Incorrect removal of edits (external links) July 29 2013

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chen-style_t%27ai_chi_ch%27uan?veaction=edit

This bot is removing legitimate edits. The edits included removing a dead external link and adding a few very appropriate and related supporting external links as well. There was no reason these should be removed as they only serve the purpose of informing the articles. Please address. Thanks— Preceding unsigned comment added by Molingquan (talk • contribs)

Thanks for your question. I think it is addressed in the message that is left on your talkpage. I'll have a look as well. --Dirk Beetstra T C 09:48, 30 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Natalie Hoover

hi, I made a new article today NATALIE HOOVER however I meant for it to be a biography since she's a living person. Is it possible to change it to so? Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nathan001984 (talk • contribs) 23:29, 30 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your question. I am sorry, I don't know how to do that, and am not sure where to send you to ask. --Dirk Beetstra T C 09:41, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

correction of equipment

unaware that such links could not put, but the correction of equipment is fine because you delete are not associated with the gaa or are recognized by the same--Lucas Sanchez Dalmau (talk) 00:13, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure what you mean here .. could you please explain? I see that the page you were editing, I think it is not completely conform what lists should look like, much unreferenced and very not-notable material in there. --Dirk Beetstra T C 09:43, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comparative Advantage

Hi, the boot is removing http://ventaja-comparativa.blogspot.com/, I know that the URL .blogspot is in the list of pages to be removed. This is not a blog, is hosted at blogger but is a tool for calculating Comparative Advantage. If blogger is not allowed what free servers are allowed? Thanks. PD: the tool is in spanish, it's also neccesary to be in english?. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lainz007 (talk • contribs) 02:48, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, you are right, sometimes there are other things hosted on blog-sites. However, if you read our external links guideline, specifically WP:ELNO, you will see that it anyway fails Wikipedia's inclusion standards. We are not writing a linkfarm or a internet directory for anything related to a subject. I hope this explains. --Dirk Beetstra T C 09:31, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"Varo Venturi" page - references

Hello, thank you for your message!

I have a small prob with the insertion of the references on the page : "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varo_Venturi". This are a few of the links I was trying to public: " http://www.moscowfilmfestival.ru/miff35/eng/archives/?year=2011

https://flashmentalsimulation.wordpress.com/tag/varo-venturi/ " I took a look on the pages you've indicated to me and also I've tryed to see other people pages but under the refereces I've found only this text :"{{reflist}}".. I don't know excatly what it means and also how to create it. Can you please give me a hand? Also, I would like to ask you how to link the italian version (http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varo_Venturi) at the english one (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varo_Venturi)?

I am not sure what you are asking. First, the article has some external links, but most are just not suitable per our guidelines. I think here you want to add some references. Those you add in the text, next to the statement that gets verified by the information you pulled from the link (you put the link between a '<ref>' and a '</ref>'-code, and in the references section you put what you see in the other pages, '{{reflist}}'. All the texts between the ref-marks gets then automatically into the references section. :Regarding the link to the Italian page, that will happen automatically by a bot, may take a bit of time to get it populated, you don't have to worry about that at all. --Dirk Beetstra T C 07:21, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Administrators, I tried to fix a link on the page StubMail but the bot reverted it. I believe that my edit is legitimate. Please contact me to let me know whether you agree or not. Yours sincerly, --Vitalij zad (talk) 11:16, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Bot failing with non-standard characters

Please see User talk:Noradcupid - you'll note that the bot is referencing Christian Benítez, which is non-existent; it should, in fact, reference Christian Benítez. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 16:15, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I refer to your point about removing a link to an interview with Paul Maze. I certainly don't think it is irrelevant for an encyclopaedia. I have watched lots of similar clips from links on Youtube. This link was specifically significant because Paul Maze is talking about Winston Churchill. It is the only interview I could find and very rare. Please can you reinstate? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.138.55.57 (talk) 16:17, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, a known problem, it seems to forget the character encoding somewhere in the code. I still have to work on this, but you are right, it should be solved .. --Dirk Beetstra T C 04:31, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Pumpkin

Hi, I'd like to make a few comments and suggestions re pumpkin . You locked it, but it seems rather vandalized. current text:" A pumpkin is a gourd-like squash of the genus Cucurbita and the family Cucurbitaceae (which also includes gourds).[1] It commonly refers to cultivar of any one of the species Cucurbita pepo, Cucurbita mixta, Cucurbita maxima, and Cucurbita moschata, and is native to North America. They typically have a thick,... " a gourd- like squash is meaningless as gourd (family) is the hypernym of squash (its genus) a gourd also includes gourds is also meaningless cultivar is inappropriate a pumpkin.. it refers...they is jarring. I will not attempt to suggest the text but please keep in mind: Family: Cucurbitaceae = gourd genera: Cucurbita, Lagenaria. Lagenaria is native to the old world, Cucurbita to Americas genus Cucurbita: squash, pumpkin species: maxima, mixta,muschata = winter squash (commonly identified with pumpkin or squash) species:... pepo = summer squash (commonly called zucchini, marrow, courgette) genus Lagenaria species sicenaria . (its baby fruits are like zucchini), full grown fruits become emty shells and are called bottle-gourds. Bye93.43.218.126 (talk) 10:06, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know what you are talking about, I think you want to explain this on e.g. Talk:Pumpkin to get more attention. --Dirk Beetstra T C 04:30, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Shahrzad Rafati - Apologies for questionable link

Hello, sorry about including a YouTube link on my recent edit to Shahrzad Rafati's page. It was an oversight as to copyright issues. I have since removed it. Thank you for your understanding. Reignfall (talk) 19:13, 15 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

White-cheek Tern

I note that you have removed my link relating to the White-cheek Tern. As far as I am concerned that's OK, but why have you removed my inclusion that it occurs in Sri Lanka? Its occurrence in Sri Lanka is well established re. any of the recent guides to Sri Lankan birds. By removing "Sri Lanka" the information relating to the distribution of this species is incomplete. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Protospinax (talk • contribs) 03:09, 16 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

South Polar Skua

Protospinax (talk) 03:24, 16 August 2013 (UTC)I note that you have removed my reference entitled "South Polar Skua Catharactasp. or Hybrid Skua?' in Sri Lanka. This paper is an important addition to the literature on Skuas in Sri Lanka and has been cited in several publications, including the OBC's Birding Asia. The paper seeks to correct some inconsistencies in a previous publication. If this reference is rejected, the question of the whether the species occurs in Sri Lanka will be incomplete. You may wish to reconsider your decision.[reply]
