Hello Nomadic.guevarra! 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!

Thanks a lot for your edits so far!

One Wikivoyage policy that's already come up is external links. Consolidators or price comparison sites normally aren't linkable on this site, and competing guides such as Tripadvisor definitely can't be linked. I mention this not as anything personal; this is the result of consensus that developed over a period of years. If you'd like to discuss Wikivoyage's policy toward different types of external links, you're always welcome to do so at Wikivoyage talk:External links and see if you could get a new consensus behind your ideas.

Meanwhile, don't worry too much if some of your work is reverted early on, and please continue to share your knowledge with other travelers!

All the best,

Yes, I am starting to learn the differences as compared to the main Wikipedia site. Many Thanks! Nomadic.guevarra (talk) 06:26, 15 August 2016 (UTC)


 * You're very welcome! Also, please have a look at welcome, tourism professionals and don't tout, in case they are relevant to an edit like this one. Places can be touted to a degree, but in sections like the lede and "Understand", not listings, and not quite that breathlessly. Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:19, 15 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Okay! Still learning the ropes here. Technology is taking its toll on me, I guess. Nomadic.guevarra (talk) 08:00, 15 August 2016 (UTC)


 * No problem. Keep going! We'll keep working with you. Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:22, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
