Having a list of major airlines and links to their web sites might be useful, but I'm not sure how practical it is to try to list all the cities they fly to. It looks like you're still working on the "A"s and it's already a pretty big set of lists. Plus, regular flights get canceled and added quite often, so it'll be almost impossible to keep this up to date. Maybe you should hold off on doing much more work on this until we can have a discussion about the best way to approach it. Please respond on Talk:airlines. - (WT-en) Todd VerBeek 11:32, 16 July 2006 (EDT)

Please stop adding to the Airlines list until we've decided what to do with it. To be honest, I don't think we're going to keep all of that information, so I don't want you to waste a lot of time adding it if that's what happens. - (WT-en) Todd VerBeek 13:27, 16 July 2006 (EDT)

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 Project:Help, and if you need some info not on there, post a message in the travellers' pub. - (WT-en) Andrew Haggard (Sapphire) 08:41, 27 June 2006 (EDT)

P.S. Please don't include the aircraft information when providing information about how to get into a destination, as it's not really important to travellers. Thanks. - (WT-en) Andrew Haggard (Sapphire) 08:41, 27 June 2006 (EDT)

Hey, really high quality work on Kazan—I can only hope to see more! It's a place pretty high on my travel wishlist, whenever I make it back to Russia.

By the way, have you considered creating an account at Wikivoyage? It gives a bunch of benefits:
 * Easier communication — you will receive others' comments on your personal talk page, even if your future visits are from another IP.
 * Credit for your contributions — at the bottom of any article you edit.
 * Build a reputation — allow other Wikivoyagers to distinguish you from other anonymous users, and provide you with a greater level of trust.
 * Watchlist — a list of pages for which you want to keep track of future changes.
 * Become a Project:Docent — if you know a destination well and would like to share your knowledge.
 * Preferences menu — customize your Wikivoyage experience.

 * Excellent work on East Timor and many thanks for that. Please do consider opening a Wiktiravel account and hanging around here. --(WT-en) Burmesedays 04:45, 24 April 2010 (EDT)

 * Why did you change back all the work I did, particularly on the Major Events? Please read some of the advice in the links I gave above. We do not have a major events section, it should not be there. That is why I moved all of the entries to the Do section. Also, the formatting was a bit all over the place and the descriptions too long. Including the text of speeches by politicans comes across like an extract from the tourist board. Unfortunately, if I just reverted back to my corrected version, all of the other edits you added would also be lost, so this time I will do the work all over again. In future though you should be aware that editors might not be so generous. If you could have a good read of the links about style etc which I gave above, that would be very helpful.--(WT-en) Burmesedays 10:54, 24 April 2010 (EDT)

Some reading for you
Please read dt. This is not a place to promote a business. The traveller comes first here, not someone who wants to sell some service to travellers. And it's worse if you try to promote yourself in several places. Nothing personal, but since reverting your edits - and now posting to your user talk page - increases the workload of volunteer editors, please keep in mind that if you continue to repost your ads, it may become necessary to block your account.

Remember, there are plenty of places to promote yourself online. Here is simply not the place.

Spamming
You are spamming your touring company to multiple articles. Even if posting a single link to one article doesn't constitute touting (see Project:Don't tout) or violate Wikivoyage's tour listing policy (see Project:Activity listings), as I believe it would, posting links to numerous articles definitely meets even a loose definition of touting. This is not a marketing site, but a site that's supposed to give disinterested information to travelers. As a result, all your posts have been deleted. And this will continue to happen as long as you continue to spam, tout, and violate Wikivoyage policies.

Accommodation listings
Hi. It is possible to list villas in Wikivoyage guides, provided they can be rented by the week or less, but you need to look at Project:Accommodation listings to understand what should and should not be included in listings here. If you want to sell the location, do so in "See," "Do," or other relevant sections, not in your villa listing. Sure, you can say there's a great view from the villa, but don't say it's in a magnificent village, because that information belongs at the "Understand" or even top section of the village guide, as a selling point for the entire village. In addition, you cannot sell your villas, per don't tout, but can just describe them. And finally, but importantly, you must list rates and make clear what time period they are for.

