A Note About Advertising and Conflicts of Interest
If I reverted your link addition or removed your links from an article, please read this:
Due to the rising profile of Wikipedia and the amount of extra traffic it can bring a site, there is a great temptation to use Wikipedia to advertise or promote sites. This includes both commercial and non-commercial sites. You should avoid linking to a website that you own, maintain or represent, even if the guidelines otherwise imply that it should be linked. If the link is to a relevant and informative site that should otherwise be included, please consider mentioning it on the talk page and let neutral and independent Wikipedia editors decide whether to add it. This is in line with the conflict of interest guidelines.
If you have additional information to add to the article, why not simply add it rather than having an external link?

Australian Business Traveller
Hi,
XLinkBot automatically reverts links to ausbt.com.au; I've started a discussion of this at WP:RSN#Australian Business Traveller reliable source? which may benefit from your input. However, I can't find where ausbt.com.au is blacklisted; it's on neither Mediawiki:Spam-blacklist nor User:XLinkBot/RevertList. Can you help with that? —Alex (ASHill | talk | contribs) 19:50, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
- @Ashill: Ausbt.com.au was blacklisted as a reference only—see User:XLinkBot/RevertList requests/log#January 2011 and User:XLinkBot/RevertReferencesList. I've made a delisting request at User talk:XLinkBot/RevertList#Proposed removals. Conifer (talk) 00:54, 6 May 2015 (UTC)

Checkuser Request
Hi there,
I have some reason to think that my laptop was stolen last Friday morning EST and that access to this account was compromised in a way that creates potential for abusive editing by whoever has my laptop. Can you run a checkuser on this account to see whether and at what time someone logged into this account on the morning (EST) of Friday the 6th, and if so, where they logged in? I know that Wikipedia checkusers are not a laptop-finding service, and if I knew how to check the IP addresses for my own account, I would. But the theft creates the possibility that someone will make abusive edits from my account, and that's something I'd like to head off -- in addition to getting my laptop back. Any help or advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, -- AndySimpson talk? 18:43, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

Sockpuppet?
Hello, this IP that you blocked on 8 January for a month for abusing multiple accounts has resumed activity: Special:Contributions/71.235.48.129. I thought that I would report it to you rather than AIV since you might know more of the context of the past edit history. - Bossanoven (talk) 22:31, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

Your Bot
Hello, just added a youtube link to a video and received this message:
February 2015 Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Piergiorgio Welby has been reverted. Your edit here to Piergiorgio Welby 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=7VwgVTG6R9A) 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) 17:01, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
The fact is I am the author of that video and the youtube link quoted is the one operated and owned by the owners of the said video - Al Jazeera in this specific instance. I understand a bot is uncapable of spotting the difference between legitimated and illegitimate youtube links, or capable of knowing who the potential copyright owner of contents is, but he/she got it wrong this time around...
Hope you can mend it and keep the link posted. And, if you get a change, wacht the video. Welby's story is a touching one.

Hey, could you give the user Copeman22 a look? (no user page, fyi.)

Reason of Article Deletion
Hi
My article was in draft from last one month and today it is deleted with reason given of "advertising or promotion". I have followed all the guidelines of Wikipedia and also the format required with referral links but again in last deleted after awaiting long period. Can you please review the article again and let me know if any updates are required. Because it is not promotional article, it was posted in purpose to provide the information about the company to internet users. WWICS is group of companies and it has more then one lakh clients in the world. We want that our future clients can read about us in detail through wikipedia before a part of our services.
Please review it once again and let me know the solution to publish about my company in Wikipedia.

article deletions Genetic Internet
Dear Versageek:
In reference to the following pages, would you be able to assist us. An assistant at our company established these pages. The founder of the company is a former engineer at Netscape and has recently filed patents regarding the genetic engineering of information. These pages are not intended to be promotional, but factual. Can you help us establish these pages in the proper context? The genetic engineering of information is important in the evolution of the Internet. How can I structure these documents according to your standards?
Warm thanks!

Hi.
I changed some vocabulary and added legitimate links. also 1 citation to page: PKK
but your bot is reverting them. not only the links but the vocabulary too.
for example: PKK did not fight in rojava YPG did. I can find hundreds of citations about this.
the kurdish guy who changed the word terrorist to militant also erased pkk attacks on sweden and pkk attacks on civilians.
also please lock the title pkk as it is being used as a propoganda tool by those terrorists, if you can.
debating pkk as non-terrorist is same as debating al-qaida or hezbollah as non-terrorist.
excuse my broken english and thank you in advance.

