Talk:Havana

Shouldn't this be Havana? (WT-en) Professorbiscuit

 * Correct. There are no double-n words in Spanish -- (WT-en) Colin 20:40, 13 Apr 2004 (EDT)

 * Moving the article may be correct, but your reasoning is not. What matters is the English spelling. So what is the English spelling? I always thought with two "n", but I am no native and can't say for certain. -- (WT-en) Nils 01:25, 14 Apr 2004 (EDT)

 * Quite right Nils! My reasoning is flawed.  So let me move on to the correct reasoning now :-).   In English, it is definitely spelled Havana.  Also, in English (or is this just American English?), we general accept the Spanish spellings, and then brutalize it when we pronounce it (for example, Vallejo (California) is pronounced vuh-LAY-ho which is really funny if you know both Spanish and English). -- (WT-en) Colin 01:40, 14 Apr 2004 (EDT)

Varadero Airport
The information about Varadero airport seems out of place. I would suggest moving it to another page, either Varadero or, perhaps, Cuba. Can anyone explain the relationships between the 2 international airports and Havana (city). It seems odd that one city has 2 international (?) airports and that the capital city's airport is not the main gateway; or is my lack of knowledge about Cuba confusing me? -- (WT-en) Huttite 07:39, 30 Jun 2005 (EDT)

 * Problem solved - I hope - Someone plunged forward and made changes, so I copyedited to tidy uo both Havana and Varadero articles. -- (WT-en) Huttite 08:42, 30 Jun 2005 (EDT)

By Bus
Text- For just a few pesos you can take part in the experiment: how many Cubans fit in a Camello. The answer is somewhere around 300 liters. A common joke is that the camellos are like the Saturday night movie - full of violence, sex, and bad language. Remember to bring Peso change as the conductor probably won't be prepared to break a note, and hold on to your wallet. Camellos finished operation in April 2008 and were replaced by modern city buses imported from China.

Is this necessary? Poor and confusing wording that I think should be deleted. And if Camello are to be replaced, does anyone have more info on these modern city buses that it refers to? --(WT-en) MarinaK 15:16, 28 May 2008 (EDT)MarinaK

By Car
Text- Please keep in mind that picking up hitchhikers is almost a moral obligation for the "aware" tourist, especially when travelling between cities. Picking up a hitchhiker can be the best way to arrive to your destination without getting lost.

This should be deleted asap! This is very bad and unsafe advice and picking up hitchhiking should never happen, especially in Cuba!--(WT-en) MarinaK 15:17, 28 May 2008 (EDT)MarinaK.

Hiring a car is a great experience as the road signs are not particularly good but the hitchhikers are.

Again, bad advice! This sentence does not even make sense, and again, favours hitchhiking which should not be encouraged. Needs to be deleted. --(WT-en) MarinaK 15:20, 28 May 2008 (EDT)MarinaK.

 * Actually, I'd feel pretty comfortable about picking up a hitchhiker in Cuba—it's an extraordinarily safe place to travel. That second bit, though is probably a bit too silly. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 15:33, 28 May 2008 (EDT)

By taxi
Somebody with accurate local knowledge should clean up the By taxi section. It is often contradicting and confusing. One paragraph says "The fare in illegal taxis will be no cheaper than the official taxi fare" while the next says "...they are a fun and cheap alternative to the state-run taxis". (WT-en) Carson 19:46, 25 June 2008 (EDT)

Stay Safe
Made this its own section as per Wiki Guidlines. It was messy... a minor cleanup, no content change.

The get in section; especially the "by plane" subsection
I think we could make this flow a bit better; perhaps by making subsections (a bit like Berlin perhaps). But there may be other options... Hobbitschuster (talk) 04:46, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

No guide status ...
... why? Cheers Ceever (talk) 17:45, 25 December 2019 (UTC)

 * If you believe it's a Guide, please plunge forward and change its status. Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:22, 25 December 2019 (UTC)

If anyone is there or has been very recently and wants to add current ferry times to and from Havelock to Port Blair and also Neil Island and upward to Long Island, please help! (WT-en) Cacahuate 10:52, 17 October 2006 (EDT)

Island Vinnie's
Great news that he got it open! They were talking about it when I was there in March... is it safari-style tents the way they had planned? Is there a restaurant or one being planned? Anyone got specifics on the prices? And where is it in relation to Wild Orchid or Orient Legend? Further towards the center or out towards Emerald Gecko? (WT-en) Cacahuate 01:21, 29 October 2006 (EST)

Map
So I made a map... if anyone sees anything that needs to be added, let me know and I'll stick it in. I think it covers what's in the article now, but the article is lacking a few things..., there's more sleep options, etc... we don't have anything in at all that's up near Beach #1, and there are a few people who like to stay up there for some reason. There may be more things up in that area too that are worth noting, but I was literally only there when I arrived and again a month later when I left so I didn't look around really.

