User talk:Felix505/Archives 2009

This is an archive of discussions on my (WT) talk page from 2009 - early 2010 No further edits should be made to this page

Hi Felix. I am guessing from the edit history of [Lombok] that anonymous user 125.167.150.126 might be you. Please see the messages below which I placed on that user talk page today. Thanks for all your work on Lombok.--(WT-en) Burmesedays 06:45, 6 October 2009 (EDT)

 * Hello, 125.167.150.126! Welcome to WT.

 * 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. If you need help, check out Project:Help, or post a message in the travellers' pub.--(WT-en) Burmesedays 03:11, 6 October 2009 (EDT)

 * Thank you for all the work you are doing on Lombok. Could you please though avoid giving references for the points you are making about history and culture. WT does not require references and citations and we make a point here of stressing that we are not an encyclopedia. Thanks and please keep it up!--(WT-en) Burmesedays 03:11, 6 October 2009 (EDT)

 * And please do not repeat everything in every article! Indonesian driving habits, for example, belong in Indonesia, not Lombok and Senggigi and Mataram and... (WT-en) Jpatokal 07:44, 6 October 2009 (EDT)

 * Felix, I just like to assist my fellow WTers here: Please stop adding links! This a travel guide and not wikipedia. I reverted your edits. (WT-en) jan 09:13, 6 October 2009 (EDT)

Content placement and guidance
When working on Lombok and its sub-articles, you might like to refer to Bali for some guidance about what should go where. For example this:

''There is also a Warung [16] catering to local people selling fresh and well prepared traditional Sasak Food at 'Warung Mur' to take away (Nasi Bonkos) or eat at the rough bench in front of Mur's warung or taken to the nearby beach. Cold drinks may be purchased at Warung Amsi a few meters north opposite Windy Beach Cottages [17] entrance gates and next to the small Handfone and Pulsa (pre-paid phone credit) shop (Maya Cell). (information current mid-late 2009) This is a good place to buy some traditional local food and some cold refreshments at harganya biasa (local prices) for the trip northwards as everything becomes a lot quieter once you cross the northern headland of Mangsit bay.''

.. should really be in the Senggigi article under eat or drink, not in Lombok in the get around section.--(WT-en) Burmesedays 08:19, 6 October 2009 (EDT)

Welcome
Hello, Felix505! Welcome to WT.

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. If you need help, check out Project:Help, or post a message in the travellers' pub.

 * I have seen your comment on the Senggigi talk page. WT is consensus oriented and therefore communication is appreciated. Please discuss major changes and have a look on the formatting so everybody can have fun. I case of uncertainty feel free to contact other users. (WT-en) jan 07:16, 8 October 2009 (EDT)

response
I hope my attempts to revise the Lombok and Senggigi pages has at least prodded the dead horse back into life now. Upon first viewing those pages it struck me that the style of writing indicated the considerable work of maybe only 1-3 people without much apparent follow up by others then it appears to have somewhat died from lack of further attention some number of years ago. Maybe I misread that but the time capsule quality of the information pretty much tells the story itself.

Again and with sincerity, I hope my contribution has assisted the WT purpose and that many others may be interested to keep the lombok information program alive, growing and up to date and that I have not offended anyone although it seems somewhat apparent that I have. if indeed I have it is unintended and of course I apologise for any noses or other things that may have been put out of place.

However, GT Air stopped flying years ago and Lion AirWings also stopped DPS-AMI-DPS years ago and there were many other serious problems with content and accuracy. I do not aim to pick fault, far from it as doing this sort of thing has no clear and tangible reward but it was clearly apparent that both "Lombok" and Senggigi Area" were really seriously out of date "Lombok"="chilli" in bahasa "indonesian" (whoops) I hope that was only a typo rather than an indication of someone seriously struggling with their own understanding of both Lombok and Bahasa Indonesian. What was that doing sitting right there in clear view right on the middle of the Lombok page, and there was much more.

