Talk:Turkmenistan

Disclaimer box, edit war?
Text here has been deleted more than once, most recently by an anonymous user, and restored a couple of times by admins. I've just restored it again, then rewritten it in a form I hope is less politically charged. Other opinions, comments, rewrites? Why is it a disclaimer, rather than warning, box?

Turkmenistan-Azerbaijan Travel Links
I cannot find information on the boat link from Turkmenbashi to Baku? This is quite important, as many backpackers are interested in taking this route to Central Asia. Feel free to send me the info and I can post it up. Thanks!! (WT-en) Cupcakecommander 08:38, 1 September 2007 (EDT)

Turkmen dictionary
Someone added the following to the Talk section. I removed it because it is against our external link policy, but it might be useful to someone to start up a Turkmen phrasebook, so I'm putting it below. (WT-en) Texugo 00:00, 8 May 2008 (EDT)

Israeli stamp
I have a an urgent question that I think I know the answer but I want to be sure does having an israeli stamp in your passport cause problems when applying for a visa

 * I sincerely doubt it will have any bearing—Turkmenistan is the most solidly neutral nation on the planet. Nonetheless, getting that visa is very difficult (unless my knowledge is outdated) regardless of where you have or have not been. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 20:31, 3 September 2009 (EDT)

Yeah it really is neutral I mean they have a 12 million dollar arh dedicated to it. Thanks and yes getting a visa especially as an indepedent traveler is near impossible luckily I am going with my dad

Let me revise that for an indepedent traveler it is near impossible for most people it is just difficult not nearly impossbile just a big typo for whoever is reading

Regions

This is an odd case, given how large the country is but how very small it's population is—80% is the infamously inhospitable, completely empty Karakum Desert. While the Karakum isn't going to have a lot by way of cities & ODs (pretty much just Darvaza, I think), and therefore won't have sub-articles, it could still make a good travel article, and visitors always make an excursion there just to see it. The Karakum technically encompasses more than what I've drawn, but I've tried to keep anything that is in any way distinct from the desert in a separate article.

Scheme a:

 * West Turkmenistan (or Caspian Basin (Turkmenistan)) — natural gas/oil land, in the Caspian Basin, Turkmenbashi, etc.
 * Central Turkmenistan — centered on Ashgabat, the towns along the Trans-Caspian railway, Kopet Dag Mountains
 * East Turkmenistan — Merv, ruins, possibly Turkmenabad, which is troublesomely separated from the rest of the country by the Karakum...
 * North Turkmenistan (or Khorezm) — around Amu Darya River, Dashoguz, totally isolated from the rest of the country, intertwined with Khorezm Oasis areas across the Uzbekistani border
 * Karakum Desert — self explanatory

Scheme b:

 * Combine East & Central Turkmenistan into a big South Turkmenistan region, which would contain the bulk of the nation's cities & attractions (of which, in all fairness, there are not many).
 * Combine the isolated Turkmenabad area with North Turkmenistan into an Amu-Darya region (they're both on the river at the Uzbek border), which would be interesting, and would avoid the problem of having a region split by desert.

I'm favoring scheme B, and have drawn it up in the map to the right. I would appreciate any thoughts on how well these ideas would fit with our goals. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 12:19, 16 January 2010 (EST)

 * I like scheme B, but I think dividing the country by | provinces (and there's only 5, merging Ashgabat capital district into Ahal) may be preferable. First of all, by having the desert as a single region, there's very little to fill a Karakum Desert page with (as you said) and that will hinder the Turkmenistan page from increasing in status. From a traveller's point of view, there is little which unifies the desert west-east into a distinct travel destination...visitors will use the roads and will make a trip to Darvaza, per se, from Ashgabat or between Ashgabat and Dashoguz while a visitor may visit the eastern Karakum from Mary or Turkmenabad. And I've never seen a district as slim your proposed Amu-Darya, except Transnistria (for understandable reasons). Perhaps the northern two provinces could be merged, thus: Caspian Basin, Central Turkmenistan, Southeastern Turkmenistan, & Northern Turkmenistan (Amu-Darya). (WT-en) AHeneen 21:59, 16 January 2010 (EST)

