November 2014[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 Whanganui has been reverted.
Your edit here to Whanganui was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links in references which are discouraged per our reliable sources guideline. The reference(s) you added or changed (http://www.3news.co.nz/nznews/gang-patch-ban-bill-about-to-be-passed-2013080705) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia.
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) 07:37, 5 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't be discouraged by the message above. There was nothing wrong with your edit, but this bot is on the watch for an editor who used to spam links to 3news presumably to promote their website. You can probably find another source if you want to make the edit again.-gadfium 20:49, 5 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Care to join the Wiki Wednesday project?[edit]

Hi there! I've set up a Wikipedia project for Whanganui Wiki Wednesday, to help us coordinate articles to work on. Feel free to add your username to the Members section, check out the list of articles to create and stubs that need expanding, and add your own suggestions. Drop me a line on my talk page if you have any questions. Hope to see you at the next Wiki Wednesday! Giantflightlessbirds (talk) 01:44, 16 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

June 2023[edit]

Hello, I'm Adakiko. I noticed that you made an edit to a biography of a living person, Stephen Berry (politician), but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. Wikipedia has a strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Adakiko (talk) 09:06, 24 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
