Hello, Chesschamp5! 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 Project:Help, or post a message in the travellers' pub.

I have reluctantly reverted some of your edits to New York City regarding transportation from the airports. Although they're all valid options, that article is already very long and adding additional complexity rarely helps it -- at the city's top level article, it's best to focus on the most common methods of getting around, and save the more esoteric routings for neighborhood articles (e.g., the Q48 is of no use for the vast majority of travelers, but it is relevant for the Flushing article specifically). Same reason that we don't list every possible bus that runs to JFK -- I've taken the B15 to New Lots on the (L), but I can't honestly recommend it for a total newcomer!

Likewise, station-specific listings are most useful when attached to a single listing (restaurant, museum, whatever). Someone going to LIC isn't going to pick one of the neighborhood's half-dozen stations at random, they're going to pick the one closest to whatever specific destination they have in mind. (The "directions" field in the listing template is ideal for this.) This is information that many listings are indeed currently lacking, especially in the outer boroughs, but improvements are always appreciated. -- (WT-en) Dguillaime 00:55, 12 September 2009 (EDT)
