Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page List of Swindon Supermarine F.C. seasons has been reverted. Your edit here to List of Swindon Supermarine F.C. seasons 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://tims92.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/swindon-supermarine-hunts-copse-ground.html) 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) 20:47, 15 December 2017 (UTC) If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make the edit, please ignore this notice.

Hello. Please stop changing the league name in the honours section. Whilst I would agree with keeping the league name as it was if the club were no longer members, because the club are still in the league, it is confusing for readers to refer to it by a former name in that section. If you still don't agree, please respect WP:BRD and seek consensus for your change either on the article talk page or at WT:FOOTY if you want to bring it to the attention of a wider audience. If you keep edit warring, the article may be locked or you may be blocked from editing. Cheers, Number   5  7  15:00, 17 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Hello again, and thanks for responding rather than carrying on reverting. With regards to your example of Preston, it's not the same thing – the Premier League is a new league, not a renamed Football League.
 * The mention of locking the page or blocking you was not a comment on your proposed changes or on whose opinion is superior, but a comment on the behaviour of repeatedly making the same change. This is WP:Edit warring, and no exception is made, even if the editor doing it is in the right (of course, being 'right' is often subjective too; I have also previously been blocked for doing this). As you may have seen from the WP:BRD link above, the expected cycle of behaviour is (a) someone makes a bold edit (b) someone reverts it (c) the original editor is expected to start a discussion on why they think their change should be made.
 * As suggested above, you may wish to raise the issue at WT:FOOTY if there is no consistency on the issue. Number   5  7  15:39, 17 December 2017 (UTC)
 * The first writer does not supersede any other nor assumed to be correct, but if a change to their work is reverted, the reverter is expected to gain consensus for that change amongst the Wikipedia community; this can be done by raising the issue on the talk page, or at a wider forum such as a WikiProject or via a WP:RfC. If the first editor is clearly wrong, then the community will usually identify that. Number   5  7  16:47, 17 December 2017 (UTC)
