Hello, I'm XLinkBot. I wanted to let you know that I removed an external link you added to the page Johnny Thunders, because it 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.

Thanks, etc.

Hey there, thanks for the Barnstar, much appreciated - although I really did nothing to merit any thanks at all. What I should have done is explain to you why your links kept getting deleted. Wikipedia has a "policy" I guess you'd call it, that external links to Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, etc. are "discouraged" - something close to "forbidden" but not quite. You can get the straight dope about external links at WP:EL. I suppose the rationale behind this is that the potential for abuse, lies, defamatory content, porno, mischief, and other offensive material that is rife on FB, MS, etc. is just too prevalent to allow these things to proliferate. YouTube sometimes gets by but it's scrutinized by long-time editors first.

I can't say I'm familiar with the Tattooed Love Dragons, but I'm certain you'd find other fans over at WikiProject Punk music, one of hundreds of Wiki "projects" that aim to improve and standardize articles in a range of topical areas - music, zoos, mammals, etc etc etc etc. I'm a member of a couple of Projects (including the punk one) but I'm usually far too busy here and in real life to do much of anything constructive.

Not that it means anything but I saw Thunders play several times in NYC and Boston, most notably with The Heartbreakers. Never got to see the Dolls play live but wore out several LPs over the years.

Welcome aboard and thanks again for the kind gesture. --Seduisant (talk) 00:35, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
