Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Avala Tower 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=o3VebKOpvTA. 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) 15:50, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Yahoo!, please cite a reliable source for the content of your edit. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. Take a look at Wikipedia:Citing sources for information about how to cite sources and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Please do not add content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did with this edit to Yahoo!. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. TwistOfCain ^(talk) 19:20, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

Please do not add unsourced or original content, as you did with this edit to Yahoo!. Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. TwistOfCain ^(talk) 23:26, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Users who edit disruptively or refuse to collaborate with others may be blocked if they continue. In particular the three-revert rule states that making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block. If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the talk page to discuss controversial changes. Work towards wording and content that gains consensus among editors. If unsuccessful, then do not edit war even if you believe you are right. Post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Have any reliable sources been discussing this? It really doesn't seem all that notable at this point. Onorem♠Dil 20:39, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

RE:Your PS...I'm one of the people that have been editing it out. I don't doubt that the issue may currently be happening. I don't need to try to post to verify that. I just don't see is how it's at all notable enough to mention at this point. Have any reliable sources discussed this? --Onorem♠Dil 21:13, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

If you do a Google search of the issue you will see that it is valid. Quite frankly, I do not see how it is not relevant to the criticisms section. But I must confess, I am relatively new at this editing and this is the first time I have had a post blocked out. I only stumbled upon your response now. I was going to post a screen capture of the error message but was not sure how to do it or whether it mattered or not. I consider Yahoo deleting critical posts on their "Ask Yahoo" area very valid here. Perhaps you can take up where I left off and properly edit the article?

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for your disruption caused by edit warring by violation of the three-revert rule at Yahoo!. During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.
