Hangzhou is a city in Zhejiang Province, China..

Get in
Visa is needed and to get a visa prior arrival is highly recommended.

By plane
Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport (HGH), there're couple of direct flights available from and to Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Thailand, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau. http://www.hzairport.com/en/

By train
Train service is the most important traffic method in China, people can go almost anywhere by a train, e.g. Lha-sa. There're two railway stations, the major one is called "Hangzhou" Station which is located in the Hangzhou city centre, the other one is call "Hangzhou Nan" (Hangzhou South) Station, it's former Xiaoshan railway station, and it takes about one hour driving from Hangzhou city centre.

By car
The Highway networks are developed very well but the traffic is not that good, there're lots of jams all over the urban area during peak time. Local people's driving habit is poor. Driving a car is not recommended for foreigners.

By bus
Bus service is not enough for the big population, but you can take a bus go anywhere you want, local or long trip.

By boat
Not Applicable.

Please read Wikivoyage's guidelines for hotel marketers. The listings you have added read like promotional material and have thus been removed - please be sure that any listing follows the guidelines in the previously mentioned policy, including not using the first-person and describing the hotel rather than the city in which it is located. If you have questions you can ask them on this talk page or in the Pub.

In addition, please don't include referral parameters in URLs - it's a dead giveaways that a listing was added for marketing purposes, and almost sure to result in removal of the listing. -- (WT-en) Ryan • (talk) • 14:19, 26 August 2011 (EDT)

Maps
Just a note to say you're doing an awesome job with those maps! Thanks! -- (WT-en) Ryan 13:45, 28 February 2006 (EST)

 * ...and thank you. I must say it is actually quite fun and somewhat easy to create them. Still having problems getting the perfect curves down though. (WT-en) bulliver 22:53, 28 February 2006 (EST)

 * Man! I'm really digging your maps!  I hope the styleguide has been helpful, and please let me know if you think we should adjust any of the colors or anything.  Also if you need a copy of the Blue Highway font I can send it (the license allows redist). -- (WT-en) Mark 16:53, 1 March 2006 (EST)

 * Thanks. Yes, the styleguide was very helpful! As I mentioned elsewhere, I have never used Inkscape let alone drawn a map prior to reading the guide, so I would say it is very helpful. The colours are just fine. The only problem I seem to be having is omitting details from sections that are not under the scope of the map. With the Vancouver map I did, I really had to force myself not too add the street names on the little bit of Kitsilano in the lower left corner ;)

 * Do you use Inkscape for your maps? There are a couple issues I am having that are not addressed in the Inkscape tutorials and I wouldn't mind picking your brain about them...

 * As for the font, I am sure I can get it installed myself, I am just a lazy, lazy man! I'll see about it now, while I am thinking about it. Thanks again.

 * Ok, I take that back, the link from Project:How to draw a map does not provide a free download, and the link that Ravikiran posted in the talk page seems to be dead. Go ahead and fire the font to me at mailto:bulliver@gmail.com -- (WT-en) bulliver 02:31, 2 March 2006 (EST)

 * The font was included in Knoppix. AFAICT the license allows us to do what we are doing here, but it's become hard to find the download since Ray has been trying to sell the fonts.  It's still available on his site somewhere, but it's kindof hidden.  It is however in the debian pool here: http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/non-free/t/ttf-larabie/ttf-larabie_20011216.orig.tar.gz

 * If you have any Inkscape questions fire-away! I'm happy to help.  I'm just glad that somebody has shown an interest in working on wikivoyage maps. -- (WT-en) Mark 04:29, 2 March 2006 (EST)

 * Ok, well I have answered most questions myself, but there is still one thing: The tutorial makes reference to a 'palette' for quick access to recently used colours. I can't seem to find it anywhere? A palette would be great but any way to lock down the stroke colour would be very helpful. When drawing roads or whatever the default is always black, and it is very annoying to manually change every single line to white, is there any way to lock down the default to white or any other colour? Thanks - (WT-en) bulliver 13:20, 11 March 2006 (EST)

 * You can double-click on the drawing tool to launch a configuration dialog which lets you set the current selection as the tool's default. Until they added this I would just copy and paste a line like the one I wanted.  Clearly this is a lot faster.  Also I think one of the tabs in the style dialog has a pallet, but I don't remember offhand where. -- (WT-en) Mark 13:53, 11 March 2006 (EST)

 * Nice! I got it now. Took me 5 minutes to do the street grid of my last map rather than 45. Thanks! (WT-en) bulliver 19:12, 12 March 2006 (EST)

