Welcome
Hi. I see we are a little late for the welcome, but here it goes.

Hello, Makewa! 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.

Re: the external link to a map you added to Banlung article, (WT-en) Burmesedays was completely right at removing it, and I had to remove it back&mdash;please don't take any offence, but it was a violation of external links guidelines, about which you can read here. In short, putting links will be little to no use for travellers using the guides as printouts (and that's one of the goals of Wikivoyage) and as such it's much better to put maps (that have licenses compatible to Wikivoyage's, of course) right at the guides instead of behind links. – (WT-en) Vidimian 17:31, 14 July 2010 (EDT)
