| |
| − | Three: here's an idea that crossed my mind while checking some of the contributions by less prolific authors yesterday, particularly the one about the advances from the border guard.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Opinion and personal stories should go in the talk pages (where they can and should be signed). '''Articles''' should not contain "I, me, we, or us"; they should be of a similar character to Wikipedia: factual and verifiable. You might like to consider including something of that under [[project:policies]].

| − | :Well, I was thinking of allowing personal stories, if they are seperated well enough. Stories should be interesting though :) but I guess most stories about hitchhiking, told in a concise way, are interesting. It's not easy to "convert" stories into Wikipedia style articles, and I think we can be abit more free here about what to accept.<br>At least, I noticed that there were many additions in I, me, we, us" form in the former wiki. I rewrote the stuff that could easily be rewritten, but sometimes it's not. It's still useful information. And most hitchhikers coming here won't check out the Talk pages...<br>Oh, and by the way, thanks for your work here! It's greatly appreciated! :) [[User:Guaka|Guaka]] 08:41, 29 Dec 2005 (UTC)

| − | ==Name change?==
| |
| − | Maybe it's better to get another name for this wiki. Would do ''you'' think about '''Hitchhike Wiki''' or '''Hitch Wiki'''? It's a bit easer to talk about it that way. Comments please! :) Or other suggestions for names :) [[User:Guaka|Guaka]] 23:48, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

| |
| − | :Hi there, this Wiki is a great idea and could be an excellent resource for hitch-hikers.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | :I agree that the name is a little cumbersome. I would suggest things along the lines of "Practical Hitchhiking", as that seems to be what close to aim of the project. I will think some more and let you know.

| − | :I will fill out the [[UK]] section soon. Where are you based? [[User:Lobsterboy|Lobsterboy]] 13:16, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

| − | ::Let's make it that excellent resource!
| |
| − | ::Do we want "wiki" to be part of the name?
| |
| − | ::At the moment I'm in [[Peru]], close to [[Lima]]. Haven't done much hitchhiking recently (last time was in [[Argentina]]). And considering the prices of the bus here and the fact that I'm going north (i.e. [[Colombia]]) aren't helping for the near future. But I'll probably be hitching in the [[US]] and [[Canada]] within a couple of months. (I guess it's good for our Google rank to add more wikilinks :) [[User:Guaka|Guaka]] 15:15, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

| |
| − | Okay, yesterday I asked for it to be called '''Hitchhiking Wiki''' and thanks to Angela it was renamed today. Reopen the discussion whenever you please :) [[User:Guaka|Guaka]] 16:13, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | :It seems that Google picked this up, since we're up to number one at Google, for the search terms ''hitchhiking wiki''. I guess this will lead to a tiny bit more incoming traffic :)
| |
| − | :Now if only [http://www.digihitch.com/link-3.html Digihitch could update their links], I must have asked for it twice already. [[User:Guaka|Guaka]] 20:16, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

| |
| − | ==Names in English or in offical language of region?==
| |
| − | Do we want the names in English or in the official language of the location? I.e., [[Warsaw]] or [[Warszawa]]? Of course, the other should always be a redirect. [[User:Guaka|Guaka]] 02:15, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | We probably want to put both, maybe the English in parentheses, next to the official language name. [[User:LetheSoda]] 7:50 am May 12, 2006
| |
| − |
| |
| − | I'm also for the original names, for locals don't always know the English version. But brackets for that should be OK for everyone I guess. [[User:Deleea|Deleea]] 22:06, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

| |
| − | ==Maps==
| |
| − | I just found out about [http://www.wikimapia.org Wikimapia]. This might be a very cool way for us to include maps. I added one link to [[Nuth]] :) [[User:Guaka|Guaka]] 00:38, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

| − | ==Ad-less hosting==
| + | [[Category:Hitchwiki]] |
| − | I'm thinking about having the Hitchhiking Wiki hosted somewhere else, so that there won't be any ads anymore.
| + | [[en:Hitchwiki:Community Portal]] |
| − | It might be possible at Anarchopedia, but it might be easier to make it part of CouchSurfing. [[User:Guaka|Guaka]] 02:26, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
