Ikan

See my post below yours.

Can you please repost my entry as I can not see the text anywhere, this is driving me mad with anger, how can something that should be easy, be so complicated! Thanks, Croydon

Croydon:

You can't list anything in more than one place. Read Project:Don't tout. Please understand that this site does not exist for the convenience of businesspeople or marketers, but for the benefit of travelers. We can't have businesses marketed all over the place. Your cooperation would be appreciated.

All the best,

(WT-en) Ikan Kekek 13:34, 12 June 2011 (EDT)

Ikan

This is the most complicated, userunfriendly site I have ever encountered. It is so difficult, I'm not sure where to begin to explain my problems thus far.

1st point is that I'm not sure if this is how I reply to you, as there is no explanation on how to reply!

2nd, when I saw your note on not being able to have 2 entries, I deleted the other one, under the Jomtien heading.

So, I'm now going to repost my Pattaya entry, please do not delete again unless it contravenes some other rule, if it does please explain why.

Thanks.

Charles Hamilton.

 * It is very simple. First read and fully understand WT policies on touting and our very extensive guide for business owners. Once you have done that and are able to post in compliance with the guidelines, you will not experience problems. --(WT-en) Burmesedays 05:11, 13 June 2011 (EDT)

Burmesedays,

It is NOT very simple, which is why I'm having this inane communication and spent a couple of hours or more trying to work it all out, for starters:

1. Post an entry: At first I thought, easy, you just click on add a listing. Then I though that this can not be right as the template does not indicate if the post goes to budget, mid level or where. So, I thought lets try edit and it worked after trial and error as was not sure do I key in all the * " < etc or what. Then after putting in the text and scrolling down, I had to figure out do I enter anything in the Summary box, do I tick minor edit, and, what the heck does watch this page mean, is this common everyday net terminology!?

Anyway, by hook or by crook, it seems I finally got there, the post was in.

Then I see it was deleted, I got it back in, not sure how.

Then, deleted again, with the message that I can only enter it once. Ok fine, do not agree but I accepted this, deleted the other entry (in Jomtien) and posted back again to Pattaya.

Ikan then deleted it again without checking that just maybe, I read his note and had deleted the 2nd entry.

2. There does not seem to be a quick easy reference on the rules of posting an entry, like not to use 1st person, 1 entry only etc.

3. No explanation on how to reply, to contact, to communicate, seems the assumption is that all users will know. I only now from this experience and by trial and error.

4. Seems that there is no glossary of the terms used under the headings of history, edit, discussion, it is all mumbo jumbo and not user friendly.

For the WT site to be used more and to have far more contributors etc, serious improvements are needed or it will remain a toy for the few and not the masses that I think is the target audience.

Finally, can I have my post back in please?

Thank you.

Charles Hamilton (Croydon) I can be emailed direct on hamiltoncharles@email.com

 * Working in any Wiki community format takes a bit of familiarisation work, but it is all there if you look. On the project home page, there is an obvious link to the manual of style. There is a lot of other important stuff for business owners at the links I already provided above. As for your listing, providing it is compliant with the guidelines which I have already brought to your attention, then just re-post it and it will not be deleted. --(WT-en) Burmesedays 10:35, 13 June 2011 (EDT)

We will have to agree to disagree, it is the most difficult website I have ever encountered. I'm no super user, but not the other extreme either, I'm more adept as a user than most I know. I was briefly involved (as an investor) in a company called Website Auditing which basically scored websites on various aspects, like navigation etc.

Some examples of this site that are current now to show how bad it is:

To reply to you, I have to edit, why not use simple basic clear English, use REPLY, not edit, reserve the latter for it's correct use, to edit all the posts.

Stupid flowery language is used, like the terms you just used Project home page and manual of style, ever seen another site to use such daft terms, think "How to make a post" etc might be better.

Another simple observation, how does 1 know when replying in My Talk to go to the bottom, my instinct is that the latest is best on top, is there any instruction to reply at the bottom?

