User talk:JoannaJames

Hello, JoannaJames! 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 for some guidelines that may be relevant to you. Also note that if you are a paid hotel marketer, you cannot list hotels at all.

Let me know if you have any questions. Your listing in the Nizwa article is not bad at all, except that "directions" are the specific directions to the hotel, not the directions from Muscat Airport to the entire city, so that will be deleted.

All the best,

 * Hi JoannaJames, I'd also like to welcome and thank you for your edit to Nizwa. I've moved your listing to the Hajar Mountains; if you know the area well any contributions you make will be greatly appreciated! –StellarD (talk) 10:40, 26 January 2017 (UTC)

Listings
Hi, JoannaJames. I very much appreciate your efforts to stay within the confines of the don't tout policy. However, this listing has some problems I'd like you to be aware of and try to avoid. Let's look at the description ("content"):

141 luxury rooms, suites and pool villas, Equipped with Yoga and meditation pavilion , Kids and teens’ centre, Gym ,Library & Water Sports center.

1. "Luxury" is listed in words to avoid because it isn't any more than extremely generally descriptive. In what way are the rooms luxurious? Best to avoid the word "luxury" and just describe.

2. Why are you putting a space before your commas? Please don't.

3. Why are you capitalizing so many words? It looks to me like not a single word in the description should be capitalized.

I'm going to revert this edit and ask you to please redo the listing in a better way.

All the best,

Tour listing policy
Please read WV:Tour, which prohibits this kind of listing. Thanks. Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:06, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

Things to do in Wadduwa
Hello and thanks for starting an article about this village and immediately adding a basic overview in "Understand". Do keep in mind, though, that when you insert text like this — " If you want a spell away from the sand, you’ll find enough distractions to keep you occupied here." — it immediately gives rise to a question: "What?" If you know the village, it would help if you would enumerate interesting things to do in the "Do" section. Maybe you planned to come back to the article later and do this, anyway. While you're at it, please have a look at the edits I made. Of course, I don't know this village, so I depended on you to helpfully start the article and add information; my edits are in keeping with the guidelines at Welcome, tourism professionals and, to some extent, Words to avoid. Have a look at those links when you have a spare moment.

All the best,

 * Hi Ikan, Sorry for the late reply . Yes you're correct. I'll add a few things to do in Wadduwa. Thanks so much for the guidelines and instructions Joanna
