Touting warning
[edit source]Hello, Albiimoro! Thank you for contributing to Wikivoyage, but please note that one or more of your recent edits has been reverted as it appeared to be an attempt to use this site to advertise or promote a business or service. Wikivoyage is created by travellers for travellers, and while business owners and employees are welcome to contribute, use of this site for promotional purposes is not allowed.
If you feel that your edits were incorrectly identified as promotional, please read Wikivoyage's guidelines on identifying promotional edits. If, after reading that guideline, you still feel your edits were incorrectly removed, please use this talk page or the talk page of the article where your edit was removed to explain why your change was not promotional. Note that it is very important that you discuss your proposed change before re-adding it since repeated promotional edits can lead to a temporary block of your account's ability to edit Wikivoyage, and in serious cases the business in question may be blacklisted from Wikivoyage.

[edit source]You failed to read and comply with the above, and as a result, you are now blocked. Ibaman (talk) 15:49, 12 June 2026 (UTC)
- Hello Ikan Kekek and Ibaman,
- Thank you for the message. I understand now that I should not have re-added the listing after it was reverted, and that I should have discussed the proposed change first. I apologise for not following the correct process.
- My intention was not to use Wikivoyage for promotion. Experiment Art Bar is a recently opened venue in Tilburg that functions as an art bar, gallery café, restaurant and community/event space, which is why I thought it could be relevant for travellers. However, I understand that because I am connected to the place, my edits could appear promotional.
- I will not re-add the listing again. I will first read the relevant guidelines on promotional edits and conflict of interest, and if appropriate, I will use the article talk page to ask whether a short, neutral and factual listing would be acceptable.
- Could the block be reviewed once I have read the guidelines and confirmed that I will follow the correct process going forward?
- Thank you. Albiimoro (talk) 15:56, 12 June 2026 (UTC)
- Sure. The issue is mainly that you can't list anything more than once on this site, but do read the entire WV:Don't tout page and also look at WV:Welcome, business owners. Let us know if you have any questions after you've had a look at those pages, and I'll be happy to unblock you at that point. Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:53, 12 June 2026 (UTC)
- Stop using any IP or other accounts to evade your block, or this account will be blocked permanently! Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:43, 12 June 2026 (UTC)