Also, I do not agree with the policy of 1 entry max, certainly as it applies to my situation and likely readers. Tiya's Place is just a good budget small apartment block so if a reader just goes to the Jomtien page looking for accommodation, our offer will be missed. As most readers will just check on the Pattaya page, I need to post there (Jomtien is part of Greater Pattaya).

I therefore request you to allow me to enter onto the Jomtien page also?

I will now attempt to repost to Pattaya, if rejected, please advise why?

Thanks, Croydon

 * If you disagree with the one entry per business rule, please take it up on the relevant policy talk page. Wikivoyage_talk:Don't_tout would be a reasonable starting point. On your specific listing, as I suggested earlier, please make sure it conforms with WT guidelines and just repost it (once).
 * On the ease of using MediaWiki format sites, you might have heard of Wikipedia (the 4th largest website anywhere in terms of unique visitors). Wikivoyage uses the same basic Mediawiki platform and most commands are either identical or very similar. If you are completely new to using MediaWiki, it might take some getting used to, but hundreds of millions of users have managed that. --(WT-en) Burmesedays 03:52, 14 June 2011 (EDT)

- Sure, I refer to W/pedia almost weekly, a great site, but like most I use it to check on some info or other, not to post onto it etc. Think main point is not how many use it now, but how many more would use it if it is easier. Most folk are busy, just want to refer to it quickly for what they want, and move on. Then for those who want to post or edit, most will not want to spend much time reading complicated operating details to do so, just a quick read of the simple main instructions, do's and dont's, then make their edit or post and carry on with life! So, there should be 1 page on the HOME (not Main) page, headed: "How to Post and Edit" On terminology, why use terminology like SLEEP and SPLURGE, use what folk are used to and expect, ACCOMMODATION and maybe Luxury or of that ilk, but Splurge, c'mon!

Images
Hi,

Would you please upload your images to Wikivoyage Shared. Shared is our central image depository and any images that are uploaded there can be used by every Wikivoyage project like the German Wikivoyage. To use Wikivoyage Shared you'll need to sign up for another account, but you can use "Cupcakecommader". Thanks a lot! -- (WT-en) Andrew H. (Sapphire) 00:49, 23 November 2006 (EST)

Image ownership
Hi,

I noticed some of the images you have uploaded have been scanned from other material. Please make sure you have ownership of these images and can release them using our image policy and that any owner of the work is willing to release them using CC by SA. We take copyright very serious and will need to delete them images that are not release by the owner. Take a look at Project:Copyleft for some explanation. We do very much appreciate your contributions and hope you will continue to add content. If there are any images you don't own and unable to get a release from the actual owner, just let us know and we can delete them. Again, thank you for your help with the guide and we look forward to you future contributions. -- (WT-en) Tom Holland (xltel) 06:44, 23 November 2006 (EST)

 * Please respond — otherwise images like Image:ShekiTransportationMap1Small-Japanese.jpg will have to be deleted. (WT-en) Jpatokal 03:21, 7 December 2006 (EST)

 * After reviewing the Project:Copyleft, I think that the images should be removed until I can gain authorization of the usage for these items. Sorry for the problems, and I will try to keep my future contributions in line with Wikivoyage goals.

Azberijani babel
Dear Commander of the Cupcakes,

I'm still hungry. Mmmmm. Cupcakes.

Anyhow, I saw your request about creating Azberijani babel templates. I'm assuming you speak Azberijani so all you'll need to do is write out the templates. If you visit this section - Project:Babel - click on the template links and fill out the new templates. I'll do a little bit of work to help you out. -- (WT-en) Andrew H.

Baku
Hi! You put Baku up for CotW a few weeks back and mentioned that some attractions are missing... Any chance you could put a few details on the guide - if you haven't got much time someone else can surf round and get more details if we have the names! Also, could you give us a rough indication of prices so that we can split the Eat sections up into budget/mid range/splurge? Thanks -- (WT-en) Tim (writeme!) 07:27, 29 May 2007 (EDT)

 * Just a quick heads up, since I see you created an article for Xacmaz Rayonu. We are probably not going to keep articles for individual rayony, so don't bother creating new ones. Also, I left a quick question on Talk:Azerbaijan for you. I'm looking forward to getting the shiny new regions map up! --(WT-en) Peterfitzgerald Talk 23:59, 30 May 2007 (EDT)

I'll fix my goof on the map, but this reminds me: why are there signs for Şəxi around town? And I seem to remember people saying Şəxi, rather than Şəki. This is why I keep confusing the spelling—what's going on?