 * Thanks. I have been lurking here for awhile, to research my trip to Europe and decided to jump in when I noticed there is hardly anything down for the Okanagan, one of the most popular tourist destinations in western Canada. I am off work from now until my trip (starting July) so unless someone else jumps in I might just try getting something useable up for every town/city in the Okanagan Valley. Thanks again for the kudos, and let me say I am starting to get the hang of what you all are looking for based on your comments and corrections to the Penticton guide. This is a great site and a great idea, and I am very happy to help where I can... (WT-en) bulliver 22:53, 28 February 2006 (EST)

 * Hey, if you want to hook up while you are over here let me know. I live in Lausanne, so there, or Geneva are super-easy, but I'm a daytrip from Paris, Milan, Zurich or Karlsruhe.  I'll be bouncing between London and Oxford during mid-April, and could be convinced to go just about anywhere else.

 * Also if you are planning a trip, but are a bit free in terms of destinations I would suggest Tossa de Mar or the Cinque Terre as a couple of cool places that you don't normally hear about. -- (WT-en) Mark 16:57, 1 March 2006 (EST)

 * That sounds great! I am going to be doing a whirlwind 3 month tour of Europe, and am just now fleshing out a rough itinerary, but Switzerland is definitely on my list, with tentative stops in Zurich, Bern, Lausanne and Geneva. I have enough German and French to order some food and get lodgings, but I don't think it is enough to have any sort of meaningful conversation so it will be nice to meet up with some English speakers. It will help to ward off the homesick feeling I am sure I will get from such a long trip. First time away from North America for me!

 * Also thanks for the tips. I do have plans to visit Cinque Terre, if only to walk along the path that connects the five towns. I have not heard of Tossa de Mar but I will look into it. While three months is a long time, there are a lot of places I want to see, and I need to strike the perfect balance between seeing everything and having enough time to enjoy them without burning myself out. I've started a rough itinerary of the trip on my user page -- (WT-en) bulliver 00:24, 2 March 2006 (EST)

You rock

Just another note to say that these maps you're creating rule -- IMHO maps are something that are sorely lacking on the site, but you seem to be on a one-man crusade to change that. A while back (WT-en) Evan gave out an award called a BarnStar. In his words:

 * "The tradition, in the wiki world, is to add the image to the user page for people who've made exceptional contributions to the wiki community. In true wiki style, anyone can get one and anyone can give one. Although it's originally from the MeatBall wiki, it's used all over wikidom. There are even different categories of barnstar on Wikipedia (see WikiPedia:Wikipedia:Barnstars on Wikipedia)."

So here's a goofy bunch of pixels to thank you for what was probably hours and hours of work. The rewards around here aren't always the greatest, but the appreciation is genuine. Thanks! -- (WT-en) Ryan 17:05, 14 March 2006 (EST)

 * That's great! Thanks a lot. - (WT-en) bulliver 18:50, 14 March 2006 (EST)

 * As a side note, if your recent experiences have given you any ideas about how to improve Project:How to draw a map, please go ahead and add your thoughts. Having only briefly looked at that article I had some questions about where to get good satellite images, what resolution to use, etc.  I think you've also had some questions about fonts and color palettes that might be useful if incorporated into the article.  I realize I'm rewarding your amazing work by saying "and would you mind doing this too", so please don't feel obligated, but as someone who is new to mapmaking and who does it well you might have some very valuable input.  And you still rock. -- (WT-en) Ryan 19:17, 14 March 2006 (EST)

 * I will give it some thought, but really, I am quite happy with the guidelines as they stand, and find myself sticking to them as much as possible. The only time I might stray is with the National Park maps, and big-city maps, such as the Seattle map I just finished. As for scale, I generally just change it at will to fit as much detail as possible into the area being mapped. As various cities/areas can differ wildly in the size of the district or whatever being mapped, I don't think it will be feasable to standardize on any sort of fixed scale. That being said, I generally try to work with as large a canvass as possible on the svg source, and scale down the png version to be managable in the guide (ie: try to scale it 800x600 or so, so that it may fit on one screen in its entirety without scrolling).

 * As for where to get sattelite imagery, I have gleamed from the Project:How to draw a map page and the mapmaking expedition discussion that it is not prudent to list the source due to potential copyright issues, however, if you follow the discussion there it will quickly become apparent where I get it from (hint: starts with 'goo' ;) ).

