Links to social media sites from Tishma

Several times in my edit summaries I have pointed you to Wikipedia guidelines on the inclusion of external links, and in particular the section on official links. Have you read and understood that guideline?

Normally subjects of Wikipedia articles are allowed only one external link to a site of their own. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a fan site or an extension of Tishma's web presence. Tishma's Facebook and YouTube pages are prominently linked from her official home page, so including them in Wikipedia is a violation of the guideline to minimize the number of official links. Allowing a second link, to Twitter, is I think quite generous.

You have repeatedly restored links to Facebook and YouTube despite the fact that I expressed a problem with them. If you have a different understanding of the external link guideline, or believe that Tishima should be an exception to the guideline, or simply disagree with the guideline, please explain here or on the article talk page. Seek a consensus rather than continuing to restore those links unilaterally. Worldbruce (talk) 05:55, 15 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

With respect to this edit, if you don't think the Tishma should link to Twitter, that's fine. But as explained above, the article will not be linked to her Facebook page because her official home page already links there. If you're determined to edit against consensus and link to Facebook, you'll need to get her to change her website so that it doesn't link to Facebook.

hello, i did not restore and youtube or facebook links "repeatedly" so please don't exaggerate as that is not fair. you said that we should list 2 external links not more so i only changed Twitter to Facebook as i have tried to follow the style of other local wikipedia pages when i edit and most of them list Facebook instead of Twitter. will you please use the talk page yourself also instead of sending me personal messages and attacking my edits? you don't own these pages either right!

Edit War? Strange WordBruce I used your guidelines

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Worldbruce (talk) 16:05, 17 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That is odd. Did you not say yourself that you kept two external links and I just changed from Twitter to Facebook? I did not create any edit war here, I made the edit trusting your own given guidelines without even checking the extras link you gave. What more can I do? I have been contributing to this page for a long time, and since i have used the guidelines that you yourself gave, you could have used the talkpage yourself before undoing my edit.
