Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. * --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 05:56, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

Reliable sources
Please note that content needs to be from reliable sources, not gossip sites. Your edit to Vivek Oberoi has been reverted.  Active  Banana   (  bananaphone  18:47, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

I dont understand why this addition was removed. The link cited was of a well known Indian news site, NDTV (see link NDTV story on Vivek Oberoi). Its NOT a Gossip website. Additionally, if the reviewer ( Banana ) had spent a minute reading the article, they would have seen that the news story was posted by the Press Trust of India, a widely known and used syndication service like the AP. WP, please educate/make aware your reviewers about genuine media sites that exist in countries outside the US. The NY Times is not the only reliable source in the world!