Some trails could be added, like the one to Elephant Beach from the Radhanagar road. And there's another little place to stay along the road about 1/2 way between the beach and village #3 junction... but I can't remember the name and it's not in the article.

What's south of Emerald Gecko? I didn't go down there, but heard people talking about a couple trails or something, maybe to some limestone caves? And that you could see a couple elephants down there on someones property? Anything else? If you talk me through it I'll add that stuff to the map, tell me in detail where to put it or do it yourself if you know Inkscape or can mock it up for me in photoshop or Corel Draw or something.

Thanks! – (WT-en) cacahuate  talk 18:47, 29 April 2007 (EDT)

Andaman Dive Club
When I was there last year these guys had gone out of business long ago... has that changed? Did they reopen? Their website is still up, but I'd be surprised if they're up and running again... I think they were kicked out of India for working on tourist visas or something like that. Anyone know? – (WT-en) cacahuate  talk 22:32, 21 May 2007 (EDT)

 * Andaman Dive Club is located at Beach #1.

I took it out for now, I'm fairly sure it didn't reopen. Let me know if I'm mistaken – (WT-en) cacahuate  talk 02:04, 22 May 2007 (EDT)

 * Andaman Diveclub is that oldest dive club At Havelock..I beleave its a small place for serious divers..i dived ther long time ago and my son is also dived from there..and three years back another friend who is diabtetic patient dived from there ...ther are subtile, but very much alive! —The preceding comment was added by (WT-en) 117.204.116.95 (talk • contribs)

Silver Sand
If you describe to me where it is exactly in location to the other places in the area then I can add it to the map too... Also I noticed on their website that they offer scuba diving, did they set up their own operation with their own boats or are they just referring people to Dive India or Barefoot? – (WT-en) cacahuate  talk 00:50, 17 March 2008 (EDT)

Map additions

Crocodiles
I removed the following from the article as it sounds rather agenda-ridden, and is of course complete nonsense. Tourism and dangerous animals co-exist successfully all over the world. UPDATE!!!

Earlier, people never saw a crocodile in Havelock Radhanagar area but still yesterday there was a deadly attack of crocodile on a US bases tourist.

''This is not a healthy sign for the promotion of tourism. If the Administration wants to breed and nurture the man-eater crocodiles, then promotion of tourism especially in the beaches should be stopped. The Administration should not play with the lives of the tourists and local people.''

''Either these Islands should be declared as crocodile sanctuary or a tourist destination. Both the things can not go together. It is the need of the hour to decide whether these Islands will be promoted as a tourist destination or a crocodile Sanctuary. DO NOT GO.'' --(WT-en) Burmesedays 03:07, 4 May 2010 (EDT)

Talk:Hawaii

Food
"Contemporary Hawaiian food, like the language and popular culture, is a medley of traditional Hawaiian, American, and Asian Pacific flavors. Pacific "fusion" cuisine was largely invented in Hawaii."

Food writers should not describe the food served in Hawaii as "Hawaiian." For example, the ubiquitous plate lunch is not Hawaiian food, that is, it is not related to the food of the indiginous people of Hawaii. Typical, if stereotypical, examples of "Hawaiian" food mignt be poi and other forms of taro, or the food that tourists will encournter unfortunately mainly at "luaus" staged for their benefit. There is French food, Chinese food, even fusion cuisine, none of which should be confused with Hawaiian food.

 * Point taken. I changed the phrasing. (WT-en) KeithH 00:49, 30 June 2006 (EDT)

I have removed references to "sugar cane" being grown on oahu, There has been no sugar on oahu for 10+ years. and I agree with the about commenter. I changed a refernce to "local food" vs "hawaiian food" hawaiian food is something distinct. you can get hawaiian food in a plate lunch but a plate lunch is NOT hawaiian food.

The Stay Healthy section is pointless. It should be deleted

Additions
Added references to the NAMES of the Norwegian cruise line boats, Pride of Aloha, and Pride of Hawaii.

Added Links to some of the Hawaiin food listings

Added links and information re: the fact that route schedules for The Bus are also available on http://www.thebus.org

 * Thanks for your work! However, please take a look at Project:External links — we usually only link to "primary sources" (official homepages of airlines, restaurants, etc), and explain concepts like local food items or crime rates on the page.  The idea is that you can print out the page and have everything you need on it, not just a bunch of useless URLs. (WT-en) Jpatokal 11:51, 23 September 2006 (EDT)

Fresh Water Supply
''Hawaii has long prided itself on the taste of its tap water, which is filtered naturally through porous volcanic rock. Not only is Hawaiian tap water safe to drink, but it lacks the chlorine taste present in many areas of the United States.''
 * I don't think this is true any more. If someone can provide a current citation, that would be great. --(WT-en) Viriditas 04:11, 29 Jul 2005 (EDT)
 * Q: Does the Board of Water Supply treat water?
 * A: The natural percolation rain water through the layers of porous lava rock serves as an effective filtering medium for our municipal water supply. The municipal water supply is drawn from artesian and deep wells, and shaft facilities around the island.

