Hi, and welcome. I saw your question at the "Teahouse" about html and replied (no you don't need to know html). Alarbus (talk) 07:01, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

Me, again. I just looked at what you've been editing, and you're catching on quickly: I do a lot of work with references, so if you have questions, feel free to ask. Alarbus (talk) 07:07, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page El Rey Theatre has been reverted. Your edit here to El Rey Theatre 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://twitter.com/#!/elreytheatre) 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 blog, forum, free web hosting service, fansite, or similar site (see 'Links to avoid', #11), then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest). 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) 07:56, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Hi, again. I saw the above; your talk page popped up on my watchlist. First, I put the. The bot above means well, but this is part of what we call the editor retention problem. “The rise of the bots” after The Terminator. The Wikimedia Foundation has done don studies and have found that the large number of such messages delivered in an impersonal way has the effect of driving off new editors. By the thousand. See Editor Trends Study. Oh, since that's not part of English Wikipedia, you should go into "my preferences" and select "Manage your global account" to make your account work on all of the projects. A bit more digestible is Wikipedia Signpost/2012-01-02/Interview, an interview with Sue Gardner who is the Executive Director of the Wikimedia Foundation; she's User:Sue Gardner. The Teahouse that you commented at is one of the things that emerged from the editor trends study. This incident would be a good one to bring up at the Teahouse or on User talk:Sue Gardner.
