User talk:SHB2000/Wikivoyage is not an encyclopedia

User:SHB2000, would you like other people to try any copy edits, or would you prefer for us to wait? Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:05, 17 December 2021 (UTC)


 * @Ikan Kekek Please feel free to do some copyediting. It would be greatly appreciated. I don't mind anyone editing in my userspace. SHB2000 (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta.wikimedia) 10:10, 17 December 2021 (UTC)


 * OK, cool. Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:14, 17 December 2021 (UTC)

Title. Feel free to edit the page. I don't mind anyone editing my userpage. -- SHB2000 (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta.wikimedia) 10:19, 17 December 2021 (UTC)


 * I'd suggest keeping it in userspace for now. I'm not sure we need another policy about this. Most of the key points are already covered by pages like ttcf and Goals and non-goals, and I'm wary of unnecessary proliferation of policy pages. If there are essential non-obvious points missing from Goals and non-goals, maybe we can add a bullet point or two there. —Granger (talk · contribs) 13:05, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
 * It also overlaps a little with Welcome, Wikipedians. The welcome page has a more complete description of differences between Wikipedia and Wikivoyage (e.g., no references, lively writing style, fewer links, fewer templates...). WhatamIdoing (talk) 19:57, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I suppose that merging some of this content with Welcome, Wikipedians would make most sense. Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:34, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
 * But I don't think the districts section should go there though. Plus, it was never intended for Wikipedians. SHB2000 (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta.wikimedia) 02:01, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
 * This is kind of in the spirit of Wikipedia:Essays, I.e., a useful commentary on policy, rather than a policy. I don't think we've ever brought over the concept of essays though. Maybe it is time to do that so that Wikivoyage would have a place for something like this. Ground Zero (talk) 02:18, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Maybe we should use this one as a trial. I know meta does these things too. The only kinds of essays I'd be opposed to are the ones like w:Wikipedia:Assume bad faith, which is nothing more than a humorous joke. SHB2000 (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta.wikimedia) 02:57, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Your districts paragraph is redundant to Geographical hierarchy, the last bullet point in The traveller comes first, and already mentioned in Welcome, Wikipedians. WhatamIdoing (talk) 17:30, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
