(EN) I hope that this goes some way to explaining why your edits get reverted. Making passive-aggressive comments in your edit summaries don't make your edits more appreciated either, and only make you look like a vandal. What I want to know of you is whether you have come here to add to a public travel guide for the sake of the reader, or whether you're just here to disrupt this project. If the first is the case, I would urge you to make yourself more familiar with our [[Wikivoyage:Policies|policies]] before making many more edits. I must say though, that your edits to [[The Hague]] have generally been good, so do keep up that kind of editing!

(NL) Ik hoop dat dit redelijk uitlegt waarom je wijzigingen terug zijn gedraaid. Het maken van passief-agressieve opmerkingen in je ''edit summaries'' maken namelijk niet dat je wijzigingen geliefd zijn, en het enige dat je er mee bereikt is dat men je als een vandaal labelt. Wat ik graag zou willen weten is of je hier gekomen bent om een openbare reisgids to maken voor de lezer, of dat je hier bent om roet in het eten te gooien. Als het eerstgenoemde het geval is, raad ik je van harte aan om je in te lezen op onze [[Wikivoyage:Policies|policies]] voordat je meer edits maakt. Ik moet echter toegeven dat je wijzigingen aan [[Den Haag]] over het algemeen goed zijn. Ga vooral door met dat soort wijzingingen!

Your recent edits

Hello DhrGabriel, and welcome to Wikivoyage!

As you without doubt will have noticed, quite a few of your recent edits have been reverted for various reasons. In general, parts of your edits have been good additions, but parts are also seen as disruptive. I am assuming your good faith here and will give you some pointers based on your edits, so your future edits can be more helpful for everyone involved.

  • Edit to Sleep: While the headings are in my opinion good additions, there are some things in here that should not be. The added passage of "If no, you are unlucky!", for example, benefits no-one and does not add value to the article. Instead, it comes across as a rude, rubbing-it-in comment. Similarly, you removed some information about B&B's in Cuba, which no reason was offered for. Lastly, if you're not certain about the rating that an article should have, you can find the criteria here, and before changing them for notable pages such as continents or topics, starting a discussion on the article's talk page instead is a lot more appreciated.
  • Edit to Flying: The edit to the {{Cautionbox}} here is highly questionable at best. The meta call to action of "Now, travellers, go and remove this box right now!" is without saying not additive to the traveller. The quote you edited is also not to stay, since the goal of quotes is to include passages that add to the article, written by notable people, not imaginative generic persons.
  • This edit to Europe doesn't do what it says on the tin. Firstly, this doesn't add a {{mapshape}}, but links to a non-existing article called "Geo" instead (you probably intended to add {{Geo}}). Maps are furthermore not wanted on continent articles, since they do not have listings to display on there. Your edit to the Cautionbox has also been removed since these tend to require discussion on the article's talk page before being put into place.
  • Edit to South America removed a {{Worldimagemap}}, which are clickable static maps, replacing it for an empty mapframe that isn't even displaying South America. Surely I don't need to explain why that's a no-go.

Since I have come here with a question, and I want to be certain that you can understand me, I'll ask you in both English and Dutch. Your answer to me may be in either one of the two languages:
