[edit] April 2008

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 Durham Miners' Gala 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: 'youtube\.com' (link(s): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NofS62auiJI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRZLKEB5okM) . If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. an image or a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy and therefore probably should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file. 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) 20:26, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Durham Miners' Gala. 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 web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. 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 rather than re-adding it.

Please do not vandalize pages, as you did with this edit to User talk:XLinkBot. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing. -- lucasbfr talk 20:45, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Editing other people's comments is vandalism. -- lucasbfr talk 20:48, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
You are entirely right and I apologize for that. Apparently there is a bug in our recent changes engine, a developer is looking into it. Sorry about that (I'll look at your linking issue) -- lucasbfr talk 21:00, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Youtube

Hi, while the bot is indeed "wrong" (in the sense that this is not spamming) in removing your links, I am concerned that we are starting to have too many video links on the article. Wikipedia is aiming as having as few external links as possible ("Wikipedia is not a repository of links"). I'll have a word with the bot owner to see if they can tweak the bot's behavior (note that unfortunately 99% of youtube links are not suitable for Wikipedia). Thanks again! -- lucasbfr talk 21:12, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

I was oversimplifying (too much, I guess) :). I guess the matter is moot since Veinor realized that the links were dead. However, the external link guideline (yeah, I know, we have too many guidelines) states that links should be kept at a minimum. I suggest not linking to more than 2-3 videos, since not many people will watch more than one (if they don't know what this manifestation is). They can move to other videos of interest through Youtube's "Related videos" feature, if they want to know more. But I agree this is a grey area. -- lucasbfr talk 21:35, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Durham Miners' Gala. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