Sheki as OtBP
Hello again, O' commander of the cupcakes. I was looking at the Sheki OtBP nomination and what it would take to get it there. I would really like to make a Wikivoyage-stylee map for Sheki, but would need either 1) explicit permission from the Norwegian embassy (or any other Sheki mapmaker) to use their map as a base image for a derivative work that would be freely usable by anyone, or 2) any kind of overhead image of the city. An overhead image could be satellite (but I don't think there are any public domain sat images in high enough resolution) or just a high quality image or set of images taken from the same height and zoom (maybe from the top of the Sheki Hotel, or from a mountainside? As long as I can see the street layout, I can make a good map. Then I would probably need your help to get the street names and listings locations right. If you think this is a feasible idea, let me know! If we do get a tourist style map, it would not be a difficult push to make Sheki a star article. I agree, by the way, Sheki is probably the nicest weekend destination in the Caucasus, beautiful, relaxing, friendly, great food, and plenty of interesting historic sites. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 22:53, 3 August 2007 (EDT)

 * OK, I just need two more things and I'll get working on the map. First, since their message was still a little ambiguous, would you mind also pasting your email to them on my talk page. Second, could you upload a higher resolution scan of their map? The existing image is a bit too low-res for me to make a very good map. Looking forward to mapping Sheki--I didn't have a very good sense of the place when I was there! --(WT-en) Peter Talk 02:10, 13 August 2007 (EDT)

 * That looks pretty good to me. Just let me know when you scan a higher-resolution image (the bigger the better) and I'll get to work. I will be offline for the next week or so, though, so it may be a little while before I can get to this. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 02:17, 13 August 2007 (EDT)

 * Sure, email is fine, just don't go over 10MB in that case. Just click on the "e-mail this user" link on the left toolbox while at my userpage! --(WT-en) Peter Talk 02:26, 13 August 2007 (EDT)

Sheki Itineraries
Hey Josh, that first one looks good, but will require some more work with formatting and style. I'll try and help out when I get a chance. I've also listed a few more things that need to be done on the article at Talk:Sheki. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 22:47, 27 August 2007 (EDT)

 * So wait, the Albanian church is inside a warehouse inside a school? I know I didn't find it in any rate when I was there. ;)

 * I figured the teahouses would just be nondescript and all over the place. Nonetheless, currently we have no drink entries, which looks bad. Could you mark on the map (using MS paint or whatever program you might have access to) the locations of say 9 of Sheki's teahouses? That way I could at least show them on the map I'm nearly finished with.

 * And what about the bathhouses? --(WT-en) Peter Talk 01:50, 28 August 2007 (EDT)

 * Just a reminder about the teahouses ;) You'd just have to mark a bunch of the most relevant (like the one by the Khansarai). I know it seems a little unnecessary, but speaking from personal experience, it would have been nice to have had a few teahouses marked near attractions. And as soon as I get the locations from you, I'll upload the map and we can schedule Sheki as an OtBP of the month. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 22:50, 3 October 2007 (EDT)

Sheki map!
I'd really like to see Sheki as the OtBP destination of the month, and I think it's just waiting on my (basically finished) map. But I'm not willing to publish the map without any drink listings. So I'm just waiting on you to mark up 3-4 teahouses for me to add.

Hoping to hear from you soon! --(WT-en) Peter Talk 18:51, 1 November 2007 (EDT)

 * Hey Josh, I've now uploaded Image:Sheki map.png, but it still lacks the listings for which I couldn't find the exact location. Would you mind downloading my map, marking the following locations (using S1 for "see #1," H3 for "hotel #3," etc.), and then reuploading the map, so that I can complete it?

