Re: Frank Lloyd Wright External Links Policy?
Hi! First, welcome to Wikipedia. You can learn a lot about wikipedia from the welcome page.

Wikipedia does not have a formal policy on external links, however there are guidelines on what is acceptable at WP:EL. In general it is preferred to add information to Wikipedia articles rather than external links. If a website includes factual information that the article doesn't include then, so long as the website is a reliable source, we can add those facts and cite the website, but just adding a link to the website is not considered very useful. —JeremyA 03:13, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Avatar (PLATO system video game) has been reverted. Your edit here to Avatar (PLATO system video game) 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 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEyppAb_6ag) 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 media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original. 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) 03:54, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
