User talk:Bats84
Hello Bats84! 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!
Thanks for your edits to Olean. Happy editing!
All the best,

Tone[edit]
Hello again, Bats84, and thanks again for all the work you've been doing on the Olean guide - much appreciated!
There is a bit of an issue with tone, though. If you have a look at the editing history of that article, you'll see that I've made a few edits. Most of them relate to guidelines at Wikivoyage:Don't tout. I'm not at all meaning to suggest that you are intending to advertise these businesses for personal gain, but all of us are bound by consensus - that's how Wikis work. See if the guidelines on that page make sense to you. I'd welcome any questions you might have.
All the best,
