If reporting a problem with a domain, please write the name as site dot com instead of site.com, or you will trigger the blacklist again! If your site is currently on the blacklist and you wish to have it removed please comment below under the section about why the site was blacklisted in the first place (if there is no such section create a new section). Note that sites blacklisted due to violation of Wikivoyage policy will only be removed once the editor in question has indicated that they have read and understand the relevant Wikivoyage guidelines. Repeat offenders will generally not be removed from the blacklist.

Repeated touting and edit warring.--ThunderingTyphoons! (talk) 14:39, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
- hi Im the owner of Heathfield Estate. Im sorry about the touting but i have no idea what im doing here. I saw the Twin Cottage under Splurge on this page https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/New_Forest and thought it would be ok to add our place. Would the following work under the rules here? Any and all suggestions welcomed. Thanks:

Lyndhurst Road, Bransgore, Accommodating 2-12 guests, our offering includes the 4-bedroom Heathfield Coach House which can sleep up to 8 people and the 2-bedroom Magnolia Cottage which can sleep up to 4 people.

- Hi, i have now read on the wikivoyage guidelines and will follow the template at https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Wikivoyage:Listings. Can you please remove this from the blacklist. Thanks Paheydon (talk) 11:02, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
- Hi. Your place looks very nice, but we just need to be mindful not to see Wikivoyage as free advertising. WV is primarily written for tourists and other travellers by travellers (and often locals). We're giving up our time for free, so messing round with touts is quite annoying. I've actually removed the Twin Cottage listing too now you've pointed it out.
- Regarding your business, thanks for confirming you've read some of our guidelines. Did you also read Wikivoyage:Listings#Rental listings, as well as WV:Welcome, business owners and WV:Don't tout? After you've read those, please could you add your proposed listing to Talk:New Forest (without external links; we can add those to the finished version in-article). If it looks as though it respects our guidelines and policies, I'll add it to the article and unblacklist your website.--ThunderingTyphoons! (talk) 15:32, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
- Hi, i have read all the links that you provided and put a proposed listing in Talk:New Forest for your review. thanks for your time. Paheydon (talk) 16:36, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @ThunderingTyphoons!, just wanted to make sure you saw my proposed listing per above? Im looking forward for it being added and getting unblacklisted. thanks! Paheydon (talk) 10:38, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
- If you mean the listing above, it's really obviously out of compliance with Wikivoyage guidelines. How could you have read them and still written "our"? Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:57, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Ikan Kekek
- No. I wrote the following at: Talk:New Forest as @ThunderingTyphoons! requested which i believe follows all your guidelines now.

- Sorry, I've been really busy and forgot to do this. I have now unblacklisted the url and added a slightly modified version of the listing to New Forest.--ThunderingTyphoons! (talk) 11:05, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
