Don't tout

[edit source]

Hello, Almajidy! 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.

I deleted the toutiest listing you added. Don't edit war, or someone will likely delete all the listings you added, as words like "luxury" or "near the main road" are pretty questionable - read WV:Words to avoid, too. Thanks. Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:55, 28 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hi @Ikan Kekek,
I’m not affiliated with any company—I simply think these are great places in my city. Thanks for the advice as well.
I’m also working on an Arabic version of Wikivoyage, and that will be my main focus moving forward (rather than Wikipedia).
Thanks… Almajidy (talk) 00:30, 29 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

Your privacy and use of the Travel Tracker

[edit source]

In April, Wikivoyage introduced the Travel Tracker (also known as "My Travel Map") in the user menu at top right. It has recently come to our attention that the initial version of the tool did not make clear that maps created through it are public and are associated with your account. Users who used the tool and published a map may have their map deleted by emailing a request for oversight. We apologize for this matter.

Your home page

[edit source]

Hi Almajidy,

May I request a change to your home page. I noticed that you had a considerable amount of text in Arabic on your home page. I do not read Arabic, but I was able to cut and paste most of the text into Google Translate and I recognised it as probably being a quote from the Koran. However I could not translate the heading which is an image written in a much larger font. Out f courtesy to your fellow editors, will you please replace the image with large text. The way to do this is to write

<span style="font-size:500%">ووَصَّيْنَا الْإِنْسانَ بِو</span>.

This gives

ووَصَّيْنَا الْإِنْسانَ بِو

This will enable other readers who do not read Arabic to see what you are writing.

PS - I copied the first few words from your home page as a test. Martinvl (talk) 20:14, 4 October 2026 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for letting me know that the large image is just calligraphed Arabic. I will provide a translation for the Quranic text below, as it contains classical words that are uncommon nowadays and difficult to translate automatically. Almajidy 𓇼 07:44, 5 October 2026 (UTC)Reply
(side note: ideally <center><span style="font-size:500%">ووَصَّيْنَا الْإِنْسانَ بِو</span></center>, if you want it to be aligned to the middle of the page) //shb (t | c | m) 08:30, 5 October 2026 (UTC)Reply
