Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Masonic conspiracy theories has been reverted. Your edit here to Masonic conspiracy theories 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://facebook.com/freemasonrywatch) 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. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 04:56, 21 May 2018 (UTC)

Hello, I'm XLinkBot. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added to Masonic ritual and symbolism have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links.

Your recent editing history at Masonic conspiracy theories shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

 * Nope. Your the one being biased and malicious. Stop deleting the external link you removed with no justification. WT:3RR

 * Nope. You are the one engaged with an an agenda. Stop deleting the external link I added. You are the one making trouble. I made a contribution the link adds relevant information to the article. Why are you editing pages about Freemasonry as your history shows? Do you have some interest in the topic? I didn't appreciate your personal attack either. WP:CIVIL Lastman8-12 (talk)`

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Anti-Masonry. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Your edit here to Anti-Masonry 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://facebook.com/freemasonrywatch) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia.

 * You keep making the same error. The link adds relevent content to the article and is on topic unlike your deletions. WP:UNDO WP:CIVIL WP:3RR with no consensus.

FYI: Freemasonerywatch Suggestion
The site Freemasonerywatch in all it's guises is placed on the list of external links that are not permitted on English Wikipedia, and have been for a decade or more. That is why XLinkBot keeps removing it, so talking to the bot is pointless. I would also suggest that you read up on WP:CIVIL and WP:AGF before editing further on Wikipedia, as well as trying to build consensus before editing articles, especially after you have been repeatedly reverted by several other editors and automated bots.

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for advertising or promotion. From your contributions, this seems to be your only purpose. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:.
