February 2010
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Wellworths (GB) has been reverted. Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIVqiHhwF9k (matching the regex rule \byoutube\.com). If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy and therefore probably should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file. Video links are also strongly deprecated by our guidelines for external links, partly because they're useless to people with slow internet connections. 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) 13:52, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Robin Ince do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. McGeddon (talk) 14:24, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Why not write an article?
Instead of repeatedly posting the same inline link, why don't you put your obvious passion about arts in Dorset to good use and write an article about Dorchester Arts Festival. It looks like it should be notable enough to make a good article - especially if you use 3rd party references which cover the festival. Shout if you need help. --Simple Bob (talk) 10:48, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Take a look at Frome Festival, Bath International Music Festival, and Bath Fringe Festival, which are good examples of a articles about a regional arts festival. --Simple Bob (talk) 11:21, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

 * If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider.
 * Some quick notes: First off, not all of the sources were entirely usable. You listed some of the publisher sites, however those were largely unnecessary given that the other sources already establish the book's existence. Since the publisher also sells the product directly from their website, this kind of treads the fine line of it being a merchant source. In any case, I removed it as an unnecessary link. You also used some self-published sources that aren't really considered to be usable since they don't undergo an editorial oversight that Wikipedia would consider verifiable. I also removed some links that were somewhat superfluous given that there were already other sources that largely discussed the claims and because they were a little hard to see since they were so small. This didn't affect the overall notability though, which was pretty well established by the massive amount of BBC coverage. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  07:21, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

Problem with your custom signature
You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. A change to Wikipedia's software has made your current custom signature incompatible with the software.

The problem: Your preferences are set to interpret your custom signature as wikitext. However, your current custom signature does not contain any wikitext.

The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, or you can fix your signature.


 * Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default:
 * Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
 * Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
 * Remove anything in the text box.  (It might already be empty.)
 * Click the blue "" button at the bottom of the page. (The red "" button will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)
 * Solution 2: Fix your custom signature:
 * Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
 * Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
 * Click the blue "" button at the bottom of the page.

More information about custom signatures is available at Signatures. If you have followed these instructions and still want help, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Signatures. Thank you. 18:02, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
