Wikivoyage talk:Organising events Voyage Tips and guide

Contents

I think we should focus on advice rather than procedure. We cannot prevent events that break our rules, and we shouldn't discourage spontaneous events. A couple of friends gathering to get Denmark up to usable status shouldn't need to be advertised weeks beforehand, while WMF planning a competition for getting better coverage of India should involve us in an early phase, probably more than half a year before the editing starts.

I wrote the first part of an alternative approach, including some from the existing content.

Your version is much better than mine, to be honest. //shb (t | c | m) 11:47, 22 February 2025 (UTC)Reply

I think we should ask organisers to declare any commercial support for their event. This includes support from tourist offices etc, and could be in the form of prizes or providing free venues for in person events. Generally this is unlikely to be an issue, but I would not be pleased if a restaurant chain offered a free meal for every listing added. AlasdairW (talk) 23:00, 26 February 2025 (UTC)Reply

Feel free to add it to the list, I'd say. //shb (t | c | m) 23:36, 26 February 2025 (UTC)Reply
