I lead the Australian Aboriginal Astronomy Project and I do not know why you keep insisting on altering or deleting the links on that page. The links are to individuals in the Project at various universities. The link to the blog is not new - it was established nearly two years ago by me for the project as an outreach tool for the public. Stop deleting the link and my updates There is not one person in the world that knows this project better than I.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Duane W. Hamacher (talk • contribs)

Transepidermal water loss

• Dear XLinkBot,

a bit heavy handed on the above article? 78.145.254.203 (talk) 18:27, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

Dear IP, no, that is not heavy handed. It is not the official link of the subject, it is just an external wiki, which is discouraged per our external links guideline. Actually, I have reverted you again. --Dirk Beetstra 05:32, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

• Dear XLinkBot / Dirk Beetstra (talk) Your interpretation of the first two sentences of the guidelines differs from mine.

"Misplaced Pages articles may include links to web pages outside Misplaced Pages (external links), but they should not normally be used in the body of an article. All external links must conform to certain formatting restrictions. Some acceptable links include those that contain further research that is accurate and on-topic"

would you care to explain how the link is anything other than "further research that is accurate and on-topic" ? 78.147.7.215 (talk) 13:17, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

nine days later ...

would you care to explain how the link is anything other than "further research that is accurate and on-topic" ?? 2.98.209.249 (talk) 12:55, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

You've ignored the "some" in that sentence, and, the remaining ".. information that could not be added to the article for reasons such as copyright or amount of detail, or other meaningful, relevant content that is not suitable for inclusion in an article for reasons unrelated to its accuracy." .. it is a Wiki, which, first of all by the nature of a wiki is not a reliable source - see Misplaced Pages:General disclaimer, and secondly, all of the useful information is suitable, since it is on a wiki, for inclusion on Misplaced Pages. You might want to read through WP:ELNO and see what it says about external wikis, keeping in mind that a wiki of the size of Misplaced Pages is not a suitable reference for itself .. --Dirk Beetstra 05:55, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

• Dear XLinkBot / Dirk Beetstra (talk)

I am not sure i follow you, unless you reject the link because it contains useful information >"and secondly, all of the useful information is suitable, since it is on a wiki, for inclusion on Misplaced Pages" <that should be on Misplaced Pages.

Also, the link you removed was not purporting to be a source for citation

More generally, i agree with you for most topics with a well developed article, and that are not within such a narrow field of knowledge or experience, but when the topic is by its nature close to research at the outer reaches of expression or knowledge, then the wiki process becomes available to further understanding and hopefully in time feed back to the Misplaced Pages article, and thus Misplaced Pages.

or, to put it another way, from the first sentence of Misplaced Pages:General disclaimer > "individuals and groups working to develop a common resource of human knowledge" the link you removed was a potential link for those individuals and groups.

Please reconsider your actions on the Transepidermal water loss article 78.148.159.132 (talk) 10:31, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

No, I did not reject it because it contains useful information. I reject it because it is a wiki, see WP:ELNO, and because it is suitable for inclusion.

And regarding 'a common resource' - thís is the common resource, not a linkfarm of resources of interest for a subject. --Dirk Beetstra 14:47, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

• Dear XLinkBot / Dirk Beetstra,

So, as you appear to have talked yourself round, are you going to undo your initial actions and reinstate the external link that served the page for five years from May 2008 to May 2013 ?

or,

offer a more coherent explanation for your action ?? 2.99.227.221 (talk) 17:06, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

No, see my previous reply. It is a wiki that does not belong there, the information on it can be included and Misplaced Pages is the common resource, not the linkfarm of resources. And that it was there for 5 years is of no matter, there are links, and even pages on Misplaced Pages that are not supposed to be there for a long-long time. --Dirk Beetstra 09:20, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

• Dear XLinkBot / Dirk Beetstra,

The content cannot be included on Misplaced Pages due to Misplaced Pages:NOR

Your apparent lack of understanding the subject has resulted in collaterally damaging beneficial links to what is beyond the scope and reach of Misplaced Pages. Will isolationism make Misplaced Pages and better common resource ? 78.147.14.150 (talk) 14:19, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

OR .. interesting, so we can not include OR, so we have to link to it. Quite benificial indeed, linking to OR. Why again did we not link to Wikis in the first place? --Dirk Beetstra 21:01, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

• Dear XLinkBot / Dirk Beetstra

Sarcasm is unhelpful. I'm going to find somewhere to arbitrate this. 2.96.80.38 (talk) 14:10, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

May I suggest the external link noticeboard? --Dirk Beetstra 14:11, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

Attempt to Add New URL

I am the director of the Breslov Center of NY, under the aegis of Rabbi Koenig, and wanted to update the name and URL of this organization. But I could not because our website is provided by blogspot.com. Is there a way we can do this, in spite of Misplaced Pages's rule not to include blogs on such pages?

Thanks

173.52.249.146 (talk) 03:02, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

If it is the official site, then that is one of the exceptions the bot was telling about on your talkpage, and I would suggest to undo the bot's edit if it reverts you. It will not revert you if you undo the bot-edit. --Dirk Beetstra 08:30, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

please confirm the new text

I am writing on behalf Georgian national post. I confirm that the information that is uploaded is correct and doesn't need any correction.--Sandro Mchedlishvili (talk) 11:37, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

Correct maybe, but not according to our policies/guidelines (see WP:EL). I have removed the facebook and youtube again. --Dirk Beetstra 08:32, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

Link to related video deleted - would like it reviewed and reinstated

I posted a link to a video I made covering the 99% Declaration (http://en.wikipedia.org/99_Percent_Declaration).