 * Actually, the Karakum region was the only one that I felt pretty sure made sense! I think there's actually plenty to write about, like interacting with the Turkmen in the very small settlements, Darvaza, tour companies that will take you on excursions (I doubt the government will let you wander around there)—there just won't be any subregions, cities, or other destinations to list. A pure bottom level region is fine when it is coherent (and is actually a lot easier to get to usable status, and thus to allow the eventual promotion of Turkmenistan to guide status. I'm amenable to following the province lines more closely, but I'm not sure they are based much on anything other than drawing lines in the sand though... And are you suggesting we do away with the Amu-Darya Region, then split what I have as the South Region into a Ashgabad area & Southeastern Turkmenistan (and add Kerki & Turkmenabad to that region)? That could possibly work, although the North Turkmenistan region article would be really spare. I remain pretty uncertain about all these questions. Would be nice to hear some other opinions... ;) --(WT-en) Peter Talk 15:52, 19 January 2010 (EST)

 * I also think the desert doesn't make for a logical travel region as there are no ways of transport to visit that region. In many regions, provinces [] are not the way to go, but I think that in the case of Turkmenistan they are ideal. There are five of them, which is fine I think, and they already correspond to the differences you have explained (except that the desert would be spread over these provinces and the north would be spread into 2 provinces). --(WT-en) globe-trotter 10:33, 6 March 2010 (EST)

 * Well, I've come to doubt that this discussion has any legs, so I've acceded to the majority opinion and implemented the new hierarchy based on the provinces, and the new map to the right. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 13:30, 21 April 2010 (EDT)

 * Looks great! --(WT-en) globe-trotter 14:16, 18 June 2010 (EDT)

Republic?
What is the usefulness for travellers in calling a dictatorship a "republic"? On the other hand, is it time to revisit whether the country is still under "Stalinist" rule like North Korea? "Left-wing" is not likely to be a useful designation for travellers, whereupon, perhaps the subsection in question should be excised. (WT-en) Ikan Kekek 20:37, 2 May 2012 (EDT)

Article for Darvaza?
Should there be an article for the Darvaza gas crater? On the one hand it's arguably the country's biggest draw and visiting it isn't as simple as jumping on a bus tour from your hotel, but on the other hand it's truly in the middle of nowhere (you have to off-road to get to it, and there are no nearby villages), going there is mostly a matter of booking tours (or arranging a complicated taxi ride), and there is naturally next to nothing else to do there (though there are some other off-beat attractions on the road from Ashgabat).

Thoughts?

Rastapopulous (talk) 22:42, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

 * I think it would make sense to have an article devoted to the Karakum Desert, which would be able to cover this. It's one of the world's most barren barren wastelands, so one article should be able to do even such a large area justice ;) --Peter Talk 05:30, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Should we make an article Darvaza (along with Derweze, another common spelling) that just redirects to Karakum? Rastapopulous (talk) 14:53, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
 * And as an aside, which region should we put it under, as it spans a bunch of them? I'd put it under Ahal, as that's where the main (pretty much) only attraction is. Rastapopulous (talk) 15:02, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

 * I guess Ahal makes the most sense, although we could link to it from more than one region. And yes, the flaming crater will necessitate a lot of redirects ;) I would suggest creating a Darvaza article, but there just isn't much to write about: hire someone to take you there by jeep, bring hot dogs, marshmallows, and super long sticks! --Peter Talk 15:17, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Articles made, content to come. Rastapopulous (talk) 16:29, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

Banner?
I have to say, one of my favorite changes from WT to WV has been the addition of page-top banners. I'd love to add one for Turkmenistan, and I think carpets might be the best subject for them because they are Turkmenistan's most famous product and so as to not have yet another picture with Turkmenbashi (also, monument pictures are hard to crop to the appropriate aspect ratio). I cropped two photos from my 2011 trip to the country, but can't decide which looks better. Thoughts as to which banner is better? Or maybe the subjects should be something other than carpets? Rastapopulous (talk) 11:27, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

 * I like #2 better: more colorful. Nice work! Btw, try to sort your banners into individual countries in commons . Danapit (talk) 12:04, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I tried that, but neither Cuba nor Turkmenistan have categories for them. Rastapopulous (talk) 12:04, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
 * The second looks good. Thanks for helping us! You are welcome to create categories there. I went ahead and created commons:Category:Wikivoyage banners of Turkmenistan and Cuba for you. But you are welcome to create your own categories, or even just create redlinked categories and leave it up to someone else to make them if you don't feel up to it. JamesA  >talk 13:04, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Both nice, and carpets are definitely the right thing to use. I also prefer #2. Pashley (talk) 13:09, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

