Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page University of Huddersfield 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/pages/University-of-Huddersfield/174581412566897?ref=ts, http://www.facebook.com/pages/University-Campus-Barnsley/171278706236160, http://www.facebook.com/pages/University-Campus-Oldham/147189145330228, http://www.facebook.com/UoHinternational?v=app_7146470109, http://www.facebook.com/pages/University-of-Huddersfield-Alumni-Society/168338049873840. 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) 12:25, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

University of Huddersfield
Hi there CWainmoo. I note you've made some changes to this Wikipedia article and in particular, that you've uploaded several related images to the Wikipedia sister project Wikimedia Commons. Since I assume images like File:UCOExternal.JPG will belong to the University, it might be useful if you could confirm whether you work for the University and are authorised to release their images under the relevant free licences? Thanks. Adambro (talk) 13:54, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

Hello Adambro. I am employed by the University and have indeed been given authorisation to release these images under the relevant licence. I'm a bit confused by the removal of the Facebook links though as these are official University pages. Is it the number of them that is an issue or something else? Cheers.

 * Okay thanks for the clarification. On the Facebook links, External links specifies the Wikipedia guidelines for links in articles. As is explained in the "Official links" section, "Wikipedia does not attempt to document or provide links to every part of the subject's web presence or provide readers with a handy list of all social networking sites". Whilst the links to Facebook are likely to be useful to some, they are unlikely to provide any further information about the University to what is provided by the article itself and the University's main website.
 * To avoid any further queries regarding the images, it would be helpful if you could send an email from your University email address to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org, stating your username (CWainmoo) and that you are authorised to upload images on behalf of the University. That email will then be filed in Wikimedia's email system so it can then be referred to in case anyone else is unsure about the situation here. As I'm sure you can appreciate, Wikipedia/Wikimedia has to take copyright laws very seriously and so we as a community try to take steps to ensure we're not hosting content without the appropriate permission. Thanks for your help. Adambro (talk) 14:19, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

This is no problem. I will send the email now. Thanks for your assistance and I do indeed understand how vital it is to ensure that content is legitimately uploaded to Wikipedia. Thanks again. CWainmoo (talk) 14:37, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
