User talk:Ferdi2005

Hello, User:Ferdi2005, and welcome to Wikivoyage. Can you explain your relationship with User:Federica.martino99, since you appeared to answer for her here? I guess it's OK, based on her(?) edits on that page, but how many accounts do you have on this site, and if you have multiple accounts, why? Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:08, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

Links to Wikipedia

Thanks for your explanation on my user talk page. I was just looking at the Fasano article, and I'm seeing inline links to Wikipedia. We normally don't do that. Have a look at Wikivoyage:Links to Wikipedia, which specifies when and how we link to the sister site here. While I'm at it, I'll mention, too, that we avoid encyclopedic attempts at precision on things like population, so though I don't want to risk an edit conflict and will hold off on editing the Fasano article for now, I would change "39,566 inhabitants" to "about 40,000 inhabitants". That's really quite close enough for a travel guide.

All the best,

Ok! Thanks @Ikan Kekek:--Ferdi2005 (talk) 17:59, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

And here's the official Wikivoyage welcome message for contributors already familiar with WP. Benvenuto! :)

Hello Ferdi2005! 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 tagging → Article status

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! --Ypsilon (talk) 18:12, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
