Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Gustavo Dudamel has been reverted. Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): rule: '\bfacebook\.com' (link(s): http://www.facebook.com/pages/Gustavo-Dudamel/17116083604?ref=s).

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. 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!

Your recent edits
Hello, Peter.cole42,

You appear to be an employee of Universal Music Classical, judging by your user name, your Wikipedia contributions to date, and this post on Juan Diego Flórez's Facebook page:
 * Peter wrote at 1:05pm on June 23rd, 2008
 * Universal Music Classical is interested in adding additional content to this page for Juan Diego Florez. We would appreciate it if the admin for this page could contact Peter Cole. Thank you.

I note that you have been adding facebook links for several of your company's artists to Wikipedia, e.g. Erwin Schrott, Gustavo Dudamel, Renée Fleming, and Juan Diego Flórez. You also added a link to a Myspace page for him. Note that the facebook sites are fan pages with nothing to indicate on the that those artists own the pages themselves. The Flórez Myspace page is clearly not his personal page, but one set up by Decca. These pages add no new information to what is already provided in the artist's official web pages, and as such are not useful additions to the articles, and pretty much qualify as advertising spam. These links have been removed. If Decca wants to advertise the Facebook and Myspace pages, then add those links to the artists' official web sites, not to Wikipedia. For further guidance see External links

Some other points:
 * I have removed the infobox from Erwin Schrott. These are not used for opera singers, as per the guidelines at the Wikipedia Opera Project.. (This is also true of the Classical Music Project re classical musicians, conductors and composers.)
 * Please leave an edit summary each time you edit an article.
 * The photo of Erwin Schrott (Image:Erwin Schrott.jpg) which you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons has been tagged by another editor as lacking sufficient copyright information and will be deleted in three days unless this is provided. For further guidance on how to establish this, including the fact that Decca owns the copyright to the photo, and that it has specifically released it under a completely free license including freedom for commercial use by third parties and freedom to make derivative works, see the  help pages.
 * The fact that you are an employee of Universal Music Classical means that there is a potential conflict of interest when you edit articles on your company's artists. Please see WP:COI for guidance on editing under those circumstances.

Fair use rationale for Image:Julia Fischer 2.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Julia Fischer 2.jpg. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Media copyright questions.

Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 16:24, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I know she looks great on the photo you used to replace mine, but, besides that I think it will be deleted soon I got some other issues with it. Please see talkpage of Julia Fischer. Thank you! Mariah-Yulia (talk) 21:19, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
