Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Columbia College Hollywood has been reverted. Your edit here to Columbia College Hollywood 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 (http://youtube.com) 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. a sound or video file) 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) 01:21, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Columbia College Hollywood with this edit. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate may links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Breawycker (talk to me!) 01:34, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Columbia College Hollywood logo.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Columbia College Hollywood logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 08:29, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

Barnes & Noble
Hi. Welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for working to improve the site with your edit to Barnes & Noble, as we really appreciate your participation. However, the edit had to be reverted, because Wikipedia cannot accept unsourced material or original research. This includes material lacking cited sources, or obtained through personal knowledge or unpublished synthesis of previously published material. Wikipedia requires that all material added to articles be accompanied by reliable, verifiable (usually secondary) sources explicitly cited in the text in the form of an inline citation, which you can learn to make here.

In addition, please do not remove relevant wikilinks from the See also section of articles without a valid, policy-based rationale for doing so, as you did here. As indicated by WP:SEEALSO, the See also section is for related or similar articles that are not already mentioned in the article text. Since Amazon is a similar or relevant site that is not mentioned in the article body, including it in the Sa section is reasonable. The converse is not the case because Barnes & Noble is mentioned in the body of the Amazon.com article.

Lastly, please use specific time references, and not vague or dated words or phrases like "recently", which may be unclear to readers, as indicated by WP:DATED.

If you have any other questions about editing, or need help regarding the site's policies, just let me know by leaving a message for me in a new section at the bottom of my talk page. Thanks. :-) Nightscream (talk) 05:12, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
