User talk:(WT-en) Kitsap

Hello Kitsap!

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.

Please be aware that copying material from http://visitkitsap.com/ is a violation of copyright - unles you have the rights to do so. Please read Copyright details for the full story. Continuing to simply copy content without editorial input will result in all your contributions being voted for deletion. Please also look at our Article naming conventions and Project:External links guidelines. Some of your articles are named incorrectly and you are not linking to primary sources. -- (WT-en) Huttite 23:53, 18 Nov 2005 (EST)

Links to kitsap.com
Many of the pages that you have added today appear to have been copied from kitsap.com. That means they are copyright violations! Unless you can show - here - that you hold the copyright to re-publish the content of kitsap.com then other Wikivoyage will consider it a copyright violation. Also your links to kitsap.com do not follow our Manual of Style. If you persist on not following our guidelines then other users will continue to delete or change your work. Please respond here to stop this happening. -- (WT-en) Huttite 01:23, 19 Nov 2005 (EST)

Response
I wrote the sections of the VisitKitsap.com site I used. What do I need to do to show that?

For most of the 32 communities on the Kitsap Peninsula the individual city pages on VisitKitsap.com are their primary tourism sites. I see the point, but how do I do it correctly? My thought was to get the basics up and then I will go through city by city and add more content and additional links to all the various sites.

Thank you.

 * Thanks for advising that you are the author of the content you have been adding. However, even if you are the author, copyright law does not automatically give you the right to take what you have written for one organisation and publish it using another. Because the owners of the website VisitKitsap.com have published your material on their website the presumption is that they have the publishing rights. Unless you have an a contract or letter that says you either have the right or their permission to republish what you have written for them elsewhere then copyright is presumed to be with VisitKitsap.com - even though you wrote it! Proving it might require posting a copy of your employment contract or letter of authorisation, that says you can republish the material you wrote, as a scanned image. Alternatively, a copyright notice on the website that says how the content can be redistributed would be helpful. At present there is no copyright statement on the website so that means the copyright is exclusive until shown otherwise. -- (WT-en) Huttite 02:06, 19 Nov 2005 (EST)

 * As for getting things up and going. The content is certainly a base for starting Wikivoyage pages. I would suggest keeping the first line or so, which seem to follow Wikivoyage's format for saying a Place is in region, but then removing or editing the text that is a copy of that on VisitKitsap.com to match the Wikivoyage style and template layout. Put the URL links to the individual VisitKitsap.com pages into the Discussion page, so we do not lose them. Because these links are not the base URL they may change over time. They will also get removed accidentially if it is not clear that the URL refers to the official tourist information for the page. This is more likely to happen when the link identifier is a number not a place name - (tip for website designers here! Make URLs meanigful.) So unless you know of a better way to link to the individual pages that does not depend on a database ?id= number, then it may be best if they are left out of the article.

 * Sorry if this puts a dampener on all your hard work, but if it is not addressed now it will come back to haunt us later. -- 02:28, 19 Nov 2005 (EST)

 * PS To sign your name add ~ to the end of your comments and it will expand into your user name and a date and time stamp.

Good morning! I am not sure of where to respond - this is my page? Will someone see this respons? I have made a few modifications and additions to Bainbridge Island. Let me know if I am on track and I will add more in the other categories and cities. (WT-en) Kitsap 12:01, 19 Nov 2005 (EST)

 * Commonly the response should be on your own page so that the conversation will have a natural flow. Likely Huttite will think to check on your talk page next time he logs on since he started the conversation.  It is reasonable, though, that after a few days without response you may want to go to his talk page and point out that you've responded.  Very likely his own talk page is on his watchlist and will be noticed quickly.  Go ahead and continue your conversation here.  -- (WT-en) Ilkirk 12:58, 19 Nov 2005 (EST)

New Articles
Just as a note - you don't have to create every new article with (Washington) in the name. We only specify something like the state when there is another place in the world by that same name. It may be best if dig through the links that are in the Welcome message at the top of the screen, looking mostly at the Manual of Style.