 * The locations I need are:

 * See: S1,S2,S3,S4,S7,S8,S9
 * Buy: B1,B2
 * Eat: E1-E7 (all of them)
 * Sleep: H2-H8
 * Hair cuts: X1,X2

 * So those letters tell me what type of listing and the numbers correspond to the key at the top of the map image I just uploaded.

 * Lastly, could you also draw in an arrow pointing out the route to Kish? I'll finish the map as soon as I receive your marked-up version. Thanks! --(WT-en) Peter Talk 07:11, 3 November 2007 (EDT)

 * Ah, one more thing--could you also leave me a message with a list of all the street names on the Norwegian Embassy's map, translated into Azeri? I'd like to put the Azeri names on the map the way they an Azeri would spell them. I've got my pc configured to type in Azeri, so that's not a problem. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 07:13, 3 November 2007 (EDT)

 * OK, I will do my best with the street names and you can correct them if I make mistakes. Also, did you see my see/by/eat/sleep/cope locations request above? That's now the last thing to be done with the map—I will await your newly uploaded map with these locations marked. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 03:21, 5 November 2007 (EST)

 * What about H2? --(WT-en) Peter Talk 20:45, 5 November 2007 (EST)

OK, I've now uploaded a final-ish version at wts:Image:Sheki map.png, as well as an svg source (wts:Image:Sheki map.svg). I created the map using Inkscape, and you can find more information about how to do this at Project:How to draw a map—it's surprisingly easy to do, albeit time-consuming and complex.

Before we put the new version on the Sheki article, would you mind double checking my spelling in the Azeri street names. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 16:26, 10 November 2007 (EST)

 * Please feel free to contradict me on the dotm page about the hikes. Although I wasn't actually thinking of any of the hikes we have listed—I was thinking about more serious high-alpine trekking, for those who do that kind of thing. I don't have any particular MoS edits in mind, I've just been meaning to try my hand at beautifying the article. I'm a bit jealous of you, getting to live in such a beautiful place! Hopefully life will bring me back to the Caucasus soon. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 01:12, 15 November 2007 (EST)

Thanks for contributing, but what is so important about Franklin County that it needs to be listed as an other destination in Pennsylvania? Currently it is a disambiguation page, so shouldn't be linked to.

Now if you were prepared to write an article about Franklin County (Pennsylvania), that would be different. I suggest you start reading our guidelines at Project:What_is_an_article? and go on to Project:Geographical hierarchy so you can understand how our articles are organised. Then you can determine which region of the state Franklin County should be placed in, as well as what places are in the county.

At least one destination town, with accomodation, is needed to justify a county article, preferably more like half a dozen towns really makes a county article worthwhile, at that with that many places being listed from all the counties in the state's subregion it starts to become too much for the regional article and county articles then make sense. I hope this makes sense to you, as we Wikivoyagers are still debating the need for articles about counties.

Meanwhile I am reverting your edit. - (WT-en) Huttite 04:58, 31 January 2009 (EST)

Hello! Welcome to Wikivoyage. I would recommend to start with our Tips for new contributors if you feel like it. To specialize your experience you may want to consider editing your preferences.

I apologize for that boilerplate message, but there are some useful links there. I'm excited to see all your great edits to Gori! Are you currently serving in the Peace Corps there? One of the projects I have going on is to get that article up to Guide status, as well as to build/improve wikivoyage's Georgian articles in general. If you have any questions or would like to collaborate on any Georgian articles, please feel free to leave me a message at my talk page. -- (WT-en) Peterfitzgerald Talk 09:32, 1 May 2007 (EDT)

Hey
Hey, it was nice seeing you in Sheki. I hope that you enjoyed the wonders of Azerbaijan! Looking forward to going to Gori! Also, have you thought about making yourself the Docent for Gori? (WT-en) Cupcakecommander 07:40, 7 May 2007 (EDT)

Gori Map
I'm thrilled to see such a great map appearing for Gori! Would you please add to information regarding your source material and, crucially, licensing. Without licensing, your map will get deleted and since it looks like you made it yourself, that would be a shame.

