Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Test functions for optimization has been reverted. Your edit here to Test functions for optimization 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=O7dHhEhPZMI) 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) 19:24, 18 September 2016 (UTC)

Hello, I'm XLinkBot. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added to Firefly algorithm have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Your edit here to Firefly algorithm was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline.

Yahyaafc, please stop adding your YouTube link to Test functions for optimization and Firefly algorithm. External links such as these should not be placed in the main body of the article, nor in the "See also" section. (See our guideline on external links.) External links are sometimes appropriate to include in a dedicated "External links" section, but in this case I do not think your video realistically serves any encyclopedic purpose. (See the third criterion of External links.) Continuing to insert this or similar external links could be considered edit warring or spamming, and you could be blocked for this. —Psychonaut (talk) 19:48, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