My own revisions where authored in direct response to the daily tortures and confusions I have seen many tourists enduring in Lombok. Nothing is served by visitors to Lombok having their stay ruined by a fight with a greedy and short sighted car renter or some other opportunistic misfit. Information is a premium commodity and the more plentiful, accurate and adjusted to target the better. If they seemed off topic I assure you they are not off topic on the streets of Senggigi as I have seen some funny things going on from time to time.

For the future well being of the Sasak people, the tourism operators and the visitors themselves Lombok as a destination needs to be demystified as much as possible without sucking the 'adventure' out of it for people. It is a trip to a remote tropical area in a distant province of a large, dynamic and potentially challenging archipelago. It is not constructive to sanitise it or soften it but the less people suffer from nonsense the more they will enjoy the place and both give to it and learn from it.

The happier visitors to Lombok are the more adventurous they will become and all the better for the story they tell when they get home. Similarly the more the local culture is understood and promoted the more likely it will be preserved instead of being swamped by tourism and it's commercially driven motivations. Lombok is lucky to have an intact culture but tourism development can and is easily leaving the sasak of the table and relegated to sweeping the floors and manicuring the lawns instead of them having a significant stakeholding in the whole thing.

Lombok could easily get sanitised into being just another tropical resort with anonymous 'foreign' speaking brown skinned people quietly pandering to the needs of tourists who go home not knowing or even caring it they were in the caribbean, malaysia, bali, maldives thailand or lombok. In the case of many they are not going to lombok because they think they will be confronted by fanatical bomb lobbing muslim extremists. Frankly I think they are more likely to get done in by a falling coconut or one of lombok many homicidal drivers. Maybe lombok does not even need such scaredy cat tourists arriving and maybe all the global war on terror fantasy stuff keeps the idiots at home watching tv but still I think something like the WT site can help on many levels. Also it has an air of authority and credibility to it I guess in part to its partial similarities to Wikipedia andthat sites own developing resource and sense of credibility.

I am obviously a bit disheartened by the outcomes of my attempts to clean up what had obvious appearances of neglect. Slash and burn of a contributors work whilst it is still being formed is rather like throwing a cold bucket of water over the person making lunch. Almost without doubt the person will pack up and go home and lunch preparations will not be finished. Don't worry, I got the hint.

I (naively) hoped in putting up the initial rework that if by any chance there was any interest then some others may get involved. Frankly due to the 'forgotten' appearance of both pages and their seriously obsolete information I assumed not. Consequently I had no expectation of assistance and was prepared to see it through on my own should that be necessary. I was surprised when someone (sorry I have not looked back over the histories but I am sure you know who you are) did a a quick format and content rearrangement of a section of airline info. This surprised me but gave considerable encouragement.

Understanding it would take me no doubt several days to try and breath some life back into the two pages if I was working alone I got rather encouraged thinking that WT was 'as advertised', that is, a community effort. The effort sadly degenerated into little more than frequent massive ablations of anything further put up before I could even adequately review it or see if someone else had added a constructive further contribution/edit/formatting or similar. Given that both pages were not in good shape before and had many errors apparently of several years vintage then surely there was nothing so bad about what I was uploading that it needed to be torn down, put back up, and torn down again and generally derided so that both myself and anyone else who might be foolhardy enough to become involved would probably have the good sense to just abandon it as a lost cause and go off line. What was the emergency and if there was one why did nobody do anything to the pages to fix them themselves rather than getting their noses out of joint when I had a go at it. Really is the outcome of the Lombok page all that bad a couple of days later, surely it is a bit better than it was before and at least is a bit more up to date. If you do not like my writing style ok I am not offended in any way frankly I am not sure that I am all that fond of it myself but at least give someone a chance to do something with out tipping it all into the sink before it has a moments to shine a light of clarity upon it.

BTY I do not seek to try and change the formula if already firmly established but if people did give appropriate links and attributions it might go a long way to making sure content was up to date and assist in ensuring that what contributors upload is not just something they dreamed up whilst staring into a flat glass of beer in an airport lounge somewhere. Also it would assist people to just go and learn about something or seek clarification this especially so on a website where anyone con just come along and write something completely silly on a page and then vanish again.

