Hello, Bigburywell! 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 need help, check out Help, or post a message in the travellers' pub. If you are familiar with Wikipedia, take a look over some of the differences here.

Excellent work on Warminster!

Thank you AndreCarrotflower for your support. Your comment was just what I needed. Wasn't sure if my text was good enough or not at my first attempt on this site but your comment answers that for me and is very encouraging. I'm going to add some more input to the Wikivoyage Warminster page today. Appreciate your compliment. Thanks. Bigburywell (talk) 09:13, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The saying around Wikivoyage is "plunge forward". A good thing to remember about this place is that it's very difficult to truly mess things up. Virtually all mistakes can be reverted - and with the exception of vandalism and other edits that are clearly in bad faith, we usually don't even go as far as reversion; we tweak the format where necessary and preserve that majority of the contribution that is valuable.
And anyway, I think if you were to ask most of the regulars here, they'd tell you they made similar mistakes when they first arrived, and learned the ways of Wikivoyage through experience. There's really no need to be intimidated!

Hello, and thank you for all the content you've been putting into the Warminster guide! When you get a chance, please look at the style of external links that is standard on this site. We don't pack URLs here, unlike many other sites.
All the best,

Hello Ikan Kekek. I appreciate your advice and I have removed many of the URLs I had inputted, to avoid conflicts with the Wiki manual of style.

Cheers,

I thought the URLs were fine - we want URLs for listed businesses. It was only the linking format that was non-standard. Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:17, 9 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Ikan,

Thanks for your message. I appreciate your assistance.

I do realise the URLS are wanted and I will reinstate them when I have learned the way how to do the correct linking format.

Cheers

Hello Ikan,

I have now reinstated the URLS with the correct linking formats. Definitely looks much better.

Cheers,
