[edit] Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button Image:Signature_icon.png located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 15:18, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Prince of Leiningen do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia.  

Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam from Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert a good link, please accept my creator's apologies, but note that the external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia.
The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): rule: 'geocities\.com' (link(s): http://www.geocities.com/henrivanoene/genbaden2a.html) . If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, or similar site, then please check the information on the external site thorougly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creators copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).
Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! XLinkBot (talk) 15:23, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Prince of Leiningen

Your recent edit to this article added a bunch of references to self-published sites. These do not constitute an acceptable reference for Wikipedia. Please become familiar with WP:5P and other Wikipedia policies. The fact that bots have been reverting your work is no accident. Please be willing to listen to advice from more experienced contributors, which I see you've received in the past. This advice doesn't appear to have influenced you so far. Your changes are not going to remain in the encyclopedia if you keep going this way. It is to your advantage to participate in discussions. EdJohnston (talk) 15:35, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Isnt the site that was referring the wrong facts also a self publish site? So why the discrimination here? I guess you didnt bother to check before you hit out? for your information, the original source page , http://pages.prodigy.net/ptheroff/gotha/leiningen.html, is published by a user name "Paul Theroff" - so why not remove that too? or is it a bias thing? --Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.165.224.166 (talk) 18:31, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
All the self-published sites should go. If you make a list of them on the article's Talk page, you'll probably get support for removing them. EdJohnston (talk) 18:41, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