I continued only because I wanted to rid the pages of the misleading sort of information that so often confuses people arriving in Lombok and because in the best traditions of 'concorde syndrome' I thought I may as well just press on and either finish it myself or see someone else get constructively involved. As I mentioned on the Senggigi discussion page I hope it has a happy ending. If you are going to be protective about it try and remember that it needs an occasional walk in the sunshine or it will die.

Frankly I do not use WT when I travel, just never really thought to do it but I really hope the information I came upon on the Lombok and Senggigi does not represent the accuracy of other WT pages. If it does there must be a lot of unhappy Wikicampers wandering around out there looking for taxis that are not there to go to nightclubs that don't exist and having fights with locals because they think they are being ripped off when they are in fact getting a discount and then overwhelmingly disappointed with the whole thing then trying to book a flight to somewhere else instead on an airplane that has not flown for years.

Help me understand this, WT is meant to be enhancing this experience in which particular way...surely people can screw things up perfecttly well on their own with out misleading information from an 'authoritve' website helping them to make it even worse. Frankly I wonder if I will look at the site in a week or so and discover the previous page I first saw put back up again. Maybe GT Air will be flying again on WT some day soon. Thanks for the kind comments that were made on a couple of occasions.

Maybe we will meet at the lost baggage counter one day and have a good laugh about this.

 * Hi Felix. WT is a collaborative effort written and administrated 100% by volunteers like yourself. That the Lombok and Senggigi articles were out of date and contained some factual errors should not be a surprise. WT relies on people like you putting that right. And there is no doubt that both of these articles have been improved by your efforts. When you embarked on this task though you will see that myself and other users were trying to get your attention and make clear guidelines on what goes where, the lack of need for repetition, citing references etc.
 * WT can only work if the hierachical structure is adhered to..... otherwsie it all becomes a bit messy very quickly. The structure for Senggigi for example is Asia-> South East Asia-> Indonesia-> Nusa Tenggara-> Lombok-> Senggigi.  Only information pertinent to Senggigi should go in the Senggigi article... and so on.  If you have any doubts, please look at developed articles for similar destinations. I suggested Bali would be a reasonable place to start as a large amount of work has been done on those articles recently (although they are certainly not perfect).
 * On citing references. No travel guide ever does this nor should it. WT is not an encyclopedia and indeed, encourages original writing.
 * Personally I care a lot about Lombok and all of the Lombok articles were and still are on my own list to address - have a look at Mount Rinjani for example, which I have just re-vamped. As I said, the main Lombok article and Senggigi are both greatly improved by your efforts and please do not be discouraged. --(WT-en) Burmesedays 22:48, 9 October 2009 (EDT)

Thanks for those comments they are appreciated and understood as are the considerable efforts especially that -Burmesedays- has taken to assist with the process and to clarify working guidleines. If you have the time you might want to look over the further comments I recently placed on the 'senggigi page' discussion. (WT-en) felix 17:29, 10 October 2009 (EDT)

It is, in fact, pretty amazing how well WikiWiki works for travel information. I'm glad you're satisfied with the way Cologne is shaping up. I like the way it looks, too. By the way, doesn't Cologne have a particularly different German dialect -- "Kuln", or something like that? It might be good to add a "Talk" section, with perhaps a micro-phrasebook.

 * One thing you may want to watch is using first person pronouns -- "I", "me", "my".

 * Anyways, glad to have you on board -- looking forward to see what else you have in your bag of tricks. --(WT-en) Evan 08:38, 28 Feb 2004 (EST)

 * Took up you proposal for Cologne slang! By the way, called "Kölsch"!