You can find out about the naming schemes I mentioned above here: Project:Disambiguation pages.

Thanks for your hard work - all together everything will get smoothed out. -- (WT-en) Ilkirk 12:56, 19 Nov 2005 (EST)

Help Please
I meant to add Washington to all the cities I am working on (on the Kitsap Peninsula - washington state) so that they would not be confused with other communities with the same name in other areas - some were and someone else added the Washington, so I just did it to all of them. But, of course now there are two pages - such as Poulsbo, and Poulsbo (Washington). When doing searches only the blank Poulsbo comes up and not the Poulsbo (Washington). I thought I was editing, not adding a second page. How do I delete these older pages? thank you, anyone. (WT-en) Kitsap 13:04, 19 Nov 2005 (EST) PS - seems easier to get the Washinton in now, instead of later when there may be more links set up. Befair, for example is not the only Belfair in the country and certainly not the world, etc. Others you just never know what might be out there.

 * Hi Kitsap. Usually we only specify the geographical hierarchy of an article in it's title when we absolutely have to in order to disambiguate the destination from another destination with a similar name. If Poulsbo is the only Poulsbo then that should be the name of the article too.  If on the other hand there is another Poulsbo then perhaps we need disambiguation.  Still, under our system the most famous destination with a given name should be just the name.  See London and London (Ontario) for a prime example. -- (WT-en) Mark 13:38, 19 Nov 2005 (EST)

Yes, but now that I have the two pages, how do I get rid of the plain Poulsbo, and keep only the Poulsbo (Washington)? (WT-en) Kitsap 14:50, 19 Nov 2005 (EST) - PS - since so many cities are yet to be added and any city on the Kitsap Peninsula is probably going to be the smaller, less recognized city, it seems only common sense to add (Washington) now instead of having problems in the future?????

 * Make sure that the information is on the page that is named correctly - that's the first step. If you aren't sure of a second Poulsbo in the world, then put the information there.  It's really not that difficult to correc this in the future if we find a second one.  On the page that is not named correctly, go through the process to vote for deletion.  -- (WT-en) Ilkirk 14:56, 19 Nov 2005 (EST)

 * You should keep Poulsbo and redirect Poulsbo (Washington) to Poulsbo. In the Article naming conventions the advice is to use the shortest name. There is no need for the (Washington), unless and until we get 2 articles about different places called Poulsbo. But if they are already there leave the names alone until you have finished developing one of the articles and redirected the other. So we do not get confused. -- (WT-en) Huttite 15:02, 19 Nov 2005 (EST)

 * Ok - I see your problem. You have developed Poulsbo (Washington) but we want at Poulsbo. At this time keep developing Poulsbo (Washington) even though everything is pointing to Poulsbo. I will drop in a Redirect on Poulsbo and we might be able to move the page there later - if needed. The most important thing is to ONLY develop one page. -- (WT-en) Huttite 15:07, 19 Nov 2005 (EST)

 * I said this on my talk page but I think it is worth repeating here. Please stop creating more articles with (Washington) as you will create a rod for your own back. Develop the original 32 article names. The only issue I have is that the ORIGINAL content was dubious, but that can be changed... However, once names are created they are a pain to manage if they are duplicates - as we are all just learning now! Decide on one name to use - preferably the shortest name and ONLY develop that one. ONLY develop an article with (Washington) in the article name IF there is ALREADY another place in Wikivoyage. -- (WT-en) Huttite 15:17, 19 Nov 2005 (EST)
 * Reading this later: So I broke my own rules and didn't follow my own advice fixing this - but it seemed easier to go with the flow at that stage and was easier to fix. In the future the pages can be moved back but that is in the future - possibly the far future. The pages exist and the articles are there and linked. This advice is really meant for new pages. -- (WT-en) Huttite 23:22, 19 Nov 2005 (EST)
 * OK! I have just redirected most of the places in the list in the section above to the pages with (Washington) in the article name. Guess what! The ONLY place WITHOUT (Washington) in the title that NEEDS (Washington) in the title is Bangor! This is of course an example of Murphy's Law in action! And it should really be called Bangor (Kitsap) according to OUR rules. So I will move that page there and create a disambiguation page. Then you should be all go.
 * One question: some of these places are pretty small - can someone find (rent) a place to sleep there overnight? Buy a meal?? If one cannot sleep there it is doubtful the place makes it as a destination and it just becomes an attraction on the Kitsap Peninsula page. I will let it go for now, but do not be surprised if someone later merges the pages. To stop this happening, say all you can about these places. -- (WT-en) Huttite 16:35, 19 Nov 2005 (EST)
 * Bangor disambiguation page now created. You might like to look at it. It even surprised me how many places are called Bangor. In the future if you want to add (Washington) or (Kitsap) or anything else inside "(" and ")" to the end of a place name please be sure a page exists of the same name but without the "(" and ")" and a link to the disambiguated name - the one with "(" and ")" - is on that page. It can either be a Redirect page or a Disambiguation page - but it saves confusion and double entry. - (WT-en) Huttite 17:57, 19 Nov 2005 (EST)

