Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Lol Coxhill 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: '\byoutube\.com' (link(s): http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=hGg9H58nIlY). If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. an image or a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy and therefore probably should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file. 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 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!

A message from a non-bot
You picked up a few messages yesterday from robot script programs, so maybe it's time to get a message from a human! I noticed the above messages, claiming that your edits adding the Lol Coxhill website were "minor changes with obscenities". I'm not sure what pattern gave them that idea, but I reported it as a false positive, so I hope it won't recur. That said, some of the edits would probably have been reversed by someone anyway, as there is a desire to avoid the danger of Wikipedia turning into a gigantic farm of links to external sites. And YouTube is one particular example which tends to get reversed.

Anyway, it would be good if you can add some more detailed expansions - for example the Lol Coxhill article itself is rather short on a long, varied and interesting career, so any further information would be good? (This summer, an old friend and I have both separately acquired the "Echoes of Dunedin" CD and been surprised how good and fresh it sounds - and brings back memories of the Coxhill-Fitzgerald concerts in Edinburgh and Glasgow that summer.)
