Listings for sites

@RhinoMind, Hjart: In this series of edits, I moved the listings for See and Do to the city articles to which they related in accordance to Wikivoyage policy (see WV:sections and WV:Region article template). The two of you have added a bunch of new listings to this article. While it is great to have added content for Wikivoyage, this information is in the wrong place. As you are most familiar with this region, please move the information you've added to the correct articles. Thanks. Ground Zero (talk) 20:57, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

Hello. Most of these sites aren't connected to any specific city. The ones I have added are very large areas, and I chose them as representing the entire South Jutland region. I have added smaller and less significant and defining sites to local articles. Draved Skov (which I didn't add) could be moved to the Tønder article, as it is rather small.

This isn't Wikivoyage style. Wikivoyage puts rural sites in the articles of the cities from which travellers will visit them. You can propose changes to Wikivoyage policy if you wish, but until the policy is changed, South Jutland should be organised in the same way as other region articles to make it easier for readers to navigate through Wikivoyage. Alternatively, you can create rural area articles below the region article if that makes more sense. Ground Zero (talk) 17:45, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

@RhinoMind: I have moved the listings here so that they can be moved to the correct city articles, or until rural area articles are created. Ground Zero (talk) 05:25, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

Listings to be added to city articles

I have moved these out of the region article according to Wikivoyage policy. These listings should be moved to the articles for the cities that are nearest to them. Ground Zero (talk) 05:22, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

I have commented out the listings that I have moved to city articles. Ground Zero (talk) 19:49, 4 December 2024 (UTC)
