[edit] What happens

In any Google search that gets Wikitravel hits, like this, the sitenotice goes in front of any actual content:

I'd just like to bump this tech request—I personally will not visit sites through google that "hide" the content of the page I am searching for. --Peter 14:48, 20 June 2007 (EDT)

[edit] When it happens

[edit] What should happen

The sitenotice should not be considered the start of the page by Google.

This appears to have been fixed—the "plunge forward" text of the current site notice does not appear in the Google search previews. But it still shows a boilerplate "Open source travel guide to Flagstaff, featuring up-to-date information on attractions, hotels, restaurants, nightlife, travel tips and more." IMO, it would be much better to have an actual preview (first few sentences) of the article in question. Is this something we can change, or is this just how Google handles wikis? --Peter ^Talk 01:24, 21 March 2008 (EDT)

[edit] How to fix it

Dunno. Is there some way to tell Google to ignore text? Jpatokal 12:28, 13 May 2007 (EDT)
