Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Ursa (comics) 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.facebook.com/UrsaFans. 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.

Will you please stop changing the premiere date to a false one, not to mention the same inaccuracy you added to other pages. Please observe the sources. Voceditenore (talk) 19:43, 4 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Some sources do claim Feb. 5, but you're right, the majority say Feb. 20. Sorry I'm new to wiki and was only trying to contribute. I will make the corrections, unless you have already done so. Peace.

 * Hi Bixby, don't worry, I've made the other corrections. Yes, there are a few very old sources (and general readership books based on them) which give the erroneous February 5th date, but changing a long-standing date in an article without a further check of modern and authoritative sources, e.g. The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians or the Oxford University Press handbooks and histories,  isn't a good idea. Unfortunately, we get a lot of vandals who just pick random articles and deliberately change dates, etc. to wrong ones. Unexplained significant changes without an edit summary are almost inavriably reverted and sometimes good faith editors like you can get caught in the crossfire. So, don't forget to leave an edit summary whenever you edit article. When making a substantive change to a long-standing fact or date, explain briefly why you changed it in your edit summary and it's probably a good idea to mention it on the article's talk page as well. If you ever need any help, just give me a shout on my talk page. All the best, Voceditenore (talk) 08:31, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
