Your recent edit to Baptist edit

Hello. I just reverted your recent edit adding two external links to Baptist. Among other problems, they are way too narrow in focus for an article about Baptists all over the world and through time. Please take a look at WP:EL for more guidance on the limited circumstances in which it is appropriate to add ELs (of course, limited only if added other than as reliable sources. Thanks! Novaseminary (talk) 04:11, 3 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

Please do not add any more external links to Baptist without discussing on the talk page. The latest link you added does not meet WP:EL with respect to this article. It might be appropriate as an official link on an article about that center, though (assuming the center is notable enough for an article). I am going to revert you again. As an alternative, you will notice there is already a link to the relevant directory in the Open Directory Project in the External links section. You can submit all the links you think might be appropriate there. Thanks! Novaseminary (talk) 04:24, 3 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

Soft rock edit

I removed some of your additions because the sources don't talk about soft rock. Please make certain that you are not violating WP:SYNTH by making a connection to the topic when the source itself says nothing about it. Binksternet (talk) 06:05, 16 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

The Byrds or The Turtles are not seminal California mid-60s soft rock? Neil Young's "Heart of Gold" not classic early 70s soft rock? What planet are you on? BlueMesa171 (talk) 06:24, 16 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
I'm just saying it needs to be based on a source for verification. Wikipedia is built on WP:SECONDARY sources, not people writing from memory or writing what they know. And the source should actually talk about the topic. Binksternet (talk) 07:29, 16 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
