  Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Ruby (programming language). 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. Aoidh (talk) 15:31, 19 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. 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. ... richi (hello) 15:35, 19 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living (or recently deceased) persons, as you did to Al Sharpton. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 02:57, 8 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

As I wrote -- perhaps you should read the explanation provided BEFORE demanding an explanation be provided? -- you already tried this stunt a month ago and all of your additions were removed -- one by one -- by several editors:

So, clean sweep. You want this stuff included? Five editors in total have removed them: the burden is on YOU to prove they belong. --Calton | Talk 17:50, 6 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

"(I agree with the removal of journalism since he specializes in falsely editing videos. I don't think videography fits his work.) ]" - I'm trying to understand why something such as this statement, for example, is an accepted justification for the removal of journalism, and videography. If you look at those two Wikipedia pages, just like the current Activism one is linked to, and it's been considered acceptable, they describe professional work this person does on those pages. Why is the opinion of a user allowed to override the definition of work done by a professional in this case?

Your lack of understanding and of basic research (seeTalk:James_O'Keefe/Archive_1#Is_he_really_a_journalist.3F) is irrelevant; your ability to actually make an actual argument on the talk page is. --Calton | Talk 21:35, 6 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at James O'Keefe. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, 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 be blocked from editing Wikipedia. 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 block. Thank you. (I am not watching this page, so please ping me if you want my attention.) --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 04:31, 7 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