If you have more questions, please ask here or in Project:Travellers' Pub. We would like to help you provide information that benefits travelers.

Since your contributions thus far have all been hotel listings you may want to have a look at Wikivoyage's guidelines for hotel marketers. Assuming you are working for a hotel chain, be sure to format your listings properly and include a description that describes the hotel, not the surrounding area. "50 rooms furnished with coffee makers and flat-screen TVs, an indoor pool, and an extensive fitness center" gives the traveler some indication of what the hotel is like, but "near the airport" does not. -- (WT-en) Ryan • (talk) • 14:08, 2 June 2011 (EDT)

How to list on Wikivoyage
Hi. You are clearly enthusiastic about your chain of restaurants, but:

(1) You need to read and heed Project:Don't tout. You are writing advertisements, not merely descriptive listings.

(2) Each location can be listed in only one section of only one guide.

(3) Never use first-person language in listings.

For now, all your edits are being reverted (=deleted).

What is an article, etc.
First, this is English Wikivoyage; all articles have to be in English.

Secondly, read Project:What is an article? and don't tout.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask here or in Project:Travellers' Pub, where there may be more Spanish speakers.

Don't spam or advertise
Hi. Volunteer editors are what makes this site work, so your enthusiasm to contribute is appreciated. However, your edits so far have been in violation of this site's firm policy against allowing spam and advertisements, and of omitting listings or links to travel agencies except in very limited circumstances. Please read wbo, dt, and tour.

Please cooperate because spamming links to a business throughout one or more articles makes for time-consuming reversions of your edits, and may necessitate blocking your account if you are persistent about it.

All the best,

Warning
I'd like to welcome you to Wikivoyage, but your first 3 posts have all been in gross violation of the prohibition against using this site for marketing. Please read this before making any more edits:

Project:Don't tout

Also, consider this:

Project:The traveller comes first

That's right: The traveller, not the marketer, comes first here. If we allowed this site to be taken over by marketers, it would become completely useless to travellers trying to access accurate information.

I must warn you that repeated attempts to use this site for marketing can result in much more severe consequences than deletion of your edits, including your account being blocked and your site and properties being blacklisted here.

I hope that, instead of continuing to try to market here, you share some of your knowledge about the communities in which you do business. If you do want to make some helpful contributions, have a look at this:

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.

Some of your edits seem to be a reverse of what is in the articles. I think it would be best to discuss this on the talk page of the article before making the changes. If you are correct, then your edits should stay for sure. But we want to be fair and not give a slant. I also added back my comments on the Talk:Nicaragua page. Those should remain.

Please be civil. Additionally, we are not saying Northern Europe is synonymous with Scandinavia. We are saying we don't want to bother writing four different articles -- each slightly different -- which encompass Norway. Instead of deleting Scandinavia altogether, we have left a redirect which basically suggests that people who want info about Scandinavia should see the Northern Europe article instead since it's the closest to what they are looking for even though it is not exactly what they are looking for. -- (WT-en) Colin 15:07, 28 July 2006 (EDT)

Hello and welcome to Wikivoyage. Please take a look at Welcome, business owners and Project:Don't tout.

Wikivoyage is not meant to be a yellow pages, nor an advertising brochure, so please do not add listings for your business that have flowery, promotional language or that lack any useful information, in particular price ranges for rooms. Also do not list your listing more than once, and do not list it in a city other than the one it actually is in. Lastly, please do not include the city, state, and zip code in the address field. While yes, this is good for your search engine optimization, this is straightforwardly inappropriate on Wikivoyage, since the article name should indicate what city it is in.

