Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Providence and Worcester Railroad has been reverted. Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam 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. The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): groups\.yahoo\.com (links: http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/providenceandworcesterrailroadgroup/, http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/providenceandworcesterrailroadgroup/ (redirect from http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/providenceandworcesterrailroadgroup/)). 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 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.

Hi -- the "bot" (site's software) is trying to say in a roundabout, brusque way is that we don't link to forums and discussion groups. Here are the relevant standards:
 * External Links Guideline
 * What Wikipedia is Not
 * Reliable Sources Guideline

I appreciate the work you're doing on our Providence and Worcester Railroad article. Welcome to Wikipedia! -- A. B. (talk • contribs) 02:53, 3 May 2009 (UTC) -- A. B. (talk • contribs) 02:53, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
