Don't tout

[edit]

Hello, Farheenkhan01! 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.

Hello, thank you for your message. I understand the importance of keeping Wikivoyage neutral and non-promotional. My intention was solely to contribute helpful travel information based on my personal experience, not to promote any business or service.
If the edit seemed promotional, I’d be happy to revise it to better align with Wikivoyage’s guidelines. I’ll review the promotional content policy again and ensure my future edits focus on value for travelers. Please let me know if there’s a better way to contribute that’s more in line with the community standards. Farheenkhan01 (talk) 07:25, 19 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
I didn't see the deleted edit, but there is no need to start an article called "Place to visit in abu dhabi". Just look at Abu Dhabi#See and see if any sights need to be added or any existing listings need any more information, but before you do any of that, make sure you've read the links Ibaman gave you and understood them. If you read the linked pages and don't understand them completely, ask us questions about them before you resume editing. Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:16, 19 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
You indicated 90 minutes ago that you understood WV policies, but your latest edits indicate you either do not understand or you choose to ignore them. 92.21.143.196 09:13, 19 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
I was just trying to fix things properly, but I understand your concern and will make sure to follow the WV policies more carefully moving forward. Farheenkhan01 (talk) 10:09, 19 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
I recently received two warnings on my account and would like to sincerely apologize if any of my edits or contributions violated your guidelines. My intention was only to contribute useful and relevant information to enhance the value of the content for travelers.
Could you kindly clarify what specific issues led to the warnings? I would also appreciate it if you could share the proper content contribution and editing guidelines so that I can ensure full compliance moving forward.
I respect the standards of the Wikivoyage community and would love to continue contributing constructively, if permitted. Farheenkhan01 (talk) 09:33, 20 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
Which part of the Wikivoyage:Don't tout page was unclear? Have you read it yet? Ikan Kekek (talk) 14:04, 20 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
