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]].
 
 
 
Kind regards

: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)
 
 
 
 
 
==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)
