FAQs:



Hello! I added an external link to the article, but it had been reverted: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=646036484&oldid=634595555 The article is about a Serbian writer, and the link leads to the English translation of one of his works (and currently it is the only English-language text from Domanović that can be found on-line). I administer the forementioned website where the English translation is published, and although the site works like a blog, with longer texts split up into smaller sections, it only contains the actual work of Domanović, alongside historical and bibliographical information, and it is definitely not spam. If there is some reason why it should be deleted, do tell me, or, please, revert it back. Best regards, Vladimir— Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.121.54.77 (talk • contribs)

Vladimir, you say it contains the English translation of one of his works - so the subject of the page that you are linking to is the work, not the writer. Also, the wordpress you link to was already there linking to another subpage of that site (.. linking to all the works in Serbian, similar reasoning as above). I have linked to the mainpage of the domain, which allows readers to find all information on the site, not just the work or a translation. That is really more than enough. --Dirk Beetstra T C 03:23, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Carolands Chateau

This information regarding Mr. Moseley was also verified by this link, but apparently you must not think it is a good reference either even though it is an archived publication. The information can be found by scrolling down to page 40 which is quite a ways down. I will remember not to try to be helpful or add anything in the future.

The bot got caught up in the broken references, not recognising that you were trying to add references. Anyway, that fact, even when referenced by some wordpress blog, is not notable seen the importance of the building itself. For that fact to be notable enough it should have been reported in independent sources way beyond even a local newspaper, let alone a blog. --Dirk Beetstra T C 04:39, 15 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I am a new user and I need help

I want to know that why you reverted my changes on Wikipedia article awakening records ThanksAme123ojfish 22:48, 18 February 2015 (UTC) Help — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ame123ojfish (talk • contribs) 22:48, 18 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Because you were adding a link to the twitter account of a person. Links to twitter accounts are hardly ever appropriate, and certainly not in the way you added it. I've remove the links. --Dirk Beetstra T C 03:09, 23 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Edit to Wooyoungmi

Hello,

This is my first time editing a page. I gave all the information I added a reference link. I saved my edit and it appeared to be ok. But the next morning it had been deleted. How can I find out what I did wrong in the edit? Thank you for your help. (Sadhbhie (talk) 10:52, 19 February 2015 (UTC))[reply]

I've reverted the bot. Anothermag has been deemed a bad reference in the past though - you might want to find something better than that. --Dirk Beetstra T C 03:06, 23 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

About every witch way

So I recently started watching every witch way and I love it! I also downloaded Amazon prime to watch it. I watched the 1st 4 seasons and they were great! But it shows that there is season 5 and 6. Is that true? Because I shows I have to buy those seasons but I'm not quite sure. Are there seasons 5&6? Let me know! Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:B89C:EE0:3CF4:6C53:C6EC:4A91 (talk) 03:08, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have no idea. Maybe the Wikipedia:Reference desk can help you? --Dirk Beetstra T C 03:11, 23 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Community highschool tehran

hello Xlinkbot thanks for your kind about my link to "community highschool tehran", i think it is not inappropriate because it contains historical article. i am one of the first group students which had studied after 1975 there .some of them Were martyr! a historic's article , Should show continuity.you wrote something about previous then let people knows about next. i am the first person which wrote about "community highschool[modares hichschool]" in facebook because i studied there in 1976. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hamidkhodadad (talk • contribs) 03:57, 21 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thanks for the question. There is already a lot of historical info in the article, I don't think that it is needed to link to more of that outside of Wikipedia. Especially not on something like facebook. Information has to be more authoritative than that. --Dirk Beetstra T C 03:14, 23 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you remove the official fan page link ?

Hello I added official fan page link www.facebook.com/YPG to this article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People%27s_Protection_Units and you remove it ?!! what is the problem this is the offical page so I needed to link it to the article


Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by KurdistanaRojava (talk • contribs) 22:41, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No, you don't need to link it to the article - These links are inappropriate, see WP:FANPAGE and WP:ELOFFICIAL. The page is aobut the subject, not about its fan's. --Dirk Beetstra T C 03:02, 23 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Protected edit request on 25 February 2015

Hello Sir/Madam, I would like to add data regarding clubs (Mercantile Club) in VIT college so that people find them easily while browsing wikipedia page. The clubs are genuine and working in college.Please do the needful as soon as possible. Zak 13794 (talk) 04:30, 25 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There is nothing protected there, you can normally edit the page. However, language like "Follow us at :' https://www.facebook.com/mercantileclub" is utterly inappropriate for an encyclopedia, and though I agree that the club is genuine and working in collega, I do not think that the fact itself is notable (but you are free to show me wrong on that by giving independent references showing that). Until then, I have removed that information again. --Dirk Beetstra T C 06:33, 25 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Reverted change the 25 Feb 2015 on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetry

Dear XLinkBot, You reverted my change of the 25 Feb 2015 on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetry I read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:External_links Please consider the following facts. I am a member of the Executive Board of the ISA (International Symmetry Association, cited in the Wiki page). I published many papers about symmetry in anonymously peer reviewed international science and maths journals. The one I mentioned is Symm. Cult. Sci. 2007,18(2-3) pp 99-119, in which I gave a unifying symmetry definition which works not only in geometry, but also for functions, distributions, matrices, strings, graphs, etc. and received applications in chemistry (see refs cited in http://petitjeanmichel.free.fr/itoweb.petitjean.html). As far as I know, nobody else provided such an unifying definition, and it is why I added a link to a free copy of the pdf of the paper, posted with permission of the Publisher (Symmetrion, cited on the Symmetry Wiki page; see also http://petitjeanmichel.free.fr/itoweb.petitjean.symmetry.html). Remark: the URL I gave does not point to the journal site because this journal is print only, and the internaut can only access to the toc (http://journal-scs.symmetry.hu/content-pages/ then click on the issue (2-3) of vol 18). Please tell me which rule(s) of the guidelines I violated, and what change should I do to let the internaut access to my paper from the symmetry wiki page. E.g. should I give two links, one to the journal toc and one to the free pdf copy? Should I give only the link to the journal toc, while the paper can't be downloadaed there? I do not intend to promote myself. If you find the citation of my paper irrelevant, please just tell me why and I shall not insist. Thank you.81.194.29.18 (talk) 09:15, 26 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I would suggest you go to the talkpage of Symmetry (i.e. Talk:Symmetry), and suggest the link there. Please note that we do not link to all work related to symmetry on the symmetry page - instead we only link to work that is detrimental to understanding, but can not be included - I however think that the symmetry page by itself has covered most, if not all, of the subject (and the rest is linked from that page to other Wikipedia documents), and that therefore links to papers are superfluous. Moreover, since you seem to be a specialist, you may be better of improving the page itself .. --Dirk Beetstra T C 11:42, 26 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Dear XLinkBot - You reverted my links when I was fixing the "dead links" entered by your Bots

On February 27, 2015, I have been updated the WITNESS (human rights group) wikipedia page to correct the 'dead links' enter in by the wikipedia Bots.

I have also revised the general information about the organization as the current information is out dated and their mission has changed.

I work for WITNESS and wanted to make sure the information was correct. Now, this XLinkBot has reverted back to all the broken links.

Please, fix immediately by accepting changes. I can be contacted via socialmedia [at] witness [dot] org. I created an account with wikipedia - withnessmj - messages can be left there as well.
