March 2010

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast bomb 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=cuGrDSP0rj8 (matching the regex rule \byoutube\.com). 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. Video links are also strongly deprecated by our guidelines for external links, partly because they're useless to people with slow internet connections.
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) 21:37, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

Adoption

Greetings Stringer1993, I see you're up for adoption, and I'm in the market. If ever you need advice or answers, just ask me -- any question, any time. I'd like to help however I can. Happy editing - Draeco (talk) 21:12, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Two huge questions. Generally, the word on images is found at Wikipedia:Images. You insert images with the basic form:

[[File:Example.png|thumb|alt=Example alt text|Example caption]]

Copyright is a very complex area; the best reading for this is WP:IUP. I wish I could explain further, but beyond the nutshell explanation I've given so far, you just have to dive into the nitty gritty. - Draeco (talk) 18:00, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Deletionism and inclusionism in Wikipedia is the main article that Wikipedia itself offers on the topic. See also m:Inclusionism (on Wikimedia, the parent organization of all wiki projects) and the infobox along the right for a colleciton of articles on each of several different wiki philosophies. - Draeco (talk) 23:43, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Congratulations, but I must warn you that you will need to provide references quickly that bring it in line with the general notability guideline or Wikipedia's less-inclusionist editors likely will be putting it up for deletion at AfD. - Draeco (talk) 20:49, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

Bravo. It's a very interesting and reasonably well-written article. I see the deletion challenge has come and gone, it should be clear now. The citations could still be a bit streamlined into wiki format; I'll do that. - Draeco (talk) 16:35, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

Any way you could secure a picture of Skinput in action? It would need to comply with WP's policy on image use (basically something in the public domain, taken by yourself, or with express permission from the author), but it would improve the article. - Draeco (talk) 17:19, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
