Porvenir, Chile

Hi Danilo

Your first attempt to add a page for Porvenir, Chile was very good. But there were a number of problems with it.

1. The most important was that there is already a Porvenir page for a port in Panama, so I think that you went around this by naming the new page PORVENIR. By convention we do not capitalize page names but in case of conflict, like this, we add the country. I did so by using "move".
2. You omitted the navigation bar which I added although I was not completely sure that the port is in Chile.
3. You omitted several items of information. Even if you do not have the info, other cruisers may add them.
4. Finally I added a reference to the Wikipedia entry for Porvenir.

Please do not hesitate to contact me for any questions or help. --Istioploos 20:34, 10 June 2015 (BST)

Hi again,

Most of your changes and additions are very good. 3 comments:

1. I recently started using started {{Image right|file |comment }} instead of [[Image: file|size| comment]] because it is simpler and automatically lines up the image with the information box at the top of the page. As an extra the use of the "{{" , which is a template, allows us to be able in the future to change image sizes across the wiki and not have to edit individual pages.
2. I noticed that you have replaced file "Porvenir-PN.jpg‎" with "Porvenir-PN-new.jpg". If the older file is not needed any more it is good practice to delete it thus saving space.
3. Finally I restored the request for data under ==Routes/Passages To/From== because there is still no data. This is flag to future editors to provide this data, when available.
