Transportation routes and schedules edit
Please do not transwiki transportation routes and schedules:
- Transportation routes and schedules are usually updated multiple times a year.
- As such, they are nearly impossible to maintain in a timely and reliable manner.
- They are often not 'travel related' but 'transportation related', meaning they have a limited appeal to mostly locals.
- Most wiki's such as WikiVoyage have guidelines against including them.
WikiSource edit
Please do not transwiki:
- Material that is not professionally published. (See What Wikisource includes)
- Copyright material not in the public domain or freely licensed works. (See Copyright policy and Beginner's guide to copyright)
