User talk:Elisabeth Jenkins

Hello Elisabeth Jenkins! 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 are a Wikipedian then you may notice some differences in policies and the style of our articles. These include:
 * NPOV &rarr; be fair (not quite the same thing!)
 * be bold &rarr; plunge forward
 * Village pump &rarr; travellers' pub
 * External links &rarr; We do not use a separate external links section, but incorporate primary links only into the text itself.
 * sandbox &rarr; graffiti wall
 * stub tagging &rarr; Article status

It may also be very useful for you to check out Welcome, Wikipedians. If you need help, take a look at Help, or else post a message in the travellers' pub or on my talk page. Thanks for contributing!

Also, please have a look at Copyleft, because it looks like you copy-pasted text directly from Wikipedia without even deleting the footnote numbers, and that's a no-no. Look at Don't tout, too, in case that's relevant to you as per this edit.

After you've read the links I've given you, if you have any questions, please post them below.

All the best,

Please stop plagiarizing
I now need to address this a second time: No user may copy and paste text verbatim from any Wikipedia article without crediting the article, but because of the differences in goals and style between a travel guide and an encyclopedia, it's just plain not OK to do that even if you give your source credit. Summarize and paraphrase. Don't try to give exact population figures, and please be aware that links in Wikipedia articles mostly won't transfer here, because we don't have articles about most of the non-travel-related topics Wikipedia covers. Do you have any questions? Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:38, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