 * I went ahead and put banner #2 up since that seems to be the consensus thus far. Rastapopulous (talk) 13:13, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Rastapopulous, this is how you can create new categories (well, one way to do it): . In step 1 you can enter for example "Category:Wikivoyage banners of Slovakia" in the search field (as a new non-existent category). And it belongs to Europe, so in step 4 you enter to the edit field "Category:Wikivoyage banners of Europe" (in double square brackets). Save and done. Danapit (talk) 13:23, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

 * I think #2 is great. I upped the contrast and darkened it just a tad, not because the image really needed it, but because I think that style works best for the banners. If you're not happy with the change, please feel free to undo it. --Peter Talk 16:31, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Would you rotate the panorama image 180 degrees, please?
 * That way the lighter part of the image will be above the table of partial contents area and the darker area at the bottom (providing a greater contrast to the white lettering and the opaque overlay will blend in more). I think the overall effect will be less dark and gloomy. --W. Franke-mailtalk 11:29, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

MasterCard acceptance
Only Visa credit cards are currently accepted as at November 2014, but MasterCard will be introduced in the near future. --180.191.104.193 02:44, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

Currency notation
The articles seem to use different notations for the currency -- m, M', TMT, manat, etc. What should Wikivoyage use as its standard? worldatlas.com uses "manat", but notes than "m" is sometimes used. "M" and "m" would be confusing because these are used to denote "millions" and "metres". My preference would be for "manat" as being the clearest, but still concise. Ground Zero (talk) 20:29, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
 * We use manat for Azerbaijan as well, so I reckon it would be consistent to stick with 100 manat for Turkmenistan as well. Ceever (talk) 20:33, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Seeing no further comment, in think we have a decision. Ground Zero (talk) 02:57, 14 June 2018 (UTC)

Deregionalize
All the region articles suck. How about merging and redirecting them all? Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:05, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

 * Per Category:Turkmenistan, we have 5 articles for each of the provinces. Each province has the following number of articles categorized beneath it:
 * Ahal Province – 6 articles
 * Balkan Province – 2 articles
 * Dashoguz Province – 2 articles
 * Lebap Province – 2 articles
 * Mary Province – 4 articles
 * All that adds up to 16 non-region articles that would soon be listed underneath "Cities" – I'm currently indifferent, but I'll see if I can expand the articles using content from tkwiki or ruwiki. If this isn't possible, then I !vote to redirect them all back here, leaving Turkmenistan linkless. SHB2000  (talk | contribs | meta) 08:26, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I've added some content to Ahal Province and Balkan Province, though it's not substantial. SHB2000  (talk | contribs | meta) 10:14, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Plus a bit of content in the "Understand" section of Mary Province, too. SHB2000  (talk | contribs | meta) 03:29, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I would support merging all region articles into this article per ttcf. --Comment by Selfie City (talk) (contributions) 13:50, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
 * SHB2000 has been developing the region articles, so now I think it makes sense to keep them separate. Ground Zero (talk) 03:16, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

do you agree that we can withdraw this proposal now that the articles have been expanded somewhat, or do you still want to deregionalize? Ground Zero (talk) 16:26, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I don't have any strong opinion about that at this point, and I do see the improvements. Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:40, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I have withdrawn my support for merging the articles, although I'm still not entirely convinced these articles are effective standalone regions. --Comment by Selfie City (talk) (contributions) 12:12, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

VPNs
We say "VPNs cannot be used in Turkmenistan". How is that possible? All VPNs? I use Algo which sits on my own box in a cloud service, would that be blocked? From what I can tell via internet search, it's the major VPN services that are blocked, whereas you're okay if you're on one that has been set up independently. Can anyone confirm? Brycehughes (talk) 20:29, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I assume we have a dearth of experts on VPNs in Turkmenistan, so I qualified the statement on VPN functionality. Brycehughes (talk) 13:29, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I remember reading somewhere that you'd typically have to go to the US embassy to access outside sites, but I can't remember where. -- SHB2000  (talk | contribs | meta) 13:34, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
 * That would make sense, although I can't find anything about it either. It's tough finding up-to-date info. Traveller reports seems to generally state that almost every website is blocked, except for Google sites and (surprise) Wikimedia sites. iMessage also works for some reason (but not WhatsApp, etc.). I also read (not in anything authoritative) that you could be arrested for using a VPN. Who knows. Brycehughes (talk) 14:08, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

For future reference the Project:CIA World Factbook 2002 import can be found at Talk:Turks and Caicos Islands/CIA World Factbook 2002 import.

