User talk:(WT-en) Ascott

Welcome to Wikivoyage! Unfortunately, what you want to do is not allowed here. See http://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Wikivoyage:Accommodation_listings Specifically:

"Wikivoyage is neither an apartment-finder service nor a real estate listing service, so in general real estate and rental agency listings are not allowed."

In addition, you are also violating the guideline against listing the nearest attractions and touting. In other words, you are trying to use this guide as a place to advertise your apartments, rather than from a motivation of informing and helping travelers. Therefore, all of your contributions probably have to be reverted, and I will go about doing that. (WT-en) Ikan Kekek 03:09, 25 November 2010 (EST)

Jakarta accommodation listings
Please put your serviced apartment listings into the Sleep section of the geographically appropriate District of Jakarta article and not into the main Jakarta article. If the main article was to contain detailed accommodation listings it would become overbearing. For this reason the main article just has a summary of the Budget, Mid-range and Splurge categories without any actual listings. Your 3 listings should be placed into the Sleep section of the appropriate Budget, Mid-range and Splurge sub-section of the appropriate district of Jakarta
 * ie Somerset Berlian Jakarta appears to be in Jakarta Pusat so put it into the Sleep section of Central Jakarta.

Please use the format US$XX.XX for USDS prices. Please use +62 21 XXXX XXXX to display a phone number, not (62-21) XXXX XXXX as indicated in the edited versions below. I have edited your listings to de-tout the style. Please see Project:Manual of style for some guidelines in listing content, especially in regard to listing detail that may appear to be touting or to be written in a promotional style. I suggest you may like to consider the use of the edited versions below in the appropriate districts. Also be careful not to add or delete spaces before the url or other fields as the information may not display correctly, that is why the URL's were previously missing from several of the listings. Thank you for your contribution. (WT-en) felix 12:19, 25 November 2010 (EST)

Felix: Please read the following: http://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Wikivoyage:Accommodation_listings#Rental_listings

Specifically, look at this:

Wikivoyage is neither an apartment-finder service nor a real estate listing service, so in general real estate and rental agency listings are not allowed. The only exception to this rule is for locations where rental properties are a common form of travel accommodation and the following requirements are met:

1. Consensus must be achieved on the article's talk page that rental listings should be allowed. When trying to build consensus provide some evidence that rental properties are commonly used by travelers to the destination and that their addition will improve the article. Please do not argue the merits of any particular company, but instead focus on the value of such accommodation for travelers to the destination city/region.

My observation is that Ascott is simply in violation of these guidelines, and that Ascott's apartment rental ads should be deleted, not edited, and not put in any article on any location.

If we really want to go through the trouble of working the Ascott to make the apartment listings useful, the following guideline would apply, once such a consensus was reached:

2. If consensus is achieved, rental agency listings must be placed into a separate sub-section of the article's "Sleep" section.

(WT-en) Ikan Kekek 16:11, 25 November 2010 (EST)

 * Ascott appear to be offering a normal short term/long term optioned serviced apartment accommodation to travellers. As such, it does not appear to be outside normal WT accom listing guidelines. They offer an address that is at the respective accommodation site, there is on-site management and reception provided, stays of 1 day/night+ are offered and a fully serviced accommodation facility is offered. There are many such serviced apartment offerings similarly structured at locations in other countries and this seems no different to those. Ascott does not appear to be presenting a variation to "rental properties (serviced apartments, that) are commonly used by travelers to the (Jakarta) destination" - as suggested by Ikan Kekek. They not do they appear to be offering a rental option only, rather a short-term, medium-term stay option. Unless (WT-en) Ikan Kekek can offer a more definite and detailed reason why these properties do not comply with WT guidelines I do not see any reason these serviced apartments should not be listed as they offer visitors to Jakarta an alternative to upmarket full service hotels. It would be appropriate for Ascott to confirm that they are offering a short term traveller/visitor service providing an apartment with daily housekeeping service available, reception services available, a readily accessable management contact point and a key pick up and drop off facility. I did a 'test' booking for one night and 4 nights and there did not appear to be any booking policy conflict with a short term fully serviced stay at Somerset Grand Citra Jakarta. All their properties appear to be advertised as offering short stay bookings. (WT-en) felix 04:09, 26 November 2010 (EST)

 * Felix: According to http://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Wikivoyage:Accommodation_listings#Rental_listings you must discuss this in the "Talk" page for each location:

 * 1) Consensus must be achieved on the article's talk page that rental listings should be allowed. When trying to build consensus provide some evidence that rental properties are commonly used by travelers to the destination and that their addition will improve the article. Please do not argue the merits of any particular company, but instead focus on the value of such accommodation for travelers to the destination city/region.
 * 2) If consensus is achieved, rental agency listings must be placed into a separate sub-section of the article's "Sleep" section.

