Dear, Bonadea I am still not convinced about the fact that the external link was inappropriate in terms to article. Also, I clearly understand the fact that Wikipedia uses nofollow tags. How could a relevant article be considered advertising or promotion when the website in consideration neither sells any product nor any advertisement. I do understand & respect the fact that you might be senior in wikipedia forum or may be a older member than me. But please don't overexercise your power on false ground, disallowing constructive citations. --[[User:Aalugobi|aalugobi]] |

:It's not constructive, as it isn't a [[WP:RS|reliable source]], and so the addition of this unreliable source serves only the purpose of promoting this website. Also, according to [[WP:3RR]], you mustn't revert content more than 3 times in a 24 hour period- you have done it 4 times. Please stop, or you will be reported for [[WP:EW|edit warring]].

Welcome

May 2015
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at Free web hosting service. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.
If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose editing privileges. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a loss of editing privileges. Thank you.

Please read
Blogs and Youtube videos by bloggers are not what Wikipedia considers reliable sources. Also, "...however, these often come with some limits on usage such as bandwidth, disk-space, nodes, database and other constraints. Anyways, few of them are good enough to host a low to medium traffic websites." is original research and not written in an encyclopedic tone. --NeilN talk to me 21:45, 31 May 2015 (UTC)
Thank you for pointing out the fact. But I am still not convinced about the fact that websites or youtube videos couldn't be a reliable source of information particularly if they are partner verified channel in YouTube or also if they are the popular established websites. --- User:aalugobi
- Please read WP:BRD. If you insist on reverting back in original research and poorly sourced material over and over again then you'll run into difficulties sooner than later. --NeilN talk to me 22:04, 31 May 2015 (UTC)
Dear Neil, first of all I am not trying to intimidate you but it doesn't seem convincing and I am putting my point of view. And please don't get offended but please do satisfy or criticize my point with logic. Warm regards, Aalugobi
- But your point of view doesn't belong in articles. See our verifiability policy. "Wikipedia does not publish original research. Its content is determined by previously published information rather than the beliefs or experiences of its editors. Even if you're sure something is true, it must be verifiable before you can add it." As for YouTube, please carefully read what I wrote. The CNN and BBC YouTube channels are absolutely reliable sources. A YouTube channel by a random blogger is not. --NeilN talk to me 22:16, 31 May 2015 (UTC)
Again to say that YouTube video by a random blogger could be unreliable is not true in my opinion. For example, if a random blogger uploaded a video of some engineering testing presented in a renounced university, cannot we consider that reliable? I think in this scenario it has to be dealt case by case. Also, like they say - "Picture speaks itself", similarly, we can judge by video if its authentic or not. Moreover, for particular niche of their field of expertise, some unheard professional bodies, organizations or established websites may be more reliable than more generic parties like CNN, BBC. --Aalugobi
- No, we can't. Please actually read the policies and guidelines I'm linking to - WP:RS: "Articles should be based on reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy." Also, see WP:SCHOLARSHIP (professional bodies fall under this). The blogger has to be a recognized expert in the field. Otherwise, they're self-published sources which are not acceptable. --NeilN talk to me 22:32, 31 May 2015 (UTC)

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Free web hosting service. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
Please see WP:REFSPAM. bonadea contributions talk 06:18, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
