How does X work?

I'm trying to add a link to my family memoir of Jobriath (Bruce Campbell) to the external links for the Jobriath page. Someone is then coming behind me and removing it. Why? Williepee (talk) 16:32, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Per our policy on conflicts of interests you should not add links to your own page. Please discuss this on the talk page instead. Regards SoWhy 17:21, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

April 2009

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Reginald Kell has been reverted.

Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam 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. The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): \bfacebook\.com (links: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/group.php?gid=81730261991&ref=mf).

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 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) 19:21, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
