November 2012

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page St Joseph's College, Upholland has been reverted.
Your edit here to St Joseph's College, Upholland 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=ndak2JVD2F8) 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.

My recent edits to "St. Joseph's College, Upholland"

For full disclosure in accordance with Wikipedia guidelines: I am the author of one of the books that I added to this article as a reference, which is also mentioned in the video your for which I added a link. The addition of these materials does, however, seem justified because they serve the purposes of the main article by providing detailed information about St. Joseph's College. The book contains a detailed description of life at this seminary during the 1960s, and the video tour -- which is edited from footage I took in the last year the College was still open, as a conference center -- provides a guide to both the unique building and the grounds that surrounded it.

My recent edits to "Catholic sex abuse cases"

For full disclosure in accordance with Wikipedia guidelines: I am the author of one of the books whose key findings I have added to the text in Sections 9.1, 9.3 and 9.8 of this article, and which I also added to the list of references. These additions seem justified, however, because (1) they serve the purposes of the sections in question, namely to summarize the various ideas that have been put forward to explain abusive behavior by priests, (2) they are presented in a neutral tone, with no attempt to attach greater weight to them than to the other ideas described in these sections, (3) the book in question was accepted and published by an imprint within a major publishing conglomerate, and (4) this book is based on particularly relevant personal experience, in that I spent seven years in a minor seminary during the 1960s, which most observers regard as a crucial period for understanding the abuse crisis in the Church.
