Welcome and some important questions
[edit]Hello 小太阳888! Welcome to Wikivoyage.
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 are a Wikipedian, then you may notice some differences in policies and the style of our articles. These include:
- NPOV → be fair (not quite the same thing!)
- be bold → plunge forward
- Village pump → travellers' pub
- External links → We do not use a separate external links section, but incorporate primary links only into the text itself.
- sandbox → graffiti wall
- stub tagging → article status
It may also be very useful for you to check out Wikivoyage:Welcome, Wikipedians. If you need help, take a look at Wikivoyage:Help, or else post a message in the Wikivoyage:Travellers' pub, as a reply below or on my talk page. Thanks for contributing!
Can you tell us where you got all this text from? Are you copying and pasting stuff in violation of Wikivoyage:Copyleft? Also, please remember that this is a travel guide, not an encyclopedia, and look at articles in Category:Star articles to get a sense of what style and content we are looking for in ledes (introductions), "Understand" sections and so on. Finally, PLEASE DON'T USE ALL CAP TEXT! The city you're writing about is Ruzhou, not RUZHOU.
After you've read the links I've given you and reread the directions your professor gave you, if you have any questions, please ask them below. Thanks very much.
All the best,

- I've reverted your last series of edits. Please read this edit summary. Have a look at Wikivoyage:Listings and at the "See" section of any bottom-level article (park articles and most city articles, for example) in Category:Star articles or Category:Guide articles, so you can understand what information you need to put in "See" listings.

Tallinn?
[edit]Hi! I notice you just added a listing, named "Fengxue Temple and Tallinn" to the Ruzhou article. I'm a bit curious, is Tallinn related to Estonia's capital somehow? Ypsilon (talk) 17:04, 23 November 2025 (UTC)
- They are not related, this is a famous scenic spot in Ruzhou City, Henan Province, China. 小太阳888 (talk) 17:14, 23 November 2025 (UTC)
- OK, thanks. :) --Ypsilon (talk) 17:24, 23 November 2025 (UTC)
- 'Tallinn' is simply a bad translation. '塔林' should be translated as 'pagoda forest' in this context. The Chinese characters for the Estonian capital are the same, however. STW932 (talk) 23:15, 23 November 2025 (UTC)
- OK, thanks. :) --Ypsilon (talk) 17:24, 23 November 2025 (UTC)
For Ruzhou, can you expand on the attractions that you added? You gave directions to the museums and attractions, but they don't describe what tourists are expected to see there. OhanaUnitedTalk page 05:50, 24 November 2025 (UTC)
- Okay, I will add all the content that can be seen at the scenic spots. 小太阳888 (talk) 06:00, 24 November 2025 (UTC)
- There is also a listing for "3 Best Hotels in Vienna" in the Ruzhou article. What is that supposed to be, actually? Any insight, User:STW932, User:小太阳888? Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:07, 24 November 2025 (UTC)
- It's a hotel belonging to the Vienna Hotel Group, which is based in Shenzhen. The official English name is 'Vienna 3 Best Hotel'. STW932 (talk) 10:27, 24 November 2025 (UTC)

Corrections needed
[edit]In these edits, you ignored the advice provided on your assignment page. It says: "Common error to avoid: you should add an address (street, building number, etc.) to your listing but do not repeat the city name. For example, if your listing is in Ansan, the address does not need to contain the city name." That also means you do not include the province and country name. All of the listings in Ruzhou City, Henan Province are going to be in Ruzhou City, Henan Province, so we do not repeat that information. Please make these corrections.
