Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Ryde School with Upper Chine has been reverted.
Your edit here to Ryde School with Upper Chine 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 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7h3cTc5yR8, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EU-PC0KxB4) 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. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 16:01, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Youtube Videos featuring Ryde School Isle of Wight

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Youtube Videos featuring Ryde School Isle of Wight requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about web content, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. Home Lander (talk) 17:08, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, as you did at Ryde School with Upper Chine, you may be blocked from editing. Jdcomix (talk) 17:46, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

I am not "disruptive" and object strenuously to being so described. I believed that I was doing something legitimate. A different person has politely communicated with me, above, and I have not used the YouTube again but given a description in writing instead. I was trying to provide authorised links as these are legitimate are they not? Please explain your remarks. Thank you. SpinnakerSpinnaker766 (talk) 18:13, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi, I am also writing in reference to your edits to Ryde School. I have reverted the edits. The majority of the edits are adding reference into the body of the text rather than as citations, which is not standard practice. If you would like to introduce the links, you might want to take a look at Wikipedia's citation policy on Wikipedia:Citing sources. Also, information such as Companies House registration number and companies names and descriptions in relation to planning applications are a bit too much detail for Wikipedia. Being concise, accurate and neutral is important. Hope this helps. Adamiow (talk) 21:35, 6 May 2017 (UTC)
