User talk:69.223.189.24

Hello, 69.223.189.24! 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. If you are familiar with Wikipedia, take a look over some of the differences here.


 * We welcome new contributors, particular those with knowledge of new places. May I suggest you create a user account to help with communication. Also please not that Wikivoyage is not Wikipedia, the aim is not to just list locations but to provide information on what to see and where to stay in a place. Please do not add place names with no content unless you intend to expand in the near future with points of interest. --Traveler100 (talk) 17:06, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

@Traveler100

I understand this is not Wikipedia. I was, in fact, blocked there due to the Sock policy, so then I added official FAA photos of airports to Commons. Now I am trying to use spare time to put what I know about the Iditarod Trail into use. I am listing the towns along the Iditarod Trail to hopefully create an Iditarod Trail page. I live in Ohio but I know a fair amount about Alaska. I do research, if I don't know stuff about a place. Some areas I've created articles for barely have any people, but they are still places to look around. The world has more small towns than large ones, and I put effort into making the best articles I can about a particular place. --69.223.189.24 17:12, 7 March 2015 (UTC) (TZLNCTV)

Also, I know you are talking about Shaktoolik: I do articles in small chunks, not a landslide post at once. —The preceding comment was added by 69.223.189.24 (talk • contribs)

Nomenclature
Thanks for all your work! Just FYI, there is no reason to include "(Alaska)" in the name of any article unless the state's name is required for disambiguation because there is another town with the same or at least a very similar name somewhere else in the world. In the case of all the towns with Inuit or Inuktitut names, that is very unlikely to be the case, so, for example, Unalakleet should simply be covered in the Unalakleet article.

All the best,
