Hello JML1148! 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 travellers' pub or on my talk page. Thanks for contributing!
Thank you for your additions to Mount Buller!

Mount Buller
[edit]I just had a full read of it and all I've got to say is it's super comprehensive and detailed. As a fellow Australian who loves venturing out into the snow (in Thredbo or Perisher), this is exactly what Wikivoyage needs. Keep up the great work and happy skiing. :-) --SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta) 07:05, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you! I was surprised at the lack of detail the guide had and wanted to improve it, hope to bring it to Star status in the future. JML1148 (talk) 07:23, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
- Oops, I don't know what I was doing when I said Melbourne was to the southeast! JML1148 (talk) 07:30, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
- Not a problem. I've made quite a lot of similar (and often obscure) errors before. SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta) 07:40, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
Featuring Mount Buller
[edit]Do you think the article should be nominated for off the beaten path? It's looking very Main Page-worthy, but I don't know the area well, so wanted to get another opinion before nominating. --SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta) 09:12, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
- @SHB2000: I think off the beaten path would be a good fit for Mount Buller. Ideally, we'd get the August timeslot (peak season), however it appears Longyearben has already been confirmed for that, so perhaps January or February 2024 would work (peak season for North American ski resorts). My main concerns are that the Understand section is too short and that the summer season is somewhat neglected, which I will work on soon. Coincidentally I'm heading up to Buller in a few days, so give me a couple weeks to fix those issues. JML1148 (talk) 09:57, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
- Ideally, it would be featured sometime next winter during peak ski reason, but the timings can always be figured out closer to when it's featured. The only article from the Australian Alps that was ever featured was Mount Kosciuszko summit trails (featured in March). Anyway, it will several months before it's featured, so there's no hurry :-).

- Either way, enjoy your time up in the snow! SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta) 10:19, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
