January 2019[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Lee Ha-jin has been reverted.
Your edit here to Lee Ha-jin 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=4zG7EQkDVdA) 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. music or video) 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.

I just had an edit rejected since it referenced a YouTube video. The page is Ha-Jin Lee, a Korean Go player, who has publicly announced on her YouTube (already cited in the current article) that she has moved to the US. I edited the article to indicate that her current residence is the US. This edit is factually correct, but was rejected, apparently due to the link. How can I edit this article to reflect the correct US residence of Hajin Lee in this article?

I recently edited an article for Ha-Jin Lee to indicate that her residence is now the US. She herself has said so on her YouTube channel which is mentioned in the standing article. This edit is factually correct unless Hajin Lee is posting bogus videos to her YouTube, which seems extremely unlikely -- I don't understand why my edit was rejected.

Her current residence is certainly US, the article needs to be updated.

Thank you for your assistance.

Don't use raw URLs - make it a reference... Use this wikitext...

In her YouTube video<ref>{{cite web |title=Mountain View - Haylee's Live Go 142 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zG7EQkDVdA}}</ref> she announced that she has moved to the United States, living in Mountain View, California.

Hopefully that will work. Ronhjones ^(Talk) 03:53, 20 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict)

Hi, Rob, and welcome to Wikipedia.

Okay, your attempted addition was rejected because it added an external link to the body of the article. External links can appear in only certain places in the article, and never in the body.

A subject's own YouTube videos are a primary source and may be used, but with caution. Videos are harder to verify information from, so when you do cite one as a reference, it's important to use in-source location parameters – such as minutes= or at= – to give the time offset into the video where the relevant information being cited occurs. It's not too big a deal for a short video, but a 1-hour video is way too much to ask a reader to view.

So here are a few things to read before you try your edit again:

I hope this helps. You can also ask questions at the Teahouse. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 04:06, 20 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I think there should be a page for Mobile RPGs (Role-Playing Games), although I am not qualified to create it myself. I see there already exist pages for various individual mobile games, but with the advent of mobile devices, this has become a definite distinct genre of gaming that is separate from the PC or Console... I'm sure there is a Wiki editor out there with sufficient gaming knowledge to create this page, so I want to pose this suggestion...

I am new to Wikipedia, and am not sure if this is the right way to make a suggestion of this kind. Please let me know if this kind of suggestion should be made somewhere else...
