Why do we have both Wikivoyage and Wikitravel? Look at the entry in both for the Cinque Terre, the information isn't matched [that in the Wtravel is much better - I know because I contributed to it!) Could we not have one or the other, I don't see how they are separately needed.

 * Why do we need both Microsoft and Apple? Could we not just close one of them? :-)
 * There may be many reasons why Wikivoyage was created. But one of the reasons could be that Wikitravel is owned by Internet Brands, Inc. (a commercial compagny) and Wikivoyage is now operated by Wikimedia Foundation (a non-profit charitable organization). Some users prefer to write for a charitable organization instead of a commercial compagny. --MGA73 (talk) 16:35, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for this, MGA73: because the pages looked the same I assumed they were from the same source. I don't understand how my account in Wikipedia works for Wikitravel, if they are separate. Curiously, I've had to create an account in Wikivoyage to make this response, though I didn't have to yesterday.
