Hello, Enricovedeluce! 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.

Thank you

Thank you very much for your great edits in articles about Greek islands!

All the best,

You're doing such a great job and have already made yourself a valuable contributor! Just one thing: Inline links to Wikipedia are not used on this site. Please have a look at WV:Links to Wikipedia for current policy on links to sister sites.

Thanks a lot for all you do,

Hi there! Thanks for your work. I just undid the deletion of the get in section for Ponta Delgada. I understand that the same information may be found in the general Azores article, but each article needs its own text for get in, not just a reference to find the information elsewhere. One of the reasons is that we want people to be able to print an article; clicking on to another one is not possible then. Keep up the great work!

Copyleft

[edit]

Hello, Enricovedeluce. The article you started on the Natural Park of Arrábida had to be deleted because it had extensive verbatim quotes from w:Natural Park of Arrábida without any credit being given in your edit summaries. That violates both Wikipedia's Creative Commons Copyleft and Wikivoyage's copyleft policy. I'm not sure where the rest might have been copied from, but if it's a copyrighted site, you absolutely cannot copy any long passages at all, regardless of what credit you give. Please be careful about this.

And by the way, refs and footnotes are not used on this site. Citations are normally made by mentioning in edit summaries where you got something from, and then paraphrasing and summarizing, except when it's really best to quote verbatim from Wikipedia, which is permitted with credit.
