Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Emma Blackery has been reverted. Your edit here to Emma Blackery 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=_7LOSmmmpgY) 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) 14:12, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

Learn how to edit before editing
Hi. I see you're new to editing. Wikipedia has a lot of rules about what content may be added and how it has to be sourced. I assume you're looking at other articles to learn these things rather than read our official guidance. That doesn't work because most articles on Wikipedia are crap. Please take time to read WP:V, WP:GNG, WP:RS, and WP:EL as well as the hundreds of other pages that explain how Wikipedia works.

I totally understand you're excited to write about Gerard Groves, Emma Blackery, and others. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, though, and we are not interested in being a platform for you to have fun writing. You'll see that I cut alot of content from the article about Groves because it wasn't cited to reliable, independent sources. This is a must. I'm sorry to dampen your enthusiasm but I encourage you to learn about how we write the encyclopedia before continuing to participate here. Chris Troutman ( talk ) 14:41, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi Chris, thanks for the guidance. I really appreciate your help! I'm taking a look through more guidelines and reading how to properly write here. I want to make sure I don't disrupt the balance here. Thanks for helping me with the Groves article, excited to inform and educate the world! Jerry springs (talk) 00:03, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Gerard Groves


The article Gerard Groves has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern:
 * No evidence of any notability. Most seems to be self puffery with the same press releases featuring in at least two sources. Own YouTube refs count for nothing. It appears to be someone who has apeared on radio and has talked to a famous actor. This looks very much like self publicity. Fails WP:GNG

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
