User talk:Raftery~enwikivoyage

January 2013
Hello, Raftery! 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. Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes ; this will automatically insert your username and the date. 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.

I saw your comment on Travellers' pub and want to welcome you to Wikivoyage. --FloNight (talk) 18:24, 19 January 2013 (UTC)


 * I think the page you were looking for isn't "travellers' pub" (which is for discussion of the project itself) but Chatham (Massachusetts) (which lists nightlife in that local area). Also, try to avoid vague "Our bar X is the greatest pub in town" generalisation or promotion, instead sticking to basic facts like location, price, contact info, hours of operation and a brief description of what's offered and in which price range. Is this a blaring disco, a British-style pub with fish and chips, a country winery with guided tours? All might fit in "drink" (or not, restaurants are "eat" and tours are "do", but with a huge overlap in categorisation). There is a tag, *  which you can put into the "drink" section of the local city or destination page. The street address can omit the city and state (if they're already in the page name); the telephone number should be written as +1 areacode local-number so that it can be used by travellers calling from outside the US. Also, if there are things to see or do in the area that travellers might like, list those too under the respective sections "see" and "do" as their own listings. Don't just list yourself.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Raftery. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Raftery~enwikivoyage that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:35, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