Nothing Here!
Considering that the Turks and Caicos are very popular tourist destinations (especially for Canadians), I'm surprised to see that there is hardly anything written here. There is more written about Haiti and Iraq, countries that people hardly ever travel to. As a regular traveller to the islands, I'll try and fill in some of the blanks, but could someone who maybe lives there do the rest. Thanks. 64.231.241.163 03:06, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

TradeWinds Condo Hotel
This hotel was reverted from the main article, but as far as I can tell it meets the requirements laid out in Project:Accommodation listings. We don't usually do sleep listings at the country level, so if someone wants to move this to a city article that would be appropriate, but unless I've missed something there's no reason it can't be included somewhere on Wikivoyage. -- (WT-en) Ryan 02:25, 26 January 2007 (EST)

Images for Turku Medieval Market
I visited the Turku Medieval Market in June 2015 and took quite a few photographs there. They all depict reconstructions of medieval life in various forms. There's sword fighting, bands, crowds of men and women, sahti brewing, children in princess and knight costumes, and pillories. All of these are available at Commons, in the category "Turku Medieval Market". Should I add any of these to the article? And if so, which ones? JIP (talk) 21:41, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
 * JIP, I looked through your pictures. Looks like fun! My favourite one is Girls_in_stocks_at_Turku_Medieval_market_2015, but maybe it's a bit brutal, so what about Sword fight at Turku Medieval market 2015 or Medieval band at Turku Medieval market 2015? I like all of them better than the existing picture. Danapit (talk) 19:32, 26 December 2015 (UTC)

The Quensel House is known as the pharmacy museum, which deserves a listing among the museums, but it also has the (museum) café where I'd take my guests, regardless of visiting the museum.

The following was moved off the article page. Listings should be in the towns, if towns don't exist, start them. (WT-en) OldPine 20:06, 14 August 2007 (EDT)

 * Villa Il Doccio Cicogna, Tuscany, Italy. A beautiful restored farmhouse with 4 units to rent. Accommodates up to 15 people very comfortably. Includes access to pool and hot tub. There is a large veranda for outdoor dining that overlooks the vineyard. Close to all the major attractions in central Tuscany.
 * Casa di Vignolo Pergine Valdarno, Tuscany, Italy. The oldest part of the building was built in the 1400's. Fully restored while maintaining the 'old world' charm you'd expect from such an old building. Located in the small town of Pergine Valdarno where there is a good restaurant, bakery, pharmacy, butcher, grocery store and bank.

 * Villa Il Cassero Luxury Residence with pool in Lucignano small medieval village south siena

 * listing deleted from page as the URL is now blacklisted - see previous revision for details

 * Casa Burraia Charming country house near Montepulciano, swimmingpool and Gym. Parking by the house.

 * Agriturismo Several country holidays and agriturismo solutions to sleep across all Tuscany.

Cities
Time to prune the list of cities? My top nine candidates are:

 * Florence (Firenze) - capital

 * Arezzo
 * Chiusi
 * Lucca
 * Montepulciano
 * Pienza
 * Pisa
 * San Gimignano
 * Siena

Comments? Changes? --(WT-en) Wandering 13:48, 8 January 2008 (EST)

 * I agree more or less. I haven't been to Chiusi, Montepulciano, Pienza or San Gimignano, but I know at least San Gimignano deserves to be in there. I would perhaps still add Viareggio to the list. (WT-en) Timo Laine 06:31, 18 June 2008 (EDT)

Posted 27th of June 2009 I find Piombino quite interesting all year around, this town has really got it all.

 * The pages listed in the Provinces section are the same pages as those for the cities. I think new pages for each province should be created, such as Arezzo (Province). The cites and other destinations would then need to be added to the correct province page. It will then be possible to prune the list of cities.(WT-en) Chris1515 10:00, 4 August 2009 (EDT)

 * Indeed, the cities list is too long—time to subdivide into regions. After creating the province articles, it would be good to prune the list to nine cities, and the above recommended list seems fine to me. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 14:18, 4 August 2009 (EDT)

 * I have now created the province pages and copied all the cities to these province pages. I have pruned the cites list to the 9 suggested above. A number of sub-regions for Tuscany have been created in the past. Those that are entirely within one province have been moved to that province. These still need some rationalisation which I will try to do.(WT-en) Chris1515 11:59, 20 August 2009 (EDT)

outline for Tuscany
I think this article has enough content.(WT-en) Pz-engl 11:47, 6 June 2008 (EDT)

Removed listings
These need to go in their relevant city article:

 * The impressive Abbey of San Galgano and its best sight: the sword in the stone

 * Organic Tuscany offers week-long cooking classes in the Tuscan countryside with accommodation in a magnificent 19th century villa. The program includes visits to local organic farms where the fresh, local food they use is grown, hands-on cooking lessons with traditional Tuscan and Italian recipes, wine and oil tastings and tours of Florence and Siena.

