Welcome[edit]

Hello, welcome to Wikivoyage, and thanks a lot for helping out with the Briarcliff Manor article. Both the addition of content and the help with formatting are appreciated. However, two relatively small things:

(1) Please have a look through the external links page. You are using the footnote-style links, with have been deprecated in favor of front-linking. (2) On this site, we link to Wikipedia articles only on the same subject as the article in question (so in this case, w:Briarcliff Manor), and only at the end of the article, such that they appear in the right sidebar.

Thanks a lot.

All the best,

@Ikan Kekek:Thanks, I copied the footnote-style links from other Westchester municipality articles (they all seem to have it that way). I'll attempt to switch them out soon. Also, I was trying to resist linking to Wikipedia, but the Leatherman is such an obscure but interesting topic that I felt it proper; anyway I'll remove it. Thanks for the help and welcome, I really appreciate it. -- (talk) 01:37, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
There are definitely good arguments for allowing some inline linking to Wikipedia, but also good arguments against, based on the difficulty in limiting them if any are allowed. Anyway, thank you for adding content! One question: Are you copying content other than basic listing details? Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:13, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Ikan Kekek:You're welcome. In response - I wrote the Wikipedia article on Briarcliff, and have been copying some content from there. Otherwise, I haven't.-- (talk) 02:38, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Understood. Best, Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:47, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Lists, etc.[edit]

Hi. Please have a look at my remarks at Talk:Briarcliff Manor. You've done a lot of great work on this article, but I'm concerned about the long lists of businesses without descriptions. Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:34, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
