I find this insertion problematic. I think unless there is a reference it should be heavily modified. Really?? because of the heat?! The economic downturn would be believable but Argentina has seen much worse economic downturns and crime statistics don't always reflect economic trends.

I've noticed that you added Jaipur and Pune in the section description, and I do not object that !!!

But, if you add them in the same sentence, deleting Surat without even discussing it with me on my talk page, you're making a huge mistake !!! I am not going to allow that. You may add your cities in a different sentence. You have no right to remove Surat or any of the description before any discussion. Chintanvarma (talk) 01:24, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

Hi! Thanks for this very kind message on the talk page. Just to let you know, it is the first time I do a wikivoyage page so you'd better help instead of saying "nice" things like that. I am at the moment doing an internship and I've been asked to translate the page of the Pays de Montfort from French to English. Yes I'm French so of course there are several mistakes in my English but at least I try. Maybe you should edit the page and be helpful as you speak better English than I do and also if you know better the district and the cities... Thanks!

Real estate
Hello, and welcome to Wikivoyage. Please note that our aim is to provide practical information for the average travelller. Even though a very small portion of visitors to Rio may be interested in buying real estate during a trip, using Wikivoyage an advertising brochure or yellow pages are two of the things we'd like to avoid.

Welcome to Wikivoyage
Hello Inas, nice to meet you =) As you probably guessed I'm a bit of a newbie as opposed to you who seems to be quite experienced with Wikivoyage. Having done a bit of research I understand why you have removed my text on Darwin, you are totally right to do so. However there is more to this story! I hope you can help me get a good outcome. The incidences of text I have added were my original work, having had an on going working relationship with Tourism Northern Territory. My understanding is that in this situation my work is acceptable for wikivoyage. You of course were not to know this. So you as the knowledgeable one! How is the best way for me in my situation to add content I have written for travel NT to wikivoyage? Do I need to simply mention it, if so where? Or do I need some other license? Sorry to trouble you, really hope you can help. Thanks in advance, Lex.

Thanks for making contributions to some of the NT pages. However, please note that Wikivoyage cannot reuse the content from other webpages without specific permission from the website owner to relicence their content. --(WT-en) Inas 03:02, 18 September 2008 (EDT)

Regarding the article, it is sufficiently broad for a webpage but could do with some extra reference points, such as the Living in Indonesia website (http://www.expat.or.id/) and more specialist websites - many of which can be found on my blog Jakartass (http://jakartass.net)

Judging from the reviews, my rewrite of 'Culture Shock! Jakarta'' (pub. Marshall Cavendish 2nd edition Jan 2011) is invaluable for newbies to Jakarta.

 * Please have a look at Project:External links. While the links you are adding are to the official tourism agencies (which is good), there should not be an "external links" section on any article as those sections tend to be magnets for spammers.  Instead, the official link to a destination goes at the top of the article next to the destination name.  In the cases of the destinations you've updated the official link is already present, so no further change is needed.