 * So: I will definitely give this some thought, and put any ideas I can come up with in the talk page of Project:How to draw a map so it can be discussed before changing the actual howto. - (WT-en) bulliver 00:32, 15 March 2006 (EST)

Am I logged in
You may be seeing effects of the caching stuff -- when my login expires, I still get my usual talk page and stuff listed at the top of the page. -- (WT-en) Colin 16:41, 16 March 2006 (EST)

 * That seems to be it...I see 'bulliver' at the top of the page, and when I click I get my normal talk page, but edits show up as my IP. At first I thought it was only with Konq, but it seems to happen with Firefox too. Could this be because I am logged in on two different computers? Anyway around it? - (WT-en) bulliver 17:05, 16 March 2006 (EST)

 * I usually check my watchlist first thing. If it doesn't show, I know that I have to log in. — (WT-en) Ravikiran 17:17, 16 March 2006 (EST)

 * I've only seen it since I've been logging in on two different computers... I'm guessing I get logged out after about 24 hours... but I really don't know. There's no way around it other than logout and log back in at the start of a day's session. - (WT-en) Colin 17:30, 16 March 2006 (EST)

 * This conversation may best be moved to Project:Bug reports, but I'm getting logged out a lot and using only one computer. I'm on a DSL connection and thought it might be due to the IP address changing, but it's happened in the past 24 hours from the same IP. -- (WT-en) Ryan 17:44, 16 March 2006 (EST)

BC Regions
As a heads up, if you're re-doing the BC regions you may want to take a look at how we did California. The California regions were a bit of a mess for a while, but proposing a list of non-overlapping, top-level regions and then creating a map to explicitly show what went where worked out quite nicely. Not sure if it will help or not, but it can't hurt.

 * Yeah, I guess a map would be best to sort it out. I left a note in user webgeer's talk page, as he mentioned he wanted to clean up the mess. I figured he might want to tackle it together, but it looks like he hasn't been around in a while. (WT-en) bulliver 17:43, 17 March 2006 (EST)

As a random aside, you can create links to images from your user page using the syntax Image:Image name (note the colon at the beginning). It's a bit easier than entering the full "http://www.wikivoyage.org/" bit. -- (WT-en) Ryan 17:37, 17 March 2006 (EST)

 * Thanks for the tip, that's exactly what I was looking for, as I want to link to the pictures, not display them. (WT-en) bulliver 17:43, 17 March 2006 (EST)

 * No problem. The format is the same as all other Wiki links, so if you want to display a title other than the image name simply do Image title . -- (WT-en) Ryan 17:48, 17 March 2006 (EST)

East Kootenyas

 * Just move the last good page to the correct spelling and leave the mispelling behind as a redirect. That way you take all the page history and the redirect will take care of future bad spellers. :) -- (WT-en) Tom Holland (xltel) 20:24, 17 March 2006 (EST)

 * OK, thanks. I couldn't rename the page because I already created the correct one. However, there was nothing there but an outline so hopefully the history is no big loss. I will keep this in mind for the future - (WT-en) bulliver 20:35, 17 March 2006 (EST)

 * Yeah, no big deal, I have done the same thing. What we have now is about the same thing. The thing is when you do a move it takes all the history and talk page with it and then creates the redirect auto-magicly. In this case it really didn't make much difference anyway as all the edits were yours and there was no talk page. That aside, I want to chime in with everyone else in thanking you for everything you have been doing in adding content, maps and pictures. I just wish I could figure out the map making. ha! -- (WT-en) Tom Holland (xltel) 08:18, 18 March 2006 (EST)

 * Thanks Tom, I am more than happy to help out where I can (and some places I probably shouldn't ;)) -- (WT-en) bulliver 15:15, 19 March 2006 (EST)

 * You are very welcome, BTW for disambiguation, I am getting in the habit of checking Wikipedia. I am going back on some of the pages I have created and doing a disambiguation on them. Thanks. -- (WT-en) Tom Holland (xltel) 15:48, 19 March 2006 (EST)

Bangalore
Actually, it was your initiative for standardizing the 'eat' section that got me going. So, thanks to you. Also, I must admit that as I was the person who nominated Bangalore for the collaboration week, there was some feelings of obligation behind my efforts. The article is still far from being a 'star', but at least now it has some shape. (WT-en) WindHorse 19 March 06

Columbia-Rockies
Your article title threw me for a mild loop here. There have been some discussions -- and some disagreements -- about how to make sense out of the Rocky Mountains in a hierarchically logical way. Rocky Mountains (United States of America) is used as a "region" name, which creates confusion because they're obviously also a range and destination.

