Thank you for your interesting contributions to Irish articles and welcome to Wikivoyage, Csxdb !

To help you contribute, we've created a tips for new contributors page, full of helpful links about policies and guidelines and our house style as well as some important information on copyleft and basic stuff like how to edit a page.

However, even more important than following every guideline is to PLUNGE FORWARD and write something useful – someone might be along to help with the proper formatting later if we're both lucky...

Add your home town, or a place you know well or write some insider tips - but please don't use first person pronouns.

It was terrific that you created your own user account on Wikivoyage because it'll now provide you with various benefits:

1. easier communication with other writers about your edits and travel tips via this, your very own User Talk page, even if your future visits are from another IP. Don't forget to log in, though!
2. your choice of thumbnail image display size by setting the default size they will display at (in your user Preferences)
3. gain kudos for your contributions, which will now all be attributed to you rather than just an IP address - as long as you remember to log in!
4. your contributions will become more trusted as you become familiar to other Wikivoyagers as a frequent editor with a history they can check
5. you'll not need to pass a recaptcha test each time you add an external link
6. protect your privacy — your IP address will still be displayed in the history of articles if you have not remembered to log in to your registered account, but logging in will allow you to maintain your privacy behind an alias
7. your very own watchlist — a list of pages for which you want to keep track of future changes
8. become a Project:Docent — if you know a destination well and would like to share your knowledge
9. Preferences menu — customize your Wikivoyage experience.

If you need help, check out Wikivoyage:Help, or post a message in the travellers' pub. We're looking forward to seeing you again and again here on Wikivoyage now you're a registered user! --118.93nzp (talk) 02:16, 1 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and thanks for all your edits!

I do question, however, your use of a non-standard subheading that combines "Eat", "Drink" and "Sleep". I understand, of course, that inns sometimes have all three functions, but I still don't think it's good to combine the very different functions of sleeping with eating and drinking, so I would recommend for you to strongly consider at a minimum using "Eat and Drink" and "Sleep" sections, noting the eating and drinking functions of inns in the "Sleep" section, or if necessary and allowable under this site's don't tout exceptions policy, listing or mentioning such establishments twice.

Please also have a look at this site's external links page. Only primary external links are used, with one specific exception. This means that for listings, or anywhere else in the body of an article, the links need to be to a business's own website or that of a point of interest — not, for example, a reviews site, Tripadvisor, or Wikipedia. Wikipedia links are only to the Wikipedia article for the same subject (the place the Wikivoyage article is about), and they are placed at the very end of the article, such that they appear in the sidebar on the left side of the page. Thanks a lot, and keep up the good work in adding content!

All the best,

Thanks Ikan for your encouragement and helpful comments. Rest assured that I'll follow your guidelines asap (though I'm heading on holiday imminently). Will keep this user talk section up to date as feedback to you (I hope that is useful, if not let me know how best to manage feedback to you). —The preceding comment was added by Csxdb (talk • contribs)

Certainly! I "signed" for you - there's a custom on Wikivoyage of signing posts on talk pages by typing 4 tildes (the ~ key) in a row at the end of each post. Have a great holiday! Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:04, 21 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