Hello. I am disppointed that your have reverted this page to a version by 'Swissbelg', and then blocked editting. His recent actions have been both unhelpful and arrogant. Three people, of which I am one, have editted the wording of a section. 'Swissbelg' has consistently reverted these changes. Not only is the version he insists on less accurate but he appears to consider his opinion superior to those of others: 3 other people. When a number of people are consistent in oppostion to his then it seems reasonable that he should accept that his edits shouldn't remain. —The preceding comment was added by (WT-en) 202.180.108.136 (talk • contribs)
 * When an edit war occurs, we are encouraged to keep the status quo (the version previous to the edit war) and discuss on the talk page until a consensus is reached. You may say that 3 other people disagree with Swissbelg, but it could just as easily be you at three different IP addresses-- it would be helpful to make a user account so people can see who made what edit more easily and to give you a little credibility-- and you have been told more than once to bring it up on the talk page. For the record, I agree with Swissbelg, that we at Wikivoyage prefer colorful, entertaining prose. What is written there is not wrong because it is obviously tongue-in-cheek, and that's fine. (WT-en) texugo 21:39, 14 April 2011 (EDT)
 * By the way, I blocked editing only for unregistered users who haven't bothered to make a user account. (WT-en) texugo 21:39, 14 April 2011 (EDT)
 * "What is written there is not wrong because it is obviously tongue-in-cheek, and that's fine." But the issue is 3 people wanted another version (which itself was not wrong) but 'Swissbelg' chose to ignore this consensus and insist on that they preferred.
 * This edit summary clearly demonstrates that 'Swissbelg' believes "what they think is correct, everyone else is wrong and therefore what they think should be included."
 * It's very easy to identify that the changes which 'Swissbelg' ignored and rubbish are from 3 different people:, ,.
 * "..unregistered users who haven't bothered to make a user account." And do you really believe your and 'Swissbelg' actions encourage people to join?
 * Like it or not, things are being reverted back and forth, and that is what we call an edit war. When that happens, we keep the pre-change version and we take it up on the discussion page. I'm not saying your change will not be allowed to stay, but you cannot make your point by edit warring. Please state your reasons for wanting the change on the discussion page at Talk:Laos.

Hello, 71.249.206.232 Welcome to Wikivoyage.

Nusa Lembongan, Sleep listings
You have recently been editing the Nusa Lembongan Sleep, section.

I have reverted a great deal of your editing as it has been confusing in both content and intent. Please have a look at Manual of style before doing any more editing on this or other articles.

Somewhat more concerning is your recent editing on contact details in the Sleep section, in particular listings that are connected to Victoryshine associated properties. You have been changing the email addresses to one that is different to that listed in the contact section provided at the Victoryshine URL If you for some reason think there is a supportable justification for giving a different email contact  then please raise the matter on the Discussion page for the article and state your reasons there. Please do not just edit the detail back in again without explaining your motives on the Discussion page first. If there is some confict over who these properties should be attributed to and who is handling the bookings then please detail the problem there. Please, DO NOT just change these details again. Explain first on the articles Discussion page, otherwise your edits may all be reverted without further consultation with you. Also please do not add the detail "Nusa Lembongan" or "Lembongan" to the Sleep section or to other listings, we already know they are in Nusa Lembongan, that is the subject of the article, it just wastes space repeating redundant information.

 * I suggest that if you wish to continue editing on Wikivoyage it would be a good idea for you to consider registering a user name so that the source of your edits is clear and you do not become confused with any other editor using the same IP address. It is also important to establish a User identity so that there is less chance of your edits being misinterpreted as either vandalism or edit waring. I am sure this is not the case here and that your edits have been well intentioned. This is all the more reason that it would be best for you to register a user name before you edit any further.

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

Please stop touting
You need to read Project:Don't tout and stop trying to put this stuff back into the entry about Sam So Guesthouse in Siem Reap:

"located in the heart of Siem Reap city"

We know it's in Siem Reap, and an address is provided.

"about 15 minutes drive Angkor Wat and about 15 minutes drive to airport"

Big deal. Is that unusually close?

"People of this guesthouse are very friendly,honest and helpful,reliable. You will feel at home when you stay at this guesthouse .High recommended !"

Sounds self-serving, among other things.

I mean, in a way, I suppose, it's good that you feel so good about yourself, but why should others believe you? A listing is more believable if it just describes the guesthouse - its rooms, its appearance, its amenities. And this is not an advertising site.

See Project:Accommodation_listings. That will show you what should be in a listing and what shouldn't be. If you care.

Dear Sir,
Thanks for your interest in entering into a business relation, but you have misunderstood the nature of our site. We are a Wiki, a travel guide edited by thousands of volunteer Wikivoyagers. Anyone can edit a page and add useful information, but we adhere to certain guidelines, the most important of which is that the traveller comes first. You have legitimate and useful information to provide to travellers. You can put them in the appropriate destination guide, e.g. South India, Kerala or Alleppey. Please make sure that you write from the traveller's point of view, do not overhype your services, do not put down competitors and adhere to our Manual of style. If you fail to do so, someone else will come and edit your writing to conform. Also, it would be great if you could create a log in for yourself, and create a user page, where you clearly identify who you are. Hope this helps. Thank you. — (WT-en) Ravikiran 14:41, 24 May 2006 (EDT)

Hello!

