Removing zip codes on Remich page

Hi Wauteurz,

I noticed you undid my edit that removed the postal codes on the Remich page. I want to notice you that I applied the Wikivoyage standardized formats for address listings, which states that postal codes should not be listed, except for listings in the UK. Also, it is recommended not to include the city if it is the same as the page title. All these recommendations are clarified on Wikivoyage:Listings.

Looking forward to your response, Podrozniczek (talk) 10:27, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

@Podrozniczek: I was not aware of that. Most of the pages I've made and edited here are for cities and their greater surroundings, so I just did it by default, as many listings I've made are around and not in the article's location. My apologies for undoing your edit and thank you for the heads up.

Page banners

Awesome work on all the new page banners. Just thought it should be said so you know your work is being appreciated. --Traveler100 (talk) 12:18, 16 September 2017 (UTC)

• Agreed. Great work. Ground Zero (talk) 12:50, 16 September 2017 (UTC)

Thank you! I found out how much I liked making banners during the half-week last month in which I made as many banners for the Benelux as I could, and I figured I would take that a step further :)

Not sure it should be speedy link as other articles link to it. Have added to Wikivoyage:Votes for deletion. --Traveler100 (talk) 05:05, 28 September 2017 (UTC)

Vlaardingen

Nice work! Ground Zero (talk) 14:23, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

Thanks! I was slightly bothered by Dutch destinations that told a reader no more than "This place exists". I've been planning for a while to finally plunge forward and up the quality of these articles, starting with the smallest articles. There's more to come! :D

We now, however, have the somewhat paradoxical situation that some Dutch destinations have a better en-WV article than nl-WV. This is by no means a huge problem, but it might lead to Dutch speakers who aren't all that confident or competent with their English (and yes, those do exist) being less likely to contribute and ultimately a healthy community in other language varieties helps us at en-WV as we can translate articles or harvest listings. That said, I feel more comfortable at en-WV than de-WV so I understand if you don't want to spend all that much time writing basically the same stuff again in Dutch.

I understand the problem, and it is by no means the case that I've never translated my articles to Dutch. I may at some point take time to pick this back up, but to say the least, I'm not really bothered to do so. I'm more certain of my English skills than my skills in my native language, as is the general problem with my generation. Perhaps the two active users on nlWV that I know of (@De Wikischim, FredTC:) are also willing to translate some articles to Dutch.
