[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 Countries using DAB/DMB has been reverted.
Your edit here to Countries using DAB/DMB 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://digitalradioinsider.blogspot.com) 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 blog, forum, free web hosting service, fansite, or similar site (see 'Links to avoid', #11), then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).
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.

This is quite outrageous. How can a lobby organization take control of a Wiki page? And how can this system reject a non-commercial not-for-profit newsblogg on which the true facts about digital radio are published? I looked into the Wiki page regarding the digital radio technology DAB [1] and started editing incorrect facts about Sweden. The I randomly read information about some other countries on this page and found quite a lot of incorrect or slanted information. Looking into footnoted sources that most information is copied from the WorldDAB web site<ref> http://www.worlddab.org/country-information/<ref>
WorldDAB is a well-known lobby organization for the promotersDAB technology and it is of course in their interest to give a positive picture. But I strongly oppose that Wikipedia can be utilized by state or private commercial interest to promote a system in order to get ahead of other systems as HD Radio, DRM and DVB-T2 Lite as well as Internet based radio.
As there are so much incorrect information on thsi page I see it as impossible to edit and correct it all except for Sweden. My suggestion is that a Wiki page apparently edited by a promotion or lobby organization should be rejected. Otherwise the readers will be mislead by this incorrect page as most don't know the true facts about WorldDAB. Christer Hederström Telegrafist (talk) 16:07, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