To help you pick a license, the main types of licensing allowed on Wikivoyage are CC-by-SA and Public Domain. CC-by-SA means that anyone can use your image as long as it remains free for anyone else to use (i.e., no derivative, copyrighted works), keeps it under the CC-by-SA license, and gives you credit for the image. Public Domain means you have totally released all rights to your image forever and anyone can use it for any purpose and will not need to credit you for the work. You might want to check out Project:Image policy and Project:Copyleft for more information.

Lastly, if your map is based on a vector graphics image (SVG), please upload the svg file so other editors can edit the map. If you don't have an svg file, don't worry! I'll be happy to make one based off your map, but first we need the licensing issue taken care of ;)

I think that, if we collaborate a bit, we could actually make Gori a star article! --(WT-en) Peterfitzgerald Talk 11:37, 23 May 2007 (EDT)

More Gori
Great work on the map! Please upload the new version of the svg file when you get a chance--the easiest way to do it is to click the link on the image page "Upload a new version of this file." That way we don't have to update any links. But do remember when updating to copy in the image info from the previous version because it does not automatically get carried over.

To get the Gori article in really fantastic shape, there are a few things you might be able to do that I haven't been able to (given my location in Washington D.C.), but of course this is only if you have time and feel like it!
 * Fill out the listings templates for each "buy," "eat," "do," and "sleep" entry. That probably just means street addresses, some phone numbers, some price info, and a brief comment/explanation for each.
 * Add entrance fee information, hours of operation, and (if possible) contact information for the Stalin Museum and Uplistsikhe.
 * Add a couple listings for the "drink" section. I don't remember seeing any bars during any of my visits to Gori, but I assume there must be some. Also, didn't you mention beer gardens in one of your edits? Although the best places to get a drink are probably in the restaurants, it would just look good to have some listings under the currently empty section.
 * I removed a few listings you had on your original map only because I wasn't sure what to do with them. If you fill these out in the article, it should be easy to figure out how to reintegrate them into the map.

Again, I'd like to be clear that I am not asking you to do any of this. These are just some guidelines to give you an idea of what the article really needs now, if you feel in the mood ;)

You also might want to check out the regional article for Shida Kartli. Right now its just an outline article that I cobbled together, but if you know anything about the other cities in the region, that could be very useful.

Lastly, next week I'm going to introduce a full regional schematic for Georgia and my current draft is right here. I would appreciate any advice you might have! --(WT-en) Peterfitzgerald Talk 00:38, 25 May 2007 (EDT)

Welcome back!
Hey, good to see you around again. As a heads up, I've nominated Gori for the Off-the-Beaten-Path destination of the month, and it looks like the article will be featured on the Main Page sometime early next summer. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 13:33, 13 December 2007 (EST)

Hi Cybjorg! Glad to see you here, and welcome. Here's the sort of standard welcome message which has a bunch of useful links for folks coming over from Wikipedia.

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

 * "External links" -> We do not use a separate external links section, but incorporate them into the text.

Just wondering
I'm a little curious as to how you "attempted" to vistit Syria. What's the story behind this and where did you end up going? (WT-en) Sapphire 01:03, 27 April 2006 (EDT)

As an American, I attempted to enter Syria from Jordan during a time when Syria wasn't too keen on United States. After visiting the Syrian embassy in Amman in order to acquire the proper visa, I was told by the Syrian consulate that I could purchase a visa at the border. Upon arrival at the border, however, the very unfriendly border control informed me that I should have purchased a visa at the embassy. After being made to wait for several hours, I finally went back to Amman. I plan to attempt entry again soon. - (WT-en) Cybjorg 01:23, 27 April 2006 (EDT)