 * I don't see any policy statement specifically about serviced apartments at that link. Perhaps you're right that they should be allowed by default, like hotel listings, if available short term, but that apparently is not current Wikivoyage policy. I don't know the ins and outs of how policy is changed, site-wide, but perhaps you'd like to propose a change through the appropriate decision-making mechanism. Until then, though, I don't see how Ascott's listings, even if no longer touty, can remain, without a separate consensus on the "Talk" page of each location. (WT-en) Ikan Kekek 22:15, 26 November 2010 (EST)

 * (WT-en) Ikan Kekek, I think you are misunderstanding Project:Accommodation_listings, these Ascott listings appear to me to just be regular accomodation listings for a facility that provides accommodation services by the night and offers a "daily rate" and minimum 1 night bookings/occupancy. Hence it is not presenting or promoting a "real estate and rental agency listing". If however they do also offer longer term services (which I imagine they do) they are not directly promoting them in the listings at WT, so I can see no reason they should not list in the appropriate Jakarta district articles or would need to have a separate section established. I think if you read Project:Accommodation_listings again you will note that it refers to  "'real estate and rental agency listings" and these listings do not appear to be either a listing by a "real estate agent" or a "rental agency". Nor do not see that any changes need to be made to WT policy in that regard. It seems to work quite well in the current policy form. It is up to Ascott to relist if they wish and I have suggested an edited version above that is possibly more suitable than the original content. The only reason I deleted those listings is because they had been incorrecttly placed in the main Jakarta article rather than in the district article appropriate to the respective accommodation venues being listed (WT-en) felix 13:01, 28 November 2010 (EST)

 * I respectfully disagree with your interpretation but will respect it in the case of Jakarta district articles. I believe some other users will agree with my interpretation, though. The ambiguity should be addressed in some way. (WT-en) Ikan Kekek 21:36, 28 November 2010 (EST)

 * Disagree if you wish, I have not noticed a lot of input from Ascott on this anyway, maybe they have lost interest. If you feel strongly about this "ambiguity" then I suggest you raise it at Project:Travellers' pub or seek out one of the administrators with an interest in the Indonesian articles. I am not going to put these listings into the district articles, I think that is up to the original contributor (Ascott) to do that. I have only recommended some changes that I hope make the respective listings more WT appropriate should they wish to place them into appropriate Jakarta district articles. I stand by my assertion these listings appear to be normal and acceptable accomodation provider details. I only deleted them as they were in the wrong article and I see nothing worse in their original content than I see all over WT everyday. I have provided edit recommendations out of goodwill only. If Ascott does not wish to follow those recommendations they may find the listings are either edited with some vigour by another WT editor or deleted. I also note that Ascott has been quite transparent about who they are. Although not declaring their 'promotional' interest as a service provider I think the use of the user name Ascott leaves little ambiguity in the matter. I cannot find anything further to contribute to this discussion that would be useful and I encourage Ascott to review their previous content and make a useful and appropriate contribution to the Sleep sections of the district articles concerned. Ikan Kekek, please do raise you concerns on this matter with one of the WT admins or at Project:Travellers' pub as I am sure your intentions here are driven by good will and you seem to be somewhat unconvinced by my assertions on the matter. If you find that your standpoint endures the scrutiny of others then do not hesitate to let me know as I am always happy to be corrected if I am on the wrong track.  (WT-en) felix 06:08, 29 November 2010 (EST)

 * Ascott seems to have regained interest in listing his properties. If you note the histories of the articles in which he's doing this, as well as the "Talk" page of the Perth/City article (http://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Talk:Perth/City), you'll see that other users appear to agree with my reading on the need for a consensus on listing apartments in articles, and apparently not your reading on agencies that rent short-term not being "real estate and rental agencies." I don't really care one way or the other about the policy as such, but in any case, "Talk" pages for articles are about achieving consensus, and I am guessing that those who created the policy we're discussing felt it was best to allow flexibility for local conditions, but regarded the listing of apartments as exceptional.

 * I'll say for my part that I am very glad I was able to rent an apartment in London this past summer, but that the most I would possibly countenance is to mention the name of the agency, not to advertise the properties they set up rentals for. People can go to their website to see what's available. Though to be fair, the agency I used does not own the properties, whereas I believe Ascott's does. (WT-en) Ikan Kekek 06:04, 2 December 2010 (EST)

 * (WT-en) Ikan Kekek By a strange fluke of co-incidence I was just looking at the Perth article and noticed the apartment issue there. I might add that Perth is not Jakarta but your point is not missed. My personal view on it is that Ascott (in the case of the Jakarta articles) does not appear to be presenting apartments for rent, rather it is a hotel alternative, available by the night, similar to a hotel. As you mention Perth Australia perhaps I might mention http://www.medina.com.au/ as an example of a long running enterprise offering an "apartment hotel" product.

