Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Rangeview Library District has been reverted. Your edit here to Rangeview Library District 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=fa6ERdxyYdo) 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) 16:34, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

Why did my edits disappear?
Hello. It appears as though a bot removed a link to a TEDx video I cited. That's fine – as I was able to find a better link for that particular speech. However, as soon as that link was removed, a number of the edits I'd made over the course of the past week also disappeared. Does anyone know why? Is there a way to ask for them to be reinstated? Thank you for your help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Urbanowl (talk • contribs)

The bot reverted all your edits to the article. I'm not sure if it's a bug, or if it's intended behaviour where it thought you were a spammer. I reinstated the material, and will take a look which one is the case. Thanks for helping improve Wikipedia! Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 18:30, 6 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Yeah, the bot left you a message above this conversation. You should consult the links there, and maybe notify the bot operator. --k6ka (talk &#124; contribs) 18:33, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Note, I already notified the bot owner and reverted the wholesale changes, no further action required :) Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 18:40, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
