Wikipedian welcome
[edit]Since it appears you may be a Wikipedian, here's the standard welcome message for Wikipedians (in addition to the welcome above) which has info that may be helpful to individuals used to Wikipedia:
Hello Allixpeeke! 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 are a Wikipedian then you may notice some differences in policies and the style of our articles. These include:
- NPOV → be fair (not quite the same thing!)
- be bold → plunge forward
- Village pump → travellers' pub
- External links → We do not use a separate external links section, but incorporate primary links only into the text itself.
- sandbox → graffiti wall
- stub notes → Article status notes
It may also be very useful for you to check out Wikivoyage:Welcome, Wikipedians. If you need help, take a look at Wikivoyage:Help, or else post a message in the travellers' pub or on my talk page. Thanks for contributing! -- Ryan • (talk) • 05:26, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
Wikivoyage uses a few different conventions than Wikipedia, including article naming - rather than "Fullerton, California", disambiguation is done via "Fullerton (California)". However, looking through w:Fullerton it appears that most of the other Fullertons are very small places (generally less than 1,000 people) and thus might not merit Wikivoyage articles (see WV:What is an article?), so for now I've moved the article back to just "Fullerton". If someone decides to create an article for one of the tiny towns then we can turn Fullerton into a disambiguation page that links to both articles. Hopefully that makes sense! -- Ryan • (talk) • 05:26, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
