Hello, Soman! 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.

- Hi, Soman, and thanks for your edits. I notice that some of them are to articles about Africa. If you've ever been to Dakar, please have a look at the article about that city and see if you find it accurate or have anything to add. The article has been nominated for a possible front-page feature as a Destination of the month, but none of the people who've edited the article recently has ever actually been there, so we don't really know how good an article it is.
- All the best,
Your account will be renamed
editHello,
The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.
Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Soman. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Soman~enwikivoyage that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.
Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
