Welcome, and some issues to look out for
[edit]Hello, Sundarstravels! Welcome to Wikivoyage.
To help get you started contributing, we've created a tips for new contributors page, full of helpful links about policies and guidelines and style, as well as some important information on copyleft and basic stuff like how to edit a page. If you need help, check out Help, or post a message in the travellers' pub. New users are also welcome to post any questions or concerns to the arrivals lounge. If you want some practice editing, please do so on our graffiti wall. If you are familiar with Wikipedia, take a look over some of the differences here. If you want to contribute with information about the place where you live, see Wikivoyage:Welcome, locals.
Please also have a look at Wikivoyage:Don't tout and what not to link to, and have a look at this edit summary. Feel free to reply or ask any questions below. I appreciate your constructive work, but you'll see from the edit summary that there are a couple of things that concern me.
All the best,
Touting warning
[edit]To make things absolutely unambiguous:
Hello, Sundarstravels! 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.
If you post any promotional links or links to other guides again, this account will be blocked. Ikan Kekek (talk) 14:43, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you for letting me know. May I ask which of my edits is considered as an attempt to advertise or promote a business? Sundar'sTravels (talk) 15:35, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
- I'm so sorry: I messed up. In your edit to the Tamil Nadu article, you linked the official tourism site, not some other guide. While there were some other much less important problems with the edit, my response was slipshod and out of line. Please accept my apologies. Ikan Kekek (talk) 15:44, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
- No problem. Thank you. Sundar'sTravels (talk) 16:03, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
