Yellow pages[edit]

While this is a nice article and a ton of work is going into it, one of the goals of Wikivoyage is to avoid being a yellow pages of all establishments in a city. Generally the goal is to try to pick some highlights and write a review of those establishments - see Project:Restaurant listings and Project:Goals and non-goals for details.

It may be sufficient to simply add a sentence about some of the fast-food restaurants in San Leandro ("San Leandro offers the standard chain restaurant selection, with McDonalds, KFC... all having stores in the city") and focus the guide on places that might be of more interest to travelers. -- (WT-en) Ryan • (talk) • 20:05, 25 June 2007 (EDT)

Manual of style[edit]

There have been several edits by an anonymous user that reverted edits meant to bring this article in line with the Project:Manual of style. All articles should conform to the article guidelines unless there is a good reason not to. Additionally, to the anonymous user making these changes, it would help us very much if you created a user account so that we can communicate with you. -- 16:27, 6 July 2007 (EDT)

Also see Project:Listings, Project:Restaurant listings, Project:Accommodation listings and Project:Manual of style. The correct format for a listing is:
*'''Name of Place''', Address (''extra directions if necessary''), phone number (''email, fax, other contact if possible''), [http://www.hotel.example.com/]. Days and times open. One to three sentences about the service, atmosphere, view, rooms, what have you. $lowprice-$highprice (''extra price info'').
This can be automatically created using:
* <buy name="" alt="" directions="" address="" phone="" email="" fax="" hours="" price="" url=""></buy>
