Wikitravel

Why would you take out the Wikitravel link? It seems pretty useful seeing as how this is 'wikipedia'. Also, why would you leave in something so useless as "In The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan, to Travel or Travelling refers to using a gateway or "fold" in the pattern created by the One Power to move from one place to another."

It's comments like this that make Wikipedia feel like an pop-fiction fan-index instead of an encyclopedia. -Hamburgerhat

So, I took out the external link to Wikitravel. I didn't think it was particularly useful on this stub, and I personally didn't like the appearance of low-class hit-mongering.

If this becomes a real serious article about travel, well, probably a discussion of or link to Wikitravel would have a place in it. For now, until this article takes on a real shape, a single extlink just seems kinda opportunistic. --ESP 16:37, 11 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Credit card advice

I have worked at hotels for many years. Travel today is a real problem for many people. The staff at many hotels and airlines have little knowledge or interest in the problems faced by travelers. The way companies mishandle credit card information is alarming. This wiki page would be good to give a broad outline of advice to travelers. I started with some hotel and credit card/check card advice etc. Hopefully, people will add more advice. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 198.143.201.9 (talk) 07:15:57, August 19, 2007 (UTC)

scholarly approaches

Arsennik, you need to read the research on which D-F's statement builds: James Buzard and Tzvetan Todorov are accepted authorities in the field of travel theory. His statement simply builds on theirs. It is scholarly synthesis, not metaphor. Have you studied their approaches to the problem? On what other scholarly authority are you proceeding? 86.139.108.172 (talk) 21:48, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ohnoitsjamie, if you want to revert, pleese give reasons beyond 'does not belong in article'. Are you basing your reversion on any established set of ideas about travel? 86.139.108.172 (talk) 22:46, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
