User talk:Grace789

Hello, Grace789! 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.

And thank you for all the work you've put in on articles about Nigeria! They've been looking great so far. Feel free to join the Nigeria Expedition, a project page dedicated to improving pages all about Nigeria. If you need help with anything, feel free to ask me on my talk page or on the Nigeria café. Have a Merry Christmas Grace :) --SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 05:31, 25 December 2021 (UTC)

Indeed, welcome, Merry Christmas if you're celebrating, and thank you for adding information about Nigeria to this guide! A couple of comments, though:

(1) There are standard subheadings. "By plane" is a standard subheading; "By Flight" is not, and we also have a capitalization style that uses sentence case in section headers, meaning that, usually, only the first word is capitalized.

(2) It's great to list the nearest airport, or the nearest airports if there is more than one nearby, but probably the most important information about airports is how far they are from the town the article is about, how you can get to town from the airport and how much that costs.

And when someone copy edits an article you're working on, please don't edit out their work without explaining why in your edit summary.

Thanks, and carry on!

All the best,

Hello Grace. Welcome Wikivoyage. Thank you for your contributions. Could you try to make sure that you are adding information to the correct articles? I have found several times you have added a listing to a city for a restaurant or a market that is in a different city. Please be careful. Thanks. Ground Zero (talk) 10:21, 26 December 2021 (UTC)

@Grace789: Thank you for creating the article for Mando (Nigeria). In this edit, you added a fast food restaurant that is 178 km away from Mando. That isn't useful for travellers to Mando. Please make sure that you add listings to the correct articles. Thank you. Ground Zero (talk) 14:23, 15 January 2022 (UTC)

Good Morning, Noted. Grace789 (talk) 09:40, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

Hello Grace, thank you for your contributions. However, in these two edits, you listed two resorts in Enugu. I have moved it to that article, but as you seem to have done this several times, can you please be more careful in future and put listings in the right place? Thanks, --SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 10:35, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

Hello again, you added a banner here which not only does not meet 7:1 ratio, but most importantly, it isn't even in Isuofia. Please put things in the right article. Thank you. SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 10:57, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

okay, have change it already. Grace789 (talk) 14:44, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

Please see my question at Talk:Abba. I do not understand why you have listed the Nimo market here when it is not in Abba. Ground Zero (talk) 13:54, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

Grace, we have a problem

Very soon after I asked why you posted a listing for a market that is not in Abba, you added a hotel that is not in Abba. I have reverted that edit. You have not responded to my questions. This is not a helpful way of contributing. If you continue to do this, I will block you from editing. Ground Zero (talk) 14:38, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

Ahh, but when i checked online that is the closest one i got to abba,I dont know if there is any other one closer to abba. Please dont block me. Grace789 (talk) 14:44, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

What if i dont get any one in that town i.e market cant i list the ones closer to the place? Grace789 (talk) 14:46, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

Then you don't list it. If a town does not have many places worth listing, then it may make sense to combine it with other towns in a rural area article. Ground Zero (talk) 15:26, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

okay, thanks but i dont know how to combine them. Grace789 (talk) 16:00, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

It is easy. Start by redirecting Abba to the new article by replacing the text with this coding:

#REDIRECT[[]]

with the name of the rural area in the brackets. Add the text from Abba and any other towns in the rural area to the new article. Add the new article to the list of cities in the South East Nigeria article. I will help if I see any mistakes. Ground Zero (talk) 17:49, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

The relevant policy is here. Ground Zero (talk) 21:02, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

Okay thanks i will try. Grace789 (talk) 20:21, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

See Talk:Etim Ekpo. I don't understand why you listed a market in what seems like a distant town. Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:31, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

Don't put commas in links, please

Please look at how I corrected this mistake. Red links don't work, and place names on this site don't include commas. Also, please pay attention to edit summaries people leave when they make followup edits to your work. Please let us know if you have any questions, and thanks. Ikan Kekek (talk) 14:00, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

Okay, i will not repeat the same mistake again. Thank you. Grace789 (talk) 14:11, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

Thank you. Ikan Kekek (talk) 14:47, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

Copyright

Grade, you cannot just copy text from other websites. The text you added here is copied from here. That is copyright violation, which can cause legal problems for the Wikimedia Foundation. Don't do that again. See wv:copyright.

Also, Wikivoyage is a travel guide, not a guide for people buying properties, so it was not appropriate. Please be more careful in adding content. Sometimes it seems like you are just trying to add content to win the contest, instead of trying to write a useful travel guide. You are making a lot of work for those of us who are here you write a travel guide, and we do not appreciate that. Ground Zero (talk) 13:55, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

Good day, sorry for any inconvenience. Is it that i should have used add listing instead of copy and paste. Grace789 (talk) 14:09, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

Grace: You can't use someone else text word-for-words. You can say the same thing in your own words, but you cannot steal blocks of text from another website.

You can use text from Wikipedia because of Wikipedia's "fair use" policy, but you have to put this template on the article's talk page if you do that: {{Wikipedia}}. Thank you. Ground Zero (talk) 17:42, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
