Hello, PDXMaria! 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 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. --Prahlad balaji (talk) 04:12, 19 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

The don't tout guidelines

[edit]

Hi, and thanks for all your great work on Westport (New Zealand). I'd like to call your attention to this site's don't tout guidelines and words to avoid. Please read those pages, because some of these edits are out of keeping with them. I'd appreciate it if you would try your hand at suitably editing out words and phrases like "The Adventure HQ" as an "alternate" name (sure looks like a promotional slogan, instead), "don't miss it!" "Premier", "well appointed and immaculately kept" (perhaps "clean", with a description of the appearance?). Also, please avoid unnecessary capitalization like "Each Suite & Studio".

I'd be glad to answer any questions you have after reading the links I've given you. Thanks again and all the best,

Names of hosts

[edit]

Hi, PDXMaria. I'm glad to see you editing again.

I'm seeing descriptions of accommodations that mention only the names of the hosts. Their names could be good to know but don't actually describe anything about the rooms, buildings or accommodations. If a friend asked you to describe these hotels (or whatever), what would you say? Anything specific you'd say to them that's specifically about the hotel (not the restaurants that are near it or whatever) is what should go in your description.

Thanks, and carry on!

All the best,

Hi Ikan Kekek. Thanks for that feedback, and I'll work on updating those so they have more information. I appreciate you keeping me on track. Today I was cleaning up my desk with notes I'd taken while on the road so just wanted to get them put in to Wiki. I'll go back and update them in the next day or two. --PDXMaria (talk) 08:03, 7 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