 * Basically it is a hotel stay but without added on service embellishments. They just focus on the room rather than the foyer and restaurants, conciege services and similar, yet still have 24 hour reception, housekeeping and the other basics of a 'hotel'. The short term "apartment" market is quite different, usually privately owned, individual apartments with wildly differing stylistic themes and standards. These are often let through 'agents' or apartment services, booked by phone and internet and sometimes the only direct interaction with the agency is a key drop, if any at all. My belief is that the intent of the WT policy is to qualify those key-drop/rental-management agency enterprises as "rental listings". The hotel apartments such as Medina in Australia or Ascott in Jakarta seem to be offering high-end but stripped down 'hotel' style accommodation services. They 'differentiate' their product by calling them "apartments' to establish a difference from a 4 or 5 star hotel and normally have some basic life support facilities such as a galley kitchen or even a full kitchen, and sometimes a washing machine or other appliances that can be very useful to a traveller.

 * Regarding the properties under consideration in Perth I did not dwell to examine their individual descriptions do I will not comment on them. I have used Medina in Australia myself and I was quite enthusiastic about the product. They offer good quality accommodation without the need to pay for bellboys in fez's buzzing about the doorways trying to remember my name. I have stayed in similar accommodations and received better service than in a large hotel simply because the service is minimalist, uncluttered and focussed on basics. I assume Ascott are offering something similar.

 * As to apartment and rental listings I think they are different and need to be listed separately as they are not a 'hotel' style product. I have also used such services to rent villas in Italy and apartments in European cities, they are a quite different thing, quite anonymous and you may only see a person when picking up or returning a key, if at all. You will have no argument from me that such listings need scrutiny as to their appropriateness to the destination and listing in an article and I consider them to be an entirely different product to that being discussed above. As Ascott seem to be rather slow in putting these jakarta listings into the appropriate districts I do not see that we have much to reach consensus upon even it it was appropriate to do so.

 * So Ascott what do you want to do with your Jakarta listings? I think they are fine to put in to the appropriate districts as long as you do not re-tout them again and also confirm (here) that Ascott are offering a stay by night full service (housekeeping/reception/security) hotel style product. If however it is an apartment rental that you wish to list then you will certainly need to raise each listing on the appropriate Jakarta district page and seek a "consensus" on the appropriateness of such a service to that district and also the appropriateness of your product to serve the needs of a traveller.

 * I think we would all like some clarification on this otherwise our interest in assisting you with this may tend to evaporate as time goes by. (WT-en) felix 07:26, 2 December 2010 (EST)

 * Felix: You make points that strike me as very valid. Let's see if Ascott ever engages with us in addressing the issues you bring up or/and producing entries that are phrased somewhat different from advertising copy. (WT-en) Ikan Kekek 18:17, 2 December 2010 (EST)

 * Sorry about the slow response on our end. We regret that our limited knowledge on the functionalities of this site has caused you unnecessary trouble. It is correct that we offer short-stay accommodation, just like a hotel would. Therefore, as was pointed out, we provide an alternative to hotels for travellers. We will strive to be more conscientious with the content that we share such that they do not come across as "tout-y". Thank you all for your concern and your continued support in providing accurate information to benefit travellers. Ascott 1 January 2011

Apartment listings
Others have raised this point above, but if your listings are indeed apartments then please see Wikivoyage's guidelines on rental listings. If they are not, please also see Wikivoyage's guidelines for hotel marketers which has some guidance about writing non-promotional descriptions. -- (WT-en) Ryan • (talk) • 21:52, 29 November 2010 (EST)

 * Ascott many attempts have been made to draw your attention to Wikivoyage policies. It appears that either you are either ignoring those appeals to you or not paying attention to their content. You are continuing to place content into articles that is in clear breach of Wikivoyage content guidelines. It is highly likely any of us will continue to assist you if you do not start paying attention to at least the basic guidelines available to you at Project:Manual of style and Project:Accommodation listings. Indeed it is quite likely that your future contributions may be immediately reverted unless you at least try to make some effort. Please understand that your listings are containing an excessive amount of information that is of a 'promotional' nature and of very little value to a traveller. Please just stick to the facts when placing content into an article and ensure that is containing information that is only in the interests of the traveller rather than to seek a promotional opportunity for your employers. Please also ensure you follow the appropriate formatting for the article in regard to telephone numbers, address details, currency and times. (WT-en) felix 06:39, 10 December 2010 (EST)

 * Thank you for your concern and assistance over this issue. We have every intention of keeping to the guidelines that has been set out on WikiTravel. We regret that our content have caused disagreement here and we will review them to make certain that they conform to the standards. We believe that our accommodation offerings provide travellers with an alternative to hotels that may better suit the needs of some travellers. Indeed, we too provide short stay options for travellers. Those that are in larger groups may even find options in larger layouts that can cater to occupancy levels of up to 8 people (our 4-bedroom apartments). Though the facilities and amenities offered may vary between hotels and serviced apartments, our business is essentially the same. Ascott 1 January 2011

Please can someone block this person
Despite many different contributors both asking 'Ascott' not to spam pages, and removing the spam, they continue. This includes revert constructive edits which have only sought to remove this spam and hence improve Wikivoyage. It seems quite clear that 'Ascott' has no interest in improving Wikivoyage and in ignoring the both the guidelines of Wikivoyage and the requests of many contributors. Given the long history of such action the only option now is surely blocking.

