Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Breaker Morant 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): rule: 'geocities\.com' (link(s): http://www.geocities.com/breaker.morant). If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, or similar site, then please check the information on the external site thorougly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creators 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. 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!

The link to http://www.geocities.com/breaker.morant/ which was reverted is regarded as the only internet source on the controversial Breaker Morant history which represents the South African evaluation of his actions and character. All the other webesites represent the Australian point of view, which is rather partisan and sympathetic towards Morant. This link is based on extensive studies of the South African archival sources on the Morant affair, which were hitherto not consulted by any of the Australian historians, specifically because most of it is in the Afrikaans language. For a balanced view of the Breaker Morant saga, I regard it as essential that the revert be undone.

Image source problem with Image:HBThom .jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:HBThom .jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 17:57, 11 August 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. J Milburn (talk) 17:57, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

The photo comes from the archical files of Stellenbosch University and it was originally taken by the photographer Colin Lockley. His total collection of negatives were purchased by Stellenbosch University in 1990 who placed all the photos in the public domain. The said photo can be viewed at http://www.lib.sun.ac.za/Archive/Archive.exe?MenuItem=ViewImage&ImageName=lockley_05945.jpg

Hello, I'm Grayfell. I noticed that you made a change to an article, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.
