Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Ishmael Houston-Jones has been reverted.
Your edit here to Ishmael Houston-Jones 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://vimeo.com/46084374) 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) 16:48, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

thanks for the help

as you've learned - not all links work here. But the additional info to your (I assume) bio is much appreciated. Please let me know (click the name at the end of this comment) if you need any help StarM 02:00, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi! You'll notice I removed some of the grants. The Wikipedia article isn't really the best place for a full list ofgrants, etc. Awards like the Bessie, however, are perfectly fine. StarM 01:40, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

Sorry for the delay

I was offline a bit. I see why you changed the awards, and now that I read a little more, I understand why. I just tweaked the formatting a little - what do you think about leading each award with the name followed by year(s)? To me it reads more clearly. Thanks for your help. I had read about your work in materials from either the Apollo or DTW and went to look you up and didn't find out much so I started researching. I actually am not that familiar with images but will see if I can get an answer for you on that. Stay tuned and keep in touch with any questions. StarM 03:51, 19 July 2014 (UTC)