''I haven't been able to find anything about the origin of Kölsch; as far as I know, it's not really a german dialect, but instead an "alemannische Mundart", more closely tied to Elsässer Dütsch and Schwyzer Dütsch than the to the dialects of the surrounding regions. Haven't been able to find anything definitive on that, though. - (WT-en) FelixKatz 09:12, 1 Mar 2004 (EST)''

 * Interesting... I'm not really surprised to find that Swiss German and Dutch are related. I have this theory that the whole Rhine river basin presents a linguistic area seperate from unified German or French...

 * Anyhow, just to let you know I think there are some strong aspects about your arguments for recognizing that gay travelers have some special needs, so in light of your arguements and my own I'm going to put my money where my mouth is and go through in the next couple of days and add comments rating my perception of the gay-friendlyness of places I've added in the past. Of course please correct any mistakes you discover (sorry in advance), I only have my own perceptions (straight (and expecting! :) )) to go by... still I hope what I write is usefull to all travelers.

 * Meanwhile, keep up the good work! Hope to see you here for a long time. -- (WT-en) Mark 18:43, 1 Mar 2004 (EST)

My name is Feng Yue. I was originally from Beijing,P.R.China. After lived in Beijing for 26 years and got my Master of Architecture degree from Tsinghua University,I moved to Hong Kong and worked in a British design firm for one and a half years. Before then, I have already traveled through most provinces of China including Tibet, and some other countries including France,Italy,Australia and Singapore. The continents where I stepped on added to four when I worked in Antarctica as a member of Chinese Antarctica Research Expidition from November 2003 to March 2004 in Zhongshan Station. Since June 2007, I came to my fifth continent,North America,studying architecure and urban design in Harvard University in Cambridge.I am looking forward to visiting South America and Afica soon before I turn into thirty.

Except for touch all seven continents, My traveling interest focus on world cities in different developement levels and urban culture. The reason I join Wikitravle is not only to share my travling experience and knowledge with more people, but to contribute a Chinese version of Wikivoyage.

Thanks for your contributions, but I'm not sure I understand some of your edits to Blue Lagoon. Taking a taxi is much more expensive than riding a bus, so removing that line doesn't make a lot of sense. Please discuss why this line is unnecessary on Talk:Blue Lagoon if you remove it again. -- (WT-en) Ryan • (talk) • 12:35, 2 March 2010 (EST)

 * Hi Ryan, the reason that i edit this post is because i think people should get to know all the modes of transport to the Blue Lagoon. I am quite sure that people can make an informed decision about which mode of transport to use if they have access to all the relevant facts, which they dont have if they cant click any links in Taxi section only the buses. I cant see how you can decide to block travellers access to information about Taxis in Iceland. It is very biased of you and one might think that you might have something against taxi drivers. —The preceding comment was added by (WT-en) Ferenzcy (talk • contribs)

 * Yes, I hate all taxis and spend my days campaigning against them. It is a cause to which I have devoted a significant portion of my adult life, but now that the movement is gaining ground it has clearly all been worthwhile.  One can hope that someday we might achieve our ultimate goal of a world free of convenient transportation for those without access to their own vehicle.

 * Sarcasm aside, I objected to an edit that removed useful information ("taxis are very expensive") and replaced it with two links to travel companies without providing any information about why the "expensive" comment was removed, and without explaining why a traveler would choose the "taxi" option. Please read Project:Goals and non-goals, specifically "blatant advertising is not welcome, and overcompetitive acts... is gravely deprecated".  You're welcome to put information into the Blue Lagoon article about taxis, but do not do it solely for advertising purposes, and make sure any content is clear about the pros and cons of taking a taxi to a destination that is served by a large number of much-cheaper alternatives. Also see Wikivoyage's policy on tour companies, which makes it clear that tour companies that do not offer a value-added service (something that a traveler could not otherwise fulfill on his/her own) should generally not be included in articles. -- (WT-en) Ryan • (talk) • 14:42, 2 March 2010 (EST)

User talk:(WT-en) FiksskiF

Welcome, and an explanation of some deletions
Hi, FiksskiF.