Please stop touting
Ascott, you have been warned before about touting, yet you continue to post entries that include the following kinds of text:

"The residence enjoys the ultimate convenience of location being surrounded by entertainment, shopping and business centres. With 270 fully-furnished serviced apartments, ranging from one-bedroom deluxe to three-bedroom executive, travellers will be spoilt with choices. Work from home with the convenience of broadband internet access, a private IDD telephone with voicemail facility and business support services."

"The convenience of location makes the residence ideal for business or leisure travel. Indulge in the choice of 199 well-appointed apartments ranging from designer studios to luxury penthouses."

I mean, quite aside from the fact that you are using the selling imperative voice and superlatives like "ultimate convenience" and "ideal," "well-appointed" is actually cited in Project:Words to avoid.

We really need for you to stop posting touty entries that require us to waste our time editing or deleting them. If you persist, it will be necessary to block your account, as an unsigned user urged us to do above.

(WT-en) Ikan Kekek 23:35, 3 January 2012 (EST)

 * Another objectionable thing that I see you're doing is moving your properties to first on the list, instead of alphabetical. This will not be tolerated. (WT-en) Ikan Kekek 23:54, 3 January 2012 (EST)

 * Your account has been blocked for one day for spam/touting. This action is needed to give volunteer editors the time to revert or edit your numerous edits. When you come back, please remember not to sell the location of your properties and not to tout. Just describe in a clear way what the accommodations are like, without using superlatives. Also, I notice that you are no longer listing rates, and I will warn you that failure to list rates is also likely to cause all your listings to be deleted. Please cooperate. (WT-en) Ikan Kekek 04:35, 4 January 2012 (EST)

 * Dear editors, our apologies on the errant entries that seem like we are touting. This is not our intention and we will re-look our content to ensure that they do not contain superlatives, especially those contained in your Words to Avoid list. We were unaware that the listings are by alphabetical order and will bear this in mind when updating. With regards to the listing of rates, the reason why we have removed it is because our daily rates may vary and there is also a large range depending on the type of apartment selected. Our serviced residences is just like a hotel (with services and amenities) for travellers seeking accommodation, but they have the option of going from studios to 3-bedroom layouts to meet their travel needs. Do you suggest we place the wide price range, or perhaps just the price for the studio (which is comparable to hotel rooms)? We will appreciate your kind advice. Thank you. Ascott 5 January 2012

 * I think a range from lowest to highest is fine. No-one expects you to list rates for half a page, but travelers need to have some idea of what they can expect to spend. (WT-en) Ikan Kekek 21:02, 4 January 2012 (EST)

 * I would encourage you to read, and then re-read, Wikivoyage's guidelines for marketers (which has already been mentioned numerous times above). Having reviewed the last several entries you've added, you're clearly marketing, and thus I'm not sure that Wikivoyage is an appropriate venue for you.  Ikan is being quite patient, but as that guideline makes clear, Wikivoyage should not be used for marketing purposes. -- (WT-en) Ryan • (talk) • 21:06, 4 January 2012 (EST)

 * I also vigorously encourage you to read, and then re-read, and ensure all the people representing your organisation who are editing here also read, Wikivoyage's guidelines for marketers (which has already been mentioned numerous times above), and read the MoS and the guidance articles linked in it. Please also pay particular attention to formatting and style guidelines. Had you perhaps not yet noticed in all the edits and the numerous time consuming corrections to your many edits, that a telephone number is formatted +countrycode space areacode space number, ie +1 202 1234-5678. Also please stop listing out the local attractions and contents of a cities CBD, for example, lets just assume that a CBD includes offices, and that if the hotel is situated in the CBD that it is 'nearby' to business areas, otherwise it would not be a CBD would it. Any more content using the selling imperative voice and superlatives of any kind will be deleted without further comment or explanation. -- (WT-en) felix 21:29, 5 January 2012 (EST)

Block
Hi Ascott! I blocked you for two hours. Reason is the amount of edits you do for the citadines chain. We only accept one listing per chain per article and also your language is too touty. I didn't revert your entry in Cannes because this one is actually detouting. Please stop to add huge amounts of entries. Quality not quantity! (WT-en) Jc8136 04:49, 22 March 2012 (EDT)

Welcome!
Hi, Ashleybristow. Welcome to Wikivoyage and thank you for contributing to articles around the Northern Cape.

I've added a bit of the standard template to Barkly West, to help that article on its way. We have a standard layout for articles, which you can see by looking at our article templates or even some of our star articles.

While you are looking around, have a look through Manual of Style, Project:Listings and External links. This is an important page because Wikivoyage's policy is to only link to official pages, and not blogs and such like.

