February 2012[edit]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, but at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Redmarshall, did not appear to be constructive and has been automatically reverted (undone) by an automated computer program called ClueBot NG.

Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Note that human editors do monitor recent changes to Wikipedia articles, and administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism.
ClueBot NG makes very few mistakes, but it does happen. If you believe the change you made should not have been considered as unconstructive, please read about it, report it here, remove this warning from your talk page, and then make the edit again.
If you need help, please see our help pages, and if you can't find what you are looking for there, please feel free to place "{{helpme}}" on your talk page and someone will drop by to help.
The following is the log entry regarding this warning: Redmarshall was changed by Ebellamypmouth (u) (t) ANN scored at 0.966109 on 2012-02-08T13:02:02+00:00 . Thank you. ClueBot NG (talk) 13:02, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Before adding wikilinks to articles, please be sure they are appropriate. For example, at Redmarshall you added a link to The Ship, even though the linked page does not mention the ship at Redmarshall. A link to A66 might seem to make sense, but you linked to a disambiguation page, whereas the relevant article is A66 road. It is well worth always previewing a page before saving, and trying clicking on the links you are creating, to make sure that they actually link to something appropriate.

One more that I didn't think to mention earlier. The link to Village was an example of what is referred to as "overlinking". The article linked to does not have any information relating to the particular village referred to in the article. I hope all this does not put you off contributing to Wikipedia. The intention is to help you understand better what is useful, so that you can make your contributions better. JamesBWatson (talk) 16:15, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
