Your Tumblr link
Hello. WP:LINKSTOAVOID #11 says not to link to "Blogs, personal web pages and most fansites, except those written by a recognized authority" - this is why your link is being deleted from the Pareidolia article. --McGeddon (talk) 16:32, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

Help me!
I don't understand why my work, which is all about pareidolia, cannot be shown on Wikipedia. It's not like I'm making any money off of it. Just a way of showing how amazing our planet is. Guess you have a problem with that. Please help me with...

 * Hi: Unfortunately you have published the material on Tumblr. You would need to achieve some recognition for your work - such as having an article published in a national magazine, or being featured in a major online publication such as Salon, for it to be a valid link in an encyclopedia. I see someone has explained this at teh top of this page, and also in the edit summary the second time you were reverted. Sorry, but although anyone can edit here, we only cite and link to reliable sources. Yngvadottir (talk) 17:19, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
