Hello, Bedbroker! 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.

You appear to be a hotel marketer. Your contributions are welcome, but please have a look at Wikivoyage:Welcome, business owners for additional information that pertains to folks who own or represent hotels and other establishments catering to tourists. Thus far, your contributions are mostly on the right side of the line when it comes to what we consider acceptable vs. what we consider touting, but it's a handy guide anyway.

A lot of these listings are in violation of the don't tout guidelines, and they also have an incorrect format. Please remove all the check marks and edit as needed to avoid touting, or it will be necessary to revert your edits. The other problem is illustrated by the following question: How many listings do you plan to add? Hotel marketers actually aren't supposed to add any listings at all to articles, and you can see the suggested procedure at Wikivoyage:Don't tout#Marketers and SEOs:
"If a hotel is truly exceptional, or if a city has a very limited number of lodging options available, you may propose a listing to be added by suggesting it on the article's talk page, but do not add the listing yourself." Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:03, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
As the web links being added for the hotels are not those of the respective hotels but of a booking site, the edits are being regarded as spam. --Traveler100 (talk) 18:56, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
