User talk:Chris Prawn

Hello, Chris Prawn! 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. Also read WV:Goals and non-goals, WV:Listings and WV:External links. All Sleep listings point to the same URL, an aggregator, making this article a kind of link farm, which is unacceptable. Thanks for understanding. Ibaman (talk) 10:50, 7 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi Ibaman, It seems that there is a fine line between giving information and promoting or touting. If I do not succeed towing the line, the reason might be that I am new to WV. Please let me know if I cross the fine line into promoting again, before you throw me off or blacklist me. I appreciate your advice. Chris Prawn (talk) 11:26, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi Ibaman, I need advice on the following: I live in Vilankulo and want to encourage others to update the Vilankulos page by listing their restaurants and asking them to go to WV and edit the restaurant names that I entered. I thought they might find it easier to do it this way that to first discover you to add a listing. Is this approach wrong or promoting. I also explained that the South Beach of Vilankulo contains many destinations for travelers that nobody knows about. This contribution was deleted. Help me to understand why list a lodges on the South Beach of Vilankulo. Chris Prawn (talk) 11:47, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

 * And I'd note that you're continuing to link to the aggregator, so you're likely to get blocked soon, for an initial period of 3 days. Please take what Ibaman wrote seriously and read the links instead of asking questions that show you haven't read the links. Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:44, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Please help me understand if I am correct in saying that my main transgression was to add the Web Site of the lodge (Casa Jardim, Ebony Beach Lodge) that I listed. The listing template asks for the Web Site, but entering the URL is creating a 'link farm', which is wrong. 2C0F:2A80:118A:7210:109:52EC:34A8:5F6F 12:41, 8 March 2024 (UTC)


 * again, please read WV:External links. Aggregator sites cannot be listed. Ibaman (talk) 13:01, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
