Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Jacques Rousseau (secular activist) has been reverted. Your edit here to Jacques Rousseau (secular activist) 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 (https://twitter.com/JacquesR) 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 blog, forum, free web hosting service, fansite, or similar site (see 'Links to avoid', #11), then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest). 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) 14:59, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

Jacques Rousseau
Hi Elmarius. I recently tidied up Jacques Rousseau and would like to keep it that way and not attract any unwanted attention or tags re non-neutrality, self-promotion, etc. As per my edit summary, only one official link is allowed. The infobox templates make it clear that it is an either/or choice regarding placing it in either the infobox or the external links section. Helen (talk) 16:48, 19 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi Helen. I will defer to you on this, as you are far more experienced. I can see the logic behind only having one instance of each link; it is superior to my own argument. On the self-promotion issue, are you worried that having multiple links to the website will cause suspicion of self-promotion? Elmarius (talk) 20:36, 19 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Yes this may be seen as WP:LINKSPAM. Helen (talk) 08:35, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