 * Authentic Tuscan cooking class in a wonderful Chianti villa, tailor-made course up to 6 people. You would enjoy a fantastic cooking course. You will learn everything you will need to know to prepare an authentic Tuscan meal with a hint of international twist from the antipasto course to the dessert. Carry back with you the ability to recreate an enviable Italian dinner at home, from homemade pasta, lasagne, panzanella and ribollita to tiramisu and schiacciata con l'uva.

To who took off the listing. Please reconsider it. Travellers when looking for something to do they look under the region and not the city. This is customary and I believe that no one will find a specific thing to do or eat if they would have to look under each of the 200 and more town or village. So if I go to Provence and want to do a cooking class, I will never look under each oof its town, it will take a day, so I will abandon Wikivoyage for something else. I am sure that other places are under a different rule. Also this rule helps large cities and penalises regions with small villages like tuscany. A large city like New York or Paris, if I am looking for what to do, I will get the result of the activity of 10 million people alltogether, while here, with your idea of distributing things to do into 200 pages, it would be certainly not user friendly. Going by population number, it's like asking New York to have a "thing to do" page for each street. That would be cumbersome. Yes we added the listing for evident commercial reason, that is evident. But I believe that is the spirit of wikytravel " a travel guide to Tuscany" says the title. Your cleaning up now have created a page that is just like Tuscany under Wikipedia, so you are ruining the spirit of a travel guide. The result would be many bounceback.

 * The anonymous user is entirely correct, listings should go in the city articles - this is a long established policy of wikivoyage. See Project:Where you can stick it for more information. --(WT-en) Stefan (sertmann) talk 17:07, 21 February 2010 (EST)

Listings moved from "See"
Regional-level articles shouldn't have specific listings, but instead a prose summary. I tried my hand at one, but I don't know what to say about parks, so someone who knows the regional parks well and would like to write a summary about them would be doing a good service. Meanwhile, here are some listings that were moved from "See," in case anyone would like to refer to them:

Alternative banner for this article?
I created a new alternative banner for this article (I initially created it first and foremost so that it would be used at the top of the parallel article in the Hebrew edition of Wikivoyage, yet I later decided to also suggest that the English Wikivoyage community would consider using it here as well). So, which banner do you prefer having at the top of this article? ויקיג'אנקי (talk) 05:46, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

 * The cypresses are really emblematic of Tuscan countryside, whereas the new banner is of a particular place. Given that, although I was unsure at first, I think I would support retaining the current banner. I also like the current banner's composition more. Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:20, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

Hello. We're organizing a trip to w:Cascina with some wikimedians of Tuscany. See it:Wikipedia:Raduni/WikiGita all'abbazia di San Savino, We will visit a place that is usually closed. It is nothing fancy but we will also show some new tools for image harvesting (wiki needs pictures, we are going soon to update more than 180k entries of building missing an image on wikidata). We have already a Swiss and a de-N user joining us, so it is quite international if you want to join! Also as a member of https://it.eurobilltracker.com/ I will also introduce to money tracking app, so a lot of synergy.

"TUTICRIN HAS FROM TIME IMMEMORIAL BEEN CALLED MUTHU NAGARAM (CITY OF PEARLS) BECAUSE OF THE NATURAL PEARL DIVING INDUSTRY... WHICH INCIDENTLY IS DEFUNCT NOW A DAYS. NOW TUTICORIN IS FAMOUS FOR IT'S SALT PANS WHICH CATER TO THE VAST MAJORITY OF INDIA'S SALT REQUIREMTNS.

Talk:Tuttle (Oklahoma)

The page for User:(WT-en) Tiger Safari says pretty much the same as this page and was very similar to Tuttle Oklahoma too. However, what is written here is a plug for Tiger Safari, an attraction listed in the Frontier Country article. Some serious editing is required to prevent the article about Tuttle (Oklahoma) being dominated by an article about Tiger Safari. I am yet to be persuaded that an article for Tiger Safari is needed, but unless Tuttle (Oklahoma) is edited, that is what we have.

