 * Your edits to African Americans in the Revolutionary War appear to be in good faith but they are destroying the proper article format.  Please go over your edits and remove the "sup" and "big" mark-up so that I don't have to.  I don't think that a Glen Beck interview is the best source for the content you are adding, but I will not remove the content and hope someone can locate a better source.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page African Americans in the Revolutionary War has been reverted. Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inoWGGeqdmo. 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 and therefore probably should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file. 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.

African Americans in the Revolutionary War
Hello there. Please take the time to browse WP:MOS to make sure that your edits don't actually make the article worse. It may be good content, but when editing we don't expect instant experts but some competency is required and you should make yourself familiar before attempting major changes. Try writing in prose.
