Hello, Pinsi! 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 need help, check out Help, or post a message in the travellers' pub. If you are familiar with Wikipedia, take a look over some of the differences here.

Hello, Pashley! Thanks for welcoming me! I'll check the links you sent me.
Contribution Survey of WikiTravel and WikiVoyage
[edit]Dear Pinsi,
Hello. I am a dedicated Wikipedian and a regular contributor to many other projects of Wikimedia. In addition to this, I also study the contributors and their contributions. In this connection, I have authored the following blogs studying different projects of Wikimedia Foundation :
- Wikipedia for Schools Project (posted on Wikimedia Foundation blog)
- Samskrita Bharati and Sanskrit Wikipedia: The journey ahead (posted on Wikimedia Foundation blog)
- A Focused Approach for Maithili Wikipedia (posted on Wikimedia Foundation blog)
- Two Shades of Wikipedia in Punjabi (posted on Wikimedia Foundation blog)
- A Survey of Esperanto Wikipedians (posted on Wikimedia Foundation blog)
- Wikimedia Projects in Urdu: Unleashing the Latent Potential (posted on Wikimedia Foundation blog)
- Hindi Wikipedia - An Encyclopedia Bridging New Bonds of Friendship Across Borders
I have seen the fact that you have created accounts on both Wikivoyage (WMF website) project and WikiTravel (a different entity). I will be glad if you could share your editing experience and observations by answering to the following questions, either here itself, or email me, if you have specified your own email address in the preferences of your WikiVoyage account or post me a message (privately or on my wall) on Facebook with the responses to the questionnaire:

Your account will be renamed
[edit]Hello,
The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.
Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Pinsi. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Pinsi~enwikivoyage that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.
Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation

If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: Special:GlobalRenameRequest. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk)