Great map!
Amazing map for the Old City! Please tell me you're making more for the other three quarters? Also, it would be nice if you could upload the original SVG file and list names of the numbered attractions in the map itself. (WT-en) Jpatokal 04:27, 27 April 2006 (EDT)
 * I am working on the other three. The SVG file, however, is 4MB.  Will the upload feature allow files of that size? - (WT-en) Cybjorg 11:59, 27 April 2006 (EDT)
 * May be a little iffy, but complain to Evan if it doesn't. You might want to try (g)zipping it up first though to reduce the pain. 202.156.2.35 12:17, 27 April 2006 (EDT)
 * I got the SVG down to the managable size and uploaded it. I added some buildings on the map and listed the names on the map itself.  However, I am having a hard time overwriting the current version of the image.  Is it protected, perhaps? - (WT-en) Cybjorg 01:52, 28 April 2006 (EDT)
 * Actually I'd suggest you keep the numbers like you had earlier, but define the numbers in a separate box to the side — see Project:How to draw a map. As for uploading new versions, there's all sorts of caching weirdness involved but the long and short story of it is that it's working fine...  I think...  (WT-en) Jpatokal 02:02, 28 April 2006 (EDT)

Incredibly amazing work on the Old City quarter maps and the whole district page! Any chance of you whipping the rest of the Jerusalem articles into similar shape? (WT-en) Jpatokal 10:52, 30 April 2006 (EDT)
 * I'm still working on cleaning up the Old City article. Then I'll start on the rest of Jerusalem. - (WT-en) Cybjorg 12:43, 30 April 2006 (EDT)

Babel for Turkish and Arabic
I just added the Turkish templates, but Arabic is a little more complex -- Wikivoyage's Babel code doesn't seem to do the right-to-left thing properly and the bolding is messed up too. You don't need to wait for intervention from a Power That Is though, just edit this and see what you can do... (WT-en) Jpatokal 06:31, 14 August 2006 (EDT)

Photos to shared!
Just been looking at the photos you've uploaded! They look pretty cool! Any chance you could upload photos to shared next time? That way people from other language versions can get at them as well. Thanks. -- (WT-en) Tim 06:37, 14 August 2006 (EDT)

 * Sure thing. I wasn't aware that a shared resource existed, so thanks for the heads up. - (WT-en) Cybjorg 14:00, 16 August 2006 (EDT)

German Wikivoyage

Hi Cyril2000, it has been a long time ago that you have written for wikivoyage. Anyway, I hope you are still interested in the German Wikivoyage. Now, there are enough German speaking to start it. I have made a first draft translation of the German language file (Project:LanguageDe.php). Please have a look on it and make suggestions for corrections or improvements.

Thank you for contributing to Mediterranean Europe, Serbia and Montenegro and Zlatibor. Please read the Project:External links guidelines before adding more external links to Zlatibor. Also, are the images Image:Zlatibor.jpg, Image:Nosnjav.jpg, Image:Vodice.jpg, Image:Tornik - view.jpg, Image:Cajetina.jpg, Image:Kraljeve Vode.jpg and Image:Tornik.jpg all your own work? If not, do you have the rights to publish them? Please provide an image release note, for each image, that identifies the source of each image (e.g. photographer or copyright owner), date taken and permission to reuse under a CC-by-SA 1.0 licence or a more generous release. Images need to comply with the Project:Image policy or they will be deleted. -- (WT-en) Huttite 02:48, 18 Jan 2006 (EST)

Images
Several of the images you uploaded came from this photo gallery http://www.zlatibor.org/slike%20zlatibor/slike%20Zlatibor.htm/ - do you have permission to use them? If so, please publish your permission and other copyrigh information otherwise the images will be deleted according to the Project:Image policy. -- (WT-en) Huttite 03:23, 18 Jan 2006 (EST)

Image copyright
On (WT-en) my talk page you said:
 * I do have permission to use images from the web masters of that site and these sites:  and, but I don't know how to mark that. Could you also tell me how to mark that I am creator of an image? Btw, I see that you don't use any categories here (Special:Categories - there are none), and I'm wondering why? --(WT-en) George D. Bozovic 11:54, 22 Jan 2006 (EST)

 * Oh, yes, there's also another thing I'm wondering about. Why did you remove the external links from Zlatibor? I saw many articles containing external links on the bottom of the page. --(WT-en) George D. Bozovic 12:07, 22 Jan 2006 (EST)

 * My response : I will address each issue or question in the order they were asked.

