From Wikitravel

This page is for requests of additional feedback on difficulties and disputes in Wikitravel, including both policy/style pages as well as actual article content.

Add links to disputed articles below in the appropriate section. Please don't start up conversations here; the point of this page is to direct Wikitravellers' attention to a discussion going on elsewhere. Please sign and date your request.

Requests pointing to discussions that have gone dormant for over two months will be removed from this page. Otherwise, the original contributor may remove his/her request when satisfied. (Please remember to do this, in order to keep the page clean!)

[edit] Policy

• shared:Talk:Advertising_policy#Display_ads - IB is trying to add picture and animated ads to the site, without even discussing first, despite assuring us in the past that this would not happen... Am I the only one that sees this as shady? – cacahuate ^talk 16:55, 2 August 2008 (EDT)

• Other Wikis are using CC-by-SA 2.0 or 3.0 licenses. Is this compatible with our 1.0? If not, can we fix that? Discussion at shared:Tech:License upgrade. Pashley 08:05, 23 December 2007 (EST)

I'm renewing this rfc, despite it's having gone dead, just since it's an important discussion and people should be able to find it easily. --Peter ^Talk 05:08, 4 June 2008 (EDT)

• shared:MediaWiki talk:Copyright - I'm proposing changing the copyright notice at the bottom of each page to something more accurate – cacahuate ^talk 22:32, 21 June 2008 (EDT)

• Is a link to a scan of a primary source still a primary source? See Wikitravel talk:External links#Link to scanned flyer with Viennese train schedule?. -- Colin 15:24, 9 July 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Style

• Talk:Advertising policy — an important discussion dedicated to drafting a policy for ads on Wikitravel that everyone should be aware of and take part in. Peter ^Talk 17:57, 10 January 2008 (EST)
• Wikitravel:Manual of style for the US — please discuss a set of formatting standards specific to the United States. -- Colin 23:45, 14 June 2008 (EDT)
• Talk:Poland#Other destinations list is l o n g — my question here is bigger than the issue on the Poland article. I'd like to have a good way to clean up overly long "other destinations" lists that have been taken over by comprehensive lists by category (like national parks, state parks, UNESCO sites, etc) by moving them out into individual travel topics. Comments would be much appreciated! --Peter ^Talk 19:35, 2 August 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Articles

• Talk:Barcelona#districts proposal -- finding a right set of districts to split the city into, and defining clear borders for each of the districts. --DenisYurkin 16:21, 19 October 2007 (EDT)

• Talk:Pennsylvania#Region breakdown — the current PA hierarchy is an overlapping mess, and I've drafted another regions map. I'm basically just waiting for anyone who knows the state at all to tell me it's OK before I make it live. --Peter ^Talk 13:49, 6 March 2008 (EST)

• Talk:Texas. Subdivision of the 5 Texas macroregions. I don't want an edit war. Texugo 12:24, 7 April 2008 (EDT)

• Talk:Greece I put some proposals regarding Greek regions and ferry schedules on the Greece talk page. Sailsetter 16:09, 13 April 2008 (EDT)

• Amphoe. Regards intra-article micro-subdivision of provinces into administrative amphoe rather than just cities.

• Talk:Morocco#Regions – I've proposed a region breakdown with a map, if you're familiar with Morocco, please comment! – cacahuate ^talk 23:21, 30 June 2008 (EDT)

• Talk:Boston#DISTRICTS (again) A large touristic city long overdue for districting. I finally want to try to tackle this. Seeking input. --OldPine 14:24, 27 July 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Attacking the Tech backlog

• shared:Top bugs — I'm not sure that everyone realizes that this article exists, but it is a very important one and more contributions would be very welcome. --Peter ^Talk 16:47, 17 January 2008 (EST)

• shared:Roadmap#Nominations — Analogous to the top bugs, where we can vote for our preferred prioritization of feature requests. So show up and vote! If the process is confusing, hanging chads, etc., talk to me. --Peter ^Talk 13:50, 20 March 2008 (EDT)
