Hi Mariya, I think those lists should be moved to pages titled "Consulting" (or "Consultants"), "Hosting", etc. - clearly the large response to the original "MediaWiki vendor" page indicated a need for this kind of listing. Yes, the "Jobs" page was closed due to sensitivities, but I think a simple listing of consulting companies, or wiki farms, etc. is much less issue-prone than a listing of specific MediaWiki-related jobs. A disclaimer at the top, saying that such a listing does not constitute an endorsement, should be enough to cover it, I think.