I have reverted all your edits because, since you have posted the same thing in three places, it looks like spam. On this site, no business can be listed more than once, site-wide. I understand your business is a chain, and indeed it sounds like a good concept, but you include the following phrase:

"Nothing short of a match made in heaven for any traveler."

This constitutes touting, and you need to read this link: don't tout.

Touting is not OK under any circumstances here, but if you'd like to discuss whether merely descriptive listings could be put in three (or more?) different district articles, you could try to start a discussion at Talk:Copenhagen or Project:Travellers' Pub.

Another problem is that in Copenhagen/Nørrebro, you deleted a listing without explaining why in your editing summary. That's also not OK. Of course, if the store is closed, you should delete the listing, but write "closed" in your editing summary.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask here or at the other links I gave you two paragraphs up.

Thank you for contributing to Poland. Does your change mean that Polish tap water is contaminated by pollutants that are not neutralised by boiling, such as nitrates and other industrial or agricultural chemicals, or is this just a warning about the taste, not the hygene standard?

 * Hi Evan,
 * Thanks for your welcome. I don't think that it's needed to make a welcomepage, special for wikibookians. Most of them came on wikibooks by way of wikipedia.
 * But, I didn't read the Project:Welcome, Wikipedians page. Maybe the information there isn't enough for 'pure' wikibookians. If that's so, maybe an update is enough, but if it's necessary to make a seperated page for wikibookians, I'll see if I can make a start for a page like that.

Hello! Welcome to Wikivoyage. If you want to specialize your experience you may want to consider editing your preferences. 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 the whole wiki community look at the Wiki markup to get an idea of how to use the wiki markup. 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.-- (WT-en) Andrew Haggard (Sapphire) 17:30, 30 August 2006 (EDT)

Nice work there on Poughkeepsie, Thanks a bunch! While I know it's a work in progress, we always enjoy section introductions here on Wikivoyage, so the guides doesn't just read as one big list, they are also usually also the most enjoyable parts to write as they are not quite so monotonous, and can sparkle you creativity a bit more if you enjoy writing, there is one example here; here.

I hope by now you've found out that you can add listings by click the "add listing" link on the right side of section headers in most sections - that way you needn't mess around with the wiki markup. but can just type in the information in the form, and it will auto-magically be converted into code. --(WT-en) Stefan (sertmann) Talk 22:15, 16 October 2009 (EDT)

Hello! Welcome to Wikivoyage.

It is always nice to see another user from Australia. Thanks for you contributions to Far North Queensland.

You may care to look at our tips for new contributors and our policies and guidelines which include our manual of style and information on copyleft.

If you are adding listings, it is probably best to add them to smallest city, town or region appropriate at first. We do need to bring the best stuff up a level, but the detail should be down at the city level article.

Nice job
I wanted to thank you for the great work you're doing catching spelling/wording errors. I just wanted to point out that below the summary box there is a little box that you can check off to mark the changes you make as minor. Minor changes would be spelling, formatting, fixing verb tense, or pretty much anything that doesn't add or take away information. That way, those that are watching the Special:Recentchanges page can patrol your edits easier. Keep up the great work! -- (WT-en) Fastestdogever 12:11, 6 May 2007 (EDT)

 * No big deal, just figured it would save you some time & effort. Do you use Firefox & its built-in spell checker? -- (WT-en) Fastestdogever 12:20, 6 May 2007 (EDT)

 * If you do use Firefox, you might be interested to know that there are other dictionaries that you can download. Here's the link to those.  There's also an add-on (here) so you don't have to go in and change which dictionary you are using every time you switch from an Australian page to a US page - there's just a spot on the bottom of your browser to toggle back & forth.  While there's no consensus of which spelling to use, overall I just try to use whatever is spoken in that area, or I go for consistency if it's somewhere like Turkey.  Have a great day! -- (WT-en) Fastestdogever 12:41, 6 May 2007 (EDT)

Thank you for all the lovely photos today. Just as a tip, Wikivoyage prefers that you upload images to Wikivoyage Shared rather than the English language Wikivoyage version so that other language versions have easy access to your images. Have you been to Baku recently? Please feel free to let me know if you need any help with anything. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 23:34, 11 July 2007 (EDT)

