Wikivoyage talk:Tips for new contributors
I wanted to start this page to give new contributors some initial tips on the software. Feel free to add new suggestions; remember to be welcoming! --(WT-en) Evan 21:30, 5 Apr 2004 (EDT)
default place for comments from newcomers[edit]
- You are the most important resource Wikivoyage has. Please feel free to ask questions, make comments, request help, or anything else you need. Your knowledge makes Wikivoyage a better guide; your comments on our processes makes Wikivoyage a better project.
Please consider to give some single link for newcomers in this paragraph so it doesn't remain so dead-ended. What is the best place for a newcomer to leave his question if he doesn't know where to start? -- (WT-en) DenisYurkin 20:32, 20 Sep 2005 (EDT)

copying from wikipedia[edit]
Is it ok to copy from wikipedia? I presume it's ok to use stuff from wikicommons? "Your contributions should be original work, created by you. Please don't copy text or images from other Web sites to Wikivoyage." Pluke (talk) 22:47, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

Reorganize[edit]
A list of 19 numbered items is pretty intimidating. And while I'm not suggesting removing anything, I think this could certainly be regrouped into sections; there's advice here for what new contributors should do, brief lessons of how to edit a wiki, and guidance about content, all mixed up.
If anyone else has thoughts on reorganizing this, go ahead, but if not I'll take a stab at it. --Bigpeteb (talk) 19:25, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