Edits that do not follow these guidelines will be reverted. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 15:48, 8 June 2009 (EDT)

 * Don't tout, avoid all personal pronouns except you, and check what other words you should avoid. --(WT-en) Stefan (sertmann) talk 12:58, 28 December 2009 (EST)

Mr. 193.231.238.215, it would be appreciated if you could explain why you insist on your version of United States of America. I am not in a position to judge whether your changes are justified or not, but it seems to me (correct me if I'm wrong) that you prefer a bowdlerized or politically correct version. Articles in Wikivoyage do not need either -- what they need is to reflect reality in the best possible way. (WT-en) Dhum Dhum Akubra 18:01, 26 Mar 2004 (EST)

 * Please use the Talk:United States of America page to discuss this issue. --(WT-en) Evan 19:01, 26 Mar 2004 (EST)

193.231.238.215, several people invited you kindly to discuss and explain your views of United States of America. Until now, you haven't done that. Instead you insist on your version without any explanation. This is not how Wikivoyage works and it is not going to get you anywhere. If you have reasons why you think the article should be changed, I advise you to use the talk page to communicate. (WT-en) Dhum Dhum Akubra 07:42, 27 Mar 2004 (EST)

Is it really illegal to abandon a car on a street in the United States of America? Surely not. It may be illegal to take one if you do not own it, but to leave one that you do own... I think not. It may be an offence to park beyond the time limit, and city authorities and landowners may sieze vehicles that have overstayed their welcome, and sell the vehicle to recover costs. But what ordinance makes simply leaving the vehicle illegal, meaning you can be imprisoned for doing so. If this were the case then the Police could arrest every driver who was issued a parking ticket! I don't think Homeland Security has got that strict.....yet. - (WT-en) Huttite 02:30, 28 Mar 2004 (EST)

Hi! You seem to very strongly emphasis the language differences in the German speaking countries instead of saying that in general everybody is capable of speaking German and additionally speak their regional dialect. Wikivoyage is not Wikipedia and we have a policy called Project:No_advice_from_Captain_Obvious that states we don't list obvious facts. Most languages have dialects/accents etc. but in general there is a codified standard that is being thaught at official institutions that is complusory for everyone. Don't start an edit war btw. Wikivoyage is based on consensus and not hardcore single actions. So discuss first in the Travellers' Pub and consider creating a login because otherwise you are close to a block. (WT-en) jan 09:49, 3 May 2010 (EDT)
 * Hi! You seem not want to follow our policies and behave extreme rude! Comments like F*ck and SHOUTING is seen as an absolute nogo in this community. I will block for some hours to calm off. Again, we are ruled on consensus and no arrogant behaviour. (WT-en) jan 07:32, 7 May 2010 (EDT)

 * Hello to you both. First, I agree with Jan's point about an article not gaining any benefit from lots of obvious stuff. The article is meant to help the traveller - that means keeping it concise and to the point, full of travel details about a place, so I think we shouldn't be going into detail about dialects or languages spoken. Second, yeah Jan's right that we should not get hot under the collar with our responses, HOWEVER I fear that the tone of her rebukes is not great either. Let's remember that the work and contributions of both of you are valued and appreciated, some of us out here very much appreciate you taking the time to make constructive edits to articles, and I'd encourage you both to put the language spat aside and spend your time constructively adding your knowledge to articles - just in ways that aid the traveller.
 * If you are a relatively new user, the goals and approach on here can be quite different to sites like Wikipedia. Maybe we can start over and lend advice, instead of reverting, or taking a revert as a personal attack. (WT-en) Andyfarrell 14:41, 7 May 2010 (EDT)

Hello. You have been nominated for a one month user ban. You are free to discuss this, and invited to reach consensus on article changes with the people who are trying to work with you here.

Welcome to Wikivoyage! Thanks for your recent addion of Kallisti Thera Hotel and Santorini Palace Hotel to Santorini.