 * The BWS chooses to take certain precautions in guaranteeing the safety of our drinking water. Those precautions include using granular activated carbon (GAC) and chlorine in certain areas of Oahu.

 * The presence of trace amounts of pesticide in select sources serving the Central Oahu area prompted the Board to construct seven GAC treatment plants. GAC treatment is a mehtod that is being used to remove pesticides from the water supply in the Mililani, Waipahu, Kunia, and Waialua areas.

 * Q: Is all of our drinking water on Oahu chlorinated?
 * A: No. The BWS chlorinates approximately 60% of the total municipal water supply pumped each day. Chlorine is used to disinfect the water as it moves through the distribution system.

 * In areas where chlorine is added to water, about 0.1 milligram per liter is added at the source. This amount should not cause a noticeable taste or smell when you turn on the water at your tap.  However, if you do notice some chlorine in your tap water, it is a small amount, normally between 0.05 milligram per liter (trace reading) or less.

 * This is from the Board of water supply web site. For more information check out http://hi.water.usgs.gov/

Getting Around
Do you need a car to get around Hawaii? Can you rent bikes? Can you walk? There isn't really any information about that and I'd like to know... 160.79.159.118 13:02, 5 June 2007 (EDT)

 * To get around Hawaii? Try looking at the region pages for the particular islands you want to visit. Renting a car will not work for getting around the entire state, since cars don't work in the Pacific Ocean. --(WT-en) Peterfitzgerald Talk 13:40, 5 June 2007 (EDT)

Taken from Board of Water Supply Honolulu web site: http://www.boardofwatersupply.com/cssweb/display.cfm?sid=1163

Q:   Does the Board of Water Supply treat water? Yes, the BWS treats water in accordance with all federal and state drinking water regulations. Currently, the BWS treats drinking water with chlorine and in certain areas of Oahu the water is treated with granular activated carbon (GAC).

Interstates
There are at least three states who have Interstates that are not connected to other states another is Alaska, I am positive there is a third, but can not remember which one. There was a BIG fuss over this non-issue. So, I deleted info on that. (WT-en) Workerbee 14:59, 10 August 2007 (EDT)

Nine other destinations
We've got two too many right now. Of the remaining red links, I'd keep Waimea Canyon, but I'm unsure of the big island destinations. We need to choose one more red link to keep. Perhaps it would be better to get rid of them all and add a Maui destination? Some volcano? --(WT-en) Peter Talk 23:48, 8 September 2008 (EDT)

 * I plunged, and reduced to eight—some of those didn't make sense to display in the main article. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 09:57, 20 May 2009 (EDT)

Isin
Hawaii is current marked as isin Oceania and isin United States of America. Only one of these appears on the breadcrumbs at the top the article, namely the last one listed, which is Oceania. This makes it the only US state that appears this way. I can see the argument for having it in Oceania, it is a Pacific Island after all. However, I do think it is fairly well understood by most travelers that it is a state of the US, and that is where they would expect it to be. Perhaps the person who added this may not have been aware that the breadcrumbs use the last isin listing. It could still be linked from the Oceania article, though. (Apologies for discussing the obscurities of hierarchies, rather than real travel information, but my brain is firmly in hierarchy mode at the moment) --(WT-en) Inas 20:45, 19 November 2008 (EST)
 * Think we should just have it as USA. Keep smiling, (WT-en) edmontonenthusiast [ee]  .T.A.L.K. 21:17, 19 November 2008 (EST).

 * I've reversed the order of the two isins. --(WT-en) Inas 19:23, 24 November 2008 (EST)

Outline?
This article seems to have much more information than an outline has. It has information in every section, and it probably deserves to at least be usable or even guide.

 * It is not guide as all subregions, cities and other destinations should first be usable. It is also questionable if it is usable as most important cities and other destinations should first be usable, (WT-en) ClausHansen 02:17, 24 January 2010 (EST)

These are the statuses of the subregions, cities and other destinations:

Hawaii

For the Hawaii to become a usable guide, how many subarticles have to be usable (how much does "most" mean)? (WT-en) Sumone10154 12:37, 20 January 2011 (EST)

Dengue fever outbreak
Hawaii's Big Island declares emergency over dengue fever infections, Reuters, Feb 9. Needs some text here & a link to dengue fever. Pashley (talk) 10:11, 12 February 2016 (UTC)

"Sleep"
I was shocked to see that there was no "Sleep" section. Can you imagine? What should go there? I think we want to mention that even in Waikiki, you don't have to pay loads of money for a hotel room if you shop around. We should mention where it is and is not legal to do short-term rentals of rooms and holiday cottages and where it's not. But what else? It's probably good to give very brief descriptions of the situations in each island, but I lack the expertise to do that. Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:30, 3 March 2021 (UTC)

