User talk:Iwuala Lucy

Hello, Iwuala Lucy! 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. Gizza ^(roam) 11:04, 10 May 2022 (UTC)

Hello @DaGizza

Could you please schedule a one-on-one session with me to help put me through. Iwuala Lucy (talk) 09:58, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

I think you'll get a more-rounded and quicker response if you ask at arrivals lounge or travellers' pub than one-on-one session. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 04:49, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

Thank you @OhanaUnited Iwuala Lucy (talk) 17:23, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi, Iwuala Lucy, welcome to Wikivoyage. We're in need of more contributors from both Nigeria and Africa more broadly, so it's great that you're interested in the project!

Sorry for the slow reply; I'm not so active on Wikivoyage at the moment, and as such I don't think a one-on-one session is going to work for me (also I'm now in a very different time zone to Nigeria so scheduling would be an issue).

Having said that, feel free to ask any questions on my talk page if the Arrivals Lounge doesn't work out. I'd also be happy to look over any of your contributions and provide feedback if you'd like that. Best wishes, Jamie / ThunderingTyphoons! (talk) 04:52, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi @ThunderingTyphoons! thanks for sharing. I guess I will start with minor edits. Iwuala Lucy (talk) 05:07, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

@ThunderingTyphoons! What can be termed minor edits and major edits on WikiVoyage? Iwuala Lucy (talk) 05:24, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

Minor edits just correct spelling, punctuation and such; anything that changes an article in any substantive way is not a minor edit, but there is no "major edit" category. But I'd encourage you to just add whatever you know that would be interesting to a traveller. If there's any issue, people will let you know. No-one expects new users to understand everything about this site, so don't worry too much about getting things "wrong," and content added by people who personally know about what they are writing is the lifeblood of this crowd-sourced travel guide. Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:23, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

Ok then.

Thank you @Ikan Kekek Iwuala Lucy (talk) 10:48, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

Hello @Ikan Kekek, is there no SandBox feature for WikiVoyage? Iwuala Lucy (talk) 11:58, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

There is, it just isn't visibly apparent on the top right corner like on enwiki. There's nothing preventing you from creating User:Iwuala Lucy/sandbox, though. --SHB2000 (t | c | m) 12:07, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

Great then.

Thank you @SHB2000 Iwuala Lucy (talk) 12:18, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

Glad I could help! --SHB2000 (t | c | m) 12:20, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

Agriculture

Hi, User:Iwuala Lucy. In Talk:Owerri#Copypasta?, you said "The Users are only focused on documenting Agricultural Institutions on the this pages." Could you please explain how a focus on agricultural institutions is relevant to a travel guide? What makes them interesting to travellers? Also, can you give us any more insight into the project you are involved with? Is there a page that coordinates it that we can look at? Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:02, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

HiUser:Ikan Kekek

These institutions are relevant to the travel guide as here in Nigeria, most of these institutions are not easily located due to the fact that they're not that well known institutions, hence the essence: one who's carrying out Agricultural research can easily locate their location using the travel guide.

As Wikimedians participating in the global W4HR which one of it's sub-themes focuses on Agriculture, we are interested in documenting some of these Agricultural institutions in Nigeria so that it can easily be located. And also use it as a means of exploring the WikiVoyage project for more active contribution in it. Iwuala Lucy (talk) 07:32, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

Agricultural research is a specialized discipline, not something covered in a travel guide. I don't see how this project is compatible with Wikivoyage. Ikan Kekek (talk) 15:25, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

Ok then.

We'll take correction.

Thanks Iwuala Lucy (talk) 15:48, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

Default address info

Hi. In this listing] in the Owerri article, "Owerri, Imo" is default address information. For better or worse, we omit that in listings on this site because it would be the same for almost every listing. I'll delete it this time. Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:55, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

Ok then.

I understand now.

Thanks Iwuala Lucy (talk) 05:01, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

Sure thing. Sorry to throw so much stuff at you, and thanks for working with us! Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:14, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

Definitely, I'm appreciate every step of this learning process.

I also appreciate the fact that you're watchful and keen to correct.

Thanks Iwuala Lucy (talk) 05:18, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

Iwuala Lucy, Thank you for your contributions to the Owerri article. Please use Wikivoyage style for times when adding listings, i.e., 9AM-noon, 2-6PM. See wv:time. Thank you. Ground Zero (talk) 11:07, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Ground Zero Thanks for the correction. Iwuala Lucy (talk) 18:48, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

Karats

Is "Karats" really the name of a sport, or did you mean karate? Ikan Kekek (talk) 14:08, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

@Ikan Kekek thanks for calling my attention to this. It was a typo Iwuala Lucy (talk) 04:16, 14 October 2024 (UTC)

Change of Interface/Adding of Listing like "Hospital"

@Ground Zero

@Ikan Kekek

Want to know why I can't see my preview when I'm using Source Editor.

Also, Want to know how to go about adding 'Hospital Listing' with the listing feature attached to it. Iwuala Lucy (talk) 15:54, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

Hello Lucy, I am not a technical person, so I cannot answer your first question. We list hospitals under "Cope" and not under "Get around". I will give it for you. Regards, Ground Zero (talk) 19:02, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

I have no idea why you wouldn't be able to see a preview, either. Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:10, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

Noted Iwuala Lucy (talk) 03:32, 14 October 2024 (UTC)

Thank you Iwuala Lucy (talk) 03:31, 14 October 2024 (UTC)

@Ground Zero @Ikan Kekek I have been able to resolve the issue of not seeing 'Preview' by going toSpecial:Preferences#mw-prefsection-gadgets, under 'Experimental' and activating my "Mobile sidebar preview - Show page in mobile view while browsing the desktop site."

@Ground ZeroThanks for adding the 'Cope' section, however, it does not have the LISTING tool attached to it. How does one activate it? I'm asking because, its not everyone that would know how to go about using the Source Editor to duplicate and add new information. Anticipating your kind response Iwuala Lucy (talk) 03:57, 14 October 2024 (UTC)

You can always click the generic listing icon above your edit screen. It's the italic "i" just to the left of the word "Advanced." You won't see it on this page, but you should be able to if you click "Edit" on any page. Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:09, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
