Hello, Drkameleon! 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. New users are also welcome to post any questions or concerns to the arrivals lounge. If you want some practice editing, please do so on our graffiti wall. If you are familiar with Wikipedia, take a look over some of the differences here. If you want to contribute with information about the place where you live, see Wikivoyage:Welcome, locals.

Thanks a lot for your work on phrasebooks, but be careful about over-standardization. "Avete" is "[Do] you (plural) have". It's insulting if used to speak to a single person. For a single person, you'd need "Le ha" to be polite. But why not restore "Ci sono" with an accurate translation, since that eliminates the problem of whether you're addressing one person or more than one person?

Also, make sure you're discussing things on talk pages for each article and not edit warring. I don't understand why you just deleted content in the French phrasebook, and deleting content shouldn't be marked as a minor edit. Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:19, 26 November 2020 (UTC)

Hi. To be blunt, there's no way you know all of those languages to a sufficient level to be adding and removing sentences on multiple phrasebooks. Two of the three sentences you added to French were clunky direct translations. Unfortunately, my knowledge of the other languages you're editing isn't good enough for me to know whether the content you're adding has the same problems, but please only edit phrasebooks for languages you can actually speak. I believe you want to help Wikivoyage grow, and so you must see that our content needs to be accurate. Now's the time to ask questions if you're unsure about anything. All the best, ThunderingTyphoons! (talk) 10:35, 26 November 2020 (UTC)

Hi there, I appreciate you're interested in editing our phrasebooks, but especially when it comes to phrasebooks please make sure you understand what you're writing. I had a look at your edits to the Swedish and Norwegian ones and I'm sorry to say that much of what you wrote was incorrect (see User_talk:LPfi#Swedish_phrasebook). --Ypsilon (talk) 14:03, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
