User talk:Bettermanningham

January 2009
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page City of Manningham has been reverted. Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam 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. The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): rule: '\bblog(?:cu|fa|harbor|mybrain|post|savy|spot|townhall)?\.com\b' (link(s): http://www.bettermanningham.blogspot.com/). If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, or similar site, 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 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!

Re: Blog Link

 * Councilman Reid, without actually confirming your identity, please read our policies and guidelines here on Wikipedia. We have a specific point regarding placing blog external links (even in its best intentions - please read WP:NOTMYSPACE, WP:NOT, and since you are posting information/links about yourself, please also refer to our policies regarding conflict of interest and neutrality - WP:NPOV and WP:COI.  I understand your frustration and hope that after reading how Wikipedia works and what standards we as a community inspect and correct information that you will understand why the links were removed.  The vandalism message is a standardized message that is sent via an anti-vandalism program called Huggle.  The degree of vandalism is not measured, but the severity of the message increases every time a user repeatedly offends.  I hope you have an enjoyable weekend.  (This is a repost from my talk page.  Any further correspondence regarding this issue should be held on my talk page.  Thanks.)   - Jameson L. Tai   talk  ♦  guestbook  ♦  contribs  21:57, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
