Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Roger de Lafforest has been reverted. Your edit here to Roger de Lafforest 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://elephantinthelivingroom.wordpress.com/2010/08/17/houses-that-kill/) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. 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) 09:25, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I've reverted the edit, since I fail to see how linking to an external review of a book by the author in question violates Wikipedia policies. I find it a little irritating and unsettling that Wikipedia has a bot that goes around automatically erasing editors' contributions like this. Robincohen (talk) 18:43, 5 February 2012 (UTC)


 * I see that the linking of blogs is discouraged. It's rather funny that an encyclopedia that is largely edited by anonymous Internet users and that has acquired a reputation of not being a reliable source of information has a policy to discourage linking to blogs, except to those written by "recognized authorities." It's idiotic policies such as this one that discourage me from contributing to this site on a regular basis. Robincohen (talk) 22:47, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
