editWelcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Agnes and Margaret Smith has been reverted.
Your edit here to Agnes and Margaret Smith 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=mSVPUU8unms) 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) 20:08, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

You may request a change of name and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions other than promoting your business or organization. To do this, first search Special:CentralAuth for available usernames that comply with the username policy. Once you have found an acceptable username, post the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked. In your reasons, you must:
- Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure requirement.
- Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
- Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.
{{unblock|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page. Longhair\talk 10:21, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

Request reason:
I apologize for adding my documentary link to the Luther Martin page. I realize my user name was the same as our production company and that is contrary to Wikimedia's policy. I receive no compensation for this or any other wikipedia editing and sincerely thought that anyone interested in Luther Martin should know about the only documentary ever made about him (our DIY low budget series). I contribute $$ to wikimedia every year and believe it is perhaps the best service available online.
Decline reason:
Procedural decline only. This unblock request has been open for more than two weeks but has not proven sufficient for any reviewing administrator to take action. You are welcome to request a new block review if you substantially reword your request. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that
- the block is not necessary to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, or
- the block is no longer necessary because you
- understand what you have been blocked for,
- will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
- will make useful contributions instead.
Please read the guide to appealing blocks for more information. Yamla (talk) 11:02, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
As an editor, I thank you for donating, but we editors have nothing to do with the process, and it has no impact on decisions made here. Donations are collected by the Wikimedia Foundation that operates the computers Wikipedia is on; they are not involved in day to day operations. What edits do you want to make that are unrelated to your production company or its work? Would you agree to refrain from editing about your company and its work? 331dot (talk) 08:38, 5 October 2021 (UTC) Yes, I agree to refrain from editing about my company & its work. If I have researched Luther Martin (1748-1826) for many years and have information to add to his biography with sources that are not related to our film or work in any way, this would not be a violation of policy I presume? For example, his death date is July 10, 1826 - but wiki listed July 8, 1826 & I corrected this. User: RichardRiggs