 * 1) Permission from web masters to use images. It is all very well to have a webmaster give you permission, but unless they are also the copyright holder then the permission is invalid. The website that some of your images came from does not say that the images can be re-used by anyone. Also, while the web masters may have given you permission to use the images, have they given everyone else in the world the same permission? Because that is what needs to be done if the images are published on Wikivoyage. See Project:Image policy for details.
 * 2) Marking images with copyright details. On each image page there is a text page that allows you to give details about the image. You should say on that page, for each image. (a) Who holds the copyright. (or who is the photographer?) (b) Who gives permission to publish the image on Wikivoyage. (Who did you contact? Contact Details - Name, Address, Telephone, Website, Email, etc. - if they are not a Wikivoyage User) (c) Where the image came from, if it came from another website. (d) Date (year) of the image being produced. (e) The copyright release or reuse conditions that permits the image to be used on Wikivoyage. (f) What the image is about. Note: (a) and (b) should normally be the same people. See Project:Image policy for details.
 * 3) If you created an image, the previous point can be addressed by a statement like [Image description] Taken by [username] on [date]. Released under [copyright licence/release description], though if you say you took the photograph then we will assume you understand that it is released under the CC-by-SA 1.0 licence. See Project:Image policy for details.
 * 4) Categories. We do not use categories on Wikivoyage because they are not very useful for us and we haven't agreed on a use that is worthwhile, yet. See Project:Categories.
 * 5) External links. We used to have an External links section but found that people kept putting all the wrong sorts of links in them and none of the right sort. This left our article incomplete and ugly, because they just became link farms because people did not understand how the external links should be presented. So we decided to remove the section from our standard templates. As we only did this recently and there were about 5000 articles with these sections in them already, we still haven't found them all and removed them, yet. (And people keep adding them because they haven't caught up with the change.) We can list all the attractions with a website link assoiated with each, so there is no need for a separate external links section - unlike Wikipedia. If someone is wanting to put an external link in that does not fit into our articles then either they are not listing the right information or we do not need the information anyway, because it doesn't meet our goals. As we can also be a printed guide, we need the information here, not at the end of a web-link, which cannot be seen on paperr or off-line. See Project:Article templates and Project:External links.

I hope that answers your questions. -- (WT-en) Huttite 16:10, 22 Jan 2006 (EST)

Images again
Hi George, we really need to get more information about these images you have uploaded. If we don't get the information, we will have no choice but to delete them.

We need
 * 1) Precise information about who took who owns the copyright of the uploaded pictures.
 * 2) A copy of the "permission" you have been given so that we can check it for common errors.  We've had permission many times from people that, when carefully examined, was insufficient for our needs.  The permission needs to either release the image for any use (i.e., release it into the public domain) or needs to release it under our copyright license or needs to release it under terms compatible with our license.

I hope you can provide this information soon! Thanks! - (WT-en) Colin 18:03, 31 Jan 2006 (EST)

False copyright info on photograph uploaded by you
I found this image http://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Image:Zlatibor.jpg#file at Wikivoyage. Image info says that you posted image to Wikivoyage and that you are the author. Further, it is specified that image is available under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 1.0.

This is all false information, except that you did upload the image.

I am an actual author of the image. I never gave you or anybody else any approval of using this image, thus I never gave approval of publishing this image at Wikivoyage nor I ever approved publishing this image under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 1.0 licence. Finally, I was never informed that this image is published at Wikivoyage.

According to information on Wikivoyage, this image was published at January, 16th, 2006. Therefore you are using my intellectual property without my approval for more than three years. According to law I am entitled to fair compensation for usage of my intellectual property for this period of time.

Please provide sufficent information to whom I may send the bill. You may also send your offer for compensation which I may or may not accept.

