Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Daniel Reifsnyder has been reverted. Your edit here to Daniel Reifsnyder 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://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIkSe7zzZzs) 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 media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original. 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.

Proposed deletion of Daniel Reifsnyder
Hello, Finlocke. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Daniel Reifsnyder, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:


 * 1) edit the page
 * 2) remove the text that looks like this:
 * 3) save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Recent edit to Evil eye
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Evil eye, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you!

Hi Finlocke, IMDB is not a reference. It is illegal to use it in wikipedia, see Citing IMDb. Please remove it and add proper reference to the ASCAP website. scope_creep (talk) 15:27, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

Hey Scope Creep,

1. The "rules" you linked are, in actuality, a Wikipedia essay, which contains advice rather than actual guidelines. This is according to the article you cited itself, stated right at the top. Further, the IMDB page cited does not contain "anecdotes, trivia, or unreleased film information". The projects listed are easily over 20 years old. IMDB is a common source to view the credits for actors and is generally the "go to" source for many people. There is no other, more credible site that I am aware of. If there is, please shed some light on the subject.

In the bit of research I've done, this seems to be a debatable issue - a grey area in which some fall on one side of the issue and others on another. However, in the interests of not offending your sensibilities, I will amend the page so that IMDB shows up as an external link.

Thankfully, IMDB is not the only reference on the page. Playbill - a credible source - is cited, and I am putting yet another up shortly.

I hope these changes ease your mind.
