Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Steve Jobs 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://celebritycar.weebly.com/steve-jobs.html. 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) 10:31, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Justin Bieber shows that you are in danger of breaking the three-revert rule, or that you may have already broken it. An editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Breaking the three-revert rule often leads to a block.

If you wish to avoid being blocked, instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to discuss the changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. You may still be blocked for edit warring even if you do not exceed the technical limit of the three-revert rule if your behavior indicates that you intend to continue to revert repeatedly.

Hi
Hello there James94 I see your having some trouble. Let me try to explain why your additions are being removed. It seem to be a problem of what we call indiscriminate collection of information and simply gossip. Pls write me back here if you have any questionsMoxy (talk) 05:20, 1 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Moxy, I think we may have a bigger problem. From checking this user's contributions they seem to be adding information exclusively from http://celebritycar.weebly.com/, i.e. they may be an SPA spam account. I hope I am wrong, but if they continue on this path they should be blocked indefinitely. Dr.K. λogosπraxis 05:33, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Agree with your assessment - I always play it safe at first and try not to bite the newcomers - in fact I try to engage them - they are the future of Wikipedia - we need new people...I try were I can.Moxy (talk) 05:36, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
 * True. But exclusively adding spam links as a newbie is one thing. Adding them repeatedly in many articles over many months is another. Edit-warring without communicating with other editors represents yet another escalation in these spam-related activities. Let's hope for the best. Dr.K. λogosπraxis 05:43, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I apologise for my additions to Wikipedia that you are both talking about, I did not realise that they would be considered as spam. I genuinely thought that what cars some celebrities drive would be relevant information, and that people would be interested in it. I also don't add to Wikipedia unless I am sure it is accurate. The reason I make edits exclusively about cars is because it is my passion, and I can see that this may be the wrong motive. I will discontinue making edits of this nature, as I understand it could be considered 'gossip'/spam.--TheJames94 (talk) 06:15, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I would like to apologize for us here at Wikipedia for not making this clear until now. This is our fault and we need to do better in the future. PS take a look at WikiProject Automobiles you may find this group of editors have the same interest and will know what is and is not good for articles. All the best my new friend.Moxy (talk) 06:19, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Best wishes from me as well. If you need any help please don't hesitate to ask. Dr.K. λogosπraxis 06:23, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
