Talk:Walt Disney World Dolphin

message: I'm new at this, so please pardon me if I'm going about this the wrong way, but I'd like to make some changes to the Walt Disney World Dolphin and Walt Disney World Swan articles because they are out dated in many repects. The hotels have recently spent millions in renovations, so the entire theme is different than it used to be. I have tried to make the corrections, but the article is reverted back right away. I work for the hotel, and I understand WP's policy on conflict of interest. What would be the proper way for me to request updates?

replies: text: As noted in the below conversation and in the edit summaries - WP is not a travel guide. Details about the types of linens used, the soaps and other items in the bathrooms, or whether there is a concierge/car rental desk/in-room safes/etc or not is not appropriate here.  Unless the exteriour of the buildings have removed the swan/dolphin statues and repainted, they are still "nautical whimsey" in design style.  While WP frowns upon self-edits by non-biased folks, your edits were not reverted due to that reason, but because they were trivial and inappropriate.  Please see WP:NOT for details, but for your convenience, I've excerpted the appropriate text here: An article on Paris should mention landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre, but not the telephone number or street address of your favorite hotel or the price of a café au lait on the Champs-Élysées. Wikipedia is not a place to re-create content more suited to entries in hotel guides, culinary guides, travelogues, and the like. Notable locations may meet inclusion criteria, but Wikipedia does not list every tourist attraction, restaurant, hotel, venue, etc. Such details may be welcome at Wikitravel, however.  Hope this helps. SpikeJones (talk) 18:22, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Renovations

message: I've been advised that room descriptions are generally not part of WP pages.  I wanted to include them here to show that the Swan and the Dolphin have different arrangements due to their Sheraton vs Westin legacy - Swan (Westin) has two queens whereas Dolphin (Sheraton) has two doubles.  Even after the Sheraton/Westin merger and the massive renovation, the beds have not changed.
:It still reads like a travel guide.  Are room descriptions encyclopedic, or merely something that people will discover if they go to a travel website that specializes in such things, such as hotels.com? For example, although we have the information to include the exact number of slot machines and table games available in specific casinos, we don't as that information is not encyclopedic but better suited to a travel site.

thread_title: Rooms

message: Do guests of the Dolphin recieve a KTTWC, so as to have one card that is both their ticket to Disney parks such as Epcot, as well as their room key. This info should be added.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.120.42.20 (talk) 15:27, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Key to the World card 

message: As both hotels share the same amenities, have the same website, and many other things shared such as the history, I think that both articles should be merged into "Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin". --Atomicdragon136 (talk) 04:25, 12 August 2018 (UTC)
