Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia. I have just changed your addition to Industrial Revolution because of the external links policy, particularly item 1: adds nothing that we don't have (or should have when the article has reached the "featured" standard) here. I see you have made a few edits like this and I expect that some more of them will be reverted in the same way. Please don't be put off by this: stick with it! All the best. --Old Moonraker (talk) 06:26, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

 * I have rolled them all back - a couple dozen links to Encarta articles about the article topic. Please don't add any more, they are not appropriate links. - DavidWBrooks (talk) 21:52, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