Your XLinkBot bot reverted a template:copypaste
Dear Versageek: I noticed on the Phil Drummond article that most of the text is from his facebook page. So I put the copypaste template and a couple others. The copypaste template contained the link to his publicly view-able facebook page. This is my edited version.
As a result, the Xlinkbot reverted all the flags I added to this article. What is to be done? In this case the link to his facebook is legitimate since it's the evidence that the entire article is copied from the facebook. 132.74.208.112 (talk) 11:52, 18 August 2015 (UTC)

Confirmation
Thank you so much in deed, Mr. XLinkBot.
Concerning the word, "Karbala," phonetically speaking, there is a big difference between the two letters, "E & A" according to the accurate Arabic pronunciation. Some words or letters might sound the same to the non-Arabic speaking people, but to the native speakers, they and how they are pronounced sound different. As an Arab, linguist, and translator of the official website of the Imam Hussein Holy Shrine, I'm merely trying to help make the article better because I love Wikipedia so much, and I'd always do my best to take care of it in order to be better. If you would like me to help, I'll absolutely be more than happy to cooperate with you to make any articles concerning my environment, such as history, word pronunciation, or anything else, better.

Invitation to subscribe to the edit filter mailing list
Hi, as a user in the edit filter manager user group we wanted to let you know about the new wikipedia-en-editfilters mailing list. As part of our recent efforts to improve the use of edit filters on the English Wikipedia it has been established as a venue for internal discussion by edit filter managers regarding private filters (those only viewable by administrators and edit filter managers) and also as a means by which non-admins can ask questions about hidden filters that wouldn't be appropriate to discuss on-wiki. As an edit filter manager we encourage you to subscribe; the more users we have in the mailing list the more useful it will be to the community. If you subscribe we will send a short email to you through Wikipedia to confirm your subscription, but let us know if you'd prefer another method of verification. I'd also like to take the opportunity to invite you to contribute to the proposed guideline for edit filter use at WP:Edit filter/Draft and the associated talk page. Thank you!

Please sign new Wikimedia confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information by 15 December
This is a message from the Wikimedia Foundation. Translations are available.
As you may know, the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees approved a new "Access to nonpublic information policy" on 25 April 2014 after a community consultation. The former policy has remained in place until the new policy could be implemented. That implementation work is now being done, and we are beginning the transition to the new policy.
An important part of that transition is helping volunteers like you sign the required confidentiality agreement. All Wikimedia volunteers with access to nonpublic information are required to sign this new agreement, and we have prepared some documentation to help you do so.
The Wikimedia Foundation is requiring that anyone with access to nonpublic information sign the new confidentiality agreement by 15 December 2015 (OTRS users have until 22 December 2015) to retain their access. You are receiving this email because you have access to nonpublic information and are required to sign the confidentiality agreement under the new policy.
Signing the confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information is conducted and tracked using Legalpad on Phabricator. The general confidentiality agreement is now ready, and the OTRS agreement will be ready after 22 September 2015. We have prepared a guide on Meta-Wiki to help you create your Phabricator account and sign the new agreement: Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information/How to sign
If you have any questions or experience any problems while signing the new agreement, please visit this talk page or email me (gvarnumwikimedia.org). Again, please sign this confidentiality agreement by 15 December 2015 (OTRS users have until 22 December 2015) to retain your access to nonpublic information. If you do not wish to retain this access, please let me know and we will forward your request to the appropriate individuals.
Thank you,

Hello, I see you reverted my edit to Unique bid auction. I think that and Guess 2/3 of the average are similar games and so should link to each other. What was your rationale for reverting? Thanks, cagliost (talk) 15:28, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

I suggest you add text to the article explaining how the game is relevant to the auction, maybe under the mathematics part - the text can include link to the game article, similar text on the game article would be helpful too. --Versageek 18:56, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

Bot diff
Hey Versageek. I know nothing about bots so I'm not touching this one without asking. There were COI issues and too many links in the above diff - but are the sweeping content changes something a bot should be doing? It appears to have been triggered by the excessive linking, which there was, I'm just a little confused. Thank you! PanydThe muffin is not subtle 23:12, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

