User talk:Neriad

Hi Neriad

I removed the mentioned edits mainly for three reasons.
 * What does "donated by birdhouse.com" mean - unless you have their explicit permission to release the text under the GFDL licence, it's a copyright violation
 * "interesting facts" is a POV heading
 * Most of the facts duplicated material in the existing text

jimfbleak (later) -statement that ruby-throat has the fastest wingbeats is dubious and unsourced

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. 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 web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Ageekgal (talk) 15:07, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps I am being too hasty, but in the absence of talk page edits on the pages you've hit recently and back in October, it has all the look of spam. I apologize for not posting this talk before reverting some of your edits, however... that violated the golden rule of assuming good faith.

Prior to posting this, I attempted to back out some of your additions of POV ("interesting" is relative) trivia content and (to me) non-notable external links that appear to exist only to drum up traffic to a site. If you can provide a rationale for what value these links on every bird-related page you can find actually provide to the articles, it would be useful.
