Hello, Ursus44! Welcome to Wikivoyage.
To help get you started contributing, we've created a tips for new contributors page, full of helpful links about policies and guidelines and style, as well as some important information on copyleft and basic stuff like how to edit a page. If you need help, check out Help, or post a message in the travellers' pub. If you are familiar with Wikipedia, take a look over some of the differences here.

This is a interesting article and a good subject for an Itinerary. I would however like to check with you that this is not a copy from other peoples work which may be copyrighted? Also it appear to be promoting another website a little too much, a mention is fine but this is not a place for advertising. Would be good if you could tone it down a little. As an example for useful tips on style and format, take a look at Ad's Path. --Traveler100 (talk) 05:12, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
- I made a category for your images on Commons. Thank you for them. I think it would be wise to send an email to the OTRS system, to confirm you are the artist. The {{own work}} is often used when just the photography is by the Commons user, which is unproblematic for landscapes and old art, but not enough in this case. Sooner or later some admin will find the images and think they are copyright violations, unless this step is taken.
- There are instructions on Commons:OTRS#E-mail template for release of rights to a file. The mail should be sent to [email protected] with content as in the template: "I hereby affirm that I am Boris Pecigoš, the creator and sole owner of the exclusive copyright of both the work depicted and the media as shown ...". Choose alternatives that suite your situation. There is no handy way in the template to tell what media or works the affirmation is about. A file list will do very well, but then future contributions are not included (but making additions later is not too difficult).
- You probably have to change the wording so that it is clear that only the photographs, not the artworks themselves, are covered by the licence you choose.
- If the procedure is confusing, many people on Commons and here are happy to help (including me, but I might not be able to answer promptly, so a public question/request is better than one in private).
- Thank you LPfi for that information! I sent the email as you stated! Thanks for making the category too! Is it possible to change the name of category to "Stražica - Sapaćica Land art trail" or just "Land art trail on Mt. Učka" to correspond to the name of the article (itenerary)? --Ursus44 (talk) 21:19, 4 October 2017 (UTC)
- Good. I seem to have been to quick when naming, I just did a copy-and-paste without really checking how the trail was named. Now renamed (I hope I got the English capitalisation right). Could you check that I got the Croatian name right, and add a short description in Croatian? --LPfi (talk) 07:46, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks! All is well! I added description in Croatian. --Ursus44 (talk) 08:04, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for insights and advice
[edit]Thanks Traveler100! I am new here and I'll add itinerary template, and tone down the external links. Text is mine, not of other people, I'm the author of text and the Land art trail too. Thanks again. --Ursus44 (talk) 08:17, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
- You haven't done this. The article, as it is, is very out of line with the Don't tout policy, since you are using Wikivoyage to promote your work. Therefore the "style" tag. Ibaman (talk) 18:18, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
Don't tout, external links policy
[edit]Hello, Ursus44! Thank you for contributing to Wikivoyage, but please note that one or more of your recent edits has been reverted as it appeared to be an attempt to use this site to advertise or promote a business or service. Wikivoyage is created by travellers for travellers, and while business owners and employees are welcome to contribute, use of this site for promotional purposes is not allowed.
If you feel that your edits were incorrectly identified as promotional, please read Wikivoyage's guidelines on identifying promotional edits. If, after reading that guideline, you still feel your edits were incorrectly removed, please use this talk page or the talk page of the article where your edit was removed to explain why your change was not promotional. Note that it is very important that you discuss your proposed change before re-adding it since repeated promotional edits can lead to a temporary block of your account's ability to edit Wikivoyage, and in serious cases the business in question may be blacklisted from Wikivoyage.
Also read WV:External links. Travel articles are not vehicles for promoting yourself. Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:46, 1 April 2026 (UTC)

- Hi! My intention behind adding the links was not business promotion, but rather offering readers access to a detailed author's guide for those who wish to explore the trail's background further. However, I respect Wikivoyage's rules regarding external links.
- Since I am only an occasional contributor and not fully familiar with the technicalities of the system, I suggest you take a look at my official guide here: https://boris-sasho.com/land-art-trail-land-art-staza/. As a Wikivoyage expert, please feel free to incorporate any information you find useful for the article. Alternatively, let me know if there are specific details I should add to improve the guide here.
- Regarding the Wikimedia Commons link, I noticed it was also removed. Could you please help by adding the correct template or link to the "Učka Land Art Trail" category on Commons? I tried adding it myself but kept encountering errors and wasn't sure of the proper format.
- Thank you for your help in improving this article! Boris Pecigoš (talk) 08:22, 1 April 2026 (UTC)
- We don't add direct links to Commons galleries like that. They can be accessed through the Wikidata link to the article. If you would like to add more content from your guide, go ahead; just make sure it doesn't violate the policies I linked above - and read them. Thanks. Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:50, 1 April 2026 (UTC)
