Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Fluffy has been reverted.
Your edit here to Fluffy 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 (http://www.facebook.com/Princefluffykareem) 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) 18:56, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Fluffy. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. ☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(talk) 19:44, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

Hello. Your recent edit to Fluffy appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person or organization added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you.

Hi being new to this I realised my mistake in linking to an external website address having received the message generated by the automatedbot. So I took the link off. My question is how do I therefore back up my decription cite my sources? Ie prove where the term comes from and why its used in that way? thanks Emma Lemons Thompson (talk) 20:26, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

You need to use WP:Reliable sources to back up your statement. Links to Web pages that anyone can make (like Facebook pages) aren't reliable sources. Jackmcbarn (talk) 20:29, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

Thanks I will look for the reference on Channel 4 assuming their website fits the criteria :)
