Please do not replace Wikipedia pages with blank content. Blank pages are harmful to Wikipedia because they have a tendency to confuse readers. If it is a duplicate article, please redirect it to an appropriate existing page. If the page has been vandalised, please revert it to the last legitimate version. If you feel that the content of a page is inappropriate, please edit the page and replace it with appropriate content. If you believe there is no hope for the page, please see the deletion policy for how to proceed. William Avery (talk) 21:55, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up! I am redirecting everything to EnglishCafe and additional content to abide by your standards.

The copyright is not in violation as I am the author of that content. I am sending an email to the appropriate channel now. Jimstroud (talk) 02:26, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

I have a note on the very page being cited as a violation, thus proving that it is not as I am the author. Jimstroud (talk) 02:30, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

See http://www.englishcafe.com/node/3405 where I added a note at the bottom of the post. Jimstroud (talk) 02:33, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Englishcafe, did not appear to be constructive and has been automatically reverted by ClueBot. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you believe there has been a mistake and would like to report a false positive, please report it here and then remove this warning from your talk page. If your edit was not vandalism, please feel free to make your edit again after reporting it. The following is the log entry regarding this warning: Englishcafe was changed by Jimstroud (u) (t) redirecting article to non-existant page on 2009-02-06T01:28:52+00:00. Thank you.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page EnglishCafe has been reverted.

Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam 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. The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): \babout\.com\b (links: http://esl.about.com/).

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 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) 01:47, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
