September 2008[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 University of Nottingham Halls of Residence has been reverted. Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam 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. The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): rule: '\bblogspot\.com' (link(s): http://ancasterhallexposed.blogspot.com/) . If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, or similar site, 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. 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!

Please do not add content without citing reliable sources, as you did to University of Nottingham Halls of Residence. Before making potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Contact me if you need assistance adding references. Thank you.

The bot that originally reverted your edits linked you to this Wikipedia:Reliable sources which clearly states "Articles should be based on reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy." Your edit made a serious accusation against university staff and students, and a blog even with a disclaimer is not a reliable source and would never be considered one. Wikipedia does not consider tabloid newspapers such as The Sun reliable sources which is read by millions of people a day so one persons say so on a free to set up weblog count as a reliable source. If these accusations were or are published by a reliable source please feel free to add them. You can begin a discussion on the talk page of the article in question to make your case if you so desire. And you can realx, as I have somebody copyedit all pages I make major changes to. In fact I even mention it on my user page! Million_Moments (talk) 19:32, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please can the discussion be brought to Talk:University of Nottingham Halls of Residence where it will be seen by more of the community which will hopefully address your issue of neutrality. Million_Moments (talk) 06:57, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you do not intend to add the link again, there actually isn't any need for a discussion on the articles talk page. However if you still want to content to be included I suggest you make your arguments on the talk page as to why it should be included so a consensus can be reached. Otherwise your edits will continue to be reverted not just by editors but by automated bots such as User:XLinkBot. Million_Moments (talk) 20:25, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why can't these people read and write? Beatlesfan456 (talk) 21:12, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
