H.G.Milliner's Talk Page[edit]

Welcome to my talk page. Please adhere to the talk page guidelines and particularly the following:

Please post your new topic at the bottom of this page.
Please sign and date your entry by inserting "~~~~" at the end.
Please specify a descriptive "Subject/headline" for a new topic and separate subtopics by ===heading=== lines, if needed.
Please indent your posts with one more ":" than what you are replying to, i.e. begin with ":" if replying to an existing topic and "::" if replying to a reply.

I will generally respond here to comments that are posted here, rather than replying via your Talk page (or the article Talk page, if you are writing to me here about an article), so you may want to watch this page until you are responded to, or specifically let me know where you'd prefer the reply.

February 2009[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 Oborona 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): \bwordpress\.com (links: http://olegkozlovsky.wordpress.com/2008/12/22/omon-riot-police-beats-protesters-in-vladivostok/).

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) 12:59, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hg comments: This is ridiculous. You approve Russian language links readers can not, by and large, understand - but not English language links, which most can. I thought this was meant to be an an English language 'encyclopaedia'.— Preceding unsigned comment added by H.G.Milliner (talk • contribs)

~~I should first point you to our conflict of interest guideline, though~~ I think you are right. Wordpress.com blogs are very often (in most of the cases) inappropriate, and therefore automatically reverted when added by new and IP users. I will revert the edit, as per bot suggestion "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." Thanks, and happy editing. --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 10:13, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