Contradiction in Big Island decription
The Big Island description on this page describes the Saddle Road as both passable and must-see isn't that a contradiction? Tai123.123 (talk) 07:56, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

 * I was confused by your question at first and then understood it. Passable in this case means literally that you can drive on the road (the opposite of "impassible"), not that it's just so-so in quality, beauty or whatever. I guess we should edit to eliminate any ambiguity. Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:59, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Agree. SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 08:56, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I interpreted passable as skippable or subpar, sorry for wording my question in a confusing manner. Tai123.123 (talk) 07:37, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Don't apologize; it's not your fault that "passable" has two meanings. Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:15, 13 March 2022 (UTC)

What would make this article a Guide? It's a spectacular destination and would be good to feature as a Destination of the month at some point. I suppose some listings might need updated pricing? And what else? Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:38, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Plus, as it is one of the main hubs for international flights, people will be passing through here and spending time waiting for connections, where they may well want a hotel/meal/few drinks, so it makes sense to keep it as an article in it's own right. -- (WT-en) Tim 08:45, 14 February 2007 (EST)

 * Keep. Heathrow is the sort of mega-airport that warrants an article. It's arguably its own district of London. - (WT-en) Todd VerBeek 09:47, 14 February 2007 (EST)

 * Problem with all this is that maybe it "could be" an article, but in point of fact, it is not one as of today. If someone wants to turn this into at least an outline, go for it, but I see no point in keeping something around that's completely empty and could fit gracefully into the obvious city article. -- (WT-en) Bill-on-the-Hill 10:03, 14 February 2007 (EST)

 * Started. In fact, I'd be pleased to see most of the Heathrow information in the London article moved here, because it features an unusually specific level of information about where to eat etc, in what is (for all practical purposes) a region article. - (WT-en) Todd VerBeek 11:06, 14 February 2007 (EST)
 * Looks OK to me. Keep; I think there's a clear consensus on this one, so will deal with the paperwork shortly. -- (WT-en) Bill-on-the-Hill 11:23, 14 February 2007 (EST)

Outcome: Kept. -- (WT-en) Bill-on-the-Hill 11:26, 14 February 2007 (EST)

Does this case mean that we can also convert information on other huge airports into separate articles, as long as there's at least as much information as it's here now? --(WT-en) DenisYurkin 04:21, 15 February 2007 (EST)
 * Project:What is an article specifically mentions huge airports as an exception. So I guess the answer is yes. — (WT-en) Ravikiran 05:22, 15 February 2007 (EST)

 * I'd prefer to be very careful with this. Separate articles make sense for special cases like Kansai International Airport, which serves three major cities and is not located near any of them, but these are very much the exception, not the rule. (WT-en) Jpatokal 11:54, 15 February 2007 (EST)

 * Maybe it should be mentioned then at Project:What is an article what are good/bad examples? Like:
 * Good: airport serving multiple cities
 * Good: airport having at least N terminals
 * Bad: all the rest?

Aer Lingus Gold Circle Club Lounge, T1
Wondering whether anyone knows whether it is possible to access the Aer Lingus Gold Circle Club Lounge in Heathrow Terminal 1 from the International Departures Lounge (not Irish/Domestic departures). I would be very grateful if anyone who knows could let me know please. Thanks !203.218.224.75 02:34, 15 April 2007 (EDT)

Bus route 285
I find that my Zone 1,2,3 travelcard on Oyster is accepted on the 285 bus from Feltham Station to Heathrow Central, despite it being a long way outside those zones. I've never been sure if this is some technical oversight or whether it's an intended feature (I've not seen it advertised) but it's worked every time I've tried it. The article doesn't quite say the opposite (it could be referring to the train part of the journey) and I'm wary of saying for sure that it will work for everyone. Can anyone else confirm/refute this?

[I fear the above contribution (mine) is based on ignorance (mine) of how bus ticketing works in London. I've now been told that any Oyster card will give you access to any bus so my 'discovery' is nothing of the sort. Hat, coat, door etc.]

Article content
I've been doing a fair bit of work on this article recently and have appealed in the traveller's pub for suggestions as to exactly what information should be in a major airport article as there aren't any template or star atricles of this type to use as a guide.

Meanwhile I've plunged forward and added information on the changes that are currently occurring at the airport, getting around the airport, facilities, etc. I've also added an unusually detailed amount of information on how to get to and from Heathrow. This contains more detail on the subject than is normal for Wikivoyage. My reasoning for this is that for most people an airport is not a destination unto itself. People are coming and going all the time: It's a transport hub - that's its purpose in the world. When somebody lands at an airport they're generally going to be far more preoccupied with getting out to their actual destination than what they can do there. I hope you agree with this rationale (because it took a fair amount of research!). (WT-en) Phlip 11:58, 17 June 2008 (EDT)

 * I think it's excellent work, and it is definitely not an outline article. Albeit the language could be improved here and there, i think the overall quality is up there, so I promoted it to guide status, the only thing really missing is a map - but feel free to revert it if anyone disagrees.

