Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Stefan Molyneux has been reverted.
Your edit here to Stefan Molyneux 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 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kdnmT_7gLE) 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 media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original.
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) 14:42, 27 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Hi WikiFan, you can't link to webpages that are used in part to sell books. Please don't do that again. Thanks. -- Somedifferentstuff (talk) 17:45, 3 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for your comment. Please clarify what you mean. What Wikiarticle are you referring to? Also, it is important to provide references for all content to ensure the content is accurate and verifiable.
For books, it is sometimes difficult to find online references other than Amazon.com or the author's website. Obviously, a poor reference is better than no reference.
Do you have any suggestions regarding where to find 'better' references than the ones I am using.
Your comments are welcome and appreciated. WikiFan11427 (talk) 17:52, 3 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
Ooops. I just notices the title of your comment. Please disregarding my question about what article. What references would you like me to use? WikiFan11427 (talk) 17:57, 3 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
Books are different, just give the ISBN# and year published, you don't need a live link. -- Somedifferentstuff (talk) 18:09, 3 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
Thank you for the suggestion. Where can I find the ISBM#? WikiFan11427 (talk) 18:10, 3 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
Generally you can find the ISBN# on Google books. Here is an example: [1] - For this one you would use the ISBN starting with 978. Here is the Wiki article that explains formatting: Wikipedia:ISBN -- Somedifferentstuff (talk) 08:53, 4 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

May 2018

  Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Tommy Robinson (activist), it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Bennv3771 (talk) 15:52, 26 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hi. I understand you are trying to provide background for readers by citing those other court decisions, but those cases are not directly related to Tommy Robinson, and per WP:OR: "To demonstrate that you are not adding OR, you must be able to cite reliable, published sources that are directly related to the topic of the article, and directly support the material being presented."
