Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Eddie Francis has been reverted. Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline 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. I removed the following link(s): http://www.windsorcityon.blogspot.com/, http://www.lineosight.blogspot.com/, http://www.myward2.blogspot.com/, http://themayorofmonmouth.blogspot.com/ (matching the regex rule \bblog(?:cu|fa|harbor|mybrain|post|savy|spot|townhall)?\.com\b). 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 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) 16:21, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please create a new account with a username that represents only you. If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may ask for a review of this username block by adding the text below this message. Thank you.

 * No. I think you were blocked for the wrong reason. What triggered this was this edit, where you put what's obviously a pointer to your own blog into an article. You should have been asked to stop doing that instead. Please familiarize yourself with our external links policy as well as our conflict of interest policy to understand why we can't have people linking Wikipedia to their own websites. --jpgordon:==( o ) 01:46, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Question for administrator
I would like to bring your attention to the page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_Francis. The article is not written with a neutral point of view. I followed Wikipedia policy and attempted to edit the article and did so by providing source material. My edit was reversed by a bot and then an administrator blocked my username, of which I am apealing the block. I would also request that the page be deleated or that I may be allowed to edit the page again without the edits being reversed. Thank you. --Lineosight (talk) 01:15, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
 * The block appears to have come from the fact that you added several blog links to an article about a living person and one of them had the same name as your account name.  This gives off the appearance of a conflict of interest. You cannot add blogs as sources for an article, except in some very, very rare instances (see WP:RS).  Does this make sense to you?