What's your intention with this title? Is this thing, whatever you call it, "part of" the Rocky Mountains, or is it a region between mountain ranges, or a separate range altogether, or what? I'd appreciate explanation, as I (we?) try to make something more integrated out of the various Rocky Mountain articles. -- (WT-en) Bill-on-the-Hill 19:32, 15 April 2006 (EDT)

 * Well, I am not too happy with the way Rocky mountains are handled here generally. I cannot speak for American Rockies, but the Canadian Rockies just seems incongruent and tacked on. If we look at the Canada page, we see Prairies and British Columbia as top level regions. And the Canadian Rockies page just seems to exist in limbo. I fully agree that the 'Rockies' are a destination in themselves, but it still doesn't feel right to me, as it just messes up the heirarchy, as it is in Both BC and Alberta.

 * Specific to the Columbia-Rockies page I started: I just spent a lot of time and effort cleaning up British Columbia's heirarchy, which was a complete mess. This region is a sub-region of the Kootenays, and covers an area far west than just the Rockies. It covers three ranges from the BC-Alberta border to 350km or so west of there. Quite frankly, I don't see how it should affect the 'Rocky Mountain' heirarchy at all, as it seems no matter what happens to that designation, there will be some overlap unless we change Canadas regions as a whole from the ground up.

 * If it really upsets you I can drop the 'Rockies' from it, and just call it Columbia (British Columbia). I was just trying to match the official BC tourism board's regions as close as possible when I reorganized BC's heirarchy. (WT-en) bulliver 05:01, 16 April 2006 (EDT)

Shared
Hi Bulliver,

Do you know about Shared? It's where we try to upload all of our images now so they can be used on EN or any other language version of Wikivoyage. I'd appreciate it if you could start uploading your images over there. The one downside is that you have to create a user name for Shared. Thanks! -- (WT-en) Andrew Haggard (Sapphire) 05:44, 3 July 2006 (EDT)

 * OK, I have made an account there. So is there no way to copy them over to shared after the fact now? (WT-en) bulliver 05:50, 3 July 2006 (EDT)
 * Not yet. You don't have to transfer them (Hopefully someone else will do it :) ). Just as a future reference thing. -- (WT-en) Andrew Haggard (Sapphire) 06:05, 3 July 2006 (EDT)
 * One more thing. If you're going to include the image in an article on EN you do the same thing. I.e. [[Image:Example.JPG|thumb|200px|Example caption]]. Just be sure you type the name of the image exactly otherwise it won't work. -- (WT-en) Andrew Haggard (Sapphire) 06:08, 3 July 2006 (EDT)

Map data
I was just about to go on Talk:Victoria (British Columbia) and promote OpenStreetMap.org's Victoria Mapping Party (a mapping project to create open licensed maps derived entirely from grassroots GPS surveying) ...when I noticed that wikivoyage.org already has great maps of Victoria!

How did you create them? (and the crucial license question) ...based on what data?

-- (WT-en) Harry Wood 14:56, 19 September 2007 (EDT)

 * Hi Harry. As is my understanding, you can copyright a specific map, but not the basic information that the map contains (ie: streets etc). One way that mapmakers enforce their copyright is by putting bunk streets in their maps. So: I use Google Maps to get the basic geographical outline, and plug in the streets etc using a secondary reference as a guide (typically a dead-tree fold out map by Map Art or Rand McNally or whatever.). If google and the secondary source agree, then I conclude that that particular feature exists.

 * Plus, I generally only make maps for places I have been to and am somewhat familiar with.... (WT-en) bulliver 15:04, 30 October 2007 (EDT)

 * Ah right. My understanding is that this approach is copying! By cross referencing two different sources you'll probably eliminate the copyright Easter eggs, thereby hiding the fact that you are copying. As long as you spot all of them, nobody would be able to establish a breach of copyright (ignoring the fact that you have mentioned your sources here now!) ...So you'll get away with it of course.
 * The OpenStreetMap approach is to go out and survey every street. Bit more laborious! But because map copyright legalities are such a big pain in the ass, we believe this is the only way to arrive at a truly open licensed street map. The Victoria mapping party looks to have been quite successful. OpenStreetMap's coverage of Victoria is pretty good now. But compared with your map I can see there are areas to the North and West which haven't been surveyed yet.
 * -- (WT-en) Harry Wood 21:28, 6 November 2007 (EST)

Victoria maps.
I love your maps of Victoria. I uploaded them to Wikimedia Commons for use on Wikipedia. Please check them to ensure I've got the attribution properly. (WT-en) Padraic 14:43, 31 October 2007 (EDT)

Prince George
Prince George is not in the Cariboo-Chilcotin, not in any known definition; I've taken it out of that section's listing but didn't revise its article as some other coverage of the North-Central Interior (Omineca-Bulkley-Nechako) needs writing up; the map is totally wrong e.g. showing the Peace Country extending south to near-PG; it ends at the Rockies and doesn't include anythign west of them, despite the boundaries of the regional district.96.30.132.165 13:09, 11 September 2009 (EDT)

Hi Burmesedays, I'm currently translating country maps for the French version. Thanks a lot for all the maps you've made: fantastic job (and probably very time-consuming)! For Guyana, I can only find the version but no SVG. Do you still have the original? If yes, could you upload it?