An article about Tuttle (Oklahoma) should tell me: The current version of the article says it is 20 minutes from Oklahoma city, 20 minutes what? this may vary by transport mode: flight, train journey, drive, bus ride, bike ride, walk, jog, run, sprint, crawl, swim? Distance is not measured by time, though time and speed lets me compute distance, assuming there isn't a traffic jam.
 * What Tuttle is. (The article does not even mention the place.)
 * Where Tuttle is and where Tiger Safari is in relation to down town Tuttle.
 * Can I eat, drink or sleep there, and if so where is it safe to stay, so that I don't get eaten by wild tigers.
 * How far Tuttle is from somewhere else, as a distance, not a time.

Aside from that in its current state the article is an advertisement, not an article and is a candidate I might consider for deletion, if it cannot be improved. -- (WT-en) Huttite 07:55, 13 January 2009 (EST)

Talk:Twin Cities

So, I moved this from Twin Cities (Minnesota), because I thought Twin Cities was unambiguous. If someone can think of another Twin Cities, we can add back in the disambiguator. We don't need it if it's not ambiguous; see article naming conventions for details.

Also: I'm wondering about the relationship between this article and Minneapolis and St. Paul. In my mind, I think that Twin Cities should just be the city article for both, and we don't need articles for each city. The two are so intertwined that I don't see a point having an article for each. Alternately, we could have an article for each, and reduce Twin Cities to just a region article page. Ideas? -- (WT-en) Evan 10:01, 8 Nov 2003 (PST)

 * Yeah, I was at a bit of a loss for how to handle the Twin Cities. The idea I had come up with was to do the Twin Cities focused a bit more on the suburbs, with just a few highlights from Minneapolis and Saint Paul.  As for the name thing, I  managed to convince myself that there had to be another Twin Cities somewhere without actually bothering to check. -- (WT-en) Ckape 11:52, 8 Nov 2003 (PST)

 * Shouldn't the "Eat"s be moved to their respective cities? (WT-en) Jonboy 16:43, 18 Jan 2006 (EST)

 * So I'm going to rearrange things so that stuff from Minneapolis and St. Paul goes on the respective city page, and suburban stuff is here. (WT-en) Jonboy 12:58, 26 Jan 2006 (EST)

Is the part under "stay safe" mentioning police relations with minorities really necessary? It's not like police go around shooting African-Americans for kicks. —The preceding comment was added by (WT-en) 68.191.147.219 (talk • contribs) 2 Apr 2006

Move back to disambig
I do not think "Twin Cities" is unique, except perhaps in a US context.

In Canada, Fort William and Port Arthur used to be called the twin cities, though more often just "the Lakehead". They have now been combined into Thunder Bay but I do not know if the old term has entirely fallen out of use.

There are lots of other places where the term might apply, pairs like Buda and Pest or Prescott and Ogdensburg. Pashley (talk) 15:44, 1 March 2014 (UTC)

 * The term is mentioned in our Kitchener article, applying to the Kitchener-Waterloo pair. Pashley (talk) 15:44, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

 * I presume you mean Prescott (Ontario)-Ogdensburg and Cornwall-Massena, not Prescott? The latter is in Arizona. Pest is also a disambig.
 * There's also the whole "twin towns" shtick, where Nantes (Québec) and Nantes (France) or some similar arbitrary pair will be "twinned" as sister cities for cultural or diplomatic exchange. K7L (talk) 14:30, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Twin Falls

huh?
I marked this one as patrolled before looking at it too closely - the previous article provided information for travelers about base jumping, and the new article is a disambiguation page that doesn't link to any articles and includes as its topics two bridges. I'm not sure that this is an improvement since we've lost potentially valuable content and replaced it with a disambiguation page without any value. Anyone care to comment? Otherwise I think the disambiguation change should be rolled back. -- (WT-en) Ryan (talk) 14:00, 26 March 2007 (EDT)

 * How about creating a Base jumping Travel Topic similar to Scuba diving and moving the old content (with some reformatting) there? --(WT-en) NJR_ZA 14:16, 26 March 2007 (EDT)

