Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page World government 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: '\byoutube\.com' (link(s): http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=D477A2B2D899F0D0). If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. an image or 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. 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. 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!

South African general election, 2009
Multiple editors disagree that http://www.worldvoting.net/c/south-africa/ is relevant. That is the established consensus. You may also want to see WP:3RR. 9Nak (talk) 17:23, 22 April 2009 (UTC)


 * [[Image:Nuvola apps important.svg|25px]] You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Zaian (talk) 18:21, 22 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Let me explain further. The link you have added is not notable. Online polls may or may not be a great concept, but this one is not notable enough for inclusion on Wikipedia. So far it has attracted a total of 15 votes. See also WP:External Links, WP:Conflict of interest and WP:Spam if you need further information on Wikipedia policy.

The nutshell of External links reads notes that external links "... should be kept minimal, meritable, and directly relevant to the article.". This qualifies on all 3 counts. It is certainly far beyond a mere online poll and intriguing in and of itself. Referencing the number of votes counted is a logical fallacy. Since I've stumbled across the site, and adding it to wikipedia the number of votes has increased by literally 100's of %. Lets leave it up for the moment.
 * It's not meritable - it's an unknown online poll with very few participants. It's not directly relevant - an online poll has no particular relevance to the election. You seem determined to ignore the advice of other editors, and you are now very determinedly in violation of WP:3RR. Zaian (talk) 18:55, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I have reported your reverts to Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring. Sorry to bring in the heavy artillery like that, but you have bene warned, reverted by several independent editors, and referred to the relevant policies, without any sign that you are open to persuasion.

 * [[Image:Stop x nuvola with clock.svg|40px|left]] You have been blocked from editing for  in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for violating the three-revert rule. Please be more careful to discuss controversial changes or seek dispute resolution rather than engaging in an edit war. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text  below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first.  The duration of the block is 24 hours. Here are the reverts in question. William M. Connolley (talk) 19:13, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
