Hello, I'm Yworo. I wanted to let you know that I removed an external link you added, because to me it seemed 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, Yworo (talk) 02:36, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Specifically, external links are only permitted in the external links section, the last section of most articles. In the article, only internal links to other Wikipedia articles are permitted. Yworo (talk) 02:39, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Yworo. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Art colony, but you didn't provide a reliable source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Yworo (talk) 23:11, 30 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

All material added must be cited (using a footnote, for example), to a reliable, third-party source. An art colony, for example, cannot be cite to it's own website. It must be cited to a book, journal, newspaper article, etc. This prevents people from simply creating a website, then writing about themselves in Wikipedia. Things must be notable (taken note of by a third party) before they can be added to Wikipedia. Yworo (talk) 23:15, 30 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Finally, you need to read our manual of style. There should not be any bold font in the article text. Unnecessary emphasis shouts spam to us. Yworo (talk) 23:26, 30 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
