Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Bryant Reeves has been reverted. Your edit here to Bryant Reeves 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=cMhM-8D-Q1o) 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.

Foiled attemts at updating dated and incomplete article. Please help!
To Whom it May Concern:

I am writing from the United Nations Human Rights Office, where I am responsible for the United Nations Free & Equal campaign.

On Friday 19 July, we submitted revisions to the current Wikipedia page on the UN Free & Equal campaign. In place of the existing dated and incomplete text, we proposed a much more detailed one, broken down into sections and fully corroborated with 32 footnotes and full list of open sources. I am unfortunately unable to attach a pdf of the proposed text, as the format is not allowed and the text was removed before we could photograph them (see below).

Within 12 minutes of the edits being made, a Wikipedia editor apparently deleted the changes and reverted the text back to the short, incomplete text that had appeared previously. In addition, the account created for the purpose of making the edits (username: cooper2019) was de-activated by the site, preventing any direct engagement with the editor in question.

We fully understand the need for independent verification and corroboration of material posted on Wikipedia and we support the general approach taken to ensuring this. In this case, the proposed edits to the page were of potential public interest, fully corroborated and supported by relevant footnotes. We also sought to avoid any PR boilerplate, providing neutral information and including, for example, criticism of the campaign where relevant.

In case additional verification or sourcing is required, we would be pleased to make such adjustments as may be requested. We also fully accept the need for any information we might post to be challenged and amended by others with similarly solidly referenced and supported material. But this process cannot be advanced by withholding material on the campaign from the campaign.

The UN Free & Equal campaign itself is of genuine public interest, being the only UN campaign of its kind on LGBTI-related issues and having achieved an unprecedented scale of reach for a UN human rights campaign. We think that it would serve many Wikipedia users well to have more detailed information on the campaign than exists on the present site and therefore hope that you will review the material and restore the proposed text on the site, where it can be accessed -- and if relevant questioned -- by Wikipedia users around the world.

Best, Rikke Hennum
