Hello, welcome to Wikivoyage, and please read welcome, business owners and don't tout. It's not OK for you to tout your school as "first-class", because that has no set meaning and is being contributed by a self-interested person. Input only the specifics.

Hi there. OK understood but why has the whole link been removed? I've tried to word this is genuinely as possible. I can deal with the first-class comment being removed that's a slight on my part but why the removal? - Max LTL

I did that in only one instance, and that's because not only was there a problem with the listing, but it was in the wrong place: Language school listings in districted cities (that is, cities for which this site has district articles) should be listed only in the article for the district they're in, not the article for the entire city.
And while I have you, I want to talk about this listing:
On this site, using unnecessary capital letters is considered touting and not OK. The only words that should be capitalized in the "content" tab of that listing are Offers (because it's the first word of the sentence), Chinese and Chengde. Please make the rest lowercase. Thanks, and let me know if you have any more questions. Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:03, 3 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Understood but Chinese (language) and Chengde (City) should be shouldn't they? Also the only reason I added the school there was because I saw other schools there. If they are there I assumed we could be. Sorry for any confusion but shouldn't the rule apply to all of us and not just us? —The preceding comment was added by LTLMandarin (talkcontribs)

Of course rules and guidelines apply to everyone (note that I added a "movetodistrict" template at the beginning of Beijing#Learn), but we have a recent changes patrol on Wikivoyage, so your edits are most in evidence when they're new. No-one expects you to know all the Wikivoyage guidelines right away, so don't think of my remarks as criticism, just guidance from an experienced user to a new user.
I said that Chinese and Chengde should be capitalized. "Immersion language classes" and "home stay families" are not proper nouns and don't get capitalized. Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:34, 3 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