Listing a hotel in Old Windsor
Any thoughts on providing other options for people who are stuck at the airport in other regions that are equally close. I represent a client who has a property in 10 miles or 15 minutes from London Heathrow Airport (depending on traffic) in Old Windsor, most of the hotels listed are either right at the airport or in Slough or West Drayton. Old Windsor would be a bit more scenic alternative. Thoughts? VerbInteractive (talk) 18:03, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Yeah, why not? There are also be people who travel to the airport the night before their flight (e.g. if they live 100s of miles away but have an early flight) and others who for whatever reason need to be near the airport but don't necessarily want to be within sight of it. I assume you realise you're not allowed to make the listing yourself, but if you post the name and some details of the hotel here, I'd be happy to make the listing. --ThunderingTyphoons! (talk) 19:37, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

 * VerbInteractive can put up listings, as a unique case (so far) of an approved marketer. See User talk:VerbInteractive and Wikivoyage talk:Don't tout. Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:47, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Fantastic, I didn't realise that. I let him get on with it then :) Thanks, --ThunderingTyphoons! (talk) 20:18, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Thanks folks, I have made the listing, a slight variation of the main listing on the Windsor and Eton page. Please review and let me know if you feel any edits are required. VerbInteractive (talk) 15:46, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

 * There is an issue. Shouldn't this listing be in Windsor and Eton? To date, haven't we still adhered to the policy that hotels listed in airport articles should be within the airport? I know there's been talk about changing that policy, but I'm not sure we ever decided on a clear alternative, and 6 miles seems a bit far for inclusion. Ikan Kekek (talk) 12:27, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

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) 05:32, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Difficult choice. The proposed banner is a nice shot, but the original shows the gritty reality of this airport better. Not strongly inclined either way. --Andrewssi2 (talk) 06:23, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Yeah, this is a tough one. Both are good compositions. Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:34, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

 * I like the new proposal. It's a travel site, do we really need to remind folks how unpleasant travelling can be? I am not strongly inclined either, but if I had to pick one, it would be ויקיג'אנקי's proposal. --ThunderingTyphoons! (talk) 12:20, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

 * It's a nice one, I agree we here are in the business of showing the nicest side of things visually. PrinceGloria (talk) 13:56, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

 * I like the symetry of the new one. Danapit (talk) 14:51, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

 * I like the new one as it is not full of text and gives an impression of the scale of the airport. AlasdairW (talk) 19:40, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

 * "do we really need to remind folks how unpleasant travelling can be?" - well, yes :) A realistic travel guide is important. --Andrewssi2 (talk) 01:47, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Realistic - yes, but when it comes to visual garnish, we do need to encourage travelling. What good is a travel guide that highlights delays, queues, possibly bad weather, overpriced and unpleasant food and perhaps unpleasant people you could meet? We could just as well advise readers to forgo any travel as they may find it disappointing and tell them to stay home and watch some TV.
 * Not that it has much to do with the banner at hand, but in general, we should use visuals to highlight the best of every destination or topic and make it feel exciting and worthy of visiting. The text should provide all the caveats, but one man's treat is another's poison, and destinations found awful by many will be delightful to others. And, in my experience, much depends on your initial attitude - if you expect a place to be really nice and exciting, you will often find it to be. PrinceGloria (talk) 05:16, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Fully support the idea that we should show a destination in the best possible light.
 * Heathrow does present 'challenges' to many travellers however. The proposed banner is (I think) the new checkin area in Terminal 5, which is nice, light and spacious. Get the other side in departures and you are dropped in a shiny crowded shopping mall with almost no seating. Andrewssi2 (talk) 05:29, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

 * The point I was making was that everybody knows airports are unpleasant, and anyone with a brain will know that Heathrow is especially bad. Nobody's going to decide on which airport they'll use based on a banner, or even based on this article (readers come here when they already know they'll be using Heathrow in order to plan their journey most effectively). Why not at least make our article look pretty? --ThunderingTyphoons! (talk) 08:48, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Not that it would matter much for our choice of the banner, but I absolutely love airports and find them to be a very pleasant environment and do not regret spending quite a bit of my time there. Which airport terminal in particular is another story :D PrinceGloria (talk) 11:51, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Oh pray do tell :D --ThunderingTyphoons! (talk) 12:20, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

On the topic of the banner, the second one fits to the dimensions better. James A ▪ talk 10:00, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
 * the new alternative is a better image, form and content, although as someone who tends to go through the other cramped and chaotic terminals at Heathrow it does not feel to be representative to me. --Traveler100 (talk) 11:58, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

