Add topicI am editing article about Daebudo..
[edit]And I need some review about the article that I am making now. Please review and leave some comments about my article, Daebudo. Moreover, I would like to change the picture of the banner of Daebudo. If anyone knows how to change the banner picture, please let me know how to do so. Thank you!--Misokkkim (talk) 02:33, 2 November 2015 (UTC)Misokkkim
- Hi Misokkkim, this is how to do banners: Wikivoyage:Banner_Expedition. If you don't feel like going into that by yourself, I am happy to offer help - that means crop (or otherwise edit) a picture (pictures) that you suggest, upload the new version to Commons and insert into the guide. Do you have any particular photo in mind that you believe would look good in 7:1 aspect ratio? I can do the task technically, but I don't know the place, so I would prefer you to give me an idea which photo will represent Daebudo well. Danapit (talk) 08:04, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
- This destination is certainly off the beaten track. I could find only one potential image on Flickr and Commons and I made a banner and uploaded. It isn't very good, so if you find a better CC image then feel free to replace. --Andrewssi2 (talk) 21:39, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
- Nice article, makes me want to go there :-) Syced (talk) 09:26, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
What to call "pensions"
[edit]I understand what "pension" used as an accommodation means because I've been to Italy and know what "pensione" means in Italian, but at least in American English, "pension" is a word that is used only for the money that is paid to retired people. Can we instead call these places bed & breakfasts (B&Bs), or is there a better way to describe them (after all, a "pieno pensione" in Italy provides not just breakfast but also lunch and dinner). Is the word "pension" used for this type of accommodation in any English-speaking country, by the way? Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:45, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
- Also, in the German-speaking Europe "Pensions" are very common. I looked up pension on WP and they don't seem to exist in English-speaking countries. "Boarding house" or "guest house" is perhaps a better term than B&B, as they have serve more than just breakfast. ϒpsilon (talk) 12:35, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
- Either term would be understandable to an American. "Guest house" is more common, nowadays, but doesn't always imply full board. Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:48, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
- In South Korea the term 'Pensions' is used a lot (I believe it is a term actually originally taken from German). It isn't actually an English term as far as I know, therefore a clarification to 'guest houses' would be in order to avoid the confusion Ikan is referring to. Just bear in mind that many Koreans themselves would not know what a 'Guest House' is. --Andrewssi2 (talk) 21:52, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
- I edited the "Sleep" section. I think that similar edits will be needed in some other articles about Korea. Most Americans will be confused by the word "pension" being used for something other than money. Ikan Kekek (talk) 12:50, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
Meaning of sentence in "Buy" section
[edit]What does this mean, please?
Salt kkaempari (salt from Dongju Salt Field), floored pottery pieces (called ‘kkaempari’), not general pan on the bottom of salt pond, Daebudo makes the best quality of sun-dried salt.
I don't understand. Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:59, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
- first, sorry for my poor translation :(, in that sentence, I'd like to talk about the process of making the salt. 'Kkaempari' is broken piece of pottery. Daebu's salt field uses these pieces when they produce salt, which makes the salt special unlike other salt fields. Generally, there are pad(or board or slab, I'm not sure which word is suitable) on the bottom of salt field to make salt(sorry, I'm not the expert at this area, I can't say the name or process exactly). instead of normal pad(or board or slab), people here use those broken pieces to produce salt. because of this 'Kkaempari', salt of daebu is famous. That what I'd like to write. -Shinae Hyun (talk) 17:13, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
- What causes the resulting salt to be better than salt produced in more common ways? Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:40, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
- The salt produced from "KKaempari" contains much minerals due to anabolism through small gaps in pottery. also, through these gaps, harmful ingredients(such as heavy metal content) from mudflat is pured. Salt produced in common ways can't work like this because they use PVC rubbur boards on the bottom of salt field rather than "Kkaempari". - Shinae Hyun (talk) 12:25, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
Please review my article, Daebudo
[edit]Daebudo is a beautiful island in Korea. I created Daebudo article, and try to develop the article better. Please give a review for me! —The preceding comment was added by Misokkkim (talk • contribs)
- According to Wikivoyage:Currency, prices should be written as ₩900 rather "900won". Nurg (talk) 06:12, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
- Nurg, I think all the prices are fine. Can you point out any errors?--Misokkkim (talk) 00:53, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
- Misokkkim - see the listings for Ansan Fishing Village Folk Museum and Chungmunkyu Museum.
- Also, please make sure that all opening hours follow the format in Wikivoyage:Time and date formats. This applies to most of the listings in the See and Art centers sections.
- Please add more restaurant and hotels, with latitude/longitude. Thanks! Syced (talk) 06:57, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
- Also please add some cafés, as "Drink" is empty. I am sure there are places to have a drink near the beach? Syced (talk) 08:52, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
Format of prices
[edit]According to Wikivoyage:Currency, South Korean prices should be written as ₩900, rather than "\900". Nurg (talk) 04:10, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks for your comment. I've changed it. -Shinae Hyun (talk) 07:53, 22 November 2015 (UTC)
Who will mark the article a Guide?
[edit]I´m wondering who makes the article a guide. If I´d like to make an article I´m working on as guide, do I have to leave a message on Travellers'pub by my self? Just wondering about the process of making a Guide. - Shinae Hyun (talk) 03:02, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
- It looks like the article you're talking about is Daebudo. Any user can upgrade an article to Guide when it's ready, but first there are certain requirements that an article has to fulfill. Unfortunately, Daebudo isn't quite at Guide status yet. Please see Wikivoyage:City guide status, which will tell you what improvements the article needs in order to be upgraded (for starters, the "Drink", "Connect", and "Go next" sections can't be empty). -- AndreCarrotflower (talk) 04:30, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
