[edit] Hey Jelse

Where is this abandoned barn located in Sweden? Traveler2006 10:57, 28 March 2006 (EST)

No idea. Who took the photograph? If it's an unknown source, then it's most likely a copyright violation to put it on this site. Jelse 11:09, 28 March 2006 (EST)

It looks nice! Traveler2006 11:10, 28 March 2006 (EST)

Just because a picture 'looks nice' doesn't mean we have copyright on it. I saw that other people already commented on this, so let's stop the discussion here. Jelse 16:42, 28 March 2006 (EST)

[edit] Where this is all heading

Jelse, I'm sorry to hear that you're halting contributions. You've been a very valuable contributor. So, what circumstances would have you keep editing, and what circumstances would have you stop for good? --Evan 17:23, 23 April 2006 (EDT)

It's hard to say. Right now, I don't see a combination of Commercial venture/Ads and community/unbias content that would work for me. But, I'm giving you the benefit of a doubt and I'll be checking back here once in a while to see in what direction this is going. --Jelse 05:40, 24 April 2006 (EDT)

It seems that World66 has already implemented this the advertising and maybe that would be a place to get a good idea. The entire controversy means little to me, because I see the potential even if someone else is making a buck off of my work. It's almost the same thing as working at the restaurant I do work at. I get paid very little so Lone Star can make $6,000 off of my 5 hours of work. I make less than 0.6% of that ($ 7 an hour). The only difference between Wikitravel and working many times harder for $35 is that instead of making about 0.6% I'm making .6% less than I could be. Sapphire 05:42, 24 April 2006 (EDT)

I did check out their site and I didn't like it. I tried the 'Find accomodation' feature and I immediately started thinking 'who is writing this and for which purpose?'. Is it travellers, is it hotels, is it Google? Only the future can tell what will happen here. I don't want to start a discussion about your paycheck but if they make a profit of $6,000, your resturant should perhaps give you a raise. --Jelse 06:00, 24 April 2006 (EDT)
