From CruisersWiki
Welcome to CruisersWiki!
We all look forward to your valued contributions to the Cruising Wiki. Help it grow as a useful, free resource for all cruisers around the world.
Spend a little time reading the help pages (link in L/H menu) and the Style Guide to gain a better understanding of the Wiki formatting and how to edit articles. Please add what you can - even correcting grammar and spelling errors in articles is a great help. The more you use the Wiki the easier (and more addictive) it becomes.
Use any page's "Discussion" tab (top of page's menu) to ask any questions or make any suggestions about that particular page.
Please set your personal preferences in "My Preferences" (link at top R/H of page when logged in).
Also, please read the Cruiserswiki Copyrights notice, as well as the General Disclaimers (links at bottom of pages).
Again, welcome and have fun! Bring out that hidden "Cruising Guide writer" in you. Istioploos 09:46, 19 May 2012 (BST)
Some Editorial Comments
I am very pleased that you have been active since you haver joined our group. I would like to offer some suggestions on how to become more effective. For this I will use as an example your recent editing of Paros:
- There is no need to insert blank lines following a title i.e. ====Parikia==== and many other places where you have introduced them
- I have restored in Parikia as well as elsewhere the images that you have edited and removed titles and links to chartlets and photo galleries. These you should leave alone and if anything enhance
- The use of <br /> instead of simple <br> is the recommended practice of the current html standards. Please leave them alone and where possible follow the standard
- You have correctly added your name and flag under Last Visited & Details Checked (and updated here) but
- The wikimedia works with just an & and there is no reason to replace it with &"amp;". Further this may cause difficulties to to other pages that refer to it via a link
- After adding your name please add an extra line starting with an * to encourage future contributors to also add their name
- Please limit your editing to adding new information
- Finally if you add new information, please enter your name in the list of contributors under ==Personal Notes==
For more details please refer to the Wiki Editors Guide and the Style Guide. If you need any assistance and are not sure please do not hesitate to contact me at my discussion page under Istioploos.
