Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page HO scale has been reverted. Your edit here to HO scale 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 (http://i845.photobucket.com/albums/ab15/PaulLubliner/HighlinersF-7adphotocopy2.jpg) 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. an image 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 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.

North American Signaling
Hey, just wanted to give you a heads up that I had to pull some of your updates from the page. The problem was that it took sort of the general audience narrative and replaced it with a lot of hard core signaling factoids. I was able to incorporate many of the new facts you provided, but they needed to be placed in a generic framework so its accessible to people with a less technical background. The heaviest cuts fell to your Searchlight and semaphore sections. For both you should add in most of your details to the pages that deal with those types of signals specifically. In the case of Searchight Signals you'd have to create it new, and I highly encourage you to do so, it's just in a general survey of signaling types you were going way too much into detail. All of what you wrote is saved in the page history so you can just copy paste it out of there. Also, watch your neutral point of view, you had a lot of editorial comments about the signaling industry mixed in there. Anyway, not trying to be a jerk or a WikiNazi here, it's just that a wall of highly detailed text wasn't good for that section.Sturmovik (talk) 18:08, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
