Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page IRIN 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): (?<![^\s:])[^\s\]\[\{\}\\\|^\/`<>@:]+@\w+(?!\.htm)(?:\.\w+){1,3} (links: subs@irinnews.org). It appears that you inserted an e-mail address to IRIN. Wikipedia pages should not contain personal information. For more information, please read Wikipedia:Biography of Living People, specifically the section about personal information.

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) 07:44, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Keith, there is a serious problem with the images you uploaded to Commons. There is no evidence that you have the authority to release the rights for the images, which are owned by IRIN and as their website states "Copyright © IRIN 2009. All rights reserved."  I would normally just delete these as a violation of the owner's copyright, but I think you may actually be able to get the rights released.  If you can, please email me from a domain name that proves an affiliation (un or irinnews.org) stating that you have the authority to release the copyright, that you are releasing it to "allow anyone to use it for any purpose, provided that the copyright holder is properly attributed. Redistribution, derivative work, commercial use, and all other use is permitted." and specifying the images you are so releasing, in this case File:IRIN Radio journalist interviewing a woman in Angola.jpg, File:Demonstrators clash with police Nairobi Kenya.jpg, and File:A woman caught in flooding in Hanoi Vietnam.jpg.  I will then sent it to the email ticketing system, where a volunteer will assign it a reference number and archive it to confirm that the licensing appears valid. If you don't send me such an email within a day or two, the images will be deleted. - BanyanTree 12:56, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
