Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, one or more of the external links you added to the page The Colbert Report do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. This also applies for Stephen Colbert (character). I support Colbert, but it's just spam. mattbuck 21:53, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

- Hi. Generally, as per WP:External Links, linking to social networking sites is discouraged. While I am a member of the group in question, a facebook group is not a reliable source or resource for stephen's presidential campaign. It would also qualify as a site that requires registration. Oh, and lest i forget, please sign your posts on talk pages using ~~~~. Thanks. mattbuck 22:21, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
- where do I reply to you? here? I've posted all over creation. I'll check out the formal business. Guidelines are guidelines. Meanwhile, the way I see it, it's the equivalent of suggesting people turn toward the window and notice the 500,000-person circus outside. It's not about being a credible reference or repository of facts, but a signifier in and of itself, a dynamic demonstration of a significant phenomenon. Sort of a "see for yourself". and yeah... sineBot caught up with me (nice use of "lest" tho)

- No problem. I think wikipolicy is to reply on the other person's talk page, but that always seemed a bit silly to me, as you forget what the other person said... Anyway, I am going afk, so happy editing. mattbuck 22:33, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
