Hello. I appreciate your contributions, but please avoid copying and pasting from other websites. The only reason I haven't done wholesale deletions from the Prevalla guide yet is that I can't get [1] to load, so I can't see just how much text you lifted from there. If you do not paraphrase the quoted passages, the article may have to be deleted, as copyright violation is strictly forbidden on this site. Please help. Thank you.

I couldn't very well refer to their page because it wasn't opening. I'm glad they have a Creative Common License, but that still doesn't make it OK to just copy and paste from it wholesale without acknowledgement. We have a policy against uncredited copy and paste from Wikipedia, too. Have a look at "Can I copy text and other content to Wikivoyage from other sites?" at Wikivoyage:Copyleft. I think you will have to design a footer that's something like this: Template:Wikipedia. Or, better, you can paraphrase.

This is from Wikivoyage:Cooperating with Wikipedia:

"Remember that Wikivoyage, even if it is a Wikimedia Foundation web site, also is a project wholly independent from Wikipedia, and one of our principal goals is to enrich the world through that ever elusive online original content. Copy-pasting blocks of text from Wikipedia is very much discouraged, and will often be reverted. The best use of text from Wikipedia (or any other source with a compatible Creative Commons license or Public Domain status) is when you are having a mental block and grab phrasing from elsewhere."

All of that applies in this case, too, in my opinion.

All the best,

Telling a new user to create a footer, when they almost certainly don't know how to, is not helpful. Why don't you do that for them, or find someone who can? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:22, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

I missed this comment when you made it. To the extent I suggested the possibility of using a footer, I pointed to an example of a footer that could be easily copied, pasted into this article, and suitably edited. But as I also made clear (no? aren't "better" and "all of that applies in this case" clear?), I was really suggesting something other than wholesale cut-and-paste, even from a site covered by Copyleft. Paraphrases don't require citations on this site (though an acknowledgement in editing summaries would be welcome). Perhaps you'd like to pick this up and run with it.

I converted the coordinates to decimal values and added a template. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:22, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
