Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Donja Dubnica has been reverted. Your edit here to Donja Dubnica was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links in references which are discouraged per our reliable sources guideline. The reference(s) you added or changed (http://www.fallingrain.com/world/KV/00/Donja_Dubnica.html) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If you were adding a link or reference to fallingrain.com, then you should be aware that this site is considered on wikipedia to be an unreliable source. More information can be found MediaWiki_talk:Spam-blacklist here (permanent). Please consider to use/find another source for the information. 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) 20:58, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I was restoring a reference that had been removed by another editor who had also changed the name mentioned at the top of the article. I restored the link as part of merging two other editor's contributions where they had undone each other's work.  I did not check the link itself, although it did seem dubious.  Thanks for catching it.  Pathore (talk) 21:06, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

&lt;noinclude&gt;?
I am quite unfamiliar with this problem - can you point me to an explanation? Ben  Mac  Dui  08:18, 18 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Sure, I'll explain it. The featured lists portal relies on partial transclusion to pick parts of the actual featured list articles for display at the portal.  Per discussion at Wikipedia_talk:Portal guidelines, portals shouldn't mention references, since there is a "see full page" link on the portal's "teaser".  The  tags I've added suppress references when the page is transcluded, which is why I've only bothered to mark the references that are inside the  blocks on the page.  I noticed the problem because some of the references are in "group=Note", which was putting the featured lists portal into Category:Pages with missing references list, which I'm trying to clean up.  Would you like to help?  Pathore (talk) 03:19, 19 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks - that's very clear. I'll take a look at the FLs I've created. Ben   Mac  Dui  15:53, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

You'd have to remove Shatner's and Takei's, too—they're all from Twitter. &mdash; ATinySliver &#47; ATalkPage 05:55, 28 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Our citations for those quotes point to secondary sources, not directly to Twitter. The quote I removed was cited directly to InstaGram.  Wikipedia is a tertiary source.  Removing the quote entirely is a simple solution to an edit war over its accuracy.  I have no objection to reinserting it, provided that the reinsertion is cited to a reliable secondary source, which should also solve the accuracy issue since we would be quoting the secondary source's quote.

 * A reasoned argument. I shall attempt a fix. Cheers! &mdash; ATinySliver &#47; ATalkPage 06:34, 28 February 2015 (UTC)


 * I did reinsert it, EvergreenFir reverted it out - reliable, secondary source and all. He's now threatened AN3 if it is readded again, regardless of the accuracy or the reference.  -- WV ● ✉ ✓  06:36, 28 February 2015 (UTC)


 * And it has just been added again, while I was opening the discussion on the talk page in the face of edit conflicts. Pathore (talk) 07:01, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
