Hello, Andrew! 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. If you are familiar with Wikipedia, take a look over some of the differences here.

Thank for your contributions. sats (talk) 10:40, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Please have a look at xl and wbo. Short version: Booking services cannot be listed or linked to on this site, and advertising is banned. Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:11, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

But there are travel services listed there 4 of them?

Safari operators can be listed under our tour policy; booking services for lodgings or safaris cannot be listed. If you know that other listings are in violation of our policies, plunge forward and delete them. Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:43, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I just found it strange that the 4 others weren't deleted when you deleted the one I added, plus the others listed on the South Luangwa page. Thanks for the reference to the listing policy for Tour operators

You're welcome. Sorry for any inconvenience. Wikivoyage is for the benefit of travelers, not businesses, though those interests sometimes coincide. Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:48, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I do understand and respect that. As I said there were already four providers there and I just added another, and did not think I was 'breaking the rules' because of the actual heading and existence of the others.

I understand that, as well. Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:58, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