 * If you ask me the most unpleasant aspect of airports is that most people can't leave them and the people who run them know it. Hence almost everything you find at an airport is hugely overpriced and if you happen to be on a rather tight budget spending more than an hour at an airport is akin to torture... Hobbitschuster (talk) 14:10, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

 * I guess that is it for me Traveler100, the shiny shot of Terminal 5 doesn't feel representative to me of this airport, whereas the imperfect original banner does.
 * Also I dispute ThunderingTyphoons!'s assertion that "anyone with a brain will know that Heathrow is especially bad" - are all people in the world familiar with Heathrow? I frankly doubt that. Andrewssi2 (talk) 23:16, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
 * No, but they know it's one of the busiest airports in the world, situated in one of the world's most-visited cities. I know nothing of JFK or Charles de Gaulle airports, but I can surmise they're probably overcrowded and unpleasant to use. It's just common sense really. I'm of the opinion that we're in the business of selling our destinations (inasmuch as an airport counts as a 'destination'); even though we commit to painting a realistic picture of them, when it comes down to it we do highlight the positives. Terminal 5 on a good day is one of Heathrow's few positives. --ThunderingTyphoons! (talk) 00:00, 13 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I think we should accentuate the positive in pagebanners of destinations. Airports are arguably necessary evils more than destinations, so I believe the watchword should be truth in advertising. That doesn't mean we should portray long lines or tired people waiting near gates, but it does mean to me that it's not essential to show an ugly airport as beautiful. Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:07, 13 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Yeah, fair enough. At the end of the day there's no real need to change the banner, it'll just come down to consensus, which at the moment is mixed. --ThunderingTyphoons! (talk) 00:15, 13 August 2015 (UTC)
 * By the way, I meant to speak in broad generalities. I don't know Heathrow well enough to take a position on its aesthetic qualities, and I also have not expressed a preference for one banner over the other. Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:12, 13 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Proposed. Still hoping for a more wonderful one. Syced (talk) 08:10, 13 August 2015 (UTC)

Blowing the dust off
This article was woefully out of date. I've updated it as best I can, but information on Terminal 2 is lacking and some fares and links are out of date. Some attention from an expert is needed. Scalytail (talk) 23 August 2015

Suggested duplicate name
As pending and now past user of this airport, used this article several times. It took a little effort finding it each time needed because it's internationally-used name is "London Heathrow International Airport".

Talk:Hebrew phrasebook

I don't know if a Hebrew native speaker wrote it or not... LIGH-lah TOHV, I would write as LY-lah, and Eh-rev is surly without the h - it's with Ain (ע) and not with Heh (ה).

"The months are numbered starting from Nisan or Aviv (March-April), but the year number is incremented in Tishrei; thus Elul 5760 is followed by Tishrei 5761."  to this all I have to say is -WHAT???? The first month is Tishrei, the year used to be strat in Nissan who knows when. In the first of Tisgrei there is this big holiday called Rosh-Hashana meaning: Head/begining of the year. (WT-en) F16 14:08, 6 Dec 2005 (EST)

 * Nissan used to be the first month during biblical times, I believe it was changed at around the talmudic times.

And yes, Erev is indeed with an Ain, but the diffrence between Ain and Alef has mostly withered. It wasn't very common among the Ashkenazy Jews in Europe, and was much more common among Sepharadic and Mizrahi Jews, but Sepharadic and Mizrahi Jews of 40- usually use the more Alef-ish version of Ain. And that opens a whole new discussion. Alot of the pronouncations in this article are severely de jure, and do not conform to commonspeech in Israel. I'd say it's going to be much of a hinderance to any foreign who isn't well-familiar and comfortable with Hebrew already to speak in the way the article suggests. Such a distance from the commonspeech will be very bizzare and awkward, and could lead to confusion or even patronization of either side (I've seen quite a few times that an Israeli will ask a foreigner to speak in English, as the Israeli simply doesn't understand the foreigner's Hebrew, and it sounds like garbled gibbrish instead. Note that it happens mostly to foreigners who are very sure of their own Hebrew, and such a request appears to deal a massive blow to the ego of any foreigner who gets it.) Perhaps a revamp of the pronouncations to a less snobbish way is needed. Any expansion of this article in its current state could perhaps cause a wave of foreigners to come to a kiosk and asking for כעכים (ke-A'KH-im). Could be a good laugh. 85.64.12.103 17:19, 9 Dec 2005 (EST)

 * I think we should use the regular common modern pronunciation as used in English-language Israeli newspapers and modern Jewish books for this article. For example, "ke'achim" and "laila", "shalom" and "erev tov". The way it is written now may be fitting for a university student studying Hebrew, but it is total nonsense and almost unreadable for practical use. If nobody objects before June 6th I will start some work on it. --User:(WT-en) Daniel575 30 May 2006