Unfortunately, I see few problems with it:
 * 1) They look very much like an advertisement. Wikivoyage strives to avoid being an "advertising brochure" for any business, city, or service--so please edit your text to describe the establishment rather than trying to sell it to a reader. I would recommend to read Project:Don't tout article before your future additions--and we would happy to see you back editing here but also respecting our guidelines ;-)
 * 2) Descriptions are obviously copy-paste from hot360.com. Are you the sole owner of hot360 or do you have permission from them to use their texts? If not, we should remove both texts and write our own.
 * 3) We do not welcome links to accommodation agencies or other third-party sites for hotels--only official sites can be used in the listings.
 * 4) Both hotels are in Thira (as far as I can see), this is why I moved their description from Santorini article to Thira.

BTW, I would recommend you registering a login name at Wikivoyage ;-)

Hi!

Welcome to Wikivoyage.

Just in case you were wondering I've been moving the links to your travel agency to the talk page for each of the articles, since our guidelines ask that you contribute actual material (hotel reviews, etc.) rather than just a link.

If you were to contribute some actual info I imagine there should be some way to also put in a nod for your travel agency, although there has been some controversy surrounding external links of any kind.

First of all, welcome to Wikivoyage. We have a introductory page for business owners--please take a minute to read it before going on with your edits.

What's most important when adding your properties to the listings are: be fair and don't tout. And, as long as Paris and Barcelona are huge cities, we always list its places to sleep in a specific district article, not in the main city article.

I had to revert it in the main article of Barcelona, but please feel free to add individual hotel listings to its districts: Ciutat Vella, Gracia, Barceloneta and Eixample. --(WT-en) DenisYurkin 16:50, 19 October 2007 (EDT)

Hello Anonymous User!

Welcome to Wikivoyage. Please take a sec 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 need help, check out Project:Help, and if you need some info not on there, post a message in the travellers' pub.

Please read the Project:External links policy. Links to http://www.hotelmesh.com/ are secondary links and will be reverted as they do not follow the policy. You are welcome to add the content to the appropriate article pages though. -- (WT-en) Huttite 06:43, 8 Jan 2006 (EST)

I think England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland are "missing" from List of countries because they are considered nations (which together comprise the United Kingdom), and not individual countries.

Why are my changes being removed? I have very valuable experience to share with future travelers? Karl

 * I'm not sure anyone reading this knows what changes you're referring to. Could you please be more specific? I'll make one comment, though: I appreciate the edits you made in the Dakar guide, but I did delete one listing and specified in my editing Summary that it was because we don't post bad reviews here (better not to list lousy hotels). So one thing you might want to do is look in the "history" of the articles where you made edits and see whether whoever reverted your edits posted a "Summary" specifying why.

 * The other thing I'd say is, don't be discouraged: Everyone's work gets edited here. And please keep contributing!

 * All the best,

 * (WT-en) Ikan Kekek 05:30, 28 November 2011 (EST)

Thanks Ikan

Yeah, I just felt I had to warn people about that hotel as it was really dodgy, and the so called "Porters" at the airport insist on taking you there... then you can't even shower and toilet takes more than an hour to refil after flushing... very dodgey...

 * So maybe it's an exception to the usual policy of not posting bad reviews. Could you please post your argument to Talk:Dakar so it can be discussed? Also, it's customary to sign posts in "Talk" pages by typing 4 tildes (the "~" key) in a row before pressing "Enter." (WT-en) Ikan Kekek 05:46, 28 November 2011 (EST)

Tour operator listings
Hi. Generally, tour operators cannot be listed on Wikivoyage. There are some very specific exceptions, but when you spam (in Wikivoyage parlance) listings to numerous articles, volunteer editors tend to delete all of them. Read tour for specific site policies relating to tour agency listings, and also read don't tout.

My suggestion to you is, if your agency is really required for travelers to do specific things, or it would be exceedingly hard for them to do those things on their own, list your agency - and other ones you know about - for that specific thing. But don't post general listings for tours, because this site is aimed at individual travelers.

