Wikittravel: Style

While reading through the assigned Wikitravel pages, I got a lot of useful information. As I stated in my first post for this project, one challenge I think I am personally going to run into is the way in which I write and how I am going to work to change it to fit Wikitravel writing.
Three tips I gathered from the readings:
 1) Wikitravel writing is NOT blog writing
When writing for Wikitravel it is obvious that the writing must be informative, as it is an informative site. But the writer must not incorporate personal opinions or bias of any aspect of the particular location. for example, if I post about a certain restaurant in my town that I don't personally like, I cant write " I have been there and the food sucks." Posts for a personal blog, like out last project, leaves room for as many opinions and descriptions we want. Also writing for a blog is like writing how you would talk. Writing for wikitravel, although it should be somewhat conversational, is primarily for truthful information about the particular location.
2) Format of a Wikitravel page should be to the point
To be as simple as possible, don't go overboard! I am focusing my project on a town(small city) just out side of New York City. Even though there is a lot to do around my town, it is important to keep the readers focus on information relating to this particular town. After reading though the templates I notced that a lot of things I would have included are not needed. For example, if I were to write about the newly built entertainment building in South Orange, I should include only the useful information like address and contact info. and a short description of what is offered there.
3)Wikitravel is a travel guide NOT a brochure
Although it may seem like we are supposed to talk up our locations, Wikitravel is not a site where people go to discover the best place to visit. Wikitravel is more of a site that offers all the information one would need after already deciding to visit a location. Do not write as though you are trying to convince people to come visit, but write as though you are very knowledgeable of this particular place and that WIkitravel readers should trust what it is that you wrote.
