Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! I edit too, under the username Wknight94. I noticed that you recently added an external link that may have been inappropriate according to our guidelines about linking to other websites. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia written by people like you and me, not a web directory, so we try to make sure articles link to only a few important sites. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks, Wknight94 talk 15:58, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to List of 2011 Cricket World Cup broadcasting rights. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Your edit here to List of 2011 Cricket World Cup broadcasting rights 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://www.onlinecricket420.blogspot.com) 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 blog, forum, free web hosting service, fansite, or similar site (see 'Links to avoid', #11), then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest). 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) 16:14, 30 October 2011 (UTC) If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make the edit, please ignore this notice.
