==Discussions for you==
 
 
Hey Jani, your opinion is desired at [[Talk:Singapore#New article for Pulau Ubin?]]. Also, I wondered if you might have any advice re [[Maldives#Regions|this map of the Maldives]]&mdash;it was an unusually tricky map to create.  --[[User:Peterfitzgerald|Peter]] <small><sup>[[User_talk:Peterfitzgerald|Talk]]</sup></small> 13:54, 11 January 2010 (EST)
 
 
==Any Bali feedback==
 
I guess you got back safely :)  Hope all went well. If you have any feedback on Bali listings
 
(or new ones), please fire away. --[[User:Burmesedays|Burmesedays]] 03:31, 13 January 2010 (EST)

== Make sure you are sitting down... ==
 
....when you read this. That [[Ubud]] won the award for [http://www.concierge.com/tools/travelawards/readerschoice/cities top city in Asia] is ''just'' about believable, but one hell of an achievement nonetheless. But this? If you take the top scores of all cities in the world, Ubud is fifth! I am stunned. Bali sadly lost (just) its perennial top island spot to The Maldives. --[[User:Burmesedays|Burmesedays]] 02:50, 8 February 2010 (EST)

I never knew there was something like this on the wikia projects until I saw your profile on wiktionary :) I like it, it's pretty fun. Haven't you ever visited the Netherlands? We like to welcome you soon! [[User:81.68.255.36|81.68.255.36]] 14:08, 15 February 2010 (EST)
 
 
== Naming conventions ==
 
 
There's a lengthy discussion at [[Wikitravel talk:Naming conventions#Latin Characters]], and a point was raised about why Vietnamese is an exception to the "use the Latin alphabet including accents/diacritics" rule.  Since you wrote [[Wikitravel:Romanization#Vietnamese]] you would seem to be the expert on the matter, so can you add your thoughts?  Thanks! -- [[User:Wrh2|Ryan]] &bull; ([[User talk:Wrh2|talk]]) &bull; 22:51, 16 February 2010 (EST)

Hi Jani. You might not be aware that Riverside has been up for [[Wikitravel:Star_nominations#Singapore.2FRiverside|Star Nomination]] for ages now? I thought you might want to comment.--[[User:Burmesedays|Burmesedays]] 04:45, 17 February 2010 (EST)

As you are probably the only regular Wikitraveller who is not me that has been to [[Ubud]] this year, it would be great if you could comment on the [[Wikitravel:Star_nominations#Ubud|starnom]] :). Cheers.

== Help with mapmaking ==
 
 
I've been trying to use the osmatravel scripts (I run Linux) to make a map of Riga, but I have a hard time understanding some of the instructions, namely where I'm supposed to draw the boundary and how I'm supposed to configure the tags.

==Enabling the Add Listing feature==
 
Hi there. I've been trying to get the listing form editor working for pt:. I added the edit tools successfully and I've translated the labels for the listings editor and they show up fine in Portuguese when you access it from the edit button of a listing already in template format (example: [[pt:Viana do Castelo#Coma]], but there is no section button to add a listing. Do you know how to enable that? [[User:Texugo|Texugo]] 01:19, 7 September 2010 (EDT)

==User:Msnhinet8@zh==
 
Hi, Jpatokal
 
I noticed that "User:Msnhinet8" in Chinese wikitraval might be a vandalist who was [http://zh.wikipedia.org/zh-tw/User:Msnhinet8 blocked] at Chinese wikipedia. I think adminins may have to watch him/her. Thanks. [[User:Mok|Mok]] 21:09, 10 September 2010 (EDT)
 
 
==Navigation box==
 
Hi. I wonder if you could tell me how to edit the main left-hand navigation box. Pt:'s navigation box doesn't have a link to its traveller's pub. [[User:Texugo|Texugo]] 23:17, 16 September 2010 (EDT)
 
 
:I think only admin/bureaucrats (maybe even just the tech crew) can do that.