- I have readded your material with a slight change. I placed the statement in front of the existing references which mention the Fiverr site specifically. I had reverted you because we normally expect a reference from a reliable source to be included with a specific statement like the one you added. If you are adding details from existing references, it would be good to mention that in the edit comment. Sorry for the confusion. -- Versageek 20:38, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

Hello! My article Samar Virdi was deleted Speedily. I am very new to Wikipedia and I was making an article for my friend who is a film maker and photographer. There are some things that might sound promotional but are absolutely not!
- Photographer and film maker: That is only his profession not anything that I am promoting.
- YouTuber: This is what he does! And I also deleted the link to his article, I just told the name of the article.
- Social media platforms: I removed their links from his article so that it isn't promotional
- Awards and interviews: All are true. If you want evidence, you can visit www.samarvirdi.com
- Shopping link: that link was deleted by me as you thought it was promotional. But still, my article was deleted again.
Hence, I request you to please restore my article and if there is anything else you want me to edit in the article, please tell me! Thanks In Advance! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Samarthvohra (talk • contribs) 03:30, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
Why revert facts
I have added information that is factual to dysfunction why has it been removed 97.32.69.141 (talk) 07:12, 7 December 2015 (UTC)
- Your garage band does not yet merit an entry on Wikipedia. Try again after they have some chart topping hits or win some awards.--Versageek 11:31, 7 December 2015 (UTC)
This garageband and has released its second album the " The long road home" and is well documented on the web and how do you a page editor decide what merits notable mention. one would assume that your opinion of Dysfunctions status in pop culture cannot weigh in on our right to be included in a factual statements page. if your opinion is the deciding factor in what is factual and what is not well this system is broken and i guess u should delete god or Hermes Dysfunction is here 50.153.134.12 (talk) 07:39, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

about wikihow page
Hi, I want to apologise for any waste of time I might have caused/causing you :)
There is small inconsistency (big for me) in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WikiHow. Open Source and Open Content definitions are violated by the "nc" part of the Creative Commons license and since WikiHow content is released under a Creative Commons (by-nc-sa) license it is quite unfair to call it Open Content.
Extract from http://opendefinition.org "" 2.1.8 Application to Any Purpose
The license must allow use, redistribution, modification, and compilation for any purpose. The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the work in a specific field of endeavor. "" this is not exactly Open Content Licence but can be easily confused without more explanation.
Further more Open Content Licence itself does not prohibit commercial use: from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Content_License ""
With the exception of media and handling costs, it forbids charging for copies of a licensed work, but does not otherwise forbid commercial use.[1]
""
from https://web.archive.org/web/19981206111937/http://www.opencontent.org/opl.shtml "" You may at your option charge a fee for the media and/or handling involved in creating a unique copy of the OC for use offline, you may at your option offer instructional support for the OC in exchange for a fee, or you may at your option offer warranty in exchange for a fee. ""
Basically the two sentences : "" wikiHow is an open source and open content project.[7] The modified MediaWiki software is freely released[8] and the content is released under a Creative Commons (by-nc-sa) license.[9][10] "" are incompatible and in fact : 1) 'wikiHow is an open source' == 'The modified MediaWiki software is freely released' 2) 'and open content project' == false 3) 'and the content is released under a Creative Commons (by-nc-sa) license' == true
Thus 'wikiHow is an open source and open content project' can just be removed to avoid confusion :)
Btw I am not a hater or anything, on the country I am a fan of WikiHow even if it is by-nc-sa, I just like accuracy :)

External Links
Hi Versageek,
I am new to editing Wikipedia and I was hoping to add useful information about insects to pages. I make educational YouTube videos about insects. I do not want to run into a problem with "conflict of interest" policies, but I also think that these videos would add beneficial information to the pages. Somewhere it mentioned, bringing it up in a "Talk" and letting other editors decide if it was a valuable addition. Where would I do that? I tried to just place a couple up and your bot knocked them down and I just don't want to step on any toes as I did not know that links were discouraged. Also, would it be more okay to just add written information to the body and then add the link at the bottom as a reference?
Thank you, Insectopia — Preceding unsigned comment added by Insectopia 2015 (talk • contribs) 20:26, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
- For a broad based discussion, you could try: The WikiProject Insects talk page. Otherwise on the individual talk pages of the articles where you are trying to add links. --Versageek 19:17, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
