April 2011[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 Mitzi Szereto has been reverted.
Your edit here to Mitzi Szereto 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=W-bv3Rrkon0, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHVyXsE-5Fs) 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.

I have not infringed any copyright, but posted links to clarify information and provide further information. I see the same thing being done on other Wiki pages so assumed it was fine to do. I also do not have multiple accounts and appear to have been targeted as a sock puppet. I added material to a listing without relogging in, which I now realize triggered this block on my account and the IP address I was working from. Kindly remove the block.

Direct linking to a copyrighted souce such as WP:YOUTUBE is a violation. Editing the same article while logged in an then logged out appears to be a violation of WP:SOCK in most cases, by giving the impression that multiple people support such an edit. before unblocking, we would need to ensure that you understanding that linking to sites such as Youtube is not acceptable. In addition, you are blocked DIRECTLY, and your IP address is blocked as well. Your unblock request (as per WP:GAB) should not be the IP unblock - admins will automatically unblock the IP if they accept your unblock request (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 11:06, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
