Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Palladium (music venue) 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://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOQq_MHLS44 (matching the regex rule \byoutube\.com). 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 and therefore probably should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file. Video links are also strongly deprecated by our guidelines for external links, partly because they're useless to people with slow internet connections. 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) 17:05, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

New Preston
Great work on expanding the article on the village of New Preston, including a description of the historic district within it. I recently created a redirect from "New Preston Hill Historic District" to the village article but another editor has created a boilerplate stub article instead. It looks to me that a description of the historic district already exists in the village article. Do you think it's better to redirect the historic district article to the village article instead? Thanks again for your work. --Polaron | Talk 00:51, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree, great work! Please consider joining the Connecticut WikiProject! Markvs88 (talk) 14:47, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for the kind words. I'm new to this and am just now noticing your messages (and probably not replying in the proper format). Re: my historic architecture additions, I'd suggest leaving them on the New Preston page because the National Register District is limited to a narrow corridor along New Preston Hill Road, and many of New Preston's historically important buildings are located in the village center and around Lake Waramaug, which are not included in the National Register District -K
 * I agree that discussing all the historic architecture within the context of the New Preston article would be better than having a separate New Preston Hill Historic District article. I'll propose a merge of the newly created article into the New Preston article. --Polaron | Talk 17:00, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Citing sources
Hi. You've added a lot of sources to articles, all (or at least mostly) in the form of bare URLs. Those are better than nothing, but they aren't particularly good as references. See Bare URLs for discussion of some of the reasons why they should not be used. Please start supplying reference details, such as title, author, date, publisher -- the kinds of things that would be required in a traditional school term paper. Without those kinds of details, your contributions are in danger of getting deleted when URLs turn bad -- and other contributors may not even know where to begin to look for the content. --Orlady (talk) 03:50, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

8000 C.E.
You have been adding the date 8000 C.E. to articles in place of statements in the form "about 10,000 years ago." 8000 CE is roughly 6000 years in the future, not 10,000 years ago. Moreover, when talking about something that is dated so vaguely as the approximate arrival of humans in Connecticut, it is over-precision to suggest that this occurred "in about" any specific dated year. Please stop your campaign to insert these dates. --Orlady (talk) 13:53, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
