Sources required?
[edit]I am new to Wikivoyage and used to Wikipedia. Do you need to site sources or are first hand accounts fine?

- No to the first and yes to the second. Please have a look at Wikivoyage:Welcome, Wikipedians, which is likely to answer more questions you might have, and welcome! Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:13, 11 September 2025 (UTC)
- @Oak lod, you might also find it helpful to look at some of the Star articles.
- It depends a little on what you mean by a first-hand account. We do want recommendations based on experience (see this, do that, eat here, parking is difficult, so take the bus...). We don't want personal blogs ("On Monday, I went to Bigcity. Here's a picture of me at the museum!"). WhatamIdoing (talk) 22:19, 11 September 2025 (UTC)
- The first example is what I meant by first hand accounts. Thank you for confirming. Oak lod (talk) 22:42, 11 September 2025 (UTC)
- @Oak lod, it looks like you've done a good job at Pinecrest. I fixed a few typos. The banner image is a good one but needs to be cropped. (My main method for doing this over the years has been to leave a note at Wikivoyage:Banner suggestions.) WhatamIdoing (talk) 23:01, 11 September 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you. I will get to cropping the image. Oak lod (talk) 01:30, 12 September 2025 (UTC)
- Just finished cropping it. Oak lod (talk) 02:46, 12 September 2025 (UTC)
- @Oak lod, I just checked in. The page is looking pretty nice.
- I added a pair of listings with the latitude and longitude, and a "marker" for Strawberry Dam. I put in a dynamic map that will link all the places that have lat/long numbers. If you add the locations, it'll auto-adjust to show them all. (It can also be adjusted by hand, e.g., if there's nothing to add on the east side of the lake, or if we decide not to show the hotel in the next town.)
