User talk:DoggoBirdCat

Hello, DoggoBirdCat! 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.

Thanks for all of your work on articles about places in Australia!

All the best,

Laundry lists
Hi again. When you add names of hotels to "Sleep" sections, please use listing templates and include information other than mere names, which are useless without doing a web search. The whole point of this guide is to make further web searching unnecessary, and mere names of hotels and such are routinely deleted.

All the best,

Hey Ikan,

I'm not 100% sure how to reply. Thank you for your help though. Sorry for not adding the listing properly.

Best regards

 * No problem. This site needs more users, and all of us go through a learning curve at the beginning. If you have any thoughts on how to make this site more user-friendly for first-time users, please let us know. Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:37, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

Default address info
Hi, and please reply, so we can have a conversation.

I appreciate your continuing edits, and please keep them coming. Be aware that on this site, addresses normally omit the default (e.g., the city an article is about, its state or the abbreviation for it, the name of the country), and with some exceptions (such as the UK), postcodes, too.

Car rentals
Why mention only two car rental agencies in edits like this? That feels like touting. Also, per What not to link to, price comparison sites cannot be listed or linked to, so if you want to mention them, I think you need a consensus, and probably only at the national level (or if some of them are only active in one state, the state level).

 * You aren't being employed by Sixt or another car rental agency, are you? Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:59, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

Touting warning
Hello, DoggoBirdCat! Thank you for contributing to Wikivoyage, but please note that one or more of your recent edits has been reverted as it appeared to be an attempt to use this site to advertise or promote a business or service. Wikivoyage is created by travellers for travellers, and while business owners and employees are welcome to contribute, use of this site for promotional purposes is not allowed.

If you feel that your edits were incorrectly identified as promotional, please read Wikivoyage's guidelines on identifying promotional edits. If, after reading that guideline, you still feel your edits were incorrectly removed, please use this talk page or the talk page of the article where your edit was removed to explain why your change was not promotional. Note that it is very important that you discuss your proposed change before re-adding it since repeated promotional edits can lead to a temporary block of your account's ability to edit Wikivoyage, and in serious cases the business in question may be blacklisted from Wikivoyage.

User:Ground Zero and I have spent some precious time deleting your efforts to promote Sixt and sometimes some other car rental agencies. Stop it now. Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:06, 7 September 2022 (UTC)


 * You've been blocked for an initial period of 3 days. Please stop adding links to specific car rental agencies in articles for big cities like Sydney. Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:13, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
