User talk:Enjoyyourbicycle

Hello, Enjoyyourbicycle! 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.

Also, please have a look at welcome, business owners and don't tout. Your edits are appreciated, but do please note that this site's policies against touting do not allow any business to be listed more than once on this site. Since the hotel you are listing is in Abusir, that is the most appropriate place for its listing to be.

Please let me know if you have any questions the links I gave you didn't fully explain.

All the best,

hi,

I'm no hotel owner but longtime traveller with the bicycle travelling for 9 month in Middle East and Africa searching a new hotel for every leg. In total I will spend nearly 6.000 € for accommodation. I find my accommodations via web. One source is Wikivoyage. Many information about hotels in Egypt is outdated and desinforming travellers as well as on the compettng websites. Other information is missing. The operating hotel I amended is the closest to the Sakkara sites and it has also a different rural setting as the hustlebustle hotels in Giza and Cairo. So this has been also a travel hint for users to find different places for accommodation. It is bad advice and poor service to leave the user without any information for nearby accommodation in the article for Saqqara and Dhashur. In the german version the posessor of the articles left links.

I do not do edit wars. I'm a real existing person. My name is Rainer Jehl and when I'm not on tour I'm living in the german tourist town of Baden-Baden.

Deleting this is not appreciated.


 * I am sorry that your contribution was reverted, however, there is a reason that we usually only list hotels in the city or district they are physically located in. Otherwise touts or spammers would spam them all over our articles and we would have little recourse to stop them. If there is indeed no accommodation at a place, it does not meet our criteria for what does and does not get an article, however, sometimes exceptions to this rule have to be made, but they are rare and usually concern district articles of cities that otherwise do have accommodation. I am not quite sure what "the possessor of the article" is supposed to mean. Oh and another thing, please sign contributions to talk pages with the "~" symbol four times in a row, like this: ~ . At any rate, I am glad that you are talking to us and I hope we can find a mutually agreeable solution. Hobbitschuster (talk) 22:22, 14 December 2016 (UTC)


 * It's probably simplest to post that there is accommodation in nearby Saqqara, with a Wikivoyage link to the article about that village and no repetition of the hotel's name. I should add that I definitely appreciate the impulse to share information - that's what this site is all about! Enjoyyourbicycle, I'm sorry if the suggestion that you are in the hotel business insulted you; there's nothing wrong with being a hotelier, but in any case, the guidelines on the don't tout page apply to all, regardless of your good intentions.


 * All the best,
