Wikitravel:Requests for comment

From Wikitravel

Contents

• Policy
• Style
• Articles
• Others

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.

[edit] Policy

There is an incipient discussion of a possible vandalism policy, currently on Wikitravel talk:Community policies. If and when a draft policy is written, the discussion should move to its talk page, probably, but we'll cross that bridge when they build it. This is presently on this English-language page rather than Shared, but could be moved to Shared if other language versions are having the same vandalism problems that we are; I simply don't know. -- Bill-on-the-Hill 12:11, 19 October 2007 (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)

Should all images without license tags be deleted, even though Special:Upload specified that they use the CC by-sa 1.0 license? Discussion at Wikitravel:Votes_for_deletion#Image:Asia_2006_156.jpg. Jpatokal 12:22, 5 February 2008 (EST)

Should all images using CC by-sa >1.0 licenses be deleted? Discussion at Wikitravel_talk:Votes_for_deletion#CC_by-sa_not-1.0_images. Jpatokal 12:22, 5 February 2008 (EST)

Does the Copyright details article serve any purpose? Or should it just be merged with Wikitravel:Why Wikitravel isn't GFDL? --Peter ^Talk 17:06, 24 February 2008 (EST)

How much info on nearby attractions do we want for hotels, and should we ask [owners] to provide lat-long geodata instead? Wikitravel talk:Accommodation listings#nearest attractions. --DenisYurkin 13:14, 27 February 2008 (EST)

[edit] Style

Price ranges in restaurant listings How should we define "price range" for restaurants, and what exactly should be considered a typical meal? --DenisYurkin 17:24, 20 October 2007 (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)

[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:New York (state)#Regions again — I'd appreciate it if anyone familiar with New York state would take a quick look at the draft regions map I've put up. --Peter ^Talk 13:49, 6 March 2008 (EST)

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)

[edit] Others

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)