Apology if I confused you
I am sorry if this has been confusing and rather overwhelming to you but I hope this experience does not put you off. I can see you have done lots of hard work and want to share it. The thing that made me take action was the 32 new articles you added in an hour. That sort of volume attracts attention as it looks like spam. Unlike an ordinary website, Wikivoyage is like being on live TV, where everyone watching can see what you are doing. Most of the time we just watch what is happening and let things go by. Sometimes we see things happening that should not be - that is when we become policemen and step in to sort out the mess. Most of the time, such as in your case, it is a little problem where some advice is needed.

Keep editing your Kitsap pages with the "(" and ")" in the titles. I have redirected all pages to these. However you do not need to have "(" and ")" in titles unless there are 2 places with the same name.

I also admit I may have confused you. I did move the places you had ended with (WA) to (Washington) as "WA" is also the state code for Western Australia and Wikivoyage is read around the world, not just in the USA. (BTW:I am in New Zealand - half a world away from Kitsap!) I realise you may not have been aware of any of this, So I apologise for confusing you.

I have also read back over your responses. - Yes you respond on this - your talk - page. You can tell us anything you want about yourself on your (WT-en) user page - though it is public. So you might just want to say that you wrote the content for VisitKitap.Com at - this stage - though it makes a good story if you also tell us how you came to write it and what your relationship with Kitsap is - like you live there and obviously love the place. All in all I think you are doing well and getting the hang of things around here. I look forward to reading the finished articles - they have started out pretty well - all things considered. That said it is almost Sunday lunchtime here in NZ and time I got breakfast. -- (WT-en) Huttite 17:57, 19 Nov 2005 (EST)

Thank you!
Yes, I'm confused

No, I won't be discouraged

Yes, I will get better

I need to reread what everyone wrote, look at the pages and I will eventually figure it out and get better. I will also add something to the page about me. As an FYI - I am the Director of Tourism Development for the Kitsap Peninsula Visitor & Convention Bureau. The VisitKitsap.com website has been my "baby" - I am not a web developer, but I worked with a wonderful company and helped with the concept and design. I wrote most of the copy, took most of the pictures and work on it daily. I live on the Kitsap Peninsula, love it, and earlier added to wikipedia (sp?) and do need to go back and improve, but recently heard about this site and thought it an even better place to talk about Kitsap.

My thought is to get it set up (all comments and help appreciated!) get the basics down - get in the lodging, museums, etc and then encourge others in our area to add. This is a beautiful place, close to Seattle, but a ferry ride away.

Back to the photo part - I took most of the photos on VisitKitsap and will be adding some of those and others I have taken and not used anywhere else. Can you point me to the area that talks about how, what, how many, format for uploading photos? I won't get to this part for a while (swamped at work) but give me some time!

Thanks again for the help!

Welcome
Hi. I just wanted to stop in and say thanks for your contributions on the Kitsap Peninsula and the communities there.

It's one of my big hopes that regional experts like yourself will take the time to work on guides for their regions. I think that having well-written travel guides available for towns and regions can be a big help for local tourist industries. And, obviously, it's indispensible for travellers.

