Welcome to CruiserlogWiki! We hope you will contribute much and well. You will probably want to read the help pages. Again, welcome and have fun! Lighthouse 22:58, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

Italy Contributions
Great work on the Italy section Gordon.
Please check coords for Marina del Fezzano

Porto Turistico di Roma (Ostia)
New page "Porto Turistico di Roma (Ostia)" - where does this link back to (in navbar)? I can find "Porto Turistico di Roma" on the "Fiumara Grande" - without "(Ostia)". Or, must the links on the "Fiumara Grande" page be changed to include "(Ostia)"? Lighthouse 07:41, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
Policastro, Italy

Please check the coords.
Taranto
http://www.cruiserswiki.org/wiki/Taranto
Please check coords.
New pages
Hi Gordon. Please check the "Navbar" links at the bottom of NEW pages. Copy the navbar code from the "mother" page and add the new page link at the end of the navbar. Otherwise, the NEW page just sort of floats in space, LOL. Lighthouse 09:21, 5 May 2011 (BST)
Marmara Islands
Hi Gordon. I can see why you changed several port titles on this page. Your changes did add clarity but they played havoc in the links within the page and from other pages. Please if you make title pages in the future investigate all the pages that link to that title and change them as well. I know that this is a lot of work.
Happy New Year Istioploos 11:40, 30 December 2011 (EST)
External Links
Gordon a vandal made a massive edit changing "External Links" as it has always been and is in out templates to "External links" which may cause some broken links. I am reverting the damage. Please do keep an I also. Istioploos
Dugi Otok
Happy New Year Gordon. Great work in Croatia but here you cannot have headers that include a number. Headers are linkable items. No one will link to something "3. U. Krusevica" but may link om "U. Krusevica".
On non-linkable items (non headers) it does not matter. The reason, however, for using headers for anchorages etc. is because they are linkable. This allows for future expansion.
Croatia
Gordon, you are doing a fantastic job on Croatia. If only we had few more wiki contributors like you…
I have been for years trying to convince other cruisers that sharing their experiences is a way of helping each other of the cruising community. I kept notes, first in an old fashioned notebook, and then on the laptop of all the harbors and anchorages that I had visited. Later I put these on DVDs and gave them away with the hope that other people would add their own observations. Very few did so. Then along came Bob (Lighthouse) with his wiki. He convinced to add my notes there.
It was a monumental task that took over a year. Along the way I made many mistakes but Bob gently guided me. By that time his wife, who wrote about their cruising, was very sick and they had stopped cruising. Bob kept on researching places, created new pages, and added some material to the wiki. Then his wife passed away and slowly he phased out. I kept hopping that others will step in and fill his big shoes. I also hoped that more active cruisers, like you, will become more active. Now we do have some, many thanks to you and your encouragement.
It is good to keep up with new wiki additions and to edit each other's contributions as to form (looks and feel) and usability. Maybe my long software development background makes me over sensitive to these issues. But I mostly consider these as minor improvements. Adding new content, as you do, is the most important.
Please keep going.
