Hello! Welcome to Wikitravel. To help get you started contributing, we've created a tips for new contributors page, full of helpful links about policies and guidelines and style as well as some important information on copyleft and basic stuff like how to edit a page. If you need help, check out Wikitravel:Help, or post a message in the travellers' pub. -- Tyen (talk) 16:59, 10 June 2013 (EDT)

Bonjour Roger, thanks for your welcoming words... I'll try to post on English, French & Dutch pages. I feel like I'll like it very much! --Porteplume (talk) 02:23, 11 June 2013 (EDT)

Hello Viviane! Nice to have you here on Wikitravel! Below are some pages that will help you navigate better on Wikitravel:

• Wiki markup- for formatting the text and images in an article.
• Upload file- you will be asked to create a separate account on Wikitravel Shared which is the central coordination point and shared repository for images and other media for all language versions of Wikitravel.
• Only after uploading pictures to Wikitravel Shared, you can add a picture to the article. I know that it all might sound overwhelming at the moment but we are here to help you so just ask if something is not clear:)

I have also send a message to our French and Dutch admins- Pierre and Astrid that will help you over there. All the best, IBAlex (talk) 14:28, 11 June 2013 (EDT)

Merci Alex!--Porteplume (talk) 15:25, 11 June 2013 (EDT)

Adding pictures to Wikitravel

Hello Porteplume! I will help you with uploading the pictures on Wikitravel. I know it might be a bit overwhelming at the beginning so I will try to explain everything:) We upload pictures to Wikitravel Shared, which is the central coordination point and shared repository for images and other media for all language versions of Wikitravel. Please use this page to upload pictures. You would be asked to create a separate account for Wikitravel Shared. I saw you have already registered an account there, so just log in. After you upload a picture, please add this picture to Wikitravel article. I saw you added a picture to Quiraing article. It looks great! Thank you! Here is the markup for it- we use "thumb" and usually the size 200-400px. If you have some questions, let me know. Warm regards, IBAlex (talk) 16:49, 12 June 2013 (EDT)
