Hello, I'm Mvcg66b3r. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to the main body of Tutti Frutti (game show). Generally, any relevant external links should be listed in an "External links" section at the end of the article and meet the external links guidelines. Links within the body of an article should be internal Wikilinks. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Request reason:

Apart from finding new information and choosing which parts to edit, all independently, me, rory, and nate are not working on this article for any other reason than his name was first on the list of articles to edit. The current version of the article has bad sources and is negatively skewed. We're literally just fixing what is wrong. There should be no issue. The problems brought forth are one, my account, rory's and i guess nates too were created recently (mine and rory's because we've never had an account) and just trying to get some articles done. The goal was literally, get to ten edits and get started. There is nothing wrong with creating an article and there is no conflict of interest between independent editors agreeing to do an article. If that were wrong the community portal is wrong too. Two, nothing is being promoted; the only sources pertaining to Joel Gilbert are news articles and his website. I might've cited one wrong but that's it. The article as it stands has a negative skew and bad sources. We're trying to give it a neutral stance and fix the sources as we go. To accuse me, rory, and nate (we don't know him too well. He said he would check our stuff and gave us a general outline: i.e. stick to a topic and build a reputation) of being sock puppets is no different than calling anyone who's ever communicated on wikipedia about an article, a conflicting interest. I get the timing is bad (just looked over the history, there's a lot in the last few days) but nothing we have done has contradicted any guidelines set by wiki. This is classic looks like a duck must be a duck thinking. Not sure why the contention for this is so high. The article should be taken down if not fixed. Not trying to be a bother but its wrong to label this a conflict of interest when it isn't.