I think that we can leave it up to you and your employer that you understand our copyright policy and that you're willing to release the contributions made here under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license.

Thanks again for your work and please feel free to ask me or any other Wikivoyager if you need a hand. --(WT-en) Evan 12:54, 20 Nov 2005 (EST)

Wikivoyage update
Hi Kitsap,

I don't know if you have been keeping up with the wikivoyage website, but it is out of beta and operating in the real world. I'm a part time resident of Kitsap and have added to some wikipedia articles but my real project has been wikivoyage and Kitsap has become one of my pet projects. I realized as I've been working that much of the info that I've been working with was added by you and it looks like it was originally from the visit Kitsap website.

I'm trying to get it all up to the wikivoyage standard and it is unfortunately a bit of a challenge, like fitting a square peg in a round hole. I hope you will take some time to browse through some of my changes and additions. Its still got a ways to go but I think its well on its way to becoming a star article. If you have more photos that you could add to wiki commons it would really help fill in some of the gaps. Lumpytrout (talk) 21:48, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

User talk:(WT-en) Kitsap and Beyond

Welcome to Wikivoyage (and thank you for creating a user account - you've already done better than a lot of newcomers who are business owners to this website). We have an introductory page for business owners--please take a minute to read it before going on with your edits.

Following your recent edits in the Seattle pages, I would highly recommend looking at Project:Don't tout, particularly the section Advertising & SEO. Also be sure to look at our guidelines for Tour listings - your recent edits were removed because they did not comply with our guidelines. In order for a tour to be listed on Wikivoyage, it has to constitute a value-added activity - meaning the average traveler couldn't reasonably fulfill the substance of the tour themselves.

So please look through those pages, and I hope you enjoy using Wikivoyage! If you need any further help contributing, don't hesitate to drop me a message on my talk page. (WT-en) PerryPlanet Talk 13:10, 23 October 2010 (EDT)

 * Well, the first thing I'd recommend is don't put your tour on the Seattle page - any tours on the Seattle page should be for tours of Seattle (also, I think some of the tours on there now aren't supposed to be there; I have to clean some of those out). Rather, stick to the places where the tour actually takes place (so for instance, Bainbridge Island). Next, when adding the listing, focus on places/things your tour sees that the average traveler can't reasonably access on their own - looking at your website, I'd say that Bainbridge Island electric boat tour would be your best bet: most travelers to the area could easily get a car, bring it on the ferry, and drive around the island themselves. But far fewer travelers have the dough to get their own boat and tour the island. This is what we mean by "value-added activity" - while there are certainly plenty of worthy bus tours out there, we don't list them because to have them all crammed into our guides would just be too messy and turn it into a phonebook, rather than something useful for the traveler. I hope this helps. :) (WT-en) PerryPlanet Talk 16:14, 23 October 2010 (EDT)

 * I'd add to the above:

 * Adding your tour to multiple articles will run afoul of our Project:Don't tout policy and will be seen as advertising by many editors here. Most people who patrol Special:RecentChanges and see listings for the same company added to multiple articles will revert those additions - Project:Don't tout has the rationale.
 * Our Tour policy is designed to prevent listings for travel agencies, walking tours, "local experts" and other problematic contributions we've seen in the past. It's overly restrictive, but attempts to loosen those restrictions in the past have resulted in a much higher signal-to-noise ratio than was sustainable.  If you run a boat tour of Puget Sound or something similar then you are probably OK under the "traveler cannot complete the tour on their own" portion of that guideline, but if you're listing a tour that a traveler with a decent guide (such as - hopefully - Wikivoyage) could do on their own then it's likely to be reverted.

Hello Kitty the Random!

Welcome to Wikivoyage. If you want to specialize your experience you may want to consider editing your preferences. Please take a second to look at our copyleft and policies and guidelines, but feel free to plunge forward and edit some pages. Scanning the Manual of style, especially the article templates, can give you a good idea of how we like articles formatted. If you're new to the whole wiki community look at the Wiki markup to get an idea of how to use the wiki markup. If you need help, check out Project:Help, and if you need some info not on there, post a message in the travellers' pub.