However, I appreciate the spirit in which wikis are protected for everyone's good and if you still feel that we do not warrant inclusion, I shall not bother you again. The only extra information I can give is that we do have a ground office in Ecuador (http://www.abercrombiekent.co.uk/aboutus/groundoffices/ecuador.cfm) and many elements of our trips are only available through us (which is another of the main criteria that I noticed). For instance we have recently launched an exclusive tour with notable zoologist Mark Carwardine (http://www.markcarwardine.com/about.php)- http://www.abercrombiekent.co.uk/ecuadorandgalapagosislands/thegalapagosislands/galapagos-markcarwardine.cfm. Again, sorry for taking up more of your time, but I hope this extra information may put us on a more even footing with some of the travel companies already listed in the 'splurge' section. Best wishes, Rob

Retiring abroad
Care to take another look at that, see if it is ready for a star nomination, and either comment on what it needs or make the nomination?

I'm the sole author so far, so cannot see it objectively. Also, I nominated another I'd worked on, Teaching English, as a possibility for our first star travel topic and that failed, so I'm a bit reluctant to risk it again. (WT-en) Pashley 04:24, 4 June 2011 (EDT)

 * I have been watching this one hatch with some interest. I think it is close to being more than worthy of a nomination, and very well done to date. Just a couple of comments:
 * One little formating issue which is sure to come under scrutiny is the use of front-links which are positively discouraged in our MoS. For example International Living should really be International Living
 * Instinctively I feel that the article would benefit from a medical section - the need for evacuation insurance in many less developed countries etc. For many retired folks this would be a major issue I feel. --(WT-en) Burmesedays 04:37, 4 June 2011 (EDT)

time formats revisited
Given your interest in the time formats discussion and/or the star nomination that was almost sidelined over this matter, I thought I should let you know I've reopened the discussion. Hopefully (unlikely perhaps, but hopefully) we can reach a more definitive conclusion on this matter. (WT-en) PerryPlanet Talk 00:45, 23 June 2011 (EDT)

Why deleted?
One of my interest is Botanical Gardens. So, I know that the Royal Botanical Garden (combine of two parks) in London is the best in UK. Alas, when I went to London, I missed the Botanical Garden. My question is why you delete my contribution in Bedugul article. In last one month I have visited Bedugul and Cibodas, certainly it is not the first visit and also for the other Botanical Gardens. I want to know the reason because I recently write the tourist activities, so I need learn more. Thank you so much for your attention. Best Regards from Gsarwa.

Kuta (Lombok)
Hi Burmesdays, Yes that was a rather untidy piece of editing, or rather it was a bit too tidy. Leaving just the one Sleep listing there and deleting the rest of the article was a bit out of order. Truth is I was fighting with a new release of firefox for mac (the new v.5 .0 is not yet stable). I left you a note on my Talk page. Thanks for noticing and for letting me know. I fixed it after getting the app re-started and the page finally reloaded. cheers -- (WT-en) felix 23:44, 8 July 2011 (EDT)

Senggigi
Nice work Burmesedays on cleaning up the Senggigi article formatting and content. It looks a lot better and flows a lot better now. I had been meaning to tidy up the balance of the messy formatting including those sub-section headers for a while and just never seemed to get to it. I have also been intending to do a bit of an update on the content and your suggestions on the Plaza and Square are a good idea. I am in Jakarta at the moment but when I get back to Lombok I am going to pay it some attention as it has been slipping a bit behind. The region is rising up a bit at the moment and there have been some new entrants in especially in the accom, restaurant and nightlife categories. The Tanjung article needs some new info put into it as well but I want to do a proper survey on the ground so I get it right. Well done. -- (WT-en) felix 13:59, 9 July 2011 (EDT)

