rewrite

[edit]

The previous write up, known far and wide, is identical with that of many sites. As far as I can make out, the sites, some quite well-known, copied WP word-for-word. We reached the disgusting point on one previous article where I was suspected of copying THEM. I nearly quit. I had one famous axe-administer trying to lure me into a confession. It was cleared up after years went by. They copied ME. In any case there is going to be no question here. The original write-up is in the travellogue style: hyperbole, irrelevant comments, advertising slogans, a style discouraged by WP for its articles. Moreover it refers to a "good-old hippy" time of free camping in the forest, beach nudity, and just generally making a stinking mess of the free beach in Crete. That time was nearly 50 years ago. We need to get rid of that write-up. I am working it. The up-to-date write-up is going to cover three discernable topics, the forest, the beach, the archaeological site, all under the name of Vai. So, I felt that 3 different infoboxes were required to cover them. I envision these to be short. I will be deleting much of the long lists of parameters. These can be long or short topics. If the article turns out to be not that long, I think they can all be kept in this article. If any starts to be longer the topic can be broken out into a different article. The pictures right now are in a single area. If a topic is broken out the pictures can be broken out also. Ciao.Botteville (talk) 09:44, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