If you are a Wikipedian, or have previously used Wikipedia, then you may notice some differences in the style of our articles. Some of the changes are:
 * "Village Pump" -> travellers' pub
 * "be bold" -> plunge forward
 * "sandbox" -> graffiti wall
 * "stub notes" -> Article status notes
 * "External links" -> We do not use a separate external links section, but incorporate them into the text.

Thank you for contributing. -- (WT-en) Andrew Haggard (Sapphire) 23:53, 3 June 2006 (EDT)

I noticed your contributions to Niagara Falls (New York), but I had to remove them. First of all, you removed several existing restaurant listings. Why would you do this? Other people put those listings there and we want our readers to have that information.

But more importantly, the listings you added to the article all appeared to be taken verbatim from the websites of the restaurants and hotels you listed. Phrases like "visit our hotel" and "enjoy our hospitality" are dead giveaways; we write in the third-person here, not the first-person. We don't want to sound like touts or Public Relations people associated with these businesses. We want to sound like tourists who are recommending a great place.

If you really like one of these places and want to write your own text about them, please feel free! But be sure to follow our guidelines!

 * Please discuss on the Talk page before moving major articles! (WT-en) Jpatokal 01:56, 7 August 2006 (EDT)

Stubs
I noticed you creating a lot of stub articles. Have you noticed the links above the article that say:

City | Major City | City District | Region | National Park | Phrasebook | Disambiguation | Talk Page

If you click on them they will automatically pre-fill the article with the standard sections. People are more likely to add information to an outline because there it is obvious where information goes. -- (WT-en) Fastestdogever 14:54, 26 April 2007 (EDT)

Redirects
While it's helpful to have redirects for common alternate spellings, and I appreciate your effort to be thorough, I think you may be overdoing it a bit with redirects to El Aaiún. For example, because this is the English-language version of Wikivoyage, the spellings used in other languages aren't likely to be used here. Instead we'd rather make sure the name is spelled correctly and consistently in all articles, rather than create redirects for every possible way a city's name can be spelled. And as a general rule, we don't create redirects using alphabets other than the Latin one, because articles on the English-language Wikivoyage will never be spelled with it. - (WT-en) Todd VerBeek 22:53, 29 April 2007 (EDT)

 * The Arabic redirect is definitely not the sort of thing we normally do, but a dozen Latin-alphabet variations for Smara and nearly 30 for El Aaiún seems excessive as well. Generally speaking, all that's needed is to create a redirect for the standard spelling without diacritical marks (in this case El Aaiun), to help people who don't know how to type those characters.  For a city that's often referred to in English texts by another version of the name, that can be helpful too.  Granted, Arabic names are going to need a few more variations than, say, French names because they aren't transliterated consistently, but it's not our responsibility to think of every possible misspelling with every diacritical mark. - (WT-en) Todd VerBeek 23:30, 29 April 2007 (EDT)

 * I understand your point about inconsistent latinization of Arabic names. The only disagreement we have is that I'd just stick to the most common variations.  It's a judgment call. - (WT-en) Todd VerBeek 20:15, 30 April 2007 (EDT)

Western Sahara
Greetings and also apologies for having deleted much of the information you added to the Western Sahara article. As interesting as it was, it unfortunately was incompatible with Wikivoyage's style of listing places, which is aimed solely at providing information that is of benefit to travelers. Therefore, unlike Wikpedia we do not list towns in grid format with estimated populations etc. In addition, an article should avoid contentious political statements. If a region has disputed territory, the situation can be explained briefly in the Understand section, but basically we should not lose site of the ball: to provide info from a traveler's view point. In short, the country that issues the visas is the one under which the territory should be listed. For example, whatever Beijing or the UN says about Taiwan, it is Taipei that issues visas to travelers visiting the island and so Taipei, Kaohsiung and other cities are listed under Taiwan, not China. Anyway, before you proceed with other edits, you might find the information discussd in this articles of interest: Project:Manual of style, Project:Article naming conventions and Project:The traveller comes first. Anyway, thanks for your contributions and apologies for deleting many of them. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Cheers. (WT-en) WindHorse 01:39, 30 April 2007 (EDT)