Pictures!
Kudos on the pictures! They are great! (WT-en) Cupcakecommander 23:54, 11 July 2007 (EDT)

Florida status
I notice that you left a query on (WT-en) Cacahuate's talk page. I believe the "tag" you are refering to is the outline tag. The Project:Article status page will help you understand status tags better. If an article has moved beyond the outline status, it should be tagged with the status. (The next status is Guide and if the article is almost perfect, it gets called a Star). To figure out if Florida deserves to move to the next level, you need to check out Project:Region guide status (because a state is a "region" by Wikivoyage's definition.) Hope this helps. Let me know if you need anything else! — (WT-en) Ravikiran 00:53, 19 July 2007 (EDT)

Wikivoyage Shared
Hey, could you make sure that all of your pictures are in Wikivoyage shared? I'm having trouble with Baku's Japanese section and some of the pictures. Thanks! (WT-en) Cupcakecommander 02:12, 23 July 2007 (EDT)

Busch Gardens
Hi, thanks for starting the article about Busch Gardens, but unfortunately Wikivoyage does not have independent articles for individual attractions such as for amusement parks (except if they are absolutely huge and have accommodation), so I'm afraid I've had to delete and redirect to the Tampa article. For your reference, please take a look at this article: Project:What is an article?. Sorry about that, but keep contributing, and if you have any questions please ask me or any of the regular contributors. (WT-en) WindHorse 12:39, 30 July 2007 (EDT)

....Thanks for the advice. I fully understand and no problem with your deleting it. I will read further. This has been my first attempt at actually adding to the article and it will take a little hit and miss until I get it correct. Please keep helping.

(WT-en) Flowergirl 20:18, 30 July 2007 (EDT)

Images voted for deletion
Don't worry, (WT-shared) Tatata is a very sharp administrator, and he just happened to catch a few things you overlooked. The list of images currently being reviewed for deletions is here, I think only 3 of your images have been voted for deletion. This image is especially tricky because it is basically free content, and if we notify the photographer, we could use it on this site, but because businesses could then not print it out and distribute it, it does not comply with our copyleft. The best way to avoid a problem like this is to limit your Flickr "| advanced search" to (1) only Creative Commons content (2) that you can use commercially and (3) can be modified and adapted—if you click all three of these boxes, only images we can use here should come up (unless someone on Flickr made a mistake!).

The other ones up for deletion are duplicates of images already uploaded to shared. In the future, you can check to see what photos have already been uploaded by looking at the categories (like wts:Category:Miami). You can browse the categories on Wikivoyage Shared by clicking on one of the continent links on the main page of shared. I hope this helps and don't let yourself get frustrated! --(WT-en) Peter Talk 21:35, 31 July 2007 (EDT)

 * No need to reupload any duplicates—they were duplicates of original images (I think both were uploaded by User:(WT-en) Fastestdogever and are still available at wts:Category:Miami. By the way, I really liked the photos you uploaded of the modernizing Miami skyline and cuban food ;)

 * You can request a username change at wts:Requests for username change. I'm actually not sure if you will retain credit for the work you have done as Flowergirl, though, but you could ask that question as part of your request. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 21:25, 1 August 2007 (EDT)

Email and finding your contributions
Hello again! To correspond with someone by email, try going to their user page and look on the left toolbar. If they have enabled this option, you can send them an email directly (although you also have to have enabled this email option in your own preferences).

