Hello, Deebeltran! 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. New users are also welcome to post any questions or concerns to the arrivals lounge. If you are familiar with Wikipedia, take a look over some of the differences here.

Thanks a lot for the information you're adding to articles about places in Ecuador! The additional information and updates are much appreciated!

However, it looks to me like andestransit.com is not a primary link, as we like to restrict ourselves to - please read Wikivoyage:External links, particularly the "What not to link to" section. What that means is that you should argue that this website is so indispensable or just plain useful to travelers that we should allow links to a commercial site that's not a primary link. You are probably on stronger ground to argue that an exception should be made for this link at the highest possible level, such as articles for entire countries. I doubt that adding it to the article for every single town in the Andean region will be accepted, so expect your work to be reverted, and make your argument at Talk:South America. I should let you know that if you do not make an argument and continue adding this link to every possible page, it might prove necessary to not only revert your work but temporarily suspend your posting privileges - something no-one wants to do.

All the best,

I started the thread. See Talk:South America#Andes Transit site. Your participation in that thread would be appreciated, and please stop adding this link to any more articles until we have a discussion that either supports making an exception for this site or rejects it.
