I think we need to stay clear of promotional sites such as that, so I reverted your edit. If you think that was an error, let's discuss it on the article's talk page. Cheers.

A barnstar for you!
dead linksNot sure what the official Wikipedia policy on dead links is, but I generally do several things before I remove a dead link, if I do at all. These might include:
Just FYI; the dead link you removed at the Venera article, for example, wasn't actually dead. Cheers! Wingman4l7 (talk) 06:09, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for September 24Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Maria Goia, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Unionist (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

I've thus deleted a few See also links to Greek mythology that you've added to Greek myth stubs that already include the link. Later, davidiad.:τ 23:58, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

Please note WP:See also says "As a general rule the "See also" section should not repeat links which appear in the article's body or its navigation boxes. Thus, many high-quality, comprehensive articles do not have a "See also" section." So I removed the link....William 17:46, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

ReferencesPlease use high quality references per WP:MEDRS such as review articles or major textbooks. Note that review articles are NOT the same as peer reviewed articles.

Removal of red linksHi Richard. I noticed you removed red links from the Long Karabangan article, but I don't think this was in accordance with WP:REDLINK. On what basis did you consider that the red links were "unlikely ever to have an article"? The MOS section "When to create red links" (WP:REDYES) says "please do create red links to articles you intend to create, technical terms that deserve treatment beyond a mere dictionary definition and topics which should obviously have articles." I've been working slowly through some of the villages in Sarawak, creating short articles and interlinking them. I don't want to have to go back and put links back in every time I create a new article. The red links are intentional and are in accordance with the MOS. I'm not doubting your good intentions, but I think that your removal of red links may be based on a misunderstanding of their value to Wikipedia. As it says in the MOS, red links help Wikipedia to grow: "Good red links help Wikipedia—they encourage new contributors in useful directions, and remind us that Wikipedia is far from finished."

Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 12:10, 28 January 2013 (UTC) red linksHi Richard, It looks like you aren't doing this any more, but just in case. Could you not delete red links like this one? They serve several purposes: they show where new articles are needed, and when those articles are created, they're automatically linked from relevant articles through the red links. Also, when you enter a topic in search (such as the ISO name of a language), and the article doesn't exist, you can still click 'what links here' to see its context on WP. I'm not into geo, but I would assume that red links serve a similar purpose in cases like this. See WP:REDYES, if you aren't familiar w it already. Thanks — kwami (talk) 23:42, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
Red links (again)Hello Richard, I see this has been brought up a number of times before. But you are still continuing to delete red links from articles. Here you deleted a ship link. These are valid links, given that naval ships are continued article worthy, an article will one day be written. And again here. As a Member of Parliament the subject will one day have an article, one just hasn't been written yet. Here you deleted another one, which left a mangled mess of wiki formatting, and here is another example of this. Here you delete a perfectly valid blue link for some reason. And here you actually add a couple of links that are textbook cases of WP:OVERLINKING. I've been watching your edits more closely since they've been popping up on my screen. Please take into account what people are saying about WP:REDLINK. You are actually making more work for other people now, which might lead to this situation escalating. If you are in doubt about whether a red link is a valid one, please err on the side of caution and do not delete it. Benea (talk) 16:58, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
Hello. There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Benea (talk) 23:38, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
 {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. You have been asked politely again and again to elaborate on your constant removal of redlinks, but still you went on here after Chris Cunningham warned you about a block. So I have now blocked you to prevent further disruption. Please take this time out to respond to this disputed editing practice of yours – either here at your talk page or at the admin noticeboard once the block has expired.

Inappropriate referencesI notice you've been adding citations to references, but the references don't always support the claims you're tagging. For example, in this edit you tagged the sentence "It also features songs that weren't used in the show but were inspired by it." with a citation to http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0492878/soundtrack. However, that IMDb page is simply a list of songs; nothing on it supports the claims that they weren't used in the show, or that they were inspired by the show. Similarly, in this edit you cite http://en.vionto.com/show/me/Muhnot+Nainsi for the claim "Muhnot Nainsi (1610–1670) was an Indian historian who wrote many books on history of region of the present Rajasthan and Gujarat." However, that link goes to some sort of linked data visualization and exploration tool which uses Wikipedia itself as a source. It doesn't make any direct claims about Nainsi's identity and literature, but even if it did, this would be a circular reference to Wikipedia. And in this edit, you cite http://www.fishwatch.gov/seafood_profiles/species/sea_bass/species_pages/black_sea_bass.htm for the claim that "[The black sea bass] is a type of Grouper (Serranidae) found more commonly in northern than in southern ranges." That web page does indicate that the black sea bass is a grouper, but it doesn't make any claim about the difference in size of the northern and southern populations. (It does say that the southern one is overfished, but doesn't claim that its population size or density is lower than the northern.) Could I please ask that in the future you carefully check the material in the citation against the claim you are using it to support? And please make sure that the source is reliable before adding it as a citation. Thanks! —Psychonaut (talk) 15:11, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
You added a reference here. Not only is a link to a Google books title page seldom helpful and was it unclear how this book was supposed to reference that exact statement, but worse is that the book you linked to is published by Alphascript, which does nothing but republish articles taken from Wikipedia. Basically, you were using the Klystron article to reference the Klystron article... Similarly, your reference here was a link to a page that copies Wikipedia. I have no idea what you are trying to say in this edit, the link discusses the survival rate "after discarding" (i.e. a deepwater fish is brought up with a net, and then thrown back into the water: wil it survive this?), not the general survival rate. I have removed your edit here as well. Here as well you used a republisher of Wikipedia content as a reference for Wikipedia. Please make sure that the books you use as references come from reliable publishers only. Here you added an empty section. This should generally be avoided. And a minor point, the section header should have been "Awards and nominations", lowercase n. Please be more careful when adding (or using) sources.