The best way to find a discussion you contributed is to look in your contributions. There is a link to your contributions at the top right of your screen. I think the discussion you were referring to is Project:Listings. Don't worry, no discussion is for admins only, all users are fully equal in all discussions, and you definitely were not being ignored—as a matter of fact I believe it was your who initially started that discussion. Unfortunately, though, it looked like we would be unable to reach a consensus, so we just sort of gave up and turned our attention to other tasks more easily accomplished! --(WT-en) Peter Talk 22:20, 3 August 2007 (EDT)

Boca Raton
I just noticed your question on Peter's talk page about the huge long restaurant list in this article, and will take the liberty of answering even though you didn't ask me. Yeah, IMO, that list is excessive; see Project:Don't tout, which focuses in on precisely the issues you've identified. But you don't need to ask permission to fix it! Just plunge forward and do what you think needs to be done. I'd start by removing the obvious puffery, and leaving as much about menu, etc., as fits into 4 lines or less per restaurant -- that's about the goal and avoids the "Too Much Information" (TMI) pitfall. OK? Go for it, and thanks for your interest in improving this article! -- (WT-en) Bill-on-the-Hill 14:00, 4 August 2007 (EDT)

 * OK, we're on the same wavelength here. (BTW, it's better to send "talk" replies to the "discussion" page, rather than the "user" page, i.e., to User talk:(WT-en) Bill-on-the-Hill rather than User:(WT-en) Bill-on-the-Hill.)  I'd recommend leaving the number of restaurants as is (unless there are some there that you know are stinkers), and maybe group them by cuisine within a price range if the list is getting too long; check out e.g. Albuquerque for an example of how to do that.  Then just de-tout what's there, and the resulting article will look right.  Go do good stuff! :-)  -- (WT-en) Bill-on-the-Hill 15:27, 4 August 2007 (EDT)

If you need help, check out Project:Help, or post a message in the travellers' pub.

Hi, I reverted your edit to Limerick for several reasons, and wanted to let you know why for future reference. First, we cannot use text from other websites, as that violates both the author's copyright and our own copyleft. Second, we avoid flowery, promotional language—if readers see that in a travel guide, they won't take it seriously. Lastly, unless your site is the official tourism site for the city of Limerick (and I don't think it is), it cannot be linked from the Wikivoyage article, per Project:External links. Anyway, I hope this isn't overwhelming or discouraging, and that you stay interested in improving the Limerick article. My great great grandfather had a farm just outside the town, and I'm sure I'll be back again, with my Wikivoyage guide in hand. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 23:01, 18 December 2008 (EST)

I really like the images on this site. Please could you tell me how I could view them as a complete library and what the deal is on using them for commercial purposes.

Sorry I edited this message but I couldn't see how to post a new one!

Thanks, Lucia

Thanks for templates
I live in Pretoria and have rescently toured much of South Africa. I try to include only the places that I have actually visited. Just tell me if you need a 'field agent' to revisit some places...

A friend has also toured Malawi, Tanzania and Zambia rescently, so I'll add some of her photos and knowledge. Perhaps we should make a guide Touring Africa by 4x4 ? (WT-en) Nic 12:14, 10 May 2005 (EDT)

As expected Cape Town is DOTM for September. Not knowing the city at all I made a best effort to write a blurb for the main page, but since you obviously know the city better I'd be grateful if you could update my text, as well as the photo if another one is more appropriate. If the photo changes please also update the Previous Destinations of the month page. Thanks! -- (WT-en) Wrh2 01:27, 1 Sep 2005 (EDT)

SA Tourism Photo Library
Hi Felix - nice work, I just stumbled on WikiTravel and was proud to see Cape Town featured as Destination of the month. I added a better picture! My first WikiTravel contribution and I fear I might have stepped on some toes in the process, let me know. I updated the Previous Destinations page with the new pic.

Anyway - purpose of this message is, that you can find some great photos of South Africa at this URL: http://www.southafrica.net/image/

"Welcome to our image library, which presently consists of over 3,000 digital photos at 300 dpi, allowing print sizes of around A5 or 8x10 inches. The images may be used free of charge, provided, that they are utilized exclusively for the touristic promotion of South Africa, on free and non-commercial material and must carry the following mandatory credit below each image: "Copyright: South African Tourism". Please note that they may not be used in any form of commercial advertisement, print or in electronic media."

You just need to register and they you have access to their full library of some amazing photography. Well worth investigating!