I deleted your article for Golden Flower Hotel Bandung, because it does not satisfy our requirements for article status. You are more than welcome to add your hotel to the appropriate city article, but first please take a look at Project:Don't tout and Welcome, business owners. Thank you. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 04:58, 4 May 2009 (EDT)

 * Please stop re-creating that article for your hotel. If you persist, I will add your site to our spam blacklist. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 03:38, 7 May 2009 (EDT)

 * OK, I've now added your hotel's website to our spam blacklist. This will hurt its search engine ranking. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 03:44, 7 May 2009 (EDT)

Unprofessional Reputed Iranian Nature Tour Company (Iran-EcoTour)

The Iran-EcoTour company (Eco Expert Ltd) in Tehran, Iran is an eco tourism nature company. They were established 1998 to promote Iran's eco tourism attractions and to improve bio-cultural attitudes among people, both locally and internationally, and to pave the way for interested tourists. They claim to have received approval from the three top Iranian Tourism Training Centres, the Iranian Cultural Heritage and Tourism Organisation and hold classes and training courses about nature and its value.

Mr Ali Adhami, the board of directors in the Iran-Ecotour’s website says: "We guarantee well- equipped, selectively catered, safe and eco- friendly trips."

http://www.ecotour-iran.com/about_new.htm

On 10 August 2007, I took my mother and her friend on EcoTour’s one day trekking trip to Kondelus Village. Unfortunately the company hired a mini-bus driver who was not familiar with the road to Chaloos that has a series of dangerous winding sections and tunnels. As a result, the bus driver hit the wall of Tunnel No 6. As a result of the resulting huge impact, my mother fell over and was badly injured, she suffered shock of accident and injuries to her foot.

My mother needed financial assistance for medical treatment, but Ecotours told us they would pay nothing towards the cost as all the expenses would be paid for by the driver’s Third Party Insurance. This contradicts what Ecotours have told passengers that whoever travels with them is insured for 1,000,000 tomans for hospital, doctors’ expenses. I feel that they contradict themselves because they try to escape from their responsibility toward my mother and myself and other passengers.

Since 10/08/07, NOBODY from Iran-EcoTour Company (Dr Houman Jowkar, Dr Houshang Ziaie, Dr Bijan Farhang Darreh-shouri, Mr Ali Adhami), and tour leaders (Mr Mohamad Manzarnejad, Mrs Azadeh Jouhari, Mr Ali Islam) has contacted my mother by any means and asked her how she was! i.e.-Was she alive or dead ! Apparently one of the EcoTour's director cares more about Iranian Cheetah rather than take care of my old injured & traumatized mother!!

'''I wonder what Iran-Ecotour's response would be if my mother had been a foreign tourist traveling with them? Do you think it would be different?'''

Hello Komponist! Welcome to Wikivoyage.

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

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

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

Unfortunately your contribution of Low Tatras appears to have been copied verbatim from Wikipedia. Because Wikipedia and Wikivoyage have different goals, styles, article formats and incompatable copyright licences it is usually not appropriate to copy a Wikipedia article to Wikivoyage, (even if you were the sole contributor and could claim original copyright). In any case, the information you have provided about the Low Tatras probably should be rewritten to match our manual of style and merged with other information about the Tatra Mountains of Central Europe. - (WT-en) Huttite 06:05, 15 January 2010 (EST)

Thanks for contributing to Bangkok. But I thought what was written about the fights being unfair, as in numbers against, was more relevant than the style of fighting. Just because a fight is dirty does not necessarily mean it is unfair - if both fighters accept the same rules apply to each of them, then the fight is still fair, just its dirty too. If you are outnumbered 10:1 then that's is unfair. I'm thinking you should also Avoid negative reviews, so I'm undoing your deletion, and perhaps the rest of your edit, I think. - (WT-en) Huttite 05:54, 31 January 2009 (EST)

I really liked your blog entry about Wikivoyage and figured I'd respond here to some of your questions.