Mount Rinjani
Hi Burmesedays, I have just performed an article wide review of Mount Rinjani. As this is an article of enduring interest to you I am hoping you might run your eyes over my recent edits to ensure a fresh eye is applied to my activities there. There have been some ongoing confusions with travellers properly identifying reputable trek providers and I understand the issue of hijacks of bookings and pre- payments still prevails. I have also attempted to address the guide and tout issues at the waterfall as this is an ever escalating problem there with some quite vigorous extortion of fees from outside guides and drivers and stand over tactics toward both visitors and the people taking them there. I also moved the eruption image up higher in the article as I felt it looked a bit odd at the bottom after my addition of the. I did an article wide spell check and made a few minor edits outside the Do section. However the main area I worked on was the Do section. Rinjani Trekking Club seems to have been the main target of the booking and payment hijacks as the perpetrator uses a mimicking name and logo. That individual is active across NTB and although there seems to be a focus on Gili Islands fast boat services, Lombok accommodation and Rinjani treks I do note that he meddles about in the Komodo and Sulawesi region as well. It appears to me that some of the recent corrective edits to the trekking providers have arisen from one of the principal victims using alternative trading names to re-brand and I suppose this may be an attempt to overcome some of the issues that have developed from the several years of disruption caused by the hijack activities. I have sent the person concerned a hopefully polite and supportive email with a please explain and an request to be more focussed and WT policy and guideline compliant here. I believe he, (or his associates) may be responsible for the recent problems with edits to the provider listings in the Senggigi and Mount Rinjani articles. I have attempted to address some of these ongoing contribution issues with my recent Mount Rinjani edits. I would value your input on this if you think any of the recent changes are less than appropriate. Thanks -- (WT-en) felix 08:21, 10 July 2011 (EDT)
 * Thanks for that Felix. The article looks in better shape now. Be a bit careful though about the potential over-use of warning boxes. Hijacking touts are just a fact of life I am afraid, and we can only do our best to keep an eye on things. --(WT-en) Burmesedays 09:03, 10 July 2011 (EDT)
 * Yes, your comments on the warning boxes are right on the money, that was indeed my main concern regarding my recent revision. If you feel any of that content would be better placed into the main article text then please make any adjustments you think appropriate, I certainly defer to your lead on that as I think you have a more developed feel for that sort of thing. Sometimes they declutter, sometimes they can do the opposite. Do please go ahead and make any further changes you think more appropriate, especially if you think the info boxes are over used. Thankfully the hijack and antics there pale in comparison to my favorites on the West Bengal articles, in regard to Lombok most of that activity is fortunately only occurring off article. -- (WT-en) felix 12:37, 10 July 2011 (EDT)

Lombok
Hi, I have just had an edit conflict with you at Lombok, as my edit was article wide I overwrote your recent but apparently more contained edits. I will be scratching your changes out of the histories and reapplying them in a few minutes. Perhaps then you might like to check over the article to make sure I did not miss anything. -- my apologies of course for the over-write-- (WT-en) felix 11:10, 10 July 2011 (EDT)
 * Hi again, the overwrites have been dealt with (I hope) and some further trims and adjustments made as per your own edits and my previous article review. I will stop editing there so you can have a look and make any further adjustments you think are appropriate. BTY, I think it would be prudent to set up a sandpit somewhere to work up the requirements of the new airport as it will no doubt open will surely finally open in the not too distant future. I must comment though that despite all the bluster the last time I looked at it there was still a long way to go before it is ready for scheduled operations of any kind. -- (WT-en) felix 12:26, 10 July 2011 (EDT)

Sundarbans National Park
Hi, I have tried to make you understand the need for agents to be listed considering the inconveniences faced by people visiting the Sundarbans and request you to revert the deletion made by you. Even news articles confirm the fact that there are not many choices for accomodation as well as the fact that the Govt run accomodation is in shambles and one has to run from pillar to post to get the bookings. Besides, as I pointed out prior permission is required from the Forest Deptt to visit the core areas. So does one have the time to collect the same personally always???

please consider the gravity of the situation and allow the listings.

Besides, as I told you the other two accomodation options do not allow "Room only". you have to accept their package costs. So what wrong have other agents done that their names have been removed ? please consider the situation

Map of Iceland
Hello, and thanks for the welcome messege you left on my talk page recently.

