User talk:Hydriz

Hello, Hydriz !


Now that you've got your user page and space all hunky-dory, it's time for you to edit some articles here and welcome to Wikivoyage, Hydriz !

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 notes &rarr; Article status notes

It may also be very useful for you to check out Welcome, Wikipedians.

However, even more important than following every guideline is to PLUNGE FORWARD and write something useful – someone might be along to help with the proper formatting later if we're both lucky...

Add your home town, or a place you know well or write some insider tips - but please don't use first person pronouns or a stilted, dry or too encyclopaedic tone.

It was terrific that you created your own user account on Wikivoyage because it'll now provide you with various benefits:


 * 1) easier communication with other writers about your edits and travel tips via this, your very own User Talk page, even if your future visits are from another IP. Don't forget to log in, though!
 * 2) your choice of thumbnail image display size by setting the default size they will display at (in your user Preferences)
 * 3) gain kudos for your contributions, which will now all be attributed to you rather than just an IP address - as long as you remember to log in!
 * 4) your contributions will become more trusted as you become familiar to other Wikivoyagers as a frequent editor with a history they can check
 * 5) you'll not need to pass a recaptcha test each time you add an external link
 * 6) protect your privacy — your IP address will still be displayed in the history of articles if you have not remembered to log in to your registered account, but logging in will allow you to maintain your privacy behind an alias
 * 7) your very own watchlist — a list of pages for which you want to keep track of future changes
 * 8) become a Project:Docent — if you know a destination well and would like to share your knowledge
 * 9) Preferences menu — customize your Wikivoyage experience.

If you need help, check out Help, or post a message in the travellers' pub. We're looking forward to seeing you again and again here on Wikivoyage now you're a registered user! --118.93nzp (talk) 05:11, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
