edit

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Jordan Corey has been reverted.
Your edit here to Jordan Corey 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=lEkO4PU5QYo) 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) 19:55, 27 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Jordan Corey, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. References are a necessary part of an article.C.Fred (talk) 23:13, 1 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

C.Fred Thanks. Who ultimately decides what is a valid reason? The way in which the text is written and laid out can be improved, which is all I'm trying to do. I am sitting next to Jordan Corey and she would like certain information removed and replaced so this page is as accurate as possible. That is all.Rtulchin (talk) 20:34, 2 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

If you are editing at the request of Jordan Corey, then you have a conflict of interest. You should not edit the article directly; you should request changes at Talk:Jordan Corey and let independent editors make the changes, if they comply with Wikipedia policies. Make sure to provide reliable sources for the changes, since one of the policies is WP:Verifiability. —C.Fred (talk) 20:37, 2 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
