Concerns regarding your style
editHi, I just noticed your recent edits to Panaji.:[1]. While I appreciate your desire to improve articles on Wikipedia, I feel that you tend to edit articles in a "tourist-guide" style. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and we use an encyclopedic style. You may want to check out these articles which will guide you on how to write good articles: Wikipedia:Manual of Style. For instance you may want to remove the the Panaji#How to Reach section as it is never used on Wikipedia articles about cities(See Mumbai or New York City). You seem to be interested in travel and tourism. May I suggest that you consider contributing to Wikitravel (just a note: it is not realted to Wikipedia itself.--Deepak D'Souza 13:20, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
Hi Abdaga. I have deleted that 'other attractions' section again from this article. Please note, the content of the article needs to be confined to the article's topic; describing other places, particularly in a tourism-brochure style, is not necessary. Please see What Wikipedia is not, for some guidance on what our articles should be covering, and what content and styles to avoid, and WP:NOTTRAVEL in particular. As the person above notes, if you like providing travel guide information, then you might like to try out wikitravel, they positively encourage that style of writing over there. But it's not usually suitable for wikipedia content. Regards,--cjllw ʘ TALK 06:49, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
- I've removed some more content from Vedanthangal Bird Sanctuary about bus routes and the distance to the airport [2]. Please keep in mind that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a travel guide, and the tone of your additions should probably match the tone of other good articles. Thank you.—C45207 | Talk 10:27, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
Trekking
editPlease don't link to trekking - it's a redirect to trek, which is a disambiguation page. Thanks. 58.8.4.192 (talk) 14:23, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
- You probably want to link to either Backpacking (wilderness) or Hiking. Help:Link describes they syntax for linking in detail, but "I like [[Hiking|trekking]]!" will render as "I like trekking!"—C45207 | Talk 04:20, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
thrillophilia.com
editPlease don't add links to thrillophilia.com - see WP:ELNO - thanks. 58.8.4.192 (talk) 14:23, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
Your tone
editHi, there. I recently edited some content that you added to the Vedanthangal Bird Sanctuary article [3]. I feel that this change is more encyclopedia in tone and reads less like a travel guide. If you write in a more formal tone, your edits are less likely to be removed or edited. I'd recommend trying to emulate the tone of these featured articles:
These articles are similar to those that you have been editing of late, and they are some of the best articles on Wikipedia.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask them here. I'll try my best to answer them. If you need immediate help, start a new section, add the text "{{helpme}}" at the top of the section, and ask your question below. Someone will be by shortly to help you.
Again, thank you.—C45207 | Talk 05:37, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
Please stop
editYou edits are perhaps appropriate for tourist brochures, but not for an encyclopedia. Please stop. You're welcome to discuss this with me here or on my talk page. Dougweller (talk) 14:10, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

{{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. Dougweller (talk) 14:13, 29 July 2009 (UTC)- I am happy to unblock you if you agree to stop linking the commercial site you've been linking, and I'd like to discuss your travel edits. You might be happier editing WikiTravel [4]. Dougweller (talk) 16:01, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
Copyright violations
editI have also discovered that you are copying material from the commercial website you have been adding to articles. This is copyright violation, see WP:Copyvio, and it is vital that you stop this. Now I am going to have to go back to your edits and remove it, which frankly is a pain, even if you did it not realising it was wrong. Again, please stop. Dougweller (talk) 05:10, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
Your confusion of Amboli, Mumbai with Amboli, Sindhudurg
editPlease stop your edits regarding Amboli, Mumbai page. You are heavily confusing it with Amboli, Sindhudurg.

The article Kuringal Gudda has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Non notable hiking trail
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
