Hello, Motorracer! 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.--ϒpsilon (talk) 14:41, 12 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hi, Motorracer, and thanks for adding content and doing some good copy editing. I had to do a partial deletion of your recent edits at Driving in the UK because you listed this site twice in the same article, which is not allowed.

But I have a question about the site: Does it make money from advertising? If not, it may be OK to link it a single time in each article where the link would be helpful, even though it does run Google syndication ads (but that's an arguable point and not a slam dunk). However, if it does make money from advertising (as I figure it must), my reading of don't tout is that the site constitutes a business and therefore can't be linked on more than a single page, unless a consensus is established to make this site an exception from our normal rules, and I think the place to broach that discussion would be Talk:Driving.

And my second question is: How many articles on this site do you intend to link to that site? Because the more articles you link to it, the more it looks like you're spamming the site, even though that's probably not your motivation at all. Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:16, 23 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

Thanks a lot for your reply to my post in the previous section, which I replied to on my user talk page.

I noticed you created a "References" section at the end of Driving in the UK‎‎. Unlike Wikipedia, Wikivoyage does not use refs — see the external links page. So please remove them, or if you feel it's really important for people to know your sources, put the links on the article's talk (discussion) page with an explanation. And at your leisure, you might want to read the Wikivoyage:Welcome, Wikipedians page, which explains the differences in goals and style between the two sister sites.

Thanks again for adding content and doing some welcome copy editing!
