# {{Support}}. WT was actually my introduction to the wonderful world of wikis. And although I eventually ended up on WP:EN and havn't done any substantial edits on WT in years, it has pained me the way it seems to have stalled. If WikiMedia can help it rescue itself, I'm in favour. [[User:Chris j wood|Chris j wood]] ([[User talk:Chris j wood|talk]]) 18:39, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
# {{Support}} It would be great for Wikimedians who love to travel. --[[User:Rangilo Gujarati|Rangilo Gujarati]] ([[User talk:Rangilo Gujarati|talk]]) 20:40, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
# {{Support}} I feel that such kind of tourism website should be controlled by wikimedia foundation rather than some company only trying to make money. I have a strong feeling that more people would contribute to a travel guide controlled by wikimedia because wikimedia has a reputation of providing free information and this is one of the biggest reason why people donate their time for websites controlled by wikimedia. One of the biggest problem with current website wikitravel is that the data is provided by volunteers but the owners of the website make huge money and don't even update the website. Most of the people who contribute to wikitravel do it only because they think that this website is part of wikimedia foudnation which is an Non Profit Organization. As soon as it becomes known to people that wikitravel is not controlled by wikimedia they would stop volunteering. If wikimedia foundation controls the website then more and more people would contribute to it and it will also become as good as wikipedia. I know it very well that wikimedia foundation is always trying to make their website better, they have recently started an office in India and have organized conferences and advertisements motivating people to become part of wiki family so that more and more information could be provided but I have never heard of any such movement being organized by wikitravel which clearly means that they have nothing to do with what is happening with their website or what kind of information is being provided on it. I hope that wikimedia will start the website soon. [[User:Nandanupadhyay|Nandanupadhyay]] ([[User talk:Nandanupadhyay|talk]]) 04:56, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
