Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business has been reverted.
Your edit here to The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://newbooksinbrief.wordpress.com/2012/03/18/a-summary-of-the-power-of-habit-why-we-do-what-we-do-in-life-and-business-by-charles-duhigg/) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. 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) 10:47, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
Please do not reinstate the edit XLinkBot reverted again. The link is a blog that shouldn't be added to Wikipedia. A boat that can float! (watch me float!) 15:35, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
Dear Floating Boat: The link is to a site used by bloggers, but is not itself a blog and the article contains no opinions whatsoever. It is instead a site that provides executive summaries (that are unfortunately too long to appear on wikipedia) of books. In other words, the site is strictly about the dissemination of information, and is entirely consistent with wikipedia's philosophy, purposes and guidelines.
Sincerely, Book Reporter
- I guess it can be useful as a primary source then. A boat that can float! (watch me float!) 06:31, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
Hello, I'm XLinkBot. I wanted to let you know that I removed an external link you added to the page The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business, because to me it seemed inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thanks,

Dear XLinkBot: Regarding the link of mine that you removed (details above) I have the following to say: The link may appear suspect as it is connected to a platform used by bloggers, but the site itself is not a blog, and the article in question contains no opinions whatsoever. It is instead a site that provides executive summaries (that are unfortunately too long to appear on wikipedia) of books. In other words, the site is strictly about the dissemination of information, and is entirely consistent with wikipedia's philosophy, purposes and guidelines. The site has been approved by the editor Floating Boat (see above), and I believe this was a just decision. I would appreciate if you did the same.
