User talk:(WT-en) Chris Roy

Hello, Chris! Welcome to Wikivoyage. Please take a sec to look at our copyleft and policies and guidelines, but feel free to plunge forward and edit some pages. Scanning the Manual of style, especially the article templates, can give you a good idea of how we like articles formatted. If you need help, check out Project:Help, and if you need some info not on there, post a message in the travellers' pub.

I'm wondering, also: why did you take out the spaces between section headers and the next paragraph in United States of America? Is that some kind of Wikipedia thing, or just personal preference? --(WT-en) Evan 15:14, 1 Feb 2004 (EST)


 * Hello, Evan. I apologize for not replying sooner.


 * About my removing the spacing below headings: it's both a Wikipedia thing and my personal preference; the Wikipedia Manual of Style page on headings recommends against spacing below them, deeming the spaces unnecessary. I hold this view, but the rule often goes unfollowed on the 'pedia; there, I tend to correct the spacing if I happen to notice.


 * Reading the page on section headers here on Wikivoyage, there's no mention of spacing, which would seem to imply that no preference exists. In the included article templates, my/Wikipedia's style appears to be predominant, while in a few pages the "full" spacing is used; in the rest, there's a hodgepodge of the two styles as we see the clashing (however slightly) predilections of various editors.


 * In short, it's no biggie. :-) I see that you've reverted in United States of America to the previous markup; that is just fine, as the distinction is unimportant, really.


 * Wikivoyage has grown and is growing into an excellent resource to which I intend to contribute more (even if I just correct typos :-). Thanks for being! (WT-en) Chris Roy 04:00, 26 Feb 2004 (EST)
