Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Detailed information on each attraction
Along with having a photo gallery, each attraction has a small description, plenty of reviews and a map. The "Tribe" feature tells you what type of travelers enjoy that attraction the most (Outdoor Enthusiasts, Local Culture, Adventure Travelers etc.).
Pro Attractions have photo galleries
Each attraction has a photo gallery that any reviewer can add to. Many of the galleries are quite large with great pictures of the attraction, so you can get a good feel for whether or not it's something you're interested in.
Pro You can ask a question about your destination/attractions
gogobot has an "Ask a question" feature where you can inquire about your destination, and get answers from both locals and frequent travelers.
Pro Overview of the best/most popular attractions
Rather than give you a long list of all possible attractions, wikitravel lists only the most popular/must see spots. This saves you time when picking out quality attractions.
Pro Doesn't look like a marketing pitch
Wikitravel, true to the format of Wikipedia, doesn't have ads, and the content isn't worded in a way that makes readers feel like they're being pitched to go somewhere by a travel agency.
Pro Attractions are separated into a variety of categories
It's easy/quick to find the type of attractions that appeal to you most because of the way they are organized. "See", "Do", "Learn", "Buy" etc..
Cons
Con Website layout can be confusing at first
The website design is fairly crowded. With so many features available on the site, it can take some time to figure out how to navigate it.
Con Lists places that are out of business
Gogobot does not keep their lists of businesses and attractions up-to-date, so some of their listings are no longer in business.
Con Uncertain how the quality is checked
Con Can be outdated
Con Limited pictures
There are very few pictures of the destination, with none (in most cases) of specific attractions. If you want to get an idea of what the attraction looks like, you'll need to find images on google or other sites.
Con Short descriptions
Descriptions of each attraction are often only a couple of sentences.
