Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Four-day workweek. 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. Thank you. Bbb23 (talk) 13:44, 13 March 2023 (UTC)


 * What external links are you referring to? I've only added links to other Wikipedia pages.
 * Have you undone all my hard work? That took me ages! Manicspoon83 (talk) 13:48, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
 * This website is considered a spamlink on Wikipedia.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:53, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
 * They're a campaign making an argument that is worth sharing so people know why a four-day week is being promoted. Should people not know where the arguments come from? If you can't accept that link, then fine, but that doesn't excuse deleting all my edits. Manicspoon83 (talk) 14:00, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
 * That was just one example of an inappropriate edit. You changed the title of the article in the opening sentence. You removed reliable sources and replaced them with unreliable sources. You cited other inappropriate websites, e.g., this one. You added unsourced material, e.g., about Emperor Constantine. I suggest you learn more about Wikipedia before you tackle something that ambitious.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:11, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I suggest you should provide feedback to someone before deleting everything they did. The article is a mess of inaccuracies and half-cocked ideas. It is the first time I've tried to edit an article, but I thought Wikipedia encouraged collaboration from people. If I made some mistakes, fine, tell me about them rather than just erasing hours of work in one click. I provided the best citations I could - either direct sources to research or the most down-the-line news article on the matter. I can find a citation on Constantine no problem - I missed that one, but was still going through all my changes to make them the best they could be, but was cut short by you. That other "inappropriate" website is a union historian - how is that inappropriate? Manicspoon83 (talk) 14:28, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
