Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Osiou Gregoriou monastery has been reverted. Your edit here to Osiou Gregoriou monastery 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/playlist?list=PLkBhJSYjnRWWboTcZvkPeFfT-UQoJp9Kz) 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. music or video) 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.

Sorry, but I don't quite understand all of this. Please help. First, were all my corrections and additions to the article deleted or not approved? Or does this mean they are put up for review or approval? Second, the YouTube link added are of personal videos (so no copyright problems), and, I believe, offers another resource for people interested in seeing more about the article's subject.

I'm not sure if this is the place to ask either. MonkeyC33 (talk) 19:11, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Howdy hello! Sorry your addition got undone. I have actually reverted the bot's edits, as I think your additions were fine. The bot just undoes additions to YouTube automatically, as YouTube videos are very rarely positive additions to articles, and usually used to spam. But you made some positive contributions, and the videos seem reasonable additions. CaptainEek  Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 19:53, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
 * One note however: if you could find a reliable source to back up your text additions, that would be great. Personal experience is not suffucient, we need a published source that says those things CaptainEek  Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 19:56, 3 June 2020 (UTC)


 * This is good news indeed! Thank you for your time and help! 1) How do I reference a book source in a different language? The additions added were provided by a book in Greek, published by the Monastery, of which I translated from. And 2) where should I provide the reference: after each paragraph, noting the specific pages; or at the end of the entire section with one reference noting the total pages (i.e. pgs. 20-30)? Thank you again. MonkeyC33 (talk) 14:01, 4 June 2020 (UTC)


 * And I might as well ask about this also. I can't quite figure out how to change the article's title, or rather "move" it. It should be titled as one of the following: (full official name) "The Holy Monastery of Saint Gregory", or (commonly known as) "Gregoriou Monastery". Thanks again.

 * HI there. We use WP:COMMONNAME, which is the most commonly recognizable name. For exapmle, content about Bill Clinton/William Jefferson Clinton will go into the Bill Clinto page per WP:COMMONNAME, and the WIlliam Jefferson page would be a redirect to BIll Clinton.


 * In the case of the lead section, you would use the official name.


 * Irrelevant to your question, but on talk pages for orgainization purposes, we use a colon ":" to indent our comments as shown in WP:THREAD.

 * Thank you x2. First, for the indentation advice. There's a lot to learn on here. Second, in regards to the title: so it should be corrected to what is commonly used and known, which is "Gregoriou Monastery". Now I've read about "moving" an article in order to correct the title but I can't seem to find the button that is referred to. Any advice? P.S. do the people who have helped me here see the replies I'm writing them? If not, does that mean I have to write the "help me" code everytime? Sorry, I'm just beginning, and although the Getting Started and the Getting Help pages are very helpful and thorough, it's a bit of a mental overload to remember everything.MonkeyC33 (talk) 21:00, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
 * The help me template is a very general call for editing help. If you want to communicate with a particular editor, you can use the template instead.
 * The 'MOVE' button lives under the 'More' tab in the desktop interface. I can't say (because of my own ignorance) how it might be found in the mobile interface except by switching to the desktop interface via the button at the very bottom of the mobile page.
 * References to foreign language publications are done just the same way as English language publications, but you can add a  parameter to add a translation of the title. As to where to put the ref codes, this is subject to some debate. For biographical articles, the tendency is to put a ref for every sentence. For other articles it is less stringent and a single ref at the end of a paragraph can be sufficient.
 * I'm not sure I hit all of your outstanding questions here, since the conversation has multiple topics jumbled together, but feel free to ask again if there's something else you need help with.  — jmcgnh (talk) (contribs) 23:34, 4 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Your help was point on. I will work on the "move" and reference(s) once I get a chance. I will also definitely ask you if I get stumped on something else. Thank you. MonkeyC33 (talk) 00:32, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