Welcome to Wikivoyage. You can edit your preferences to change how the software works for you. Please take a second to look at our copyleft and policies and guidelines, but feel free to plunge forward and edit some pages. Scanning the Manual of style, especially the article templates, can give you a good idea of how we like articles formatted. If you're new to our wiki software, MediaWiki, look at the Wiki markup to get an idea of how to edit a page. If you need help, check out the help desk, and if you need some info not on there, post a message in the travellers' pub.

You may want to look at our external links guidelines for some more ideas about what kind of links we want on Wikivoyage guides. --(WT-en) Evan 18:52, 19 December 2006 (EST)

Howdy! You're doing great work, thank you very much for it.

Suggestion: when you start a new page, try clicking on the "city" link just above the edit box. That will pre-fill the page with one of our article templates. I realize that a hill-station isn't a "city", per se, but we still need the same information for it.

Thanks again, and please feel free to create a user account if you want to. Let me know if you need anything else. --(WT-en) Evan 17:39, 13 September 2006 (EDT)

Counties as travel destinations
As mentioned to you before, we do not normally create US Counties as travel destinations. If you feel a county should be a destination, please go ahead and poplulate it with information. There are areas in the USA where counties apply, but Kansas is not one of them. Thanks! -- (WT-en) Tom Holland (xltel) 07:00, 11 October 2006 (EDT)

Moving articles
If you create a user account, you can move pages rather than copying-and-pasting. It's preferable since the history of the page is retained. --(WT-en) Evan 11:42, 22 December 2006 (EST)

Just to add to what Evan said... when you have a user account, you don't need to provide any identifying information about yourself. It's just a way for the Wiki to track all the changes made by you. You can even name the account AnonymousGuy or whatever. -- (WT-en) Colin 14:01, 2 January 2007 (EST)

 * Adding one more voice, only logged-in users can move an article. If you disambiguate an article by copying the old article and creating a new article instead of moving the original article you lose all author & history information, which is important to many people.  The cleanups you're doing are appreciated, but by not having an account you've now erased the contribution history of several articles, which is kind of a big deal.  PLEASE create an account. -- (WT-en) Ryan 14:11, 2 January 2007 (EST) *BUMP*

Project:Discover criteria
Thanks for your interest in keeping Project:Discover high-quality, but I think you may have gone too far. Note that the guidance says that referenced articles "should" have a status of Usable or above, not that they must have such status. Because the list of trivia there is not very long, we are being forced to use some material from Outline articles to avoid running out of stuff. I wish it weren't so, but since it is, I've reverted your changes. (Incidentally, I echo Ryan's entreaty to create an account.) -- (WT-en) Bill-on-the-Hill 09:38, 3 January 2007 (EST)

Hi, 203. I just wanted to take a second to say thanks for the immense amount of work you do on Wikivoyage with the awarding of a Barnstar. I should probably work up an appropriately bombastic delivery for this award, something like:

 * Example requested Redonda Island points to Redonda that dabs.... what?
 * or Redonda island points to Redonda that dabs.... what?
 * both of the above redirects would work regardless of capitalization, and all three are worthless for a traveler as they point to Redonda's that do not have articles.

Woodworth
There has been much heated debate on whether every map dot should get its own article, with the general consensus being that if you can sleep there it gets an article OR if someone wants to write an article about their home town then an article is OK. In the case of the two Woodworth's that are linked to from the disambiguation page you created, one has a population of 80, and the other is a part of a larger town in Louisiana, so I'm not sure that they actually meet the article criteria...

Disambiguation Naming
Normally we don't us the (disabmiguation), but use the base name as the disambiguator and all of the articles are dab'ed.

Hello! Welcome to Wikivoyage. If you want to specialize your experience you may want to consider editing your preferences.

If you need help, check out Project:Help, and if you need some info not on there, post a message in the travellers' pub.