Please feel free to post a reply (ending it by typing 4 tildes - the "~" key - in a row before pressing "Enter") here with any questions, or go to the Travellers' Pub, where others will be happy to welcome you here and work with you.

Thanks, --(WT-en) Inas 00:37, 28 November 2011 (EST)

 * Hi, Ashley. Your Vaal River Adventures article was deleted (twice now) because it is not an article, by the standards of Wikivoyage. Please read Project:What is an article? and please do not start more articles about anything other than actual places.

Hi. I want to welcome you to Wikivoyage and thank you for the many contributions you're making already. I also want to point you to some Wikivoyage standard templates for listings:

Project:Listings (overview)

Project:Activity listings

Project:Attraction listings

Project:Accommodation listings

Project:External links

You'll note that the manner and placement of your external links does not follow the standard. That certainly is not the most important thing in the world; it's more important to get the information up. But if you would please try to follow the standard format as much as possible from now on, you or/and other editors will have less work in changing the format to reflect the previously agreed-upon consensus for listing formats.

If you'd like to discuss this further, Project:Travellers' Pub is a good place to do it.

Thanks a lot, and please keep contributing!

All the best,

Hi, and Welcome to Wikivoyage.

Thanks for your edits to Grand Case.

You will probably need to update the images to indicate their source and licensing information. See Image policy. Also, we generally don't include pictures of accommodation, unless they are there to exemplify a specific type of accommodation. See Project:Accommodation listings.

Other info you may want to look at is at policies and guidelines and style as well as our licence information at copyleft.

Thanks for your contributions to Kaohsiung! Please keep the listing format though, and do not link to third-party guides. (WT-en) Jpatokal 03:16, 6 April 2009 (EDT)

 * Could I beg you to please follow through on your new division of Kaohsiung, doing it is fair enough, but there really is no point in creating so many districts if they just remain empty, except confusing new users with where they should put their content. --(WT-en) Stefan (sertmann) Talk 10:04, 6 April 2009 (EDT)

 * Quite frankly, I suspect Kaohsiung would be better off entirely undistricted, it's not a major tourist destination by most measures... (WT-en) Jpatokal 10:09, 6 April 2009 (EDT)

Regarding the empty pages, I understand what you mean. But I am planning to add a lot of stuff in the near future.

And about Kaohsiung not being a major tourist destination, I completely disagree. Kaohsiung deserves to be a major tourist destination for all the beautiful things and sites it possesses. Hence my actions to add things onto its page to provide tourist an easier access when in Kaohsiung.

 * Well, get to work then, but having lots of (half-)empty pages only makes it harder to find the information. (WT-en) Jpatokal 08:12, 7 April 2009 (EDT)

One thing that's important: "importing" things from Wikipedia is not OK! We have a different license from Wikipedia's, and you can't just copy stuff from there to here!

San Francisco districts
Well, it's been over a week since we put up our proposal and no one has really commented on it. Should we just get cracking with the districts, or should we wait a little longer? (WT-en) PerryPlanet 17:20, 7 April 2008 (EDT)

 * Yes, I noticed that - I'm not sure what the lack of comments means (good or bad?)- Anyway, personally I'd rather just get cracking on it to be honest...it's been a while and I have some stuff coming up soon. I guess in the abscence of other votes on this, the two of us would probably constitute a consensus??  Besides, it has been hovering around 30 districts for ages now (like a year or something), so whatever we do it's going to be a big improvement. So what has to be done????

 * From my perspective, it looks like you guys are definitely tackling this in the right fashion. If I knew anything about San Francisco, I'd chime in ;) Anyway, the massive Chicago districts discussion was pretty much just done by (WT-en) Gorilla Jones and me—I'd say having a consensus between the two of you is good stuff to work from. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 14:32, 8 April 2008 (EDT)

 * Awesome, cause I've just been itching to get started. I'll jump in around tonight, when I've got some more spare time on my hands. By the way Asterix, I love what you've been doing with some of the district articles. Fisherman's Wharf was an utter mess just a week ago, but thanks to you it looks fantastic now! Very neat and ordered, fits the MoS wonderfully. (WT-en) PerryPlanet 15:57, 8 April 2008 (EDT)

The deed is done. After about an hour of edits, we've gone from 33 to the current 14 districts. And I've added a new districts map with some of the major roads too, so that the boundaries of our new districts are relatively easy to figure out.

