Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Roxanne Seeman has been reverted.
Your edit here to Roxanne Seeman 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.youtube.com/watch?v=fWK9SomqYF4) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. music or video) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original.
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.

  Hello, I'm XLinkBot. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added to Walking on the Chinese Wall have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links.  
Your edit here to Walking on the Chinese Wall was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links in references which are discouraged per our reliable sources guideline. The reference(s) you added or changed (https://www.discogs.com/Philip-Bailey-Walking-On-The-Chinese-Wall/release/530447) 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.

  Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Billie Hughes. 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.

Request reason:

I did not vote and was not involved in any discussions on the AfD. Before the AfD, I only did minor edits such as citations. I did not add or change any text. I am not a sockpuppet, not a fake account, not a paid editor, not a WP:MEAT. I was editing on the same IP of my mentor learning about the music business for education purposes. I will not do that again.

Decline reason:

Procedural decline only. There's not enough information to take action here. Who is your mentor, what is their account? How is this not a violation of WP:MEAT? I want to be clear, this may be fine but it may also be totally inappropriate. Yamla (talk) 19:46, 15 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
