[edit] Beiras

Is it possible that Beira Alta, Beira Baixa, & Beira Litoral should be merged into Beiras - and that Beiras doesn't need any sub-regions (for now at least) - ? ~ 203.144.143.4 03:12, 8 January 2008 (EST)

[edit] Calendar of events and festivals

Did you see Talk:Calendar of events and festivals#Specific / Fixed / Movable - dates merger? ~ 203.144.143.6 15:55, 24 January 2008 (EST)

[edit] Image:\\Sterkfontein.jpg

The file name seems to cause problems - maybe it should be uploaded again without the \\ prefix? [1] ~ 203.144.143.4 15:59, 26 January 2008 (EST)

I have no idea who origionally uploaded that one or why it is a problem, but I am planning a vitis to the Strekfontein caves within the next couple of weeks and will get us some new and up to date photos. --Nick 16:09, 26 January 2008 (EST)

Here's the upload: [2]. Have a good trip! ~ 203.144.143.4 16:13, 26 January 2008 (EST)

Only a 30 minute drive. Went past there today from Maropeng, but did not have enough time for a visit. Have not been there in years so it's about time it gets on my Saturday Outings List --Nick 16:27, 26 January 2008 (EST)

[edit] VFD listing

moved to here from User talk:203.144.143.4

Please do not add additional articles under vfd listing you have already created. It makes it very difficult to archive them when doing speedy deletions. Rather list them as new listings at the bottom. --Nick 15:53, 29 January 2008 (EST)

You don't need to archive them, just delete them - see Wikitravel talk:Votes for deletion#Archiving of VFD discussion where the outcome is speedy deletion. ~ 203.144.143.4 16:01, 29 January 2008 (EST)

That's an opinion, not a policy. It may work for Jpatokal, but I'd prefer anything that was once listed on vfd to be archived when deleted. It makes it easier to keep tabs on what is happening, especially when there are large numbers of vfd nominations such as at the current time. --Nick 16:23, 29 January 2008 (EST)

Please add a comment to that effect to the Wikitravel talk:Votes for deletion#Archiving of VFD discussion where the outcome is speedy deletion discussion - and then it'll eventually get nailed down one way or the other, and then the policy can be clarified. ~ 203.144.143.4 16:37, 29 January 2008 (EST)

[edit] alleurohotels

Re your last batch of reverts & speedy deletions - the alleurohotels URL has been added/reverted many times before, and they're ignoring Talk page requests to desist - alleurohotels\.com needs adding to the Blacklist. ~ 203.144.143.4 08:42, 30 January 2008 (EST)

I'll add that and revert the rest of them later...right now I'm first going to play in the traffic on my daily commute home --Nick 08:49, 30 January 2008 (EST)

Here's the full set from that particular spammer:

• airporttransferistanbul\.com
• alleurohotels\.com
• allistanbultours\.com
• bilsentravel\.com
• istanbul\-airport\-service\.com
• istanbulhotels\.org
• istanbultourguides\.com

Why did you remove image? --Nbumbic 06:59, 1 March 2008 (EST)

[edit] Protection

I actually don't know -- usually pages are just protected indefinitely and unprotected when things cool off. Jpatokal 07:41, 18 March 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Hello Nick

How Are You? --Romeoenchanted 03:40, 6 May 2008 (EDT)

[edit] OSM

User:Mark has a DARCS repository of his extensions to the OSM code here: http://wikevent.org/repository/wtp-maps/

And yes, we definitely should pool our resources on this! Jpatokal 09:16, 8 May 2008 (EDT)

Take a look at Wikitravel:How to create a map. Jpatokal 11:12, 9 June 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Rock on!

Just thought it was time for another well deserved pat on the back. WTG --OldPine 14:10, 10 July 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Thank you, Nick!

I've lived in and around Hackettstown practically my whole life. I have traveled some in the past, but right now I'm pretty stationary. My brother is traveling all over South America right now. Last year he went all over Africa and the year before that he did Asia and Australia.

I just was bored tonight and decided to add a whole lot of stuff to where I live right now (Hackettstown).

Who knows, maybe the local businesses will do better because somebody will have seen what I wrote.

I have tinkered on Wikipedia in the past, but this Wikitravel is like a whole new territory.

[edit] Admin nomination

Hey, I just nominated User:LtPowers for sysop status. I'd appreciate it if you would comment here. Thanks! --Peter ^Talk 19:01, 17 August 2008 (EDT)

[edit] why

was that deleted? Travelmeta 13:30, 22 August 2008 (EDT)

Please see Wikitravel:What is an article?, Wikitravel:Don't tout, and shared:Copyleft. --Peter ^Talk 17:02, 22 August 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Template:Regionlist localization

I've been using your template on the Russian version, and have noticed that the entered "regionmaptext" does not display (see ru:Грузия for an example, if you can figure out what's going on through all the Cyrillic). Is there something I forgot to do when localizing it? Another template that I needed to import? --Peter ^Talk 14:28, 6 September 2008 (EDT)

[edit] mosing

Gets me around psych-travelling and learning about places. Really one of the great things about Wikitravel--especially for those like me that are timid travellers. Some really good articles in that area! OldPine 14:17, 7 September 2008 (EDT)
