Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Holmfirth has been reverted. Your edit here to Holmfirth 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 (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Holmfirth-Whats-On-Calendar/147443375345546) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. 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.

Please refrain from placing a lInk to a commercial website and removing the offical Kirklees council website link. Advertising websites, ie ones promoting accommodation and restaurants etc, they are not permitted on wikipedia. Richard Harvey (talk) 15:44, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

The councils new website (which I altered the link to as the previous one on Wikipedea was dead) also contains linke to accommodation, shops, places to eat etc, and contains links to our website, as it is trusted by Kirklees as an external link. The site in non profit, the advertising is for running costs only. The new website is supported fully by Kirklees, Holme Valley Parish Council and the Holme Valley Business Association. I personally received the Community Champions award for the work involved to gain tourist to the area. Its not a commercial site. If you need any contacts at any areas please contact me, as I can confirm all of these on request. Many thanks. Kerry


 * The website we are trying to link onto wikipedia is a non commercial site, the advertisers are there to held fund the site, which is well know by Kirklees, Parish Council, and the Holme Valley Business Asssociation. The site Holmfirth.org. You are welcome to speak to Jess Newbold at Kirklees, anyone at the Parish Council, or Ian Gooch of the Business Association to confirm the details. I myself won the Holme Valley Parish Councils Community Champions award for all my volunteer work in running the website (you can see this on their website too!)

The website is www.holmfirthevents.co.uk, which is updated daily with events in Holmfirth, plus places to shop, eat, do and much more, and is the only site with up to date information held.

Your non reversal therefore of the link to help tourist and local alike, would be really appreciated.

Thank you

 * Hi Kerry, I understand your intent, unfortunately a website that promotes other business by advertising is by definition a commercial website. It is not permitted on Wikipedia. If you replace it back on the article an admin will inevitably block your editing access and move the Website to the black list, which like your Face book entry above will then automatically be deleted by a bot automatically. Additionally as a person involved with the website the wikipedia Conflict of interest criteria also applies. Richard Harvey (talk) 16:07, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi Richard, many of the sites on Wikipedia contain sponsor/advertisers links, so can you also please remove:- "Holmfirth Film Festival" as it contains advertising links to shops and business in Holmfirth, "Thongsbridge Cricket Club" has advertising on the homepage of their website. "VirtualHuddersfield" is also a for profit site, so please remove the arial view of Holmfirth link "Holmfirth Arts fesival" contains links to sponsors/advertisers (http://holmfirthartsfestival.co.uk/funders/) "Holmfirth Art Week" contains links to sponsors/advertisers (including Holmfirth Events") - http://www.holmfirthartweek.org.uk/about/ Holmfirth Choral Society - contains links to sponsors/advertisers at the bottom of the site - http://www.holmfirth.org.uk/ These too break the rules as stated above, although are too not for profit organisations. I await your further editing of the site.

Also can you change this sentense "The printing works on Station Road has now been converted into residential flats." as the building still remains untouched, and is derelict, as I am a board of people trying to get this building back on track! Many thanks,

Please also delete the Kirklees website, as that breaks these rules "unfortunately a website that promotes other business by advertising is by definition a commercial website. It is not permitted on Wikipedia." This contains shops, entertainment, retaurants etc, so has the same rule applied Thank youKerrySykes (talk) 17:00, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

It appears that you are catching on. Do not add any more links to your web site. If you add another link you will be blocked indefinitely from editing. If you have questions, you can ask them here. -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 19:36, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
