"Eat" and "Buy" listings

[edit]

Thank you for your constributions to Springfield (Virginia)!

In general, at Wikivoyage we try to avoid listing national chain restaurants like Subway, Outback Steakhouse etc. under "Eat". Nor do we generally list chain stores like RiteAid and FYE under "Buy".

Springfield is a big enough city that it probably has lots of unique local businesses. You can go to Subway or RiteAid anywhere in the world, but what can you eat, buy, do, etc. in Springfield that you can't anywhere else? That's the mindset we try to encourage among our contributors.

Anyway, don't let this notice distract you from the great work you've done so far. If you have any questions about how to proceed, feel free to leave a message on my talk page or that of any of our other administrators. The Travellers' Pub is also a good place to bring yourself up to speed on the ins and outs of Wikivoyage.
