Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it.  MrOllie (talk) 19:52, 20 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Good morning, point is understood clearly. The adding info is of two reputable companies in town, one that is the largest and oldest, the other one with great reputation that was chosen to service both Democrat and Republican presidential candidates campaigns in Central Florida.
 * As you can see when googling charter bus companies in Orlando, the list other than Mears is made out of bus brokers, that mislead customers charge and arm and a leg (after saturating all first page SERP) and then squeezing the life out of poor small mom and pops companies giving them work and volume for miserable prices.
 * I mention two referents of the beautiful city of Orlando, amid all confusion of people arriving with their groups and sacrificing thousands of dollars for a no show service many times. You mention all links in wikipedia are no follow links, don't understand what is the harm to provide good and accurate information to worldwide visitors.
 * Thanks 2603:9001:1501:300:9581:B7C7:7742:A1F0 (talk) 15:06, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
 * And Also.... please see the description I just saw (By the Way, you know "Falcon charter bus" is part of that big brokering ($$$$$) company Shofur-gogocharters-falconcharterbus [whose information and emails are there... as you can see below]-nationalcharterbus-floridacharterbuscompany [ and all other big states and cities, from here to the UK and Australia ] etc etc... "I guess someone did not noticed they entered that..." Mr. Ollie or paid for someone to look the other way??
 * Edit reverted:
 * Bus service between cities and towns in Florida is provided by a number of private companies, including Greyhound Lines, Megabus , OurBus , RedCoach, [ https://atcbuses.com ATC Buses Orlando]. and Falcon Charter Bus Orlando . Amtrak Thruway Motorcoach service is offered connecting Amtrak trains to cities off of train routes, including Fort Myers and St Augustine, but tickets cannot be purchased for the bus alone, only a combined bus-rail itinerary.

 * If some other business is mentioned in Wikipedia, that is not a reason for you to add improper advertising as well. In any case, it was removed a few days ago. MrOllie (talk) 15:56, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
 * "I am Very surprised they got in without being noticed". To be fair, I think for the reasons explained before, those two companies Mears and ATC should have a link ("nofollow") but to serve as referents of companies in the area (with their respective urls). After all it is not only knowledge but practical and useful knowledge the one being shown at Wikipedia. (I mention before what is the brokering company saturation of first pages not only here but in all USA-Canada-UK-Australia), and I think the point of view and knowledge I bring on this matter, matters. 2603:9001:1501:300:9581:B7C7:7742:A1F0 (talk) 16:11, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
 * No. Wikipedia isn't a business directory. MrOllie (talk) 16:15, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Understood and agree, but what are those other companies links doing there then? (or were... Greyhound, Megabus, RedCoach etc....). I agree with what you say, but in this particular case disagree, this will bring no link-advertising benefit to the companies other than letting customers know they are real companies and not deceiving brokers. Just doing the right thing here.
 * BTW you mentioned Falcon Charter Bus (Shofur broker parent company) was removed a few days ago... but when I read the thread... it shows: Falcon Charter Bus |date= |accessdate=2022-03-20. "The power of money" I guess : ) 2603:9001:1501:300:9581:B7C7:7742:A1F0 (talk) 16:23, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I'll make this simple: If links to these companies continue to be added, It is very likely that the users and IPs adding them will be blocked, and the URLs will be added to Wikipedia's spam blacklist. MrOllie (talk) 16:26, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
 * That sounds great, I hope you deliver, and not notice some 7 months after edit? like in Falcon Charter Bus case... Carlinhoorlando (talk) 16:44, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