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

Thank you for contributing. -- (WT-en) Tom Holland (xltel) 19:42, 9 October 2006 (EDT)

Wahpeton (disambiguation)
Please read Project:How to rename a page and Project:Article naming conventions. Wahpeton should be moved to Wahpeton (North Dakota), and then the old Wahpeton page should be manually edited into a disambiguation page. The exception to this rule is when one place is "so much more famous" than another that a disambiguator like "(North Dakota)" would be silly.

To move a page you will obviously need to create a login, as numerous people have told you numerous times. If you are unwilling to do so it would be polite for you to at least explain why so that we can better understand how to work with you. Also, if you are unwilling to login it would probably be best if you limited your contributions to areas that do not require logged-in user status - your contributions are appreciated, but it we now have a lot of incorrect "(disambiguation)" pages that someone else will eventually need to clean up. -- (WT-en) Ryan 12:37, 10 January 2007 (EST)

I've reverted the addition of inozo.com to the spam list - a tour operator for Canada is probably a violation of Project:External links, but it's not spam. As far as I can see there hasn't been any effort made to educate this user about our external links policy, and they have not been incessantly adding links.

Also, it would be helpful if you could at least give some reason why you don't want to create a login. It's fine if you don't, but ignoring people asking you to do so is frustrating, and without a login it's extremely difficult to know who we're dealing with when we see lots of anonymous edits or comments. -- (WT-en) Ryan 16:16, 22 September 2006 (EDT)

Changing page name and moving text
Hi, Thank you for all your contributions. I just wanted to let you know the best way to change the page name is to do a "Move" (tab at the top) in lieu of copying text to a new page. That way the talk page can be moved at the same time and all the history is moved also. Another advantage, is the previous page is automagicly set as a redirect to the new page. thanks! -- (WT-en) Tom Holland (xltel) 09:45, 26 September 2006 (EDT)

 * I'm pretty sure unregistered users can't move pages. Friendly anonymous helper: setting up a pseudonymous user account would give you access to a few more functions (image upload, page moving, some other stuff I can't recall). Especially for page moving, that's a big help, since copy-and-paste loses the history of a page and thus the authorship credits. --(WT-en) Evan 09:51, 26 September 2006 (EDT)

Who is shouting?? Please stop giving false information. I have asked you on numerous occasions about your source. Whats your problem....Afraid of embarresing yourself? And once again why have you not updated your advice regarding: http://www.travelfish.org/accommodation_profile/cambodia/southern_cambodia/sihanoukville/ochheuteal_beach/all/1231/0?ord=0 You place such great faith into that travel site.....why dont you want to use the information in their above link?? Why are you putting false room rates?? You know nothing about this business....nothing.

About Bamboo Island....dont worry I can give you the correct information on that. First I want to clear this up.

I have a good mind to tell an admin to bump you off this site. Why do you consantly remove info off articles. And if Sapphire claims tht he is a celebrity in the UK, what's your prob? You can believe him or not believe him (if you ask me Sapphire's an honest guy). Your stupid edits will be reverted with a rollback button anyway, one click and back to normal. Secondly, mind your language. Wikivoyage's not the place to go around calling others pigeon f***ers, see User talk:(WV-en) Sapphire.

So kindly stop all this nonsense and behave yourself. You have two options, stop your weird edits and make some good edits for a change. Or simply get lost. Bye,

If you need help, check out Project:Help, and if you need some info not on there, post a message in the travellers' pub. -- Please use the Project:Sandbox if you want to experiment; otherwise, people may take steps to block your contributions. Also, I recommend creating a user account. (WT-en) Jonboy 10:23, 14 Feb 2006 (EST)

You've been provided several pointers to our Project:Don't tout guideline, yet continue to re-add the same text to Rincón. Be aware that while contributions from business owners are welcome, re-adding a listing that is overtly promotional, and especially doing so multiple times, may lead to blacklisting of your business. -- (WT-en) Ryan • (talk) • 14:57, 11 August 2010 (EDT)
