User talk:199.19.248.50

Hello, 199.19.248.50! 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 Help, or post a message in the travellers' pub.

By the way, have you considered creating an account here? While you can absolutely keep contributing as an anonymous user, it promises a bunch of benefits, and no obligations.

Also, please have a look at Be fair. Wikivoyage takes absolutely no position on partisan disputes; instead, all information presented on these pages is meant to serve the traveler. That means that in the North Korea article, potential visitors are told that:

''Most, if not all, tour groups to the DPRK are asked to solemnly bow and lay flowers on one or two occasions in front of statues of Kim Il Sung when visiting monuments of national importance. If you're not prepared to do this, do not even try to enter North Korea.''

That doesn't mean that most volunteer editors on this site advocate for these things to be true, merely that travelers are being duly informed about facts.

Another example is that Wikivoyage recognizes the fact that Crimea is a part of Russia. Some of us have strong feelings about this, but we do not let that affect how we edit this travel guide.

All of this is to say that you are really unlikely to succeed in erasing the statement that non-white people are more likely to be harassed or subjected to violence by the police in the U.S. than white people, and making polemical statements about it will not sit well. I have reverted your edit. I would suggest that if you have any statistical evidence that the statement you don't like is untrue, that you should present it at Talk:United States of America and, given that this site, as a Wiki, works by consensus, that you try to achieve a consensus in support of your position.
