Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Alex Preston (singer) has been reverted.
Your edit here to Alex Preston (singer) 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.facebook.com/OfficialAlexPreston/) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia.
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) 12:14, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

Regarding your edits to Alex Preston (singer)

Your addition has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text, or images borrowed from other websites, or printed material without a verifiable license; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 16:50, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

Re your message: As noted in the message above, you will need to follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. However, unless you are Alex Preston, which I'm pretty sure you are not, you will need to get permission from him as you can not assign the correct license yourself. You will need to get Alex Preston to send Wikimedia permission to use material from his website. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 19:38, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