I was looking at the map indicating regions in the Iceland article, and saw you're the one who made it. There are a few things that seem a bit strange about it to me, as a native, and I was wondering if you could change them - I'd love to do it myself, but I don't have the software (or the source file of the map). Mainly, they have to do with the towns you chose to put on there:
 * Vatneyri, I strongly suspect, is only a farm. This is an all-to-frequent type of error found on foreign-made maps made of Iceland, mistaking farms for villages. It would be more appropriate to indicate either Bíldudalur (the village where most flights to the region go) or Patreksfjörður (the biggest town on the southern West Fjords).
 * Egilstaðir are conspicuously missing from eastern Iceland, despite being the biggest town in the region and the gateway to the East Fjords for most tourists.
 * Stykkishólmur, similarly, is the main town on Snæfellsnes (the big peninsula in the western region), but instead you've put in the smaller village of Hellissandur. Nothing wrong with showing Hellissandur on the map, it's a beautiful place, but Stykkishólmur needs to be there. In addition to being the main town, it's also the place where ferries leave to cross Breiðafjörður or to visit its islands (the large island-filled bay between Snæfellsnes and the West Fjords).
 * Selfoss is by far the largest town in the South. Indicating it may not be too important for tourists, as it's not a big destination (too close to Reykjavík), but it is one of the biggest towns in the country and should thus in my opinion be there. However, despite being the main town of the South, it would actually fall within the South West region on your map. Which brings me to the last point:
 * The south west region is larger than most Icelanders would consider it. It's not inaccurate as such, and it may be useful for tourists to have it this way because it currently indicates the distance of easy day-trips from Reykjavík, but it looks a bit strange and if I were making the map, I'd move the northern border of the South West region down to the next fjord (Hvalfjörður) and the western border to the west of Þingvellir. The Western region would then cover all of Borgarfjarðarsýsla (in blue) and the Southern region would cover all of Árnessýsla (in orange), as seen on this map of Iceland's counties: I apologise if there was a discussion on this somewhere, I couldn't find one, so I thought I'd at least point it out to you.

All the best, --(WT-en) sterio 04:38, 24 July 2011 (EDT)

 * Some really excellent feedback there - thank you. This map has certainly lacked that very thing. Please see Talk:Iceland which has been the only discussion on this map to date. I will copy your message to the Talk:Iceland page as I think it better than any discussion continues there.--(WT-en) Burmesedays 06:00, 24 July 2011 (EDT)

 * Whoa! That's about as off-the-beaten track as it gets Peter - great to hear. I have been to Halmahera, Ternate and Ambon, and would love one day to get out to the Bandas, Aru Islands, Seram etc. Of course, please do take the map. I will continue with trying to structure the region article - it is a very complex one due to myriad island groups. I guess I am probably more familiar with that region that anyone else at WT, so very happy to do that work in advance of your drawing the map. --(WT-en) Burmesedays 10:48, 26 July 2011 (EDT)

thanks! (from Siung99)
Thanks for your support Burmesedays! I have actually contributed some articles (Trawas, Pacet, Tretes) but unfortunately no one has plunged forward ever since (the 'anonymous users' that did the last editing was actually myself, but i didn't log in). recently i also revised the Salatiga page (without logging in, though), i know a bit about this town as i grew up there.(WT-en) Siung99 11:28, 26 July 2011 (EDT)

Dharamsala
Hi Burmesedays, that Dharamsala article was truly a mess and it appears you have also just performed a significant edit on it. It is a pity you did not revert back to my last version though as it now still contains a whole pile of POV and highly subjective commentary. Also the IP that reverted my edits twice managed to reinstate all the badly formatted prices, addresses, US EN spelling into an ex-British colony (therefore a UK EN appropriate article), non-WT time formats, XXXX meters (X,XXX m), rampant outbreaks of Capitalisation For Emphasis, URL repeats in listings and other general untidiness, a lot of which has still prevailed despite your own considerable efforts to get the article back into order. Not only did that IP accuse me of "vandalism" but they reverted an article wide review with one revert. You now appear to have gone over it and redone a lot of the work I had already done. Sometimes I do wonder what motivates these people. That pest undid a considerable amount of work that now needs to be all done again. Good work applying the listing formatting to so much of the content. The phone numbers are still rather messy, as are the Rp prices, times and similar. I think the volume of work you have now done on the content the IP reverted back into the article now makes a time waste to go back to my recent version as a starting point so your last version now needs much of that editing applied all over again so as not to then dump your own recent considerable work on the article. It looks like random silliness has prevailed again. I wonder at ties just what it is that infects the Indian articles, it is not just the local Indian editors that act silly there, apparently people from outside the region want to have a good swing at crazy editing as well. cheers --(WT-en) felix 06:13, 28 July 2011 (EDT)

 * I actually did not spot that mass reversion Felix. Apologies. Rather, I just saw an incredibly messy article. Yes, I think it would be too late now to go back to your last version. I have done a lot of work up to the Eat section, so perhaps start from there if you wish too. The Eat and Sleep sections are very messy indeed, as were See and Do which now look better.--(WT-en) Burmesedays 06:24, 28 July 2011 (EDT)

