Hello, Markr60. I saw your contributions and want to welcome to you the free encyclopedia anyone can edit.

Thank you for joining our community and becoming a Wikipedian. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

If you need help, see Wikipedia:Questions or our tutorial. Last but not least, the five pillars of Wikipedia explain what we're all here to do.

Happy editing! XLinkBot (talk) 14:34, 18 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hello! I'm a bot created by another Wikipedia editor. I wanted to let you know that I removed a link that you recently added to the page Bliss (novel) here. I did this because http://printedshadows.wordpress.com/2011/11/17/peter-careys-first-novel is probably inappropriate for an encyclopedia.

We appreciate your help in making Wikipedia better for everyone. If I made a mistake, feel free to undo my edit. If you have any questions, you can ask at the Help desk.

Thank you! --XLinkBot (talk) 14:34, 18 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page David Ireland (author) do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia.  
I did this because http://printedshadows.wordpress.com/2011/11/15/a-plethora-of-women-david-ireland-city-of-women-allen-lane-1981/ is probably inappropriate for an encyclopedia.

  Hello, I'm XLinkBot. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to the page Robert Harris (poet), because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links.  
Your edit here to Robert Harris (poet) 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://p76issue1.wordpress.com/2012/08/22/robert-harris-the-snowy-mountains-highway/, http://p76issue1.wordpress.com/2012/08/22/robert-harris-a-poet-at-numbugga-answers-his-mail/) 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) 10:47, 25 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
