Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page 4 Girls 4 Harps has been reverted. Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://4girls4harps.blogspot.com. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, or similar site, 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) 12:38, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Welcome

 * Please excuse the walls of text above - they were placed there by a mindless bot and I will mute it. I can perhaps translate and highlight the important parts.  My interest in the matter is that I first created the article 4 Girls 4 Harps, having heard their fine work on Melodies for You.  It seems that you are one of these harpists and so I congratulate you upon your talent and success.  However, please be aware that Wikipedia is not a promotional vehicle and so we have a policy about conflict of interest.  Another area of sensitivity is biographies of living people.  To avoid libel and nuisance, content about living people must be of the highest quality and reasonably well supported by independent sources.


 * I shall remove the link to the blog which you have placed as this doesn't seem to add to the link to the main web site which presumably encompasses all such material there. What we need are more links to independent accounts of you and your work - articles in the music press, competition reports &c. If you need any assistance in formatting these, I shall be happy to help and will, in any case, be keeping an eye on the article.


 * You may reply either here or on my talk page by editing these as if they were articles. Note that a signature may added in a standard format by typing four tildes (~} together.
