Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Herman Brood do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia.

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Tan Dun. 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.

In response to your feedback[edit]

Hi Rubysmit,

Thanks for your feedback and edits so far. I think the links you add are both appropriate and actually add to the article, good job. I do have one tip for you to make them even more helpful to readers:

Between the <ref>...</ref>-tags, paste the following:

{{cite video | people = | title = | medium = | publisher = | location = | date = | url = }}

Simply fill out the correct details after the equals sign (as far as they can be found, you can leave blanks) and it will transform into a neat reference once you have saved the page. For examples, check this page, scroll down until you hit the video part. Further questions? Ask me or the Helpdesk. Regards,

September 2012[edit]

In general, a person or organization added to a list, as on Nikola Tesla, should have a pre-existing article to establish notability. If you wish to create such an article, please confirm that your subject is notable according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you. If you wish to add an external link to a documentary, the link should go directly to the documentary, not to a promotional video or an aggregation web site. – MrX 14:30, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

thanks for your feedback. because the documentary film is fairly new (2012), there isn't an IMDB page or more 'objective' website available with info about the film, or a website that provides the documentary for free. i edited the contribution again, without the link.

Rubysmit (talk) 08:44, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the reference again. Wikipedia requires notability and reliable sources. Please feel free to add this content back in if you are able to include a source citations from a newspaper, magazine, major news web site or book that discuss this documentary in more detail. It is also not clear that the documentary has actually been completed, or is an ongoing project. Please see WP:CRYSTAL and WP:RS for more information, or let me know if can help by answering any questions. 14:16, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

I'm sure the documentary film is finished, as I've seen the film myself. However, I understand the need for proof... How about the info on these websites: allabouttesla & DOKweb?

In my opinion, the video is not (yet) notable. Anyone can make a video; that alone does not make it an accurate biographical portrayal of Tesla's life. I could not find a single news article with the title of the video. The fact that there is a web site selling it is not sufficient.

Other editors may have different perspectives. I recommend that you raise the issue on the article talk page. Good luck – MrX 13:56, 7 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