 * I think that makes more sense - perhaps instead of Base jumping the new topic could be more broad, like Extreme sports, and we can always split off a new article if needed. Also note that I don't think the original content met the Project:What is an article? criteria, but there was some useful information within the narrative, while the new disambiguation page seems like a more questionable bit of content since disambiguation pages typically are used to disambiguate articles with similar names, rather than non-article topics. -- (WT-en) Ryan (talk) 14:40, 26 March 2007 (EDT)

 * The "previous article" / "old" content is a duplicate of the content of http://www.overtheedgebungee.com/AboutUs.htm (Copyright © 2007 Over the Edge Inc. - All rights reserved) ~ 61.91.191.8 14:47, 26 March 2007 (EDT)

 * Thanks. So would it then make more sense to just redirect this article to Twin Falls? -- (WT-en) Ryan (talk) 14:54, 26 March 2007 (EDT)

 * That was what I intended to do, but then I discovered that there are two "Perrine" bridges, each with very interesting claims to fame and both of interest to tourists/travellers - hence I disambiguated instead, and I can't see any problem with that. ~ 61.91.191.8 15:06, 26 March 2007 (EDT)

 * In the past when we've redirected an attraction or some other article that doesn't meet the Project:What is an article? criteria it has been done to avoid having someone recreate a new article with the attraction name. A disambiguation page is typically used only when two places meeting the Project:What is an article? criteria have common names.  In this case none of the what-is-an-article criteria are met, so it seems to me to be a bit of a slippery slope to create a disambiguation page. - (WT-en) Ryan (talk) 15:22, 26 March 2007 (EDT)

 * Since there wasn't any further discussion I've moved the page. If I've jumped the gun feel free to revert. -- (WT-en) Ryan (talk) 23:13, 26 March 2007 (EDT)

Not a guide. Usable
Upamanyu, I downgraded this from guide to usable, as I am not completely comfortable with the article. I have changed some things, but not all of them.

 * It suggests eating bhel puris and vada pav in the morning. Who does that? Then it suggests another plate in the evening. Also, is pastries at coffee day really the best we can suggest to a visitor to Mumbai? And why are we suggesting idlis and dosas for dinner?
 * It suggests strolling on Marine drive in the afternoon. Why do that when the best time to see it is after sunset? And it suggests going to the Prince of Wales museum just before closing and then recommends that you hurry. Isn't it a better idea to suggest the indoor options during the day and outdoor stuff during the evening?
 * Day 2 morning is weird. What's there to see around Bombay central? The only place I know of is some place you shouldn't be visiting at your age ;)
 * The whole itinerary does not really work as an itinerary. I don't think I can print it out and confidently follow it.

— (WT-en) Ravikiran 08:42, 13 February 2007 (EST)

 * Righto, you're the boss since you live in Bombay. I won't make it guide till all the above issues have been sorted out. I got a bit mixed up with Bombay Central, I mixed it up with downtown I presume. Why don't you mix and match the stuff and make the changes to it. :) (WT-en) Upamanyuwikivoyage 06:53, 14 February 2007 (EST)

 * On another note, since you're docent, do you know of any decent midrange (3000-4000 Rs/night) hotel near the airport with good access to Bandra West. One of my former classmates lives in Bandra and we (my mom and I) will be going to Bombay during my March vacations.

 * Yeah, I have to agree with Ravikiran here.

Talk:Two weeks in New Zealand's South Island

Is 2 weeks enough to do the South Island?
The currently (October 2009) suggested itinery proposes spending 3 days walking the Milford Track (Is that do-able and enjoyable?) and 3 days in Abel Tasman National Park, yet misses out at allowing for a boat trip on Milford Sound. The organised Milford Track walk usually takes 4 days, and you probably want to stay the night at Milford Sound and take a boat trip the next day. Also, suggesting visiting Hamner Springs at the beginning and end of the trip would mean covering the same part of the country twice. It doesn't even mentioning Nelson, Dunedin, Invercargill, South Canterbury, Central Otago, half the West Ccast and all the places in between the major tourist traps. So much is missing and a lot of time is being wasted.

If the side trips are omitted this itinery sounds like the South Island can be done in a week; it probably can, but it might be better to suggest a fuller two weeks and add the side trips if one has extra time. Some alternative destinations to pass through, with highlights, might also be helpful. - (WT-en) Huttite 08:59, 31 October 2009 (EDT)

Wikipedia says In Welsh the name is pronounced  or, whereas the English pronunciation tends to be ., but I don't think it's common practise on Wikivoyage to use the International Phonetic Alphabet? The correct pronunciation is something like "Tuh-win". If you said it like the english word "towing" but with out the "g" then you would be on the right track, though if you had a southern english accent you'd need to shorten the "o" sound.