Of course, all I really did was merge the existing district articles, so while our districts problem is over, we now have a bit of a mess in most of the new articles where certain information (such as the stuff in the "Get in" section) correlates with the neighborhood it was attached to, rather than the new district article. So now we'll have to spend some time fixing that up, but overall it looks like the transition might go smoothly! :D (WT-en) PerryPlanet 00:42, 9 April 2008 (EDT)

 * Yes, great job with the Map PerryPlanet! Over the next couple of days I will try to help clean up at least some of the potential problems that you have referred to. It looks like the issues will consist of:

 * 'Get In'/'Get Out' Sections - (as you mention), need to be rewritten in places to reflect the fact that they now refer to Districts and not Neighborhoods.
 * 'see' 'do' 'eat' 'sleep' 'buy' 'drink' sections etc will have to be checked for potential duplications.
 * some of the 'understand' narratives may have to be rejigged a bit

 * But honestly, from what I have seen I think that these issues are pretty minor.
 * Again, great job. (WT-en) Asterix 12:58, 9 April 2008 (EDT)

Hi again, just a thought...I am working from the top of the list downwards and doing a quick check for the points I listed above. Perhaps someone else can start from the bottom?? FYI - right now I am down to the fourth district from the top(Chinatown-North Beach)...it seems to be pretty easy...just small changes required really. (WT-en) Asterix 14:05, 9 April 2008 (EDT)

 * Hey, that's a good idea. I'll do just that, starting with Southeast San Francisco. (WT-en) PerryPlanet 17:29, 9 April 2008 (EDT)

 * ok, so I did the first 9 districts. (WT-en) Asterix 17:55, 9 April 2008 (EDT)

actually, I think PerryPlanet had already done some of my ones..no wonder I thought it was so easy!! :) So anyway, I think that this is coming along really well. It looks like the 'validity checking' or 'sense checking' part is over.  I would like to suggest just a few more things to finish this off;

''The map is predominantly based on the 11 official governmental Districts of San Francisco, but it has been adapted to suit the purposes of this guide. Some Districts have been merged together and others have been broken up into popular neighborhood groupings.''
 * Can we add a short statement under the Districts heading on the SF Main Page? Something like..

 * I wonder does the outline look a little sparse?? I love the way that we have 14 headings and 14 articles, but maybe we could add a short narritive under each URL heading??  Or perhaps just a list of the neighborhoods (maybe including parks or even attractions etc??) that come under the respective districts.  It would be like an At a Glance section and would help the tourist understand what they will get to when the click on the respective links.

 * Looking at it - PerryPlanet added some very useful geographical descriptions of each District at the top of each page. But, I wonder would it be better to also copy up some of whats in the the 'understand' section too.  I am basing this on what I think will look good and what I read about the top section here ???

Your thoughts...

P.S. I'm copying this over to the SF Discussion page to continue it there...seems like more people will see it there. (WT-en) Asterix 13:40, 10 April 2008 (EDT)

Chinatown-North Beach
Good to have you back! Anyway, I think Chinatown-North Beach is looking close to star quality, in terms of format. Minor things like prices for restaurants will need to be added and an overall check on grammar and spelling is in order to make sure everything looks just perfect.

In terms of content though, I'm not sure how good the article is. Other than climbing Telegraph Hill and passing by on the Hyde Street cable car, I didn't really penetrate the district. Fisherman's Wharf I was able to thoroughly explore, so I was very confident in making that article a star. Still, it certainly looks like there's enough on Chinatown-NB. If you're familiar with the district and you feel like it has enough, then that's good enough for me. :) (WT-en) PerryPlanet 12:52, 9 July 2008 (EDT)

 * Yeah, now that you mention it, I think that I should put down some more listings before I nominate it. i'll work on it. Thanks (WT-en) Asterix 17:31, 9 July 2008 (EDT)

 * Additionally, I would recommend you take a look at the discussion that took place when I nominated Fisherman's Wharf for star. Mostly it was positive, and we reached a consensus by the end (if we hadn't, it wouldn't be a star), but there were a few style issues that came up which had to be resolved. One was the "average price" for hotels (which I also see a bit of on the Chinatown-NB article), another one was duplicate listings (like Pier 39 being listed three times). So you'll want to look over that and fix them so that they don't come up again when you nominate Chinatown-NB. (WT-en) PerryPlanet 19:37, 9 July 2008 (EDT)
 * Yes, I just finished reading that page...Not too bad though I think - considering how quickly it was cobbled together, seemed like the stuff was all minor except for the 'Average Price' issue...speaking of which...where do I find the price ranges for the hotels???? (WT-en) Asterix 16:12, 10 July 2008 (EDT)
 * Best way to do it is to go to the hotel website, find the "reservations" page, type in the info (remember, the price range is for a double room) and see what comes up. Usually there will be a bunch of rooms offered and the prices will be listed. You'll also want to try different dates (like off-season/on-season) to see if there's a change in rates and take that into account. Personally, I never include the special deals (like for AAA members or the like), just the standard rate (sometimes they call it the "best available rate") the hotel lists. From that, you get your price range. :)

