Wikivoyage:Rewriting Expedition

Many of Wikivoyage's articles have content in common with Wikitravel (see Wikivoyage and Wikitravel for information) and Wikipedia (see Cooperating with Wikipedia). This, unfortunately, causes problems with search engine optimization. This expedition aims to rewrite articles to make the content and wording original so our search engine optimization is improved.

Overall goals

 * Improve originality of content on 25 articles ❌

"High priority articles"

 * Choose important articles first (countries, big cities, capital cities, other famous and trending destinations) that have not changed significantly since the fork or have largely been copied from Wikipedia ❌

Background
Copied from Wikivoyage talk:Rewriting Expedition

I think it would be worthwhile tracking changes in search engine results after we update an article. I understand that it can take a few weeks to see changes. Maybe someone who knows how to do this could report the results for today for the articles that have been changed (China, Croatia, Sao Tome and Poland), and check back in in three weeks or so.
