Hello Blue cannonball splash! 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 need help, check out Project:Help, or post a message in the travellers' pub.

Thanks for your edits to Japan! One note though: we don't usually link to Wikipedia, because our guides are designed to stand alone (there's a company that prints them) and just linking to WP for everything encourages lazy writing. (WT-en) Jpatokal 13:12, 6 October 2008 (EDT)

Also, links to "official" sites for a destination (tourism offices etc) should be placed right at the beginning of the article, after the name. There are no "External/related links" sections on Wikivoyage, see WT:XL. (WT-en) Jpatokal 01:16, 9 October 2008 (EDT)
