Repeated addition of Youtube videos to external links
On multiple articles, you've added to external links various different Youtube videos made by various history-related channels. Many of them were reverted without explanation by the reverters (I was not one of them; though I agree that the edits should have been reverted).

These edits were all reverted because the additions do not comply with Wikipedia policies relating to WP:ELNO, specifically the first two points (duplication of article content and unreliable sources), and WP:RS, which define reliable sources. Reliable sources, especially in historical topics like these, come from books or articles published by an academic press (eg Cambridge University Press); they are not self-published videos. Most videos on YouTube are therefore not reliable sources. Ifly6 (talk) 01:31, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
