Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Kamunyak has been reverted. Your edit here to Kamunyak 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 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLo9-PEtM8Q) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original. 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) 18:47, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

Please explain why the external links were removed. Mcljlm (talk) 21:55, 28 August 2014 (UTC) 29 August 2014


 * YouTube in general is not a reliable source, and that particular video very likely is a copyright violation, something Wikipedia should not link to. Similarly, Wordpress blogs are not considered reliable sources either because they lack meaningful editorial oversight. "Expert feedback" published on that page has not been subject to anything resembling, say, peer review. Huon (talk) 22:28, 28 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Yes, by all means add the Hebrew University source to Hezekiah. And scholarly articles as they come out.   Sometimes it is useful to have a news source, in cases where other  editors may will argue that a particular addition is "not notable" enough for inclusion.E.M.Gregory (talk) 12:46, 6 December 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I'm GenoV84. I noticed that you recently removed content from Noahidism without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to Noahidism, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. I replied to you and explained the reason for the revert on Talk:Noahidism. GenoV84 (talk) 16:38, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary.

 * One link was broken, the other didn't include the mentioned coin images. I replaced both with a working link leading to a site which includes information and images of both banknotes and coins. That seems constructive. I've added details in the summary. Mcljlm (talk) 06:13, 21 November 2021 (UTC)

Era style
I added "era style" to your heading at temple mount because WP:BCE says ". . . by opening a discussion under a heading using the word era". Hope that's OK, but obviously we don't normally edit other peoples' talk headings so sorry if I got it wrong. Anyway happy editing, I noticed that Temple Mount had a mix of styles last week and we should pick. GordonGlottal (talk) 19:17, 14 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Good idea but as Selfstudier noticed I didn't start the new section. I suppose a mix of styles is inevitable when multiple editors are involved and they don't necessarily look at what's already there. I mentioned a example at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Emmett_Till#Inconsistencies_and_repetitions a couple of days ago. Mcljlm (talk) 20:30, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

When adding links to material on external sites, as you did to J. R. R. Tolkien, please ensure that the external site is not violating the creator's copyright. Linking to websites that display copyrighted works is acceptable as long as the website's operator has created or licensed the work. Knowingly directing others to a site that violates copyright may be considered contributory infringement. This is particularly relevant when linking to sites such as YouTube or Sci-Hub, where due care should be taken to avoid linking to material that violates its creator's copyright. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If you believe the linked site is not violating copyright with respect to the material, then you should do one of the following:
 * If the linked site is the copyright holder, leave a message explaining the details on the article Talk page;
 * If a note on the linked site credibly claims permission to host the material, or a note on the copyright holder's site grants such permission, leave a note on the article Talk page with a link to where we can find that note;
 * If you are the copyright holder or the external site administrator, adjust the linked site to indicate permission as above and leave a note on the article Talk page;

If the material is available on a different site that satisfies one of the above conditions, link to that site instead. Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:36, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Veverve. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added to Septuagint 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. Thank you. Veverve (talk) 09:07, 10 February 2024 (UTC)


 * 2 of my edits added information about the existing links. Why did you delete that?
 * I was uncertain about the Associates for Biblical Research but why did you delete the Encyclopædia Britannica link? Mcljlm (talk) 09:25, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Encyclopædia Britannica is Further reading material, not EL material. Veverve (talk) 09:28, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
 * What about the additional information on the existing links? Mcljlm (talk) 10:03, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I have now removed those links, along with others, for not being good EL material. Veverve (talk) 11:35, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Why are they not good EL material? Mcljlm (talk) 18:18, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Greensleeves
I don't know anything about this topic, but your edit to the talkpage seems to have replaced all the previous content there rather than simply starting a new section. Could you double-check and fix? DMacks (talk) 06:08, 25 March 2024 (UTC)


 * I don't know how that happened . I've managed to restore the previous content manually but couldn't see how to keep 's edit. Mcljlm (talk) 12:49, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
 * No idea the cause, but I've seen that sort of thing happen occasionally. Was your intent simply to add the "Henry VIII (again)" section? I can try to perform some surgery and recover Cewbot's and other details that are still odd. DMacks (talk) 13:09, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
 * In brief, yes. Originally, after discovering Weir cited Starkey {without any mention of a page number} I intended to add that to the Talk section. After finding Holman's chapter had more detail I was going to suggest the article's Starkey citation be changed but then decided to change it myself. It was only after I came across Holman's longer passage - one of the results of a Google search for more sources - that I decided to add that as well.
 * I mentioned you along with other editors who added something to Henry VIII section and are still active on WP. Mcljlm (talk) 16:36, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