 * The "total nonsense" is pseudo-phonetics, which are designed to be easy for anybody to read with no knowledge of the language, and should most definitely be kept. If you want to add romanizations of the Hebrew script, you're very welcome to do so, but please check Project:Romanization and propose a standard for doing so first -- we haven't managed to come up with one yet. (WT-en) Jpatokal 22:00, 29 May 2006 (EDT)

 * Those rules Project:Romanization look AMAZING!!! That's excellent. That's normal regular civilized English. (Noting that I only read the chet=ch and tzadik=tz things.) No weird H's for a chat/chaf/kaf, no Q's, etc. For example: Beer Sheva instead of Beersheba. Petach Tikvah instead of Petaq Tiqwa. Ma'aleh Adumim instead of Maale Adummim, Beit Shemesh instead of Beth Shemesh, Chevron instead of Hevron, Bnei Brak instead of Bene Beraq. --(WT-en) Daniel575 07:14, 11 July 2006 (EDT)
 * Oops, I was wrong. It is Chewron and Petach Tiqwa. There is no way on earth that I am ever going to transliterate a Vav as /W/ nor is there any way that I am ever going write a Kof as /Q/. --(WT-en) Daniel575 07:19, 11 July 2006 (EDT)

 * Huh? In the UN system, kof is /K/ and vav is /V/. Footnote 12 only says that Q/W were used in the previous Israeli system. (WT-en) Jpatokal 11:32, 1 October 2009 (EDT)

 * The proposed banner is a better quality picture, but not interesting in any way. Wikivoyage banners have plenty of empty scenery and landscapes devoid of life. The ferry in the original gives a better feel of life here. --Andrewssi2 (talk) 00:51, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

 * When I created the original banner I was looking for something that was common to a varied group of islands, and ideally not too specifically a view of one island. Most of the islands are served by Caledonian MacBrayne (Calmac) ferries, and a treeless landscape with visible rock patches is a fairly common scene, particularly in the the Outer Hebrides. I admit that the new banner is a better photo, but I prefer the original (but I am biased). AlasdairW (talk) 20:51, 24 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I vote #2, the ferry does not seem to be particularly typical of that place. Syced (talk) 10:54, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Hebron

The statement "A vast majority of the violence has been perpetrated by Israelis against Palestinians and the copious amount armed military men guarding the groups is evidence of the deep fraudulence." - is not supported by evidence, and is an expression of an anti-Israel bias of the writer. Only one murderous attack by an Israeli (Baruch Goldstein) against Arabs was recorded in Hebron. There were incidents of harrassment, curses, etc directed towards Arabs. On the other hand, the history of Arab attacks on Jewish civilians, in Hebron and elsewhere, is extensive; it includes many shooting episodes against civilians and military guards. It is also notable that the Jewish population had to leave Hebron after a massacre in 1929, ending many centuries of continuous coexistence with Arabs.

Hebron settler's tour
I saw that my deletion of the "Hebron Settler's tour" from the do-section got reversed. My reason for removing the tour from list was and still is, that the tour is against the illegal activities policy of Wikivoyage. I know that, as I have participated in the tour myself, but even reading on the tours website gives a clear impression that it violates the basic human rights of the Palestinians living in the souk of Hebron. The Hebron Settler's tour starts in the Israeli occupied area around Shuhada street, and then goes through the souk, forcing Palestinian residents out of their own city. The soldiers accompanying the tour will routinely enter shops and homes of Palestinian families, thus violating the Protocol Concerning the Redeployment in Hebron, part of the Interim Agreement on the West Bank. For this reason, the tour is always monitored by the Temporary International Presence in Hebron (TIPH) as well as by numerous international NGO's. Ikan Ekek stats in the page history that "We don't go by international law on this site, but by de facto control". The tour mostly takes place in the area of H1 which is under both legally and de facto control of the Palestinian Authorities, except for the 90 minutes every saturday when the tour takes place. Jeppe Robot (talk) 18:30, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

 * I would suggest that the best way of dealing with this is not to delete the listing but to put just the kinds of explanations you just gave into the entry. I could give analogies to other activities of questionable legality but de facto possible that are covered on this guide, such as Urbex. But I'm not sure, now that I see these details, that this tour should in fact be listed at all, and I'd like some more opinions on this. Thanks for clarifying. Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:02, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Ok, you've got me there. -- (WT-en) Sapphire • (Talk) • 15:44, 1 April 2007 (EDT)

 * Oi cacahuate, mind your language. You shouldn't be using f*** words around here. (WT-en) Upamanyuwikivoyage • ( Talk ) • ( (WT-en) Travel ) • 07:14, 13 April 2007 (EDT)

