Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Brittany Toll has been reverted.
Your edit here to Brittany Toll 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 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBCfeSanDLs) 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 and therefore probably should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file.
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) 21:04, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

Rob Maness

The article was deleted by the WP:Proposed deletion process, which means that it is restored automatically on request; however I will notify user Bearcat (talk) who proposed it, and who may choose to nominate it at WP:Articles for deletion, which would start a discussion lasting seven days, to which you would be welcome to contribute.

The words on the PROD were Bearcat's not mine; in fact, I would be inclined to go further: even if Col. Maness is selected as candidate, that does not mean he is necessarily entitled to an article. It is a principle, explained at WP:POLITICIAN, than being an unelected candidate for political office does not confer WP:Notability (not "notoriety") which is Wikipedia's inclusion criterion. (The reason for that is to avoid Wikipedia being used for election propaganda, and likely edit-wars on candidates' articles at election time between supporters and opponents). Having Facebook likes and being a colonel do not confer automatic notability, either (WP:MILPEOPLE): the requirement is for "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject."
