Hello, Philandtessie! 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.

Thank you for your edits to Bahía de Kino. Unfortunately, they don't match our manual of style, which you should probably read. Restaurants and hotels should be inserted using a listing template. The icons at the top of the edit window automatically create a template when you click them, so for instance to create a 'sleep' listing, click the bed icon, and a template will appear. You can then fill each section with the relevant info. It's not really surprising you haven't known to do that, since Bahía de Kino is not really our best article by a long shot. Our very best articles can be viewed here, if you're interested!

The other thing is your use of the first person. We don't use the pronouns "I" or "we" in articles, because this is not about us or our experiences (even if our content is ultimately based on our experience), it's about thinking about the traveller's experience.

Sorry if the last thing you want when you're just getting started is a stranger coming along to tell you you're 'doing it wrong', but hopefully it will also help you. Thanks again for your contributions so far, and welcome! Bon (Wiki)voyage, ThunderingTyphoons! (talk) 00:10, 24 November 2017 (UTC)
