Edit warring in Madeira[edit]

Hi. I'm glad you registered your account, but you are unacceptably edit warring in the Madeira article. Please stop ignoring edit summaries. Please read this:

Deleted copypasta from Wikipedia per Wikivoyage:Cooperating with Wikipedia and Wikivoyage:Copyleft. Please paraphrase and summarize for travel guide style.

I'll add another page for you to look at: Wikivoyage:Goals and non-goals. Being an encyclopedia is a non-goal of Wikivoyage but a goal of Wikipedia, from which you've copied this text three times, without the required credit or any good justification:

The clear waters and marine life of Madeira, known for its numerous nature reserves and marine areas, offer countless fascinating and electrifying dive spots. The marine fauna of this region consists mainly of coastal species. Sandy and rocky bottoms host numerous species of marine creatures : groupers (Epinephelus guaza ) and other serranids, salps, sea bream, mullet, scorpion fish (Scorpaena scrofa), moray eels, octopus, cuttlefish, barracuda, damsels are just some of the species that divers may commonly spot. Among the invertebrates, besides various species of anemones and starfish, we emphasize the presence of numerous bearded fireworms (Hermodice carunculata), known for their considerable size (up to 30 cm) and for their painfully stinging bristles. Common are also several species of crabs; the most curious of them is definitely the arrow crab (Stenorhynchus seticornis).Large, typically pelagic organisms can also be occasionally encountered: tuna, cetaceans (i.e. the spotted dolphin and Risso’s dolphin),sea turtles, manta rays and mobulas, and the famous but very rare monk seal (Monachus monachus).

How does it serve the traveler for you to copy an encyclopedic discussion of diving in Madeira from w:Madeira, even if you were to properly credit it, when the Wikipedia article is already linked to Madeira in the sidebar?

If you continue edit warring, don't be surprised if your account and associated IP addresses are soon blocked for being in repeated violation of Wikivoyage policies. Thank you. Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:46, 20 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
