Hello, CA2MI! 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.--ϒpsilon (talk) 05:13, 20 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Links[edit]

Hello, and thanks for adding all that great content to the Paestum guide! I really would prefer not to cramp your style in any way, but I want to let you know, anyway, that this site has a policy on what to link to and not to link to. http://sights.seindal.dk is not a governmental site nor is it the primary link for any site, so unfortunately, links to that site should be removed per Wikivoyage policy.

Please let me know if you have any questions, and thanks again!

All the best,

Thanks for your help. I'm new and appreciate your comments. Don't know if this is the way to reply to you. —The preceding comment was added by CA2MI (talkcontribs)
Sorry, I just saw this reply, so long after you left it. Yes, each reply goes at the end of the thread. The only thing is, on talk pages, the practice is to "sign" your name by typing 4 tildes (~) in a row at the end of one's reply. It's also helpful though not completely essential to indent a reply by using a colon at the beginning of the first line. You can see that I used an additional colon in my reply, which indents it a bit further for easy reading. Thanks for your edits to articles about the Vancouver area!

Maps[edit]

Hi, and thanks for all your work on Anchorage!

I don't think the maps you've linked are really Wikivoyage-style, though. Wikivoyage most commonly uses dynamic maps now. See Wikivoyage:How to use dynamic maps, although it's a little dated because very recently, editors here have been using the "mapshape" template. Or if you prefer, the older and still in some ways better Wikivoyage-style map is a static map: Wikivoyage:How to draw static maps. Those are most commonly created for non-bottom-level maps nowadays, and are required for non-bottom-level regions and such.

If you have any questions about maps, your best bet would probably be to post to the Travellers' pub.

All the best,

Listing templates[edit]

Hello, and thanks for all the content you've been adding! I hate that there's a "but", but there's a but:

Can you please explain why you altered the line spacing for a listing template this way? Also, while I have you, in the Homer guide, "Homer, Alaska" is default information that should be omitted from address tabs. Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:02, 6 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
