Narooma[edit]

Hi Craig and onced again welcome. It is good to see someone taking an interest in the Narooma, New South Wales article. Just one word of advice, be careful that any content remains encyclopedic and does not turn into a travel guide. See WP:NOT#TRAVEL for some guidance on this. A section titled such as "Things to do and see" could be seen in breach of this guideline. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me on my talk page.

As a contributor to Australian articles, you may like to connect with other Australian Wikipedians through the Australian Wikipedians' notice board and take a look at the activities in Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia and associated sub-projects. Once again, welcome. Cheers, Mattinbgn\^talk 21:36, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Matt,

I wrote something onto your personal talk page regarding this prior to understanding how this "talk" thing worked. As I mentioned there, most of the Narooma stuff was already on the page and I added the Australia Rock and two external links - neither links are money making in anyway and only one of them belongs to me. The Narooma Online web site has been around for about 9 years and has served the Narooma community for all that time in a non-profit informational sense as well as providing information on Narooma to potential visitors to the area.

I will look at the links to various Australian related projects with interest.

Thanks,

Hi Craig. Thanks for getting back to me. I intend to clean up some of the "travel-guide" content in the Narooma article in the future. When adding external links, please ensure they meet the external links guidelines and remember that Wikipedia takes its conflict of interest guidelines very seriously. Of course, any improvements you can make to any of Wikipedia's articles would be very much appreciated. Cheers, Mattinbgn\^talk 23:03, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey again Matt,

I understand what you're saying regarding "travel guide" content, however I disagree with your intention to remove external links as none of them are about self promotion and I believe they're relevant. I assume when you say "travel guide" you're referring to the "Thing to do and see" section, in which case I agree with you and I added my bit simply because it was inline with what was already there, I simply extended it slightly in the same style as had been used previously. I might look at a re-write myself to see if it can't be made a little more bland and not an advertisement.
