good work because making good contributions is all you need to contribute successfully to Wikivoyage. -- (WT-en) Huttite 05:35, 16 Apr 2005 (EDT)
 * I would disagree with that too, but, fortunately I don't, because that not what I meant. I just noticed a lot (that has now changed as I've realized the full scale of WikiTravel) users are in computer related fields. I'm currently in the field of gathering money to go on an eagerly anticipated North American train journey. I noticed that you (and I'll quote you, because I like the way you worded it) "For a living, I persuade computers and other electonic systems to explain what humans have been doing with them so I can explain that to other humans." I wish I could persuade this computer to do the things I wanted it to do, unfortunately, some family members believe in the "violence and technology DO mix" fix it method.
 * Anyhow, I agree with you. Its part of the reason I like WikiTravel. I dislike how some companies and organizations require you to have a degree to obtain a position with them. I.e. Travel companies that sometimes require you to have a journalism degree. Maybe it would help, but there are pleanty of people I think who are well traveled and have an amazing grasp of the English language. For example a guy name Jawad - (his website) www.smilingterrorist.com, hopefully he's worked out the kinks that is friend added to his site.
 * BTW, is there an easier way to make the "|" character without copying and pasting?
 * -Thanks, -(WT-en) Sapphire 18:33, 16 Apr 2005 (EDT)

 * As I quoted above Qualifications prove ... you can think. Employers want someone they know they can trust to do a good job. Many think a qualification demonstrates this without appreciating it only proves the student was only able to pass the exam(s) that they sat on the day they sat them. I do not have a degree in computer science, but one in electrical engineering. Although I can read the circuit diagram of a computer, and probably construct one from its component parts; all my ability in persuading computers to do things has been learned on the job and through reading the manual or help file - out of need and necessity. My current and several previous jobs have required knowledge of Law, Accountancy, Politics, Mathematics and Computer Science as much as Engineering, although I only studied the last two subjects generally in my Engineering degree course, the rest of my knowledge has been gained though experience. A few years ago I was told I did not have the commercial experience for a job as an engineer and now wonder if I should be taking a degree in accounting or law (to support my experience) so I can be an engineer! I suspect that I would then be considered overqualified and still not get the job! In my experience, qualifications are often a way for personnell recruiters to eliminate the apparently (un)qualified from the shortlist for a job interview. Once you get a job, how relevant are the qualifications - really? Fortunately Wikivoyage is voluntary and you do not need to an interview to contribute - your qualifications are not relevant - your contributions are.
 * Concerning the application of violence to technology - yes they DO mix but the person gains only a psychological benefit, though possibly at a physical cost due to the damage caused by the application of (reasonable?) force to the technology. Complaints of the resulting damage (physical and psychological) should really be directed to the engineers who originally designed or developed the technology in the first place as it is obviously not fit for its purpose - unless their intention was for the technology to cause frustration and thereby make it the subject of violence in order to release frustration. Perhaps this is why Bill Gates appears to be one of the most reviled men in the world and you cannot throw a computer a hundred meters with a snow plough (Like HP once claimed for one of their calculators.) and expect it to continue operating.
 * BTW the "|" character on my keyboard is Shift-"\" and is located between the backspace and enter keys just to the right of the "}" or "]" key.

Persuading your computer to do the things you want it to do
Hi Sapphire, just so you know there is a way to get your computer to do what you want it to do. Just download a Knoppix CD image and make a CD. Then put it in your computer and reboot, et voila: the computer will work better than ever before. The CD doesn't install anything, so when you take the CD back out the computer will be just the way your other family members are used to. -- (WT-en) Mark 01:06, 17 Apr 2005 (EDT)

Books
On my Talk page, you asked ''... is there an appropriate place in the guide to suggest books pertaining to a destination. Maybe a "Read" section? Thanks. (WT-en) Sapphire 00:37, 19 May 2005 (EDT)''

 * My reply : Have a look at Project:Where you can stick it. Newspapers go in the Understand section, so perhaps appropriate books might too. But also look at Project:External links and Project:Contributor research links first.  If you are suggesting a particular book for a particular location then there should be a good reason to recommend it - otherwise someone will remove it. BUT perhaps the best place is to first propose and discuss including a book on the article Talk page. -- (WT-en) Huttite 06:57, 19 May 2005 (EDT)

 * I know there was a reason I asked that - a really great book I came across. Ah ha! I remember Glacier National Park. Thanks

How to link from one section to another
You asked: Huttite,

Can you tell me how to make a link that takes a reader to a different part of the same article?

''Thanks. (WT-en) Sapphire 22:15, 9 Dec 2005 (EST)''

 * Add refered part as the link - this displays as refered part.

 * For example this section - this section.

 * See Project:Article_naming_conventions where there is a brief comment. - (WT-en) Huttite 01:17, 11 Dec 2005 (EST)