Feel free to ask questions here or in Project:Travellers' Pub, or discuss issues relevant to particular articles in their own talk (discussion) pages.

Best,

By the way, have you considered creating an account at Wikivoyage? It gives a bunch of benefits:
 * Easier communication — you will receive others' comments on your personal talk page, even if your future visits are from another IP.
 * Credit for your contributions — at the bottom of any article you edit.
 * Build a reputation — allow other Wikivoyagers to distinguish you from other anonymous users, and provide you with a greater level of trust.
 * Watchlist — a list of pages for which you want to keep track of future changes.
 * Become a Project:Docent — if you know a destination well and would like to share your knowledge.
 * Preferences menu — customize your Wikivoyage experience.

Thank you for contributing entries for your hotel chain. Please be aware that we have a format we prefer you follow. Additional, while we welcome links to your hotel's website, please do not label it with anything; especially do not label it with search-engine friendly terms as that kind of behavior reflects poorly on you. An external link for the hotel should look something like this:. -- (WT-en) Colin 17:02, 2 October 2006 (EDT)

Also, please be aware that listings are to be made in the city the hotel resides, not a nearby popular city that you wish it could be listed under. So for example, a listing for a hotel in Treasure Island, Florida should not be placed in the Saint Petersburg (Florida) article. Go ahead and create a new article for Treasure Island since one does not already exist. You'll be prompted to insert a "template", and then you can just to some minimal typing and be on your way. -- (WT-en) Colin 17:06, 2 October 2006 (EDT)

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

By the way, have you considered creating an account here? While you can absolutely keep contributing as an anonymous user, it promises a bunch of benefits, and no obligations. Individual hotels don't normally get their own pages, rather, they are listed under the relevant city page. In the case of the Hyatt Place Portland Airport you created a page for, that could be listed under Portland (Oregon)- but please read Welcome, business owners, first. Since Wikivoyage is primarily by and for travellers, don't use "our" to refer to your hotel, as this is considered touting. Thanks,   JakeOregon (talk) 21:03, 21 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Actually, an individual hotel would never get its own page, and you need to read welcome, business owners and don't tout. It looks like you have a previous history from 11 years ago of touting, so if you do it again, your posting privileges are likely to be briefly blocked. Thanks. Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:35, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Please understand it would be better if you create a user account and declare your interest in any business. This does not mean exclusion from contributing. If you are open and considerate then you are more lightly to be accepted and not have your edits undone. Other representatives of hotel companies have been allowed to add a number of hotels to multiple pages once we agreed on the tone and content. --Traveler100 (talk) 20:34, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Representatives of Hotels or their agents are not excluded from contributing from this site but if they continue to not identified themselves and continue to tout listings they may be block from the site. Please be open and reasonable, then we will be too. --Traveler100 (talk) 22:33, 5 March 2018 (UTC)

second opinion request on block or not
Should we block this user or not? User talk:199.72.72.165 could be working for Hyatt or could just be a traveller that uses this brand of hotel (I know I often enter the chains I use on pages). Has in the past added other hotel chains. Just the text is often a little touty or copy of website. Either way considering forcing the issue of them creating a user account declaring if any business interest or not. —The preceding comment was added by Traveler100 (talk • contribs)

 * This user was already warned, so if they have touted again in any way, they should have been blocked for 24 hours. Continually warning with no block isn't going to produce any good results, especially in cases in which the user in question has never replied to any message to their user talk page. Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:37, 14 March 2018 (UTC)

 * 2nd block - 3 days. Would you like to try for 2 weeks? Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:00, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
 * To the contributor. I actually have little issue with the content you are adding but as it is just for one company you should declare your interest. As you have not replied, blocking again. --Traveler100 (talk) 07:11, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

Hello - Sorry for not responding sooner. We manage the SEO strategies for various hotels. We're happy to alter the content that we post for the Hyatt and other hotels to stay within the site's guidelines/rules.
