Hello, I'm Tommi1986. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Animation industry in South Africa have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. Tommi1986 ^{let's talk!} 13:22, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Tommi1986,

I'd like to apologise if I broke your policies. The information I added was information on the non-profit industry body that represents the Animation industry in South Africa which is what the page details. It was in no way meant to advertise but to let anyone searching for information on the industry, know that there is an organisation that can provide all the information they need. Please unblock me, I'm struggling to understand how to do that. Please advise how best to put this information on the related page without being seen as advertising.
