Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Dance on a Volcano has been reverted. Your edit here to Dance on a Volcano 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=oVeBR-hOTlo) 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. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 05:24, 22 January 2017 (UTC)

Nomination of Mad Man Moon (Genesis song) for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Mad Man Moon (Genesis song) is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Mad Man Moon (Genesis song) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.

A further note - I've been a Genesis fan for several decades and indeed have improved several related articles to good article status (including Selling England by the Pound, A Trick of the Tail and Duke). What you're doing is a typical newbie error of assuming every song the band has ever recorded needs an article - it doesn't. Because of the neutral point of view policy, Wikipedia content has to be written and balanced towards the typical layman reader who may not be a particularly big fan of rock music generally, let along Genesis, or may think that We Can't Dance is the greatest album ever.

What this boils down to is that holding a deletion debate is not the end of the world, or a slight on your editing whatsoever, we just need to nudge you in a different direction. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  17:59, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