Simon's Town
Hi. First off, thanks for the effort you have put in towards Wikivoyage! I was happy to see that even Simon's Town was here! However, as a resident of Simon's Town, I can tell you that "Simon's Town" is the correct spelling for our little sea-side village, rather than "Simonstown"! I see that the page Simon's Town redirects to Simonstown, but shouldn't that be reversed? I corrected some of the references to "Simonstown", but I didn't want to go too far before discussing it with you first. Keep up the good work!!! 196.11.245.33 22:49, 7 July 2006 (EDT)
 * Hey there. Don't know why I made this obvious mistake... Anyway, have corrected it and searched through all relevante articles to change Simonstown into Simons's Town, but I am not 110% sre if I got all of them... Thanks for the advice. Felix, 08 July 2006, 12:18 (UTC)

Thanks for contributing to Karori. However, I am not sure the suburb warrants a separate destination article. I suggest you also read our article naming conventions to see how districts of a city are named. - (WT-en) Huttite 03:09, 27 February 2009 (EST)

External links to maps
Hi

I just deleted the following external links from Decatur (Georgia):

 * City of Decatur Georgia Street Map - PDF file
 * Decatur Map - Yahoo travel

You've put them back in again.

I think you might get away with the decaturga.com one for a while if it's in the "Understand" or "Get around" section, and you point out that it's "official"; but not the yahoo.com one as it's a secondary source. ~ 203.144.143.6 12:21, 26 September 2006 (EDT)

Hi!

You've created an article for Hans Christian Andersen. Do you plan to make it a travel topic article? Because in most cases articles that aren't about destinations proper are highly likely to get deleted. ϒpsilon (talk) 18:51, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

Ref tags
Hi. We don't use ref tags on this site. Please have a look at WV:External links and WV:Welcome, Wikipedians. Thanks a lot for your contributions.

All the best,

Thassos constitutes a green exotic island in Northern Aegean sea. It is located about 7 to 8 miles opposite Kavala City in Eastern Macedonia and very close to gulf of Keramoti, the port that assumes the most ferries transfer from Greece mainland to the island of Thassos in its port named 'Limenas'.

The fact that it is the nearest island in north Greece makes it an attractive summer destination for visitors from Balcans concerning their vacations in Greece. It combines the interest on archaeological spaces,the relaxation in beautiful and unique. The view of the visitor entering the Island from the upcoming ferries is the amazing blue of the beaches, the deep and dense green from the forests with plane, firs, oaks and pines that often lead up to the end of the sea. This is also the reason why in some reports and comments from visitors named the island as the “green diamond of Aegean” and with many other names that perhaps are heard excessive in those who have not visited the island of Thassos.

Beyond its natural beauties, Thassos has to offer much more for the tourists. Some elements of Greek culture and Greek tradition are the walls of fortress of ancient city, the temple of Apollo, the Ancient Theatre, the Citadel and the chapel of Dionysos with his choral monuments constitute some of the monuments which have been maintained by the past until today.

Today, Thassos numbers approximately 13.500 residents and the main profit of the Island comes from Tourism. All the island changed and became a summer resort with luxury hotels, rooms to let, studios, apartments, camping and other accommodations. During the summer time all the island is literally occupied by Greek and foreign visitors. There are a lot of beach villages around Thassos, offering excelent accommodation services and options for food and fun. Skala Potamia and Potos Villages are two of the most cosmopolitan Villages of Thassos Island and you can meet there many activities ideal for children and adults.

There are a lot of travel guides that visitors may use for search and find hotels and other accommodations. In and  the visitor may explore them via panoramic 360 views and this is really a reliable way to select the accommodation for his or her vacations in Thassos. In some presentations you may find also panoramic views from really ineteresting beaches like 'saliara beach' between Limenas port and Skala Panagia Village, Skala Potamia Beach etc.

Finally, Thassos Island is one of the most beautiful and attractive island in Greece for all the visitors and you have to visit it in order to explore and agree with that.
