Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Birds in music has been reverted.
Your edit here to Birds in music 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 (https://cassandramiller.wordpress.com/) 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.

Birds in music

• Hi, I was away when you edited that article. A belated welcome. I've adjusted a bit of what you added as it wasn't clear that the additions were in the right section (recorded birdsong vs imitations), and you'd made it look as if your additions came from the citation which followed them, which they hadn't. I've found refs for a couple of the composers; please feel free to edit the article some more, with suitable refs for each new item! All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:19, 24 September 2016 (UTC)
