January 2016 edit
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Cats and the Internet has been reverted.
Your edit here to Cats and the Internet 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=U0vIdvJIjGk) 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. a sound or video file) 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. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 01:34, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
Friskies / Meowface edit
Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Cats and the Internet. 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.--McGeddon (talk) 21:12, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
- Not sure what "Shironeko" refers to - all I did was cut all the links you added to friskies50.com and meowfacemusic.com. Sorry if you found it confusing and "frightening" to have someone else working on the article fifteen minutes after you did, but Wikipedia is a collaborative effort and editors regularly work alongside one another (the edit interface pops up a warning if you're about to overwrite text that somebody else was writing at the same time, and lets you ensure that nothing is lost by mistake).
- If you want to improve the sections you've added to the article, they need reliable secondary sources such as newspaper coverage. If the only mention of these cats is general social media sharing and the cats' own web pages, then they aren't in the same league as Lil Bub and the others and shouldn't be listed in an encyclopedia. --McGeddon (talk) 22:23, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
- Oh, wait, looking at the history of the page I can't see that the article has ever mentioned Shironeko. Perhaps you'd written a section, I'd made my edit while you were writing it, and you got the standard edit conflict alert telling you that somebody had edited the page in the meantime, and you just closed the browser tab because you didn't know what it was saying?
- When that happens, you're given two versions of the article (yours and the latest one - mine, in this case) and are left to copy your bit into my bit by hand. (Wikipedia isn't clever enough to do that by itself, because it doesn't understand the nuance of what both editors might have been trying to do; the slower editor needs to fix it together manually.)
Your recent edits edit
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:
- Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
- With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (
or 
) located above the edit window.
This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