 * Also, if you have trouble figuring out which category (budget, mid-range, splurge) to put a hotel, just stick it under the category that fits the majority of prices listed. For instance, say the price range is $150-$300, which for the Chinatown-NB article would cover both "mid-range" price levels and "splurge" price levels. If the majority of rooms don't get above $200 (like there's only two suites that cost more than that), then put it under mid-range. But if the majority of rooms do go above $200, then stick it under splurge. (WT-en) PerryPlanet 16:27, 10 July 2008 (EDT)
 * Hey there, I made some changes and now I am much more confident about this. I need to proof read it once more, but I think its nearly there...what do u think? Think maybe it could do with another photo or two (or maybe its ok?) Oh, any chance I can interest u in updating the map..i don't know how. (WT-en) Asterix 14:59, 14 July 2008 (EDT)

Tenderloin neighborhoods
Would you like me to put up a colored neighborhoods key on the map? I could whip that up in a jiff. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 17:26, 20 August 2008 (EDT)
 * that would be cool, thanks. I'll fix up the 'Drink' section (as your rightly mentioned) over the next few days and then I think it'll be done. (WT-en) Asterix 17:48, 20 August 2008 (EDT)
 * Done. Please check over it to make sure the neighborhood color regions align with your intentions—I don't have a clue about this place! --(WT-en) Peter Talk 21:53, 20 August 2008 (EDT)
 * I know confusing huh?? Thanks for doing this, just some fine tuning left.  I'll get to it later as I am going to add a couple of bars etc, and will have to edit the map again anyway. (WT-en) Asterix 14:37, 21 August 2008 (EDT)

Golden Gate star
Now technically, you starified that article ~50 minutes before 14 days were up. Regardless, I'll leave a critique on the talk page ;) --(WT-en) Peter Talk 14:54, 3 September 2008 (EDT)

User page protection
Hello again, always hoping that you will come back—your presence here is sorely missed! To the point though, for some reason your uncreated user page has become a spam magnet (presumably because they target uncreated pages that have a high number of links pointing towards them), so we have created a blank one and protected it (we can't protect an uncreated page). If you want that protection removed and/or the page deleted, just let me know. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 01:21, 1 May 2009 (EDT)

Hello Asterix22!

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.

Thanks for your edit to Dubrovnik, but the Project:External links policy states that there should not be links to external travel guides. You may also want to look at Project:Accomodation listings for how accomodations are usually listed. The "Wiki recommended" line will have to be removed as it does not conform to the Project:Tone policy - we try to maintain a neutral point of view, so there is no "official" recommendation of anything. If you have any questions feel free to comment at Talk:Dubrovnik. -- (WT-en) Ryan 08:46, 25 May 2006 (EDT)

Winchester golf
Erm, just saw the message on Peters talk page right after I reverted - you are welcome to add a bit more info, but keep it briefer and more to the point than your previous attempt yeah? cheers --(WT-en) Stefan (sertmann) Talk 11:17, 2 March 2009 (EST)

 * One listing per business please - so is your golf course located in Winchester or Front Royal? --(WT-en) Stefan (sertmann) Talk 11:23, 2 March 2009 (EST)

 * Please stop for a bit and read our manual of style - text copied from a hotel website, is not really appropriate here - once you read it I'll be happy to unprotect the page. --(WT-en) Stefan (sertmann) Talk 11:47, 2 March 2009 (EST)

 * In particular, please read Don't tout — it's about style, not content. Stick to the facts. (WT-en) Jpatokal 12:03, 2 March 2009 (EST)

 * I read it and i feel like i am doing everything within the rules. What i dont understand is why you let the Warren County Page Die. I am working on actually putting content on these pages and i am working with you on the thumbnails to improve the look etc. I am not fighting you here, i am trying to work with you to add content and improve the pages. I just feel you are being too restrictive. I thik all hotels, golf courses, etc should have broader descriptions. In the poor economic environment we are in i am trying to bring tourism dollars to front royal and warren county vs losing business to places like woodstock, warrenton, strasburg, etc. As for the Virginia page, I do feel that GOLF should be a category there as Virginia is famous for golf just as south carolina and north carolina are. I understand you dont agree with all the changes and want each business only listed once, BUT if someone searches for VA for Golf you are not allowing them to see the truly beautiful golf courses that VA has. Dont over restrict because you have a different interpretation of the recommended guidelines. I am trying to bring tourism to my city/county that i love so much - AstrosTexans

 * Good, I'll unprotect in a minute - some comments though; One listing per business is a long standing policy, which you need to discuss elsewhere, we work by consensus around here, and that one is a long standing policy - what you can do is what I did to one of your golf listings - Name of place in name of city - to link to the details, instead of having the info scattered all over the place (that also means if a details change, you don't have to update information on 15 different guides). Don't upload copyrighted images like the one of the hotel, and make sure that the information don't sound like it would on the hotels website or in an ad brochure, especially the info for the hotel is a far cry off how we want things to look here. --(WT-en) Stefan (sertmann) Talk 12:06, 2 March 2009 (EST)

 * There, page unprotected --(WT-en) Stefan (sertmann) Talk 12:09, 2 March 2009 (EST)

