[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 Pub crawl has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://thirst-bus.webs.com/ (matching the regex rule \bwebs\.com\b).
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) 10:53, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
Why can't I edit Wikipedia?
Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements, and using Wikipedia for promotion. Although Wikipedia has a great many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, it is considered inappropriate for such groups to use Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.
- Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?
Probably not. See Wikipedia:FAQ/Organization for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, or organization. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.
- What can I do now?
You are still welcome to write about something other than your company or organization. If you do intend to make useful contributions on some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:
- Add the text
{{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}}below this message box. - Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy.
- Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:
- Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the edits for which you were blocked.
- Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

Request reason:
I don't understand why this user has been blocked. Thirst Bus is a website which has a collection of anecdotes in the form of a pub crawl. It is not an organisation. The people who created it have no connection with First Bus or any of the licensed premises mentioned on it apart from using the former as a form of transport and occasionally drinking in the latter. There is no form of advertising on the site and its owners have nothing to gain financially from the site. A visit to the site would clearly demonstate this.
Decline reason:
We do not get to promote our own websites on Wikipedia. It's that simple. --jpgordon::==( o ) 17:17, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Request reason:
Like your bird list, Josh? Your reason is simply hypocrisy. Wikipedia promotes directly or indirectly many websites. Isn't having a page on First Bus promoting a company? Do you have a commercial interst in them? This is far from being a unique situation. Wikipedia is a collection of adverts.
Decline reason:
No, it isn't. Please stop trying to twist the rules in your favor. Such further arguing on false pedantics will cause your talk page editing privileges to be revoked. Regards, –MuZemike 18:14, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

Jawohl!

I assume that means you're done. Kuru (talk) 18:23, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
