Hello, Pjamescowie! Welcome to Wikitravel. Please take a sec to look at our copyleft and policies and guidelines, but feel free to plunge forward and edit some pages. Scanning the Manual of style, especially the article templates, can give you a good idea of how we like articles formatted. If you need help, check out Wikitravel:Help, and if you need some info not on there, post a message in the travellers' pub. You seem to be jumping in with both feet; that's really cool. -- Evan 09:32, 11 Nov 2003 (PST)

Is Strudel's URL right? See Talk:Jerusalem. -phma 11:53, 16 Jun 2004 (EDT)

Some excellent stuff here. May I make a suggestion? Use the comment structure viz.  to comment out the templates so they don't detract from the actual article. --Nzpcmad 15:57, 7 Jul 2004 (EDT)

Hey, great work on the Egypt and the rest! I'm really enjoying your contribution -- good reading and good for trip planning... I look forward to more and hope you don't mind my edits... Majnoona 20:25, 7 Jul 2004 (EDT)

links in listings

Hey, you should probably check out the links in listings page. It looks like we are heading toward a consensus in which we'll have neither fron-linked listings, nor bare URLs at the end, but rather at the end of the contact stuff, after the phone numbers. Have a look. -- Mark 16:11, 12 Sep 2004 (EDT)

Sydney

Would really appreciate your comments on my Proposal for refactoring Sydney -- see Talk:Sydney. Thanks! -- Hypatia 05:20, 8 Oct 2004 (EDT)

Paris

Thanks for all of the good work on Paris. I hope you continue. I'd really like to get Paris in shape for a DOM spot in April or May, (you know, Paris in the spring).. anyhow I really really appreciate your contributions, as I believe do the rest of the community!

I'm going to be back in Paris next weekend by the way, in case there's anything particular you would like to see covered. -- Mark 13:31, 9 Oct 2004 (EDT)

arrondissement overview map

You are absolutely right. This should be a very easy map to knock out, so I'm sorry I haven't done it so far. I'll probably try to get it done this weekend. -- Mark 14:45, 9 Oct 2004 (EDT)

Your critique of the map were right-on. I think the newer draft is better, with La Défence spelled correctly (I think) and the numbers and letters more legible. -- Mark 13:47, 10 Oct 2004 (EDT)

... and now.. with improved spelling -- Mark 17:44, 10 Oct 2004 (EDT)

Germany

Hi there,

I tidied up the German city listing and left only the few major cities as they were found by you. It is always going to be point for controversial discussions where is the cut-off for cities this listing. My personal short list was the one the was edited by you and I kept it to a minimum. My selection criteria where a) major city b) is it worth visiting this city for a broader number of visitors (that would eliminate Hanover) c) how did the city article look like.

Hope we come to an aggreed city listing in the near future.

In need of your feedback about maps

Hi Paul,

I've posted a request for feedback on Wikitravel talk:Mapmaking Expedition, and would specifically like to hear from you since you're also doing a lot of work on Paris, and that's where I'm working out the problem in question. -- Mark 09:39, 8 Dec 2004 (EST)

Links to external sites

Hi,

Thanks for your help with the grammar and spelling fixes on the Goulburn page. I noticed you also made some modifications to some external urls changing them to a [http://....] format. Is this a style I should be following? (The template I was working from Wikitravel:Small_city_article_template#See lists the full url, and other style information I've seen around as well the goals suggested keeping full urls in the articles so that links were useful when printed for. Any pointers or links to other info here would be appreciated. - Arcae 04:38, 3 Feb 2005 (EST)

New Stub Articles

Please don't forget to add those new stub pages to Stubs needing attention. That way we can find them again after they fall off the recent changes list, and do not have to troll through all the new pages looking for them. -- Huttite 16:29, 27 Mar 2005 (EST)
