Ad Orientem

Hi! I see your first edit was in 2014, so a welcome is way overdue! Anyway, here it is:

Hello, Ad Orientem! 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 Help, or post a message in the travellers' pub. New users are also welcome to post any questions or concerns to the arrivals lounge. If you are familiar with Wikipedia, take a look over some of the differences here. If you want to contribute with information about the place where you live, see Wikivoyage:Welcome, locals.

Thanks a lot for adding content to articles such as the one about Skiathos! One pointer about URLs: We use only primary URLs on this site, so for a monastery, that would be its own website, if any. Failing that, I think it would be fine to link to the page about the monastery on a governmental office of tourism's site, but we don't link to private tourism agency sites per Wikivoyage's tour listing policy and guidelines on what not to link to. I'm sorry because you're just being helpful. You could always post to Talk:Skiathos and argue for an exception on the basis that it's important enough to travelers that we should override our usual guidelines. A consensus there would be sufficient.

Thanks again, and all the best,

@Ikan Kekek: No worries. I'm fine with removing the link. -Ad Orientem (talk) 02:52, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

Motels

I saw you added a section to Panama similar to that in Costa Rica. I suppose it would make sense to add that text to Latin America or some travel topic (Motels?) and link to there from the country articles (with just a sentence explaining why to follow the link). –LPfi (talk) 18:36, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

That's a thought since the term is used in much the same way throughout Latin America. -Ad Orientem (talk) 18:40, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
