Hello, GelliAnna! 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) 08:45, 13 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

Copyright[edit]

Hello, and thanks for trying to be helpful in the Nueva Ecija guide. However, almost everything you added had to be removed, because you copied it verbatim from other sites. That's a violation of copyright laws and this site's copyleft policy. It's also a bad idea to copy verbatim from Wikipedia including irrelevant footnote numbers; please read the Wikipedia page on this site for remarks on how it is and is not OK to use content from Wikipedia on this site (in brief, it can be summarized with credit, such as in edit summaries, and in rare cases, some passages can be copied verbatim, also with credit, but they have to be completely relevant to a travel guide). But we really need for you to promise not to continue copying and pasting stuff verbatim from other sites (including Wikipedia, for now). Will you please agree not to do that again, and remove any remaining copypasta from the article if any remains? Thanks a lot.

Best,