 * Yes, you have taken it forward too far to go back, I will be able to scratch some of the previous reverted edits out of the histories but most of it will be the regular grinding line by line clean up. Certainly not your fault though, really I should have detailed the edit notes more thoroughly, I started out just doing a minor edit to undo the 1st revert by the IP but then saw what an absolute mess the article was in and just pressed on. I left it still with a lot of work to do, such as that you addressed with some of your re-structuring. I think it would be easier to just work back through from your recent review. Yes, See and Do have some sense about the sections now. BTY, I cannot seem to get the breadcrumb working, maybe you might like to have a stab at it. I have tried using but it does not seem to work.-- (WT-en) felix 06:32, 28 July 2011 (EDT)
 * Yes, that is what it needed. -- thanks (WT-en) felix 06:40, 28 July 2011 (EDT)

 * Did you do any editing on the Sleep and Eat sections? If not I might just dump edit them in again as a starting point to save some work. As far as I can see you have not done anything significant from and including the "Work" section down (with the exception of Stay safe) so I might just dump the prior edit back in to the article. Let me know if I have overwritten anything of your s though. -- (WT-en) felix 06:38, 28 July 2011 (EDT)

 * I have done almost nothing on the Sleep and Eat sections. So, yes by all means copy your last version of those sections into the current article. I am sure that will save a lot of time. Try to do it section at a time with an edit note please so that other users know what is going on. On  - it should have an initial capital I. Try to avoid IsIn altogether as it has been superceded. Cheers. --(WT-en) Burmesedays 06:48, 28 July 2011 (EDT)

 * Thanks for the notes on "Isin", I was a bit confused about that. I have gone through the whole article again and reinstated my previous edits. Perhaps you can look over it with a fresh eye as mine are a bit bleary from the confusion of the scattered edits. Some of the listings still need formatting applied but they have at least now been (re)-standardised for view where I have not applied the appropriate field formatting. Agggh, what a mess. Thanks for your assistance with the above mentioned. -- ((WT-en) felix 12:00, 28 July 2011 (EDT) not working today) (WT-en) felix

 * Well done Felix. I have Alpha-ordered the Eat and Sleep sections. It now really needs someone who knows the town well to categorise the huge number of eat listings by price. I have left an hidden edit note to that effect. The article looks immeasurably better I think. Thanks again.--(WT-en) Burmesedays 12:07, 28 July 2011 (EDT)

 * I hope someone can go through that and sort out the pricing, it does look a bit better now, hope someone does not see fit to revert it all again. cheers. -- (WT-en) felix 12:00, 28 July 2011 (EDT)

full stop instead of comma
Hi, I agonised over that edit for a bit then changed them as it seems consistent with the style established if the formatting is introduced into a section. This frequently happens in either the Do or the See section of many articles. There are none there now in the Borobudur article but if one is added later then we get a mixed style. This happens a lot in other articles, hence I applied that formatting that part of the Borobudur article. I did not overlook it earlier, rather I hesitated as sometimes it can appear more like a grammatical error than a styling theme. What do you think about that...should it be left with the full stop as there is currently no formatting in that section or should it be globally standardised. I find a lot of the WT formatting style clashes with my own notions of good typographical style. I think one of my pet hates is AM/PM formatting and it looks even more horrible when it is mixed up with am/pm and 24 hr formatting in the same article. I am glad at least that is now somewhat resolved. In regard to the. -, issue Borobudur may be less likely to get a mix of listings in the Do and See sections but many articles do and it looks really messy unless the attractions/listings without formatting are change to a comma as I did in that edit. As with many WT style issues I tend to think it is best to at least standardise globally, even if sometimes it looks a bit odd, as it did with those metre-feet conversions. -- (WT-en) felix 12:39, 27 August 2011 (EDT)
 * I would leave them with a full stop. The opening phrase is like a heading. Whichever, it can't be a comma followed by a capital letter. That is just plain wrong. I could just about live with the heading phrase, then an emdash followed by a lower case letter, but even that is dubious. Those are not listings in any way, they are bulleted prose.  The options are:

 * The birth of Buddha or Lalitavistara. Before the story starts, there are 27 panels showing preparations for the final earthly incarnation. The story then begins with the descent of the Lord Buddha from heaven, and continues until his first earthly sermon as Prince Siddhartha.

I need your permission to create a diving version by adding South Point, Silver Rock, Inch Marlowe, Long Beach, Salt Cave Point, Green Point, Foul Bay, Sam Lords Castle, Long Bay, Cave Bay, Bottom Bay, Palmetto Bay, Kitridge Point, Ragged Point, Consett Bay

I would then have to link your version in the document to the new map which would be based on your full size map. I might crop to the Eastern portion of the Island for the diving version. all credit to you and every formal permissio needed to Upload to Wikivoyage.

Hello Burmesedays,

there is a spelling error on this map. The port of Santiago is not called "Valpairiso" but "Valparaiso"
