Homestay listings[edit]

Hi. I'm concerned about your homestay listings, which are just names and a website link. This seems to be in violation of the policies at external links#what not to link to and Wikivoyage:Apt. I'm going to revert all of them on this basis. It's OK to list homestays, but you must list their street address or at least a clear location description if they have no street address, and contact information. Linking to a travel company's site is not OK. I hope this makes sense to you. Thanks. Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:51, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please explain why it's OK under this site's tour and external links policies to list thrillophilia dot com[edit]

I'm once again reverting such listings. Please make your argument below. Otherwise, please don't add such listings or links again. Thanks. Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:08, 18 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Further to the point: This seems to be a portal/booking agent, not an actual tour operator. That's why it presumably shouldn't be listed or linked per external links#what not to link to. So please stop linking it unless you have a good argument as to why linking it doesn't violate WV policy. Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:13, 18 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
