[edit] found one (maybe)pro-Tortoise link
To be exact, it appears to be a list for people who've enjoyed travelling with the Green Tortoise and would like to talk about how to get the most out of the experience. It seems to be run independently of the Tortoise. I think this addresses the concerns of many of those who've worked on putting this article together, so I'll put that group into the external links section, if nobody minds.

- Normally I dislike Yahoo! Groups links in Wikipedia External links, but in this case I think it is merited given the dearth of pro-Tortoise links seemingly available. Thanks. Kit 18:38, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] pro-tortoise links
-
- I'm surprised you all had such a hard time finding positive references to the Tortoise. (Although, I'm the first to admit, to some people, "They don't have a toilet on the bus" automatically counts as a negative review.) Here's an offhand list of positive links. This is a mix of both passenger webjournals and articles by professional writers:

- If I dig through my archives I can come up with many more of these. (I am the webmaster of greentortoise.com, I get a lot of these.) Seeing as how this is my first time ever using wikipedia, I'm not sure what the process is, so I'm not going to insert these into the GT wikipedia article myself, I just saw that nobody seemed to have this information so here it is. If someone wants to provide some guidance as to how they should be handled or what to do with them, it would be appreciated. Gtwebmaster 22:42, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] primary sources
I have the full-text primary sources cited in the article sitting here in my Inbox, but not the interest to work them into the article. If anyone would like a copy of these primary sources with which to improve the article, drop me a line and I will be happy to forward them on to you. I would love to include the full texts as subpages here, but I assume that would violate all sorts of copyright. ∴ here…♠ 22:26, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Rewriting
This article needs some serious rewriting. The section on hostels seems very choppy and the sentences don't flow at all. I tried to help out a bit by removing some original research and clearing off an unverifiable source and some merging of the opening sections. Cowman109Talk 00:39, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