 * 1) The "seed content" is not the Project:CIA World Factbook 2002 import. We started with a number of personal articles in July 2003, and as we progressed we realized we were going to need an over-arching strategy for geographical information. We used the CIA World Factbook as a basis for this framework, but there were already a lot of articles on the site when we got the import going.
 * 2) The factbook data is not all HTML. There's a fancy "quick facts" table in each country page, and that is HTML, because MediaWiki didn't support table syntax up until version 1.1.0. It is intimidating, though.
 * 3) The main use of a user account is that your changes can be credited to you. If you click the "Page history" link on any page, it shows everyone who's edited that page. Similarly, you can see everything you've done by clicking the "User contributions" link. We also put author information in our RDF files for author attribution. Obviously, there's also your user talk page, which is how you get messages.

Anyways, I hope you find some time to continue making contributions. Thanks for the link and the write-up. --(WT-en) Evan 18:16, 15 Apr 2004 (EDT)

You helping or making a political statement?
I hope you are aware we are trying to make a travel guide here. You appear to be escalating your statements in the "Respect" section of the United States and to be honest I don't think they are realistic, necessary for the traveler or accurate. It appears from your additions to Wikivoyage you more interested in making a political statement then adding valuable content to the travel guide. I doubt that "All" Americans would be hostile about negative comments about the country. It is true that most Americans are patriotic, but I suspect most would want to engage in discussion in lieu of taking a aggressive or hostile action. As far as making insulting comments to people or "any" country, I think that would be common sense respect. Do you agree? I look forward to seeing your contributions. Thanks. -- (WT-en) Tom Holland (xltel) 13:40, 1 October 2006 (EDT)

Hi, I assume you are the same user as User:(WT-en) Xxxdanxxx.

It's not against the rules at all, particularly if you're switching from one username to another. Sometimes though it means that the user has lost their password and just needs help re-accessing the old account. In any case, it's useful for others to see the connection so that if they have a question about a Sleep entry in Nepal entered by Xxxdanxxx they will know to use your current talk page instead of User talk:(WT-en) Xxxdanxxx to ask about it. -- (WT-en) Colin 16:49, 1 October 2006 (EDT)

Wikivoyage policies
Project:Community policies clearly states the following:

 * "The text should be fair. We try to maintain a professional attitude towards all topics, and give an objective description of it. This doesn't mean watering down our guide -- if some place is smelly, overpriced, ugly, loud, or just plain bad, we tell it like it is. But there are no whetstones here; people with axes to grind should set up their own personal Web sites. See Project:Be fair for details."

Like anyone else, you are welcome to contribute here, but given that ALL of your edits have been seen as controversial it does appear that you may "have an axe to grind". That may not be the case, and you could definitely make a statement by choosing to contribute some neutral content; most new contributors start out by adding attractions and other basic information about their home town. Continued edits to the United States and North Korea articles will probably be reverted, however, as it is not clear (at least to me) that they are being made in good faith. -- (WT-en) Ryan

We might be able to come up with something that is not viewed as a political statement, but useful to the Wikivoyageer. Thank you for you help. -- (WT-en) Tom Holland (xltel) 11:28, 7 October 2006 (EDT)

Hello, Korean1Professor! 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.

Thank you for your comments on Talk:North East (China). please feel free to plunge forward and edit the North East (China) article to read how you think it should. Please try to understand that some of our naming conventions have been a bit arbitrary for China, because there simply was no other formal English name for North East China at the time someone created the article. If you think the name is wrong, please discuss it.

PS: Please sign your comments by typing  ~  at the end of what you write and it will be magically converted into a signature like this. -> (WT-en) Huttite 04:15, 8 February 2009 (EST)

I added a listing to the guide for Ohrid based on the information you put on your user page. We don't normally include photos of lodgings, but if you want to add your address and prices to that listing, that would be good. - (WT-en) Todd VerBeek 15:46, 19 July 2006 (EDT)