I have looked at OpenStreetMap but virtually none of the streets in the town are currently plotted on there - effectively just the main A493, plus the bridges across the 2 railway lines are shown which would help to plot some of the other streets where they cross the railways. I was planning to try to put together a basic street plan and then start plotting listing locations next time I had some spare time to dedicate to it. Delighted you think it's a star candidate! (WT-en) Tarr3n 12:32, 1 December 2008 (EST)

 * Cool, yeah checked OSM.org and that is indeed lacking, and no maps from a google search... hmmmm, anyway, would be happy to help, but I do need something to go on. Regarding starification, I read through the article again thoroughly, and there is a couple of other issues holding in back, but it wouldn't take much more work getting it up on standard - it's mainly just a matter of getting proper addresses on the listings, and adding a couple of missing phone numbers. --(WT-en) Stefan (sertmann) Talk 10:20, 2 December 2008 (EST)

Talk:Ubon Ratchathani/Listings

Understand
Located on the bank of the Mun River, Ubon Ratchathani is a large city whose history dates back to two centuries ago. Legend says Thao Kham Phong, Thao Thit Phrom and Thao Kam, descendants of Phra Wo and Phra Ta, escaped from King Siribunsan of Vientiane into the Siamese Kingdom during the reign of King Taksin the Great. They later built a new city at Dong U Phueng, close to the Mun River. In 1780, King Taksin the Great named the city “Ubon Ratchathani” and appointed Thao Kham Phong to be “Phra Pathum Wongsa” as the first ruler. The city was governed by four rulers until 1882 when it was led by a governor. Ubon Ratchathani is in the lower region of Northeastern Thailand, 629 km from Bangkok. The province features plateaux and mountain ranges with the Mun River running through the middle. Sandstone cliffs by the Mekong River serve as a natural border between Thailand and Lao PDR.

By car
Motorists can head north via Highway 1 to Saraburi and turn right into Highway 2 (Mitraphap Road), and use Highway 24 (Chok Chai - Det Udom) to Ubon Ratchathani. Another route is Highway 226 from Nakhon Ratchasima, via Buri Ram, Si Sa Ket, to Ubon Ratchathani.

By bus
Ordinary buses and air-conditioned coaches leave the Northeastern Bus Terminal in Bangkok (Mo Chit 2) daily. For more information, call Tel. 0 2936 2852-66. In Ubon Ratchathani, call Tel. 0 4524 1831, or visit www.transport.co.th.

Amphoe Mueang Ubon Ratchathani
Thung Si Mueang (ทุ่งศรีเมือง) A field in the heart of the city, in front of the city hall, is a beautifully landscaped public park. Formerly the ruler’s rice paddy fields; it was turned into a public park and venue for festivals during the reign of King Rama V. The field has four gates; namely, Ubon Det Pracharak, Ubon Sak Prachaban, Ubon Kan Prachanit, and Ubon Kit Prachakon. It houses an imitation of a carved candle sculpture, health park, and playground. The park is open from 5.00 a.m. to 10.00 p.m. Moreover, its attractions include: Another important building in the temple is the Ho Trai - the Hall of Tipitaka scriptures. The wooden hall was built in the pond to protect the Tipitaka from insects.The four-room hall houses wooden scripture cabinets which are beautiful lacquer work decorated with gold leaf. It has blending art styles; namely, Thai-style partitioned wooden walls with carving of zodiac animals and floral motifs at the bottom, Burmese-style tiered roof with traditional Thai roof decorations, and Laotian sculpture on the gables. Such decoration makes it a very beautiful hall. Wat Si Ubon Rattanaram or Wat Si Thong (วัดศรีอุบลรัตนาราม หรือ วัดศรีทอง) Located south of the city hall, on Uparat Road, the temple was built since 1855. The Ubosot, built in an imitation of Wat Benchamabophit’s Ubosot in Bangkok, houses a sacred Buddha image known as “Phra Kaeo Butsarakham”. The Buddha image, in the attitude of subduing Mara, is carved from topaz into the Chiang Saen style. Legend says Phra Woraratchaphakdi and descendants of Phra Ta; namely, Thao Kham Phong, Thao Thit Phrom and Thao Kam who founded the city, brought the Buddha image from Vientiane. The image was first kept at Ban Don Mot Daeng and then moved to Wat Si Ubon later.