 * There is often some confusion with business owners and the Project:Don't tout policy. We've had massive problems with trying to avoid businesses spamming the site, and thus now use the "only one listing" policy.  However, you are welcome to promote golf in Virginia by adding general information about golf to the state-level article - for example, pointing out areas where people tend to go to golf, why Virginia is a good golf destination, etc.  Keep it reasonably high-level (2-3 paragraphs) and if you want to add more information simply create a Golf in Virginia article - search for "golf" on the Travel topics page for other examples of articles dedicated to golf.  Additionally, if you feel like fleshing out additional information about locations in Virginia that would also be welcome, as outlined on the Project:Welcome, business owners page. -- (WT-en) Ryan • (talk) • 12:09, 2 March 2009 (EST)

 * You've been asked to follow our policies enough times already; I'm tempted to blacklist your golf course if you persist. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 13:32, 2 March 2009 (EST)

Deletion of copyrighted image
As we were editing back and forth i liked what we were working towards and I will do that. No pictures i am posting are copyrighted. Every pic i posted was taken with one of my cameras. - AstroTexans

 * Are you sure? Cause this image Image:785_8523.JPG looks very much like this image found on the hotels website- --(WT-en) Stefan (sertmann) Talk 12:15, 2 March 2009 (EST)

 * yep, its my pic taken during the warren country hot air baloon festival. want to see the other versions before i cleaned up the picture and cropped etc?  haha any picture on the internet of the restuarant, golf course or hotel was taken by one of my cameras.  I have about 3000 total photos so far

 * No need, we assume good faith around here (most of the time), one more bit of education though - In the future please upload images to Wikivoyage Shared instead. There is a link in the box to your left, and there is also a link on the Upload file page you hit before. This is so other language versions of Wikivoyage also have access to the images, and we keep all our images at the same location (I know this can be a bit confusing - so no harm done). As you've inadvertently used our deprecated upload form, we are missing some critical information on the images; most importantly which licence Creative commons /or/ public domain you want them published under. Having our licence paperwork in order is pretty vital to a site like ours. --(WT-en) Stefan (sertmann) Talk 12:51, 2 March 2009 (EST)

Debacle
SERTMANN, I made the changes that we agreed on buy PeterFitzgerald deleted them all including the links you created and approved for me! i just sent this to him...

I noticed you made revisions to these pages. I have been corresponding with Stefan (sertmann) and he was the one that actually made the edits to go with the picture and the link to the front royal page. please review my talk to see that he aggred that this was OK as we are trying to actually build info on to these pages to hopefully build tourism in these areas vs competing areas. sertmann and i discussed at length touting, etc. and he agreed that this small blurb with pic and link to the front royal page was acceptable.

this is what he said, yet you just deleted all my links that he states are acceptable, I created the Golf heading and typed two nice paragraphs about Golf in VA as Ryan suggested and this put the type of link that Sertmann had created for me on there and you deleted that!

 * Well, I didn't approve anything, but got the touting down to a level that I personally found acceptable, If Peter doesn't agree, I'd propose you take that debate with him - as I mentioned before we operate out of consensus around here, so the way forward is to build one. I'm going to revert the golf entry into what I think was a good compromise, but you re touted afterwards - I also think the hotel picture (if only because of the hot air balloons) and the golf course is OK, the restaurant less so, if you got 3000 pictures, how about uploading some uncontroversial scenery pictures instead? --(WT-en) Stefan (sertmann) Talk 15:18, 2 March 2009 (EST)

 * Also, You may want to have a look at Penticton or Ann Arbor to get a better understanding on what we are aiming for, --(WT-en) Stefan (sertmann) Talk 15:56, 2 March 2009 (EST)

 * I am fine with the content as it currently stands. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 16:13, 2 March 2009 (EST)

Wikivoyage policy on Political Disputes
Hi (WT-en) Atelerix. Wikivoyage has evolved a set of policies for dealing with political disputes and you should read up on that. The rough idea is that it does not make sense for a travel guide to get bogged down in political disputes, and so these disputes are best avoided - unless of course the dispute impacts directly on the experience of a traveler. You can read up on these policies at Project:Be fair. Of course, no one at Wikivoyage controls content but the community does have consensual policies and guidelines otherwise the site would not function. If you don't like the way the policy is being applied to Azad Kashmir you should try to build a consensus for your views. If you don't like the policy itself, you can discuss changes to the policy on the talk page for Project:Be fair. Hope this helps understanding where User:(WT-en) Cacahuate's comments are coming from and where my reverts and those of others are coming from!--(WT-en) Wandering 19:22, 7 January 2008 (EST)

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!

Thank you for attempting to improve Tana Toraja and Sulawesi. However, we use Buy instead of Shopping. Also, shops should be placed in the city destination where they are located, so there is one comprehensive listing, not in regional articles. If your city destination does not exist yet, plunge forward and create it. -- (WT-en) Huttite 03:28, 22 January 2009 (EST)
