Hello, Spshu! 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.

Welcome, Wikipedian!
editHi, here's the standard welcome text for Wikipedians, which I think you'll find a useful reference:
Hello Spshu! 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 are a Wikipedian then you may notice some differences in policies and the style of our articles. These include:
- NPOV → be fair (not quite the same thing!)
- be bold → plunge forward
- Village pump → travellers' pub
- External links → We do not use a separate external links section, but incorporate primary links only into the text itself.
- sandbox → graffiti wall
- stub tagging → Article status
It may also be very useful for you to check out Wikivoyage:Welcome, Wikipedians. If you need help, take a look at Wikivoyage:Help, or else post a message in the travellers' pub or on my talk page. Thanks for contributing!
The listing you added for Aulani in the Kapolei article has been edited for style, and specifically, to change the tone from that of Wikipedia, an encyclopedia with multiple links and citations to Wikivoyage, a travel guide that tends to avoid exhaustive detail and uses many fewer links.
Let me know if you have any questions about any of the edits I made, and thanks for adding the listing.
All the best,
