Welcome, and an important question
[edit]Hello Dbludblo! 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!
And now my question: Did you copy and paste this from anywhere? If you did, that would not be OK, and you should read Wikivoyage:Copyleft. I believe it is also too much background in too much detail for a travel guide. Could you please select the details that are most interesting and - such as the Satsuma Students, who are commemorated with a current-day museum - most clearly relevant to travelers?
All the best,

- Hello, first of all, thank you for leaving feedback. I've tried to simplify it, and I'd appreciate it if you could see if it's okay. Dbludblo (talk) 06:51, 26 October 2025 (UTC)
- I will try to have a look tomorrow, after I have some sleep, though I'll be busy, but please reply to my question. Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:35, 26 October 2025 (UTC)
- Okay. It wasn't copied and pasted separately, but it was processed based on the information on the city hall and tourism sites. Dbludblo (talk) 08:32, 26 October 2025 (UTC)
- What do you mean by "processed"? Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:52, 26 October 2025 (UTC)
- There seems to have been an error using a translator. It means that the above materials were edited and modified. Dbludblo (talk) 09:04, 26 October 2025 (UTC)
- OK, that's good. I normally state sources in edit summaries, but summarizing and paraphrasing is OK, within limits. Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:21, 26 October 2025 (UTC)
- I see. Thank you! If I want to mark the source, would it be better to create a separate source space and link it? Dbludblo (talk) 11:03, 2 November 2025 (UTC)
