Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page American Graffiti 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): \bblog(?:cu|fa|harbor|mybrain|post|savy|spot|townhall)?\.com\b (links: http://www.dahuipresents.blogspot.com, http://www.dahuipresents.blogspot.com (redirect from http://www.dahuipresents.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. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other 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) 00:45, 29 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

Please do not add advertising or inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that exist to attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policies for further explanations of links that are considered appropriate. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

  Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did in this edit to American Graffiti. Inappropriate links include links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that serve as advertising or promotion. Thank you. --Rrburke(talk) 01:55, 29 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

 

Please stop. If you continue spamming Wikipedia, you will be blocked from editing. Nakon 01:55, 29 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button   located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 02:22, 29 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

Hello, it seems you're having a frustrating time since you've waded into Wikipedia. XLinkBot left you a welcome at the top which links to the most of our policies, but admittedly this is an overwhelming amount of information. Realistically, it takes something like 4 to 6 hours to scan all of it for key points. The most important are at WP:5P.

Unfortunately, you've stumbled into the Achilles' heel of Wikipedia. For an encyclopedia article to be neutral and balanced, we vigorously remove external links (that is, URLs) to websites which primarily promote or sell products. It is so common to have advertising added, regular Wikipedia editors are downright grouchy if they see someone who only adds external links. We'd much prefer you add useful content to an article, or cite references which can be checked to validate content.

The URL you added (http://www.dahuipresents.blogspot.com) is obviously not advertising, however it isn't particularly relevant to the articles you are adding it to either. See our external links guidelines. —EncMstr (talk) 02:29, 29 April 2009 (UTC)Reply
