June 2010

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page John Huppenthal has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nz4cO3DzPc4. 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) 22:27, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Further discussion on overtowner.com

I have asked for other opinions on whether overtowner.com qualifies for use as an external link at Wikipedia:External links/Noticeboard#overtowner.com. -- Donald Albury 00:14, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi, Donald. The Overtown wiki has a lot of information from people who don't live in Overtown. Overtowner.com supplements that with information supplied directly by the people of Overtown. You'll agree, I'm sure, that one of the our "wired" society's biggest failures is that poor people, in general, do not have access to the vast amount of information available to those of us who are economically more fortunate. Overtowner.com is an effort to address this issue on a very small scale. It was created as a serious journalistic/academic project and does not benefit me or anyone else in any monetary way. Thank you. - Stretch — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.75.205.142 (talk) 00:00, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
