Chinle
[edit]We enjoyed visiting Chinle very much, which is why this article is on my WP:WATCHLIST. However, I don't think your edits are encyclopedic as Wikipedia articles are not meant to serve as travel guides. Our policy at WP:GUIDE says "Travel guides. An article on Paris should mention landmarks, such as the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre, but not the telephone number or street address of the "best" restaurants, nor the current price of a café au lait on the Champs-Élysées. Wikipedia is not the place to recreate content more suited to entries in hotel or culinary guides, travelogues, and the like. Notable locations may meet the inclusion criteria, but the resulting articles need not include every tourist attraction, restaurant, hotel or venue, etc. While travel guides for a city will often mention distant attractions, a Wikipedia article for a city should only list those that are actually in the city. If you do wish to help write a travel guide, your contributions would be welcome at our sister project, Wikivoyage." Looking at Wikivoyage, I can't find an article on Chinle, only on the Canyon de Chelly, which we visited.[1]. If you want to make a major contribution to this sister project, an article on Chile would be great. I can see an article on Yuma.[2] Start here.[3] Dougweller (talk) 11:32, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
