Hello, Leutha! 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. If you are familiar with Wikipedia, take a look over some of the differences here. jan (talk) 15:39, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
- Yes, indeed welcome! I would like to let you know that I removed other-subject Wikipedia links to non-destinations like the names of people (Milton, et al.) from the Wikimania 2014 London Guidebook because we don't use those on this site. Please have a look at the external links page to see how we use external links, but the short version is that we use one Wikipedia link per article, and it's to the same subject as the Wikivoyage article (such as the link to w:London in the sidebar of the London article). Otherwise, we use links to primary sources (such as the websites of listed museums, pubs, restaurants, and hotels), but not to secondary or tertiary sources (such as Wikipedia articles about said museums, pubs, restaurants, et al.). Useful explanatory information, especially if it is not in a linkable primary source, should be provided in the relevant Wikivoyage article, not in a link. We realize that prompts more work for editors, but that's largely by design, as we prefer for people to put more content in our articles, rather than resorting quickly to referring people elsewhere, even to sister sites, but of course it's a bit more complicated than that, and there has been considerable discussion about changing these policies, but no consensus, and we don't change policies without consensus. Please feel free to ask any questions you might have, and please keep contributing.
- All the best,
