May this article include writers of travel journals? There is no such list in WK, although there are the articles Travel literature and Travel journal - but no list of authors. Or should this be a separate article? It is sometimes hard to distinguish between the two forms. Input welcomed. Nick Michael (talk) 19:56, 30 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

  • If the travel journal was in diary format, describing particular days, it would be useful here, especially if this article gets converted to database where someone can search for things written about particular days anywhere in the world.69.72.27.117 (talk) 05:30, 17 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Would be even more useful

edit

This list is useful. But it would be even more useful if put into database format internally, so it could be sorted by birthdate, date of diaries, country, language, etc. Perhaps also a few descriptive words- travels, meals, battles, research findings, lovers, etc.208.103.155.60 (talk) 08:08, 17 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

No references!

edit

Added a References section, important for people who are notable because of their diary and who don't already have an article, and for people with articles to document the diary; diary information may be lost in general articles.209.86.76.28 (talk) 19:44, 8 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

Do such people a page (even a short one) and then add to lists of pages. Bmcln1 (talk) 11:19, 30 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

A decision should be made, publicized and kept to. The style has been US up to now. At present the spelling and terminology are an unprofessional mixture.Bmcln1 (talk) 22:12, 4 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
