Hello, SofiaBrennan! 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. Please note that Prague is a districtified city; the proper place to list it is Prague/Old Town and Josefov, and Hilton hotel is already listed there. Thanks for the edit anyway.

Please avoid SEO words

[edit]

Hi, SofiaBrennan, and thanks for adding hotel listings, though I think they're all Hiltons, in which case, you should declare in what capacity you are working for that chain, and it's important for you to read Wikivoyage:Don't tout, especially the "Marketers and SEOs" section, because if you are a paid marketer, you aren't allowed to add new listings at all, though corrections of objective facts (locations, contact information and the like) in existing listings are always welcome.

All that said, please avoid using any SEO terms in your listings. If you're listing a hotel in the Florence guide, don't redundantly describe it as a "Florence hotel". I've deleted those kinds of descriptions a couple of times and don't want to block your account for such an easily avoided thing. Also, with a few exceptions, Wikivoyage's listings guidelines are to provide street addresses only, no names of cities or postal codes.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

All the best,
