[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 Rolex Sea Dweller has been reverted.
Your edit here to Rolex Sea Dweller 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://vintage-db.blogspot.com/2011/10/muscat-oman-state-of-oman-lies-on.html) 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 blog, forum, free web hosting service, fansite, or similar site (see 'Links to avoid', #11), 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. 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) 12:32, 22 October 2011 (UTC) {{help me}}[reply]

I have reverted your edits to the article again. This is an inappropriate link on its face, a commercial website seeking to sell products and not a reliable source, and if you continue to add it you may be blocked from editing. I have nulled your helpme request above also, since you did not ask a question. If you have a question, repost the helpme template below and write out your question. However, if you question is something like "why is the link I am adding being removed", the answer is in the links in the posts above, such as the external links guideline and Links to avoid and others. Have you looked at those pages?--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 16:24, 22 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
