Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Reverend Gadget has been reverted. Your edit here to Reverend Gadget 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=mOx5uCufB2Q, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztddOCkAir0, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRbrM540Rwc, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONvCsos2T0Q) 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. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 19:35, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

I'm new to Wikipedia, so need some guidance on how to proceed. I think my external links are all correct, relevant, and not copyright violations. They are press related to the subject of the article, and add useful clarification. BTW, I am planning to clean up the content of the main article as well, as it is many years out of date, but wanted to be sure I understood the editing guidelines first. That is why I started with these External Links. What are my next steps?
 * The only links that were an issue were the YouTube links. I have re-added the others. You might wish to read about how to references articles before improving it, see WP:REFB for a good guide. CaptainEek  Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 18:38, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
