June 2012[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 Plane Driven PD-1 Roadable Glastar has been reverted.
Your edit here to Plane Driven PD-1 Roadable Glastar 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=YvM7hPkLppw) 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. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 01:56, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Help Me[edit]

I made several edits pertaining to correcting the model name of aircraft referenced, and it's airspeed. I added a link to a YouTube video, similar to one that was already referenced, the new one was of the aircraft in a new configuration. I also added a link to the company's website, who created the aircraft, similar to how other wiki pages have links to manufacturers of the item being described. Why is it so easy for someone to delete, someone else's work, apparently without even knowing anything about the subject? How do we get this page corrected with accurate information?

Per the spiel about not making external links. I updated Plane Driven PD-1 base names to Glasair Sportsman and the cruise speed to 122 knots, without changing or adding any external links. I did delete a link which went nowhere. I could have updated the link to the actual original reference, but all my edits would be removed if I added a new link, so less than best.
