Hello, Iwuala Lucy! 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 want some practice editing, please do so on our graffiti wall. 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. Gizza (roam) 11:04, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
- Hello @DaGizza
- Could you please schedule a one-on-one session with me to help put me through. Iwuala Lucy (talk) 09:58, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
- I think you'll get a more-rounded and quicker response if you ask at arrivals lounge or travellers' pub than one-on-one session. OhanaUnitedTalk page 04:49, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you @OhanaUnited Iwuala Lucy (talk) 17:23, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hi, Iwuala Lucy, welcome to Wikivoyage. We're in need of more contributors from both Nigeria and Africa more broadly, so it's great that you're interested in the project!
- Sorry for the slow reply; I'm not so active on Wikivoyage at the moment, and as such I don't think a one-on-one session is going to work for me (also I'm now in a very different time zone to Nigeria so scheduling would be an issue).
- Having said that, feel free to ask any questions on my talk page if the Arrivals Lounge doesn't work out. I'd also be happy to look over any of your contributions and provide feedback if you'd like that. Best wishes, Jamie / ThunderingTyphoons! (talk) 04:52, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @ThunderingTyphoons! thanks for sharing. I guess I will start with minor edits. Iwuala Lucy (talk) 05:07, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
- @ThunderingTyphoons! What can be termed minor edits and major edits on WikiVoyage? Iwuala Lucy (talk) 05:24, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
- Minor edits just correct spelling, punctuation and such; anything that changes an article in any substantive way is not a minor edit, but there is no "major edit" category. But I'd encourage you to just add whatever you know that would be interesting to a traveller. If there's any issue, people will let you know. No-one expects new users to understand everything about this site, so don't worry too much about getting things "wrong," and content added by people who personally know about what they are writing is the lifeblood of this crowd-sourced travel guide.

- Ok then.
- Thank you @Ikan Kekek Iwuala Lucy (talk) 10:48, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hello @Ikan Kekek, is there no SandBox feature for WikiVoyage? Iwuala Lucy (talk) 11:58, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
- There is, it just isn't visibly apparent on the top right corner like on enwiki. There's nothing preventing you from creating User:Iwuala Lucy/sandbox, though. --SHB2000 (t | c | m) 12:07, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
- Great then.
- Thank you @SHB2000 Iwuala Lucy (talk) 12:18, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
- Glad I could help! --SHB2000 (t | c | m) 12:20, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
