Hello, Cleopatra Browne! 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.- Texugo (talk) 11:54, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

St Davids/Porthgain/etc[edit]

Hi there! Thanks for your work on these articles. I don't personally understand the address system for places in this area, but I just wanted to let you know that a listing for any given hotel/restaurant/shop needs to be placed in one and only one article. Some of these addresses list things like "Porthgain, St Davids", and I don't know which article would be more appropriate. If you could help us place each listing into only the most appropriate article, it would be much appreciated. Thanks! Texugo (talk) 11:54, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that Haverfordwest also has its own article. For each establishment, choose just one best city to contain the listing: Haverfordwest, Abereiddy, St Davids, Porthgain, etc. Thanks. Texugo (talk) 11:57, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hey there, Thanks for your top tips. Pembrokeshire is mega rural and even the locals (myself included) don't understand the addressing system. I'll edit the articles and in future only add a listing to one location. I'm guessing it's ok to refer to the other locations? For example visitors that are at Abereiddy beach often ask where to eat, I recommend Porthgain. Is it ok to mention a place to eat, rather than putting a duplicated listing in there?

Yeah, you can just put a note in the Eat section saying something like For more dining options, check the article for nearby Porthgain. Texugo (talk) 12:20, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Excellent, thanks for your help and patience with a newbie :) Cleopatra Browne (talk) 12:22, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Guides & Publications[edit]

I'm unsure why you created a "Guides & Publications" section here. The whole idea of Wikivoyage is that it in itself needs to be a complete travel guide, self-contained enough that a traveller could print a copy, take it with them and find their way around without relying on access to external sites or links to some other travel guide.

Hey there, thanks for top tips. I thought it was a good idea giving users even more information at their fingerstips...how wrong was I. I now see that linking to other guides is a no-no as per the external sites article. Thanks again Cleopatra Browne (talk) 14:26, 9 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
