Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page The Pink Panthers has been reverted. Your edit here to The Pink Panthers 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://vanishingnewyork.blogspot.com/2010/10/pink-panthers.html) 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 blog, forum, free web hosting service, fansite, or similar site (see 'Links to avoid', #11), then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest). 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) 16:27, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

San Diego Pride
Hello, Podpoet, and thanks for your interest in the new article about San Diego Pride! Your additions about the rainbow flag and Harvey Milk Street were a great improvement in the article, and I have added references to substantiate them. However, I don't believe the information about the scooters belongs in that article, for two reasons. One, the scooters were merely one out of 200 entries in the parade; they are not what Wikipedia calls notable. I'm sure that every year there is some kind of unit that wasn't in the parade before. The other problem is that the reference you are citing, a movie video, does not meet the criteria of an independent reliable source as Wikipedia requires. If you still feel this information and link belong in the article, let's discuss it at the talk page of the article. Thanks! --MelanieN (talk) 15:17, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
