Hello, Rocknlakes! 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.

All the best,

Preaching

edit

Hi. Re: this edit: In addition to my edit summary, I'd refer you to Wikivoyage:Don't tout, but I would also just say that preaching is not at all what a travel guide is about.

All the best,

Where to put listings

edit

Hello again. I want to give you a useful link: Wikivoyage:Where you can stick it. That link is a good resource for finding out which sections different kinds of listings normally are put into. For example, a town hall isn't a "Connect" listing unless it's listed for its Wi-Fi. It could be a "See" listing if it's a pretty town hall, or it could be an "Understand" listing if it's mainly a place to get tourism information.

Also, please never put anything else on the same line as a subtitle. When you do that, the subtitle becomes invisible. And also, if you want to insert a "Sleep" listing, it has to be put _below_ and not _above_ the "Sleep" subheading.

Please let me know if you have any questions about anything, and thanks for adding all that content!

All the best,

Thanks for helping —The preceding comment was added by Rocknlakes (talkcontribs)

You're welcome. And another little tip: On talk pages (only) it's customary to sign the ends of posts by typing 4 tildes (the ~ key) in a row. That shows who posted what, which can be especially useful to see in longer exchanges. Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:07, 7 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

Don't tout

edit

Re: this edit: You need to read Wikivoyage:Don't tout. Read it carefully. It's not OK to use 1st-person language or put up two listings for the same business. Read the link! Thanks. Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:51, 21 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

"image" tab

edit

Nothing but a filename of a photo that's on Wikimedia Commons can be in the "image" tab of any listing. Thank you. Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:42, 22 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

Beaver Dam

edit

Why didn't you do a search for Beaver Dam? Please edit that article as appropriate. The article you started is not in keeping with Wikivoyage:Naming conventions or normal capitalization. Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:38, 6 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
