Hello, Rajaramraok! 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.

Unfortunately, the article you started about Anshi National Park is a verbatim copy of the article of the same name at Wikitravel, and not even credited as such in an edit summary. I see that you did most of the work on the Wikitravel article, but the article's history shows that the work is not exclusively by you, so it is necessary to delete the article, per this site's copyleft policy. In addition, Google heavily penalizes sites for verbatim copying. It would be great if you would edit the Wikitravel article to be significantly reworded, and next time, please make sure to credit it in your first edit summary. Edit summaries can be typed in the "Summary" box right below your edit screen. Also, please note that Wikivoyage uses a different park article template than Wikitravel, so for example, we do not use a "Get out" section.

If you have any questions, please ask them below.

Best,

Please stop re-creating an article that has extensive, uncredited copypasta from Wikitravel. I must again delete. Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:41, 7 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

Article spellings

edit

Hi, and thanks for adding so much content! But when you insert place names in "Go next" sections, please use the spelling actually used for the articles you're linking, not a spelling you personally prefer. So in the case of Mangalore, the solution if you'd prefer for this site to use Mangaluru is to make the argument at Talk:Mangalore that the Mangaluru spelling is currently the most used in English, which is the standard for Wikivoyage:Naming conventions. Go ahead and make the argument there and see whether you can persuade a consensus, but in the meantime, please use the spelling used on this site. Thanks.

Please stop doing this. You're creating a lot of unnecessary work for other volunteers. Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:34, 2 October 2019 (UTC)Reply
I really didn't want to do this, but I've blocked you for an initial period of 1 day for persisting in doing this. Please, _please_ propose changes in spelling on the talk pages of every article for a city you think we haven't used the most-used English spelling for. If you plan to do this, post below and your suspension will be ended so that you can start the relevant threads. Don't change any place name spellings in links unless you have already gained a consensus to change the relevant article names. I have to add that if you keep ignoring this exhortation and freelancing on place names, it will extremely regrettably become necessary to suspend you for longer and longer periods of time in the hope of finally getting your attention.

Subheadings in "Get in" and "Get around"

edit

Hi. Please have a look at this edit. Wikivoyage:Big city article template gives you clear examples of subtitles, too, and these can be used as needed in an article that uses Wikivoyage:Small city article template, where subtitles like "By plane" are optional but often useful.

Specificity in listings

edit

Sorry to seem to be picking on you, but this is not usable information:

"There are many hotels at Sangli to stay. Hotel Anuradha, Hotel Indira sagar,Hotel Krishna International."

Where are they?? Please use Wikivoyage listing templates and fill in as much of the information as you have - particularly address, telephone number, URL if any, price and description of the accommodations (specifically, not "good accommodations" or something like that).
