May 2012[edit]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, but at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Blood on the Saddle, did not appear to be constructive and has been automatically reverted (undone) by an automated computer program called ClueBot NG.

Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Note that human editors do monitor recent changes to Wikipedia articles, and administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism.
ClueBot NG makes very few mistakes, but it does happen. If you believe the change you made should not have been considered as unconstructive, please read about it, report it here, remove this warning from your talk page, and then make the edit again.
If you need help, please see our help pages, and if you can't find what you are looking for there, please feel free to place "{{helpme}}" on your talk page and someone will drop by to help.
The following is the log entry regarding this warning: Blood on the Saddle was changed by Cardiffmermaid (u) (t) ANN scored at 0.952068 on 2012-05-22T00:55:35+00:00 . Thank you. ClueBot NG (talk) 00:55, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Blood on the Saddle has been reverted.
Your edit here to Blood on the Saddle 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 email address removed, email address removed) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. an image file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy and therefore probably should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file.
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.

Blood on the Saddle[edit]

Please stop what you are doing at Blood on the Saddle. Firstly, you are removing all of the proper layout and formatting of the article - its information box, sections, references, etc - and replacing it with a wall of text. Secondly, that wall of text is clearly copied and pasted from another source, which makes it a copyright violation. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 08:44, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for abuse of editing privileges. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 22:42, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If you think there is a problem with the content of an article and your changes are disputed, then you must discuss it on the Talk page. You MUST NOT keep removing everything that is in the article, you MUST NOT keep destroying the proper formatting of the article, and you MUST NOT fill it with a blatant copyright violation - material can only be copied to a Wikipedia article if it has been properly released according to Wikipedia's CC-BY-SA requirements. Finally, the subject of a Wikipedia article does not get to dictate the article's content, and associates of subjects of Wikipedia articles should pay close attention to our Conflict of Interest policy. If there are inaccuracies, discuss them on the talk page and we can fix them. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 22:48, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and something else I should have pointed out is that even if there were no copyright issues with the material you have been copying in to the article, it is not written in a way that is suitable for an encyclopedia entry. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 08:58, 23 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
