Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Yolandi Visser has been reverted. Your edit here to Yolandi Visser 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://www.https://www.facebook.com/groups/Die.Antwoord.World.Wide.Fans/) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. 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) 07:01, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

Your Edits on Yolandi Visser, etc.
Greetings, You really need to read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:An_article_about_yourself_isn%27t_necessarily_a_good_thing  and the articles they link to on wikipedia policies. Most of the edits you're making to Yolandi's article are going to wind up being reverted. This is not to say that you can't get changes made, you can, but you need to follow wikipedia policies and good practices. I certainly agree that the article can benefit from a better picture, however, it needs to be one that is in the public domain, and is up to date, you can read about the requirements and submitting photos here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Uploading_images As far as her birthday goes, basically most things on Wikipedia need to be referenced from reliable sources and the reason why her birthday is given as March 3rd, 1984 is because that is what it says in this article: http://www.dazeddigital.com/music/article/23706/1/yo-landi-visser-dark-star  Part of the problem here is that due to the habit of Yolandi and Ninja to be, shall we say, creative in telling their story and creating an atmosphere around their artistic projects, this is a little more difficult than with the typical article to get things accurately represented. One thing that you can get to them that would really help with editing the related wikipedia pages is for them to have a list of all the articles in media both traditional and online about them with the links all in one place. That will make it easier for the wikipedia editors to cite reliable sources and keep the articles complete and accurate as best as possible. Centerone (talk) 08:17, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
