[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Bed bug has been reverted.
Your edit here to Bed bug 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 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzUUScv9320&feature=channel_video_title) 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. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original.
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. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 23:05, 29 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Careful

[edit]

Darren, I'm going to have to ask that you stop including the URL of your businesses everywhere, okay? That you're an expert, here to share your knowledge -- okay, that's fine. But we can't let you use Wikipedia to try to drum up business. Okay? DS (talk) 14:47, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. [1] [2] MrOllie (talk) 17:22, 26 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You have removed a link which was allowed and has been in place for Months, the bed bug videos which was okay? I accept you have removed the others, and to be honest I have only just discovered this talk part of my page so its my fault for not being aware of previous comments but I would appreciate the videos link being replaced? — Preceding unsigned comment added by DarrenG80 (talkcontribs)

The link sat for a while without being noticed, that is true. That does not change that it doesn't meet the external link guideline, though. It should not be replaced. - MrOllie (talk) 18:23, 26 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

September 2012

[edit]

This is your last warning. The next time you insert a spam link, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted, preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well as potentially being penalized by search engines.
