Copyvios, political edits, etc.
I just reverted a major copyright violation from a clearly copyrighted site that you added to the Russia page. That is a violation of the policies of this site (which you violate often) and is also illegal.

This is hardly the first unwanted edit to come from your ip. I've watched, over the past year, you make countless edits to destinations in Eastern Europe and the Former Soviet Union that were rarely, if ever, in pursuit of the goals of this site. You still haven't stopped adding pointless links to the Serbo-Croatian disambiguation page, despite my bringing this up in countless edit summaries and on several talk pages. Like I've said elsewhere, the relationship between these languages/dialects (I don't care which they are) is an academic issue that should be addressed in, say, an encyclopedia, but not in a travel guide.

That doesn't even begin to address the endless stream of pointless edits you've made in pursuit of some political point of extremely low importance to a travel guide. These edits usually interrupt the prose of the articles into which you insert them, they rarely conform to the manual of style, and almost always constitute a degradation of our travel guides. Never, have I ever seen a positive edit from your ip that contributed new, un-opinionated information on where to go, what to see, what dishes to try, etc. Just the same repetitive, unwelcome blather and policy violations.

I would suggest that your goals are not in line with those of this site, indeed your goals seem at odds with them. Please take some time to read over the policies that outline Wikivoyages fundamental goals&mdash;those of creating the best, most up to date world-wide travel guide that there ever was&mdash;and seriously consider whether you should continue contributing here. Above all, please just stop wasting the time of those who are working towards Wikivoyage's goals. Personally, I'll be wasting less time going over your edits and trying to make them right, and will be more inclined to revert your edits without wasting more of my time writing edit summaries that you ignore. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 04:23, 22 January 2008 (EST)