 * Why the fuck not? Ok sorry, I'll be good from now on... – (WT-en) cacahuate   talk 11:16, 13 April 2007 (EDT)

 * You'd better be. My opinion of you has already gone down drastically. Please do not curse in public, especially when I'm around. But then I presume it's acceptable in America. But try to bear in mind the fact that I

 * am from Bengal, where abusive language has a no-tolerance policy associated with it
 * myself loathe abusive language and people who use it'''

 * Well, hopefully you'll forgive me, there's lots more to my personality than the words I occasionally use. At least your getting some insight into American culture. Of course there are people who are offended by it here too, but it's not as harsh as it might sound to you over there. Prepare yourself when you come to California, because you'll be hearing it all the time :)   – (WT-en) cacahuate   talk 00:16, 14 April 2007 (EDT)

DEINDENTING. I heard that San Francisco's real nice though. My dad was at LA (university) but didn't seem to like it much. (WT-en) Upamanyuwikivoyage • ( Talk ) • ( (WT-en) Travel ) • 00:23, 14 April 2007 (EDT)

Myer Centre
I'd just like to reiterate, I was gassed not one, but 3 TIMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope you're all listening. – (WT-en) cacahuate  talk 15:36, 1 April 2007 (EDT)

 * Yeah, and the only sleep options are in Sihanoukville. -- (WT-en) Sapphire • (Talk) • 15:53, 1 April 2007 (EDT)

 * I feel like you're not taking me seriously Sapphire. Do you know what it feels like to be violated like that, not one but 3 TIMES???? You wanna know what else? I went there for lunch today and caught a man trying to spike my drink, which would've made it FOUR times had I not caught him!!!! That place is CRAZY!!!!!! Anyway, I'm sure it won't happen again, do you wanna meet there for dinner tonight? I love meeting other Wikivoyageer's. And Sapphire is my favorite color... – (WT-en) cacahuate  talk 16:00, 1 April 2007 (EDT)

 * Durka. Durka? Durka One Star Bandit.  Durka durka Sihanoukville. -- (WT-en) Sapphire • (Talk) • 16:22, 1 April 2007 (EDT)

If you've been drink spiked four times there too it truly shows how crime ridden this place is!

 * I know, right? Gosh, you and I have so much in common! I feel like you're my long lost brother/sister/tranny. If you're ever in LA let me know, I'd love to compare gassing stories with you over a cup of coffee at the Beverly Center (I've only been gassed once there, so I think we're likely to survive). Anyway, xoxo  – (WT-en) cacahuate   talk 01:56, 28 April 2007 (EDT)

location image...
sorry, i reverted it thinking you had replaced the flag, but then realized it was just an addition. Where the hell is that image anyway, is that a prison? – (WT-en) cacahuate  talk 23:23, 12 April 2007 (EDT)
 * Well, that looks more like the FBI hq.s if you ask me (WT-en) Upamanyuwikivoyage • ( Talk ) • ( (WT-en) Travel ) • 08:08, 16 April 2007 (EDT)
 * Regardless, the image was uploaded without a license and looks suspiciously like a copyvio, so it will probably have to be deleted. - (WT-en) Todd VerBeek 08:37, 16 April 2007 (EDT)
 * Well, I hadn't realized that. But, yeah, the uploader hadn't specified a license. Pity, I like the image :( (WT-en) Upamanyuwikivoyage • ( Talk ) • ( (WT-en) Travel ) • 09:37, 16 April 2007 (EDT)

Why is the official language of Hell British English. Should be Hebrew, right? And why does the British English link to Thai phrasebook? Part of the joke? (WT-en) Upamanyuwikivoyage • ( Talk ) • ( (WT-en) Travel ) • 09:37, 16 April 2007 (EDT)

 * I picked British English, partly because I don't think it would really offend anyone, whereas Hebrew would be a little more iffy. And partly because I like to make fun of British English... they invented the language, but Americans perfected it. – (WT-en) cacahuate  talk 16:41, 16 April 2007 (EDT)
 * Last American I know off that could speak English was Bill Cosby ;) --(WT-en) NJR_ZA 16:51, 16 April 2007 (EDT)

 * Precisely. BTW, the Am.s did not perfect the language, they distorted it. (WT-en) Upamanyuwikivoyage • ( Talk ) • ( (WT-en) Travel ) • 05:28, 17 April 2007 (EDT)

 * perfected / distorted, tomaayyyto / tomaaahhhhto, don't get so hung up on semantics Upamanyu – (WT-en) cacahuate   talk 16:37, 18 April 2007 (EDT)

 * For once, I've got to confess that I prefer the latter (WT-en) Upamanyuwikivoyage • ( Talk ) • ( (WT-en) Travel ) •

But I prefer BritEng any day. (WT-en) Upamanyuwikivoyage • ( Talk ) • ( (WT-en) Travel ) • 07:22, 19 April 2007 (EDT)
