Hello, I'm Charlesdrakew. I wanted to let you know that I removed an external link you added to the page South Downs Way, because to me it seemed inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you.

Hello Charles,

Thanks for the notification. I presume by editing this page you will be notified of the reply. I thought my page on the South Downs Way including photos and video was quite informative to readers who might be considering the cycling trip. I haven't seen any videos on YouTube as yet which give detailed information about what to expect day-by-day along the trail. Granted it is a personal journal, and there appears to be one journal link on there already, but I'd like to think that I have captured it in sufficient detail and quality to be interesting the the general masses. Maybe you disagree and I'll respect that. Today is the first time I have added links on Wikipedia so I'll be interested to see the general outcome of this page edit approval process.

Regards, Darrell
 * Hi Darrell. I respect that you were acting in good faith and your site is a good one. It is just against Wikipedia policy to link to self-published sites which are effectively blogs. There is a link to the policy page in the above notification.--Charles (talk) 23:03, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
