Reply to your message on my talk page

Hi Elod1234! I am replying here as my talk page gets automatically archived, so the oldest item is typically only a couple of months old.

You wrote Hello and kind regards! One edit was removed by another admin, she stated that Wikipedia is not a travel page: "Unsourced; also: this isn't a tourist website, so this kind of information is misplaced on Wikipedia)". And this was my suggestion for a new chapter "Visitor information": "The Seventh Fort is a private property and it cannot be visited inside. To an official inquiry at Sepintasfortas.lt we got the following reply: "Hello, you can visit Fort outside only, it is free, any time you want."" In my opinion admins shouldn't be undemocratic and dictators, just remove something alone, it should be discussed with other admins also. I spent time to write the email to the officials of Seventh Fort Kaunas and then I thought I will share this useful information with other. Many tourists use Wikipedia for planning a trip, so do I. Sharing is caring. So I am kinda upset about this, I invested time for the edit, and then it was removed very soon.

There are a couple of things to respond to here.

There is a Wikimedia project for travel called Wikivoyage. The Seventh Fort would be covered on the Wikivoyage:Kaunas page. The good news is that they do not require citations there, but like have an editing philosophy much like OpenStreetMap's "Map what's on the ground" policy. However, I would take time to read through Wikivoyage:Tips for new contributors to know how to incorporate your information. It might be best to ask first how to do this at the Wikivoyage:Arrivals lounge.
Regarding what Felida97 commented in the edit summary, these policies & guidelines apply:
- Wikipedia is not a manual, guidebook, textbook, or scientific journal
- From WP:V: In the English Wikipedia, verifiability means other people using the encyclopedia can check that the information comes from a reliable source. Wikipedia does not publish original research.

I hope this is helpful. Peaceray (talk) 18:41, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
