Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Rotherham Masborough railway station 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.1986and1987.fotopic.net/c1899827.html. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. an image 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. 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) 10:08, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

How does X work?
Your question. This is my 1st involvement with Wiki, I have a fotopic.net album, relevant to an article, which I tried to insert a link to in an article.

Is this allowed?

If so how do I do it, as my 1st attempt was removed

Article was Rotherham Masborough Railway Station

 * Hi and welcome to Wikipedia. It depends on the source of the photos. They can be used if they are your own personal work and you agree to release them under a free license (usually under CC-BY, Creative Commons Attribution, which means everyone is free to use or modify the pictures even for commercial purposes as long as they credit you). If they are from websites or by another author then sorry they can not be used unless you get permission from their respective authors.


 * We usually upload photos in Wikipedia's sister site: Wikimedia Commons. So if you're planning to upload some, you can register there. Any files uploaded there are usable by all language versions of Wikipedia.


 * Again, the pictures *must* be your own work. Otherwise they are unusable for Wikipedia, sorry. Cheers.-- Obsidi ♠ n Soul  12:54, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
