Wikitravel:Requests for comment

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

• Wikitravel talk:Fellow Traveller Expedition#An Open Invitation for Extlinks. Does this wikitravel page reflect today's reality? What is this page for? -- Colin 23:58, 1 June 2009 (EDT)

• Wikitravel_talk:Article_templates#Respect_sections - a proposal to move "respect" to a subsection of "understand," and to rename it "customs." --Peter ^Talk 03:12, 8 May 2009 (EDT)

• Wikitravel_talk:How_to_handle_unwanted_edits#Range_blocks - Should we enable this tool? (Regardless of how we decide to govern it with policy.)

• Wikitravel_talk:User_page_help#Policing_user_space - Suggest drawing a line between contributing & non-contributing users. The lack of comments here is surprising, given how much discussion this topic has otherwise drawn recently. --Peter ^Talk 14:45, 26 April 2009 (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)

• 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_talk:Big_city_article_template#Learn and Work - building consensus for what should be contained within the Learn section of an article. Is this section a list of universities in the area, a list of short courses a traveller can take, or something else? --Inas 18:40, 22 March 2009 (EDT)

• Wikitravel talk:Sock puppets - a proposal for a new policy, as of yet very limited in scope. --Peter ^Talk 01:02, 31 March 2009 (EDT)

[edit] Articles

• Rail_travel_in_India - Article was marked for merge in December 2006, discussion ended without a decision in October 2008. Just thinking it might be time to decide the fate of this article once and for all, so have started talk section at Talk:Rail_travel_in_India#Decision_time.3F Nrms 05:34, 2 May 2009 (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)