I attended their event, and obtained permission from them to use footage from the event. Additionally, I shot my own footage and received permission from all of the interviewees.

Thus, my video is owned by me with all the necessary rights.

Additionally, it's appropriate, because it is one of only a couple of videos showing the event and explaining what happened. The Continental Congress 2.0 was the main event of the 99% Declaration Group, and this video is about that event.

Please review the video and consider reinstating the link.

Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eliothochberg (talk • contribs) 21:55, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

Sorry, but that video is not suitable per our external links guidelines. We are not writing a linkfarm here. --Dirk Beetstra 08:33, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

Kate Wood

{{Help me}} I am trying to change the title name of the page Kate Wood - Kate has changed her name to Kate Magic and this is how she is Known please can you advise how I do this? Also are you allowed to put pictues on Wiki and if so how do you do this? Thanks--Deraw (talk) 08:31, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

Either, the article should be moved (see WP:RFPM, though if the new target does not exist, you can do it yourself) or you create the redirect at 'Kate Magic' directing that page to Kate Wood. Have also a look at the Misplaced Pages:Naming policy, what would be the 'correct' place for the article, and which would be the redirects (don't worry, they can always be swapped if that is decided). Thanks! --Dirk Beetstra 08:42, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

Official Containment Breach Wikia

Hello there. I see you keep changing my edit on the SCP: Containment Breach page, as a good bot should. Please note the wikia I am posting has officially been announced by game creator Regalis (seen here).If you could change the link the correct one, it'd be appreciated! --67.158.156.228 (talk) 07:49, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for your question. I have looked, and removed both wikis. That it is an official Wiki does not mean that it also needs to be there, the official site is there, that is enough, and the other wiki is (besides being a wiki), an indirect link as well. See WP:ELOFFICIAL and WP:ELNO for more information. --Dirk Beetstra 08:39, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

Is it prohibited to place links to anybody's, particularly Karapet Rubinyan's Facebook or YouTube pages in his/her biography page in Wiki?

I want to place links to YouTube and Facebook pages from Karapet Rubinyan article, but it seems impossible because your invasion.

Karapet Rubinyan (talk) 15:47, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

Yes, it is. Please see WP:ELOFFICIAL, WP:ELNO and WP:NOT#LINKFARM. You might also want to look at our conflict of interest guideline. Thanks! --Dirk Beetstra 09:18, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

external links

I need to add 2 external links in a line on the Orangeburg, SC city page but each time I add the line they hilite in red then eventually are removed. Listed below is the statement with the 2 external links I am trying to add...

• Jerry Axson: Songwriter, Singer, Musician and keeper of the website Local Music Scene Orangeburg

Can you help me? I know these are Facebook pages but they are all I have to link to. Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shymbeebymbee (talk • contribs) 19:31, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi, thank you for your question. What you were actually adding was:

*: Songwriter, Singer, Musician and keeper of the website ]

Not:

* ]: Songwriter, Singer, Musician and keeper of the website ]

Indeed, lonesomedogmusic.com is a redirect site for a facebook.

If you do not use the link to the facebook, but an internal link, all will be fine (also see our external links guideline regarding in-line external links and links to facebook pages).

Regarding the whole line .. if Jerry Axson has only a facebook as its main page, is that person notable enough to be mentioned on Misplaced Pages? Has the person been mentioned in significant independent sources? --Dirk Beetstra 06:03, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

External link

Hello,

I would like to ask that i try to add an external site and my post deleted! The site is Jsfnet Greece, the greek website of Jeux Sans Frontieres programm and is the first site which created about that programm, but is hosted in a free host! the link is http://jsfnet.webs.com i dont know why me edit deleted!

All the best — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jsfnetgreece (talk • contribs) 11:08, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

H! Thanks for your post. Your link was deleted, because it does not comply with our policies and guideline. Please see external links guideline - we are not writing a linkfarm, we are trying to write an encyclopedia. I hope this explains. --Dirk Beetstra 11:13, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

Ok thank you for your reply, i just try not to make a linkfarm, but to add a site which are realative with te article and the majority of the information was founded in that! anyway, thank you again for your replY — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jsfnetgreece (talk • contribs) 11:41, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

Web Accessibility External Link

An external link I've added to Web Accessibility and WAI-ARIA has been deleted. The link is http://itstiredinhere.com/accessibility. It provides the basics of both implementing accessibility and understanding why following the guidelines are important. It's content that's neither covered in the pages' content or within some of the outdated or inaccessible external links already linked from these pages.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Longmatthewh (talk • contribs)

It is a work in progress with personally written documentation, etc. etc. You will see that it fails quite a bit of WP:ELNO, the important part of it can be incorporated in the Misplaced Pages article. I saw this added yesterday, and cleaned all of them. We are writing an encyclopedia here, not a linkfarm. Thanks! --Dirk Beetstra 11:54, 4 July 2013 (UTC)

False positive

I restored an accidentally-deleted references tag to the Handwara article. Elsewhere in the page, a link in a ref tag existed to fallingrain, which is on the blacklist. This resulted in the reverting of my edit. I've removed the actual link to fallingrain, but the check should probably be fixed to only revert if the link in question was actually added in the edit. --71.199.125.210 (talk) 19:21, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
