Hello, I'm Alexeyevitch. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you.

Hello, and welcome to contributing to Wikipedia. I hope you will have a successful time here. However, there's a point about addi g links to articles which you should know. I see that some of your edits have added links from one article to another, known as "wikilinks". Wikilinks can be very helpful, but it is a very common mistake among new editors to add too many wikilinks to articles. Generally speaking, a wikilink should be added only if it provides information which is likely to help readers of the article in which the link is placed to understand content of that article, or provide further information closely connected to content of that article. That normally means a link to a page which either explains words or expressions in the article or provides background information which is necessary in order to understand content of that article. Linking to articles in other situations is not just unnecessary, it is actually harmful, because research has established that the more irrelevant, or only slightly relevant, links there are in a page, the less likely readers are to find the ones which they are likely to find useful. Thus, for example, nobody reading the article Galaga is likely to need to consult the article North America in order to understand what "North America" means, nor does the article North America contain any information about Galaga, so linking the one to the other is not likely to be helpful.

To alexeyevitch,

With respect and sincerity I wish to apologize for my previous actions on Wikipedia. I am new here - I am interested in being a vital member of this impactful community on the world wide web.

My previous actions were done innocently and i'd love to know why they were flagged, and why they were inappropriate.

Yours truly,
