Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Felipe Jesus Consalvos has been reverted. Your edit here to Felipe Jesus Consalvos 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.dazeddigital.com/blog/article/16844/1/tabaquero-collage) 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) 21:30, 18 September 2013 (UTC) If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make the edit, please ignore this notice.

Hello, I'm XLinkBot. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added to List of cyberpunk works have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Your edit here to List of cyberpunk works was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links in references which are discouraged per our reliable sources guideline. The reference(s) you added or changed (http://www.dazeddigital.com/artsandculture/article/15040/1/the-desert-of-the-unreal/) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. 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.

Seriously, Ronhjones, you are blocking an IP at the Art Institute of Chicago, for adding links to scholarly descriptions in a catalogue of works in their own collection? Quite bizarre. Theramin (talk) 22:43, 5 May 2017 (UTC)

Well, this is all a bit disappointing: we are rejecting links to high-quality scholarly sources as "spam", and blocking further contributions from what our own article calls "one of the oldest and largest art museums in the United States". Let us hope that interested editors spot the addition and removal of links to the new materials and weave them into the relevant articles. For what it is worth, I'm grateful for the addition at Paris Street; Rainy Day, and I am sorry this IP has been treated so badly. Theramin (talk) 01:58, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