==mysterious letter==
 
 
Hey Jani, there's this letter that looks like a p with the top poking out a little more than usual... I assume it's a Roman character since it is supported by my Nokia (the 9 wxyz key) while texting... Which letter is that exactly? [[User:Upamanyuwikitravel|upamanyu]]
 
 
== Advice requested: Jeju page restructuring ==
 
 
Hey mate, last week I gave the [[Jeju]] page a roadtest -- without a car -- and found it just horrendously difficult to use. Ended up relying on a fistful of soulless brochures and browsing over odds and ends of ''Jeju Life'' on my phone. Sure, theres info missing and lacking in places, but that stuff comes with time. My concern was that some of the info actually there was lain out in such a jumbled and confused manner that I couldn't use all of what was there. Basic navigation info proved confusing and I think that's related to the article structure. I've thought about this a bit and come up with what I feel is a solution, albeit a bit unorthodox so I want a second opinion. A cross between splitting the article and following a Huge City template-esque structure. As you seem to have a fairly large interest in the South Korean articles I figured you'd be a good one to ask. I've detailed the proposal and the rationale behind it on the Talk page and I'm quite willing to play around with it myself whilst adding bits and bobs I've picked up. If you get a moment, could you please have a quick read and throw me some feedback or an opinion?
 
 
Also, any advice (or links to advice) on making consistent "Wikitravel-style" maps would be greatly appreciated as I can see a couple of articles begging for them. Cheers!
 
 
PS: Keep an eye out for snakes hey! I was living in Batchelor down beside Litchfield only a few years back for a few months. 4m python outside my door one night coming back from the pub. Harmless unlike the death adders I regularly spotted (have the photos to prove it too, my students scream if I pull them out).

==Region and town quickbars==
 
Hi there. How are you doing? A resurgent suggestion has come from a relatively new user about making quickbars for city and region articles, and I would really love to hear your opinion on it. When you get a chance, could you possibly join in [[Wikitravel:Travellers' pub#Region and town templates|this discussion]]? [[User:Texugo|texugo]] 02:52, 21 May 2011 (EDT)

== Bangkok Airport Bus ==
 
 
Hey Jpatokal, are you sure the Bangkok Airport Bus has stopped operations? That would be a tragic loss, I've used it not that long ago! :( I am looking for a source for more information on this, but I cannot find any. Do you have one? --[[User:Globe-trotter|globe-trotter]] 08:15, 13 June 2011 (EDT)

==Inappropriate discussion==
 
 
As should be obvious, especially in this case, fork discussions are not appropriate at WT. I have removed your two topics, as they amount to a backdoor method of undermining this community.--[[User:IBobi|IBobi]] 16:14, 2 July 2012 (EDT)
 
 
: There is no such thing as an "inappropriate discussion" on Wikitravel: the previous Wikivoyage fork has been discussed here extensively, and the future fork will be discussed here as well, like it or not.  Reverting Talk pages is considered vandalism, and your actions will be treated as censorship.  You're in a hole already, stop digging it deeper.  [[User:Jpatokal|jpatokal]] 19:57, 2 July 2012 (EDT)
 
 
::I certainly disagree that an action that can be taken by any Wikitraveler (and was reverted in minutes) could be considered "censorship," even though I am an IB employee; I am also a WTer, and I used no tools or methods that are not available to even the most anonymous of editors. In addition, there is support in the community for the idea that fork talk is inappropriate, which is what led to my action. Completely within the rules of this project.
 
::Just the same, as you have seen, at least 3 WTers have raised an issue with your discussion, and more specifically your links to the fork talk on WM. I see no support for discussing it on WT and two other admins asking for the links to be removed, so it's up to you, but you may consider removing the link to fall in line with community thinking on this. Thanks for listening.--[[User:IBobi|IBobi]] 17:13, 10 July 2012 (EDT)
 
:::You've now inappropriately posted two links to the competing travel fork discussion and a link to your personal blog. Please remove these three external links as they directly contravene the policy against external links and competing travel sites on WT.--[[User:IBobi|IBobi]] [[User talk:IBobi|talk]] [[Special:EmailUser/IBobi|email]] 13:27, 12 July 2012 (EDT)
 
::::Make my day &rarr; [[Wikitravel:User ban nominations]]. [[User:Jpatokal|jpatokal]] 20:56, 12 July 2012 (EDT)
 
:::::The fork discussion thing is obviously unresolved and has no clear policy, while the external links policy ban on links to blogs applies only to content pages, not discussion pages. [[User:Texugo|texugo]] 12:33, 13 July 2012 (EDT)
