Hello, I'm Hertz1888. I wanted to let you know that I removed an external link you added to the page Golden Gate (Jerusalem), because it seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you.

Welcome to Wikipedia. I hope you will do much constructive editing and enjoy your time here. I reverted your videos on the basis of WP:ELNO, nos. 4 and 5. The videos have serious data flow and viewing problems (at least on my computer), with many interruptions, making them almost unwatchable; these problems, together with the link in the lower right, and the content in general, make them look like external links whose main purpose is to promote a website. Wikipedia has a strict policy that it should not be used for advertising or promotion. When such links are added to multiple articles it is considered spamming. That is how I see it. You are, of course, free to seek a second opinion, which might perhaps be done through the Help desk. Hertz1888 (talk) 21:38, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

Dear Hertz1888. First, I do not understand your comments about the quality of my videos. i checked them on Wikimedia and they work perfect. I believe that Videos are much better way to show places in Jerusalem than just Pictures, and that is why I am contributing my works to Wikipedia. I am constantly receiving comment and email from people that watch my videos that NOW they can understand the excitement of visiting Jerusalem and that is thanks to my videos.

As for the link to my site from the Video File. I believe this is Wikipedia way to say thank you for people contribution. Each page at Wikipedia has links directly to other sites that have contributed information or pictures. There are sites that share pictures from Jerusalem (and other places in the world) and they have links directly to their site where they make money from Advertising and also selling tours in Jerusalem (and other places in the world). At my site there is NO solicitation for business and NO advertising. the only think is that people can register so I can send them emails when I upload a new video. I AM MAKING NO MONEY FROM MY SITE!!!! and that is why people from all over the world follow me!!!

I hope this will convince you to restore my links.

Thank you for your cooperation. Eran2000

You don't need me to do the restorations, but I have taken care of them anyway, based on your explanations. I still can't get the videos to play smoothly. I prefer not to be involved further. Please see my note below regarding signing your messages on talk pages. Best wishes, Hertz1888 (talk) 18:50, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

thank you Hertz1888 Eran2000

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button or located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment.
