User talk:(WT-en) Stevenmonash

Hello Stevenmonash! 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.

Please review Project:What is an article. We appreciate your contributions, but you might want to stop creating pages which will be merged or deleted. (WT-en) OldPine 11:30, 1 August 2008 (EDT)


 * All information should go in Ibajay. Do not copy from other websites as they are copyrighted differently than ours. We also do not use first person phrasing except at Wikivoyage Extra (link to left). We are happy to have you offer your expertise and guidance by becoming a docent for the city or region.

Images nominated for deletion
Hi Steven, I nominated several images you uploaded for deletion because they violate our copyleft and privacy policy. Please have a look over our copyleft and our image policy. Also please feel free to voice your opinion at the Votes for Deletion page. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 23:12, 4 August 2008 (EDT)

First person phrasing
I removed a lot of your contribution to Ibajay. We do not use "we", "I" or "our" in our guide. If you want to tell about yourself, it belongs on your user page. (WT-en) Morph 16:23, 5 August 2008 (EDT)

RE; Your email requesting explenation on Ibajay revert
The revert in question is


 * Reasons why I have reverted it:
 * Copyright violations: A large percentage of the transportation text was copied and pasted from, Copyright 2008 WWW.IBAJAY.COM. All Rights Reserved.
 * Copyright violations: Images are copied from, Copyright 2008 WWW.IBAJAY.COM. All Rights Reserved.
 * The page completely violated the Project:Manual of style
 * None of the photos have copyright specified and (in lieu of the text copyright violations) it is a fair assumption that they are also copyright violations, I just have not has the time yet to test that assumption.

For more info see Project:Community policies, Project:Manual of style

''Side note: I just had another look at that page and it may be that I have not reverted it far enough. Please can you add copyright notices for the images that are still there''