Your payment for compensation does not give you any rights for further usage of this image. It will just cover your usage until now. You are requested to offer fair compensation for it's further usage, or to remove image from this site and stop using it anywhere else if you do use it.

Removing this image from the site now, does not relieve you from obligation to pay compensation for its usage up to now.

You may contact me at http://pedja.supurovic.net/kontakt/

If you asked me before publishing the image, my reaction would not be like it is now. —The preceding comment was added by (WT-en) 91.150.127.112 (talk • contribs)

Thank you for contributing over the last year, and most recently your article about Warth and Schröcken am Arlberg. What you have written is great. Trouble is the information in your article really belongs in either separate articles about Warth, Hochkrummbach, Lechleithen or Schröcken, or in an article about Arlberg. Also Warth and Schröcken is not discussed on any other page in Wikivoyage. It needs to be linked from Arlberg or Langen/Langen am Arlberg or somewhere else that is in Vorarlberg that either has an article already or you write an article for.

I'm reviewing the WikiTravel guidelines to ensure my contribution respects the overall feel of this site. I've been looking at other pages and trying to follow their lead. I'll make any necessary corrections ASAP. I'll also get back to you should I have any style or contribution questions. Cheers (WT-en) - Dagobert29 13:22 (EAT), 12 March 2007.

Thanks for contributing Abita Springs and Mandeville. Good starts on these articles.

I see you have already found our article templates. A few of minor points with their use, though. Articles should use the full template, not just part of one like you have with Abita Springs, though I see you have worked up a full template on the discussion page. Was that an accident? Discussion pages are really for discussing an article, not creating a full duplicate version of the article. Also, listings of attractions (restaraunts, bars, etc.) should give some contact details like a street address and other information in the listing form. That way we can find the place you list. Though you can always add the information later if you don't know it right now.

I see you create links from Louisiana for Abita Springs and Mandeville. This is good practice, though when you are creating new articles, please bear in mind our naming conventions; we only need to disambiguate places by their state, by adding disambiguators such as (Louisiana), if we already have another article about a different place with the same name. What you have done is OK, as a simple page move can resolve things, and we have an alternate name reserved, if it is ever needed.

Finally, I notice you edited Louisiana you dropped some information about Mandeville that would be nice to keep. - (WT-en) Huttite 06:27, 20 January 2009 (EST) and 06:06, 20 January 2009 (EST)

Hello Dalareich! Welcome to Wikivoyage.

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 are a Wikipedian then you may notice some differences in policies and the style of our articles. These include:
 * NPOV → be fair (not quite the same thing!)
 * be bold → plunge forward
 * Village pump → travellers' pub
 * External links → We do not use a separate external links section, but incorporate primary links only into the text itself.
 * sandbox → graffiti wall
 * stub notes → Article status notes

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

Please avoid using the first person, such as I, We or Our. Your contribution to Tagbilaran would be much better if you did not use Our or here, as to most readers it is your place and it is there. Also, we don't normally link to blogs. -- (WT-en) Huttite 05:46, 25 January 2009 (EST)

Welcome, business owner
Welcome to Wikivoyage! Unfortunately, you are likely to be disappointed here. Any kind of link to or listing of your touring/booking agency would violate the criteria listed here:

Project:Activity listings

Therefore, no such link or listing will be allowed.

We hope you will, instead, garner good will by sharing some of your knowledge of the city by posting information about the city on the Dalat guide.

All the best,

I hate to erase your work, but Wikivoyage doesn't do articles for bodies of water like the Baltic Sea, and you can't copy content from Wikipedia either. However, if you'd like to write about the more specific topic of Cruising the Baltic Sea, then that would make a good travel topic or itinerary. (You can rescue your old text from here if you want to.) (WT-en) Jpatokal 21:53, 3 June 2009 (EDT)

 * Ah, I see you got a recommendation to create that article, prior to my vfd. In any rate, I think that the information in that article would all fit just fine in the Baltic States destination guide, but lets continue the discussion at vfd. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 20:38, 8 June 2009 (EDT)
