The external link(s) you added or changed (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVuAf-0RpTA) 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.

Tomsk
Thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia and to our article on Tomsk. One of your additions included the fact that the first university in Asian Russia was founded in "XIX Century". You may not be aware that centuries are absolutely never given in Roman numerals in English. Centuries are either given in words or in Arabic numerals - "the 19th century" and "the nineteenth century" would both be correct, but not and never "XIX century".

Apparently this isn't taught in English classes in Central and Eastern Europe, so it's not something you might have had the chance to learn. (I've spoken to learned professors who were unaware of this.) Roman numerals are rarely used in the English-speaking world - monarchs, Super Bowls of American football, and old-fashioned clocks are about all we use them for. Otherwise we don't use them, and many people don't know what they mean. Again, thanks for your contributions. --NellieBly (talk) 19:05, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
