List of SMS gateways (redux)While other recent additions to List of SMS gateways were left alone, the very next addition after my recent reverts was reverted. The address was of a different form than usual, info@ibs.com.jo rather than number@domain. I'm not sure about the correctness of the entry (I can't find any details in English on their web site to explain what that info is), but again this is a false positive on the e-mail address.

Christina Petrowska Quilico - Official YouTube ChannelThis edit removed a link to the subject’s Official YouTube Channel. She owns copyright on the video(s) uploaded. While I understand that YouTube content is often copyright-impaired, such is not so in this case. I’ll revert it to include the link, and hope that the explanation here is considered, if this matter is revisited. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.231.42.109 (talk) 03:54, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

Brian Sherwin blog needs to be whitelistedThe link I added to VIP Art Fair was written by a recognized, reliable source. It was written by art critic Brian Sherwin. His writing for Myartspace and his personal blog has been featured by Huffington Post, The Boston Globe, Juxtapoz Magazine and several other reliable sources. I’ve even found references to his writing on Mashable. He interviewed Wikipedia’s Jimmy Wales for Myartspace in 2009 after the Wikipedia Art controversy. The challenge of art coverage on Wikipedia was discussed. By Wikipedia consensus Sherwin is a notable writer and art critic. Considering the number of interviews he has had with artists that have helped strengthen Wikipedia articles it would be a shame if links are not allowed because he uses Blogspot. Wikipedia stands to lose a lot of art coverage if links to his writing are blocked. The irony being that Sherwin discussed that same problem with Wales in 2009. http://www.briansherwin-artcritic.blogspot.com/ and http://myartspace-blog.blogspot.com/ should both be whitelisted. From what I’ve seen the myartspace blog switched to Blogspot after having a personalized url for 5 years. http://faso.com/fineartviews should be whitelisted as well for articles written by Brian Sherwin. I don't know the process for whitelisting. The field of art criticism has changed dramatically over the last decade with writers like Sherwin, Paddy Johnson and Jerry Saltz contributing heavily online. These are established writers who have decided to work independently from, or in addition to, traditional print. I've been trying to help improve Wikipedia articles involving these writers and the art blog article itself.SunRiddled (talk) 01:31, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

My ThanksXLinkBot, it has been about a year since I first started editing Wikipedia, but it wasn't until a few days ago I saw your comments about two breaches in Wikipedia policy I made. I thank you for clarifying your actions, and they have given me a great incentive to return to editing on this site, provided I carefully read and understand the merit of this site's policies in regards to keeping neutral points of view towards a subject, and fighting copyright infringement. On the first regarding the Facebook link I put on the Earl Wooster High School page, that was a clear mistake on my part that should never have been attempted. On the second, as being one of Kelsie B. Harder's grandsons, I should hope to find a picture somewhere in our house that can be used on his page, rather than the one used in his NY times obituary. I do hope individuals like you will continue to offer such crisp and gentle honesty in their job as editors of new contributions from people like myself, as I wish to return the same through good and quality contributions to this site in the future. Thanks for your time. Tanaka Harder (talk) 03:58, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

Reverted External Link not a BlogXLinkBot reverted my addition of an external link to the Eucharist page entry on 10 April 2011, presumably because the link was to a WordPress site and the bot automatically assumed that this source was a blog. However, the source cited is not a blog. It is an E-book that was incidentally published on the WordPress platform. The author, Fr Frank O'Dea SSS, has authority as a former co-ordinator of the Life in the Eucharist (LITE) movement in Australia, which is sponsored worldwide by the Blessed Sacrament Congregation (of which Fr O'Dea is a member). The source provides a comprehensive introduction to the spirituality of the Eucharist from a Catholic, and wider Christian, perspective. It would be a valuable external link to provide in the Eucharist entry. Could consideration please be given to undoing the XLinkBot reversion? With thanks. Keystone123 (talk) 03:03, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for your advice, but it looks like I can't do it myself. When I try to undo, the bot reverts it. As I said, the link is NOT to a WordPress blog. It is to a scholarly book that has been published on WordPress. Because the bot does not discriminate between what is published on WordPress, I have tried to undo the reversion as you kindly suggested I could, but to no avail.

External link references on West Hartlepool War Memorial to certain website statements by official bodies regarding First World War memorialsThe question here is surely what constitutes acceptable evidence? I am sorry but it seems that nowhere within Wikipedia so far as I can make out is this question tackled in a way recognizable with the traditional criteria on this very important matter. So far as this particular external link (relating in the first instance to the War Memorial Trust, a charity, but also to other bodies within the government of the UK under equitable legislation) is concerned, it is conceded that the presumption must be that what is said by them is correct. In the present instance, however, this can be quite easily demonstrated, on documentary evidence, not to be the case. Until that issue has been discussed in a sensible fashion for all to see on the Talk page I suggest that the removal of this particular addition to this particular section of the External Links on this page West Hartlepool War Memorial is arguably out of order so far as the public interest is concerned. As the author responsible of this text, can I look forward therefore to something rather different from this entirely arbitrary sort of procedure? I repeat that this is an issue of national significance. Peter Judge — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.13.79.52 (talk) 09:22, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

bot errors1. [3]. Justified BLP prod place, references added, prod remove. the bot put them on again without justification. I am really startled by this one--how can the bot possibly carry out the deletion of sourced content in that article--byt what authority does it do so? DGG ( talk ) 06:55, 13 July 2011 (UTC) ,
Three of the references, and one of the ELs removed were not from twitter, but from RSs for the subject involved. The only twitter link removed was one in the EL. Were it just removal of the twitter link ,I would not have been so concerned. There's a difference between reverting the addition of a link, which is an acceptable task for a bot, because it does little collateral damage, and removing all of an edit that among other things includes a twitter link, which is a less acceptable task for a bot because it can and in this case did involve collateral damage. And the collateral error in this case was to remove all the references supporting a BLP article. Were it a human who did that, they would have received a level 3 or 4 warning for unacceptable editing--some admins I know would have even considered it BLP vandalism, to damage the encyclopedia by removing the support for a valid BLP article. . I remain surprised that such was ever approved, if it fact it was. Perhaps the action of the bot should be limited to cases where the presumably bad link is the only edit. or to just removing the actual bad link, not the entire edit, if such is programmable..

Add per-link reasons?
Here is a link revert. I didn't make the link, but it seemed at least on-topic. I don't know which of the XLinkBot it violates, so I have no idea whether to dispute it or not. I read the FAQ, and visited the RevertList. Neither one was enlightening. Please consider adding an optional field to each line of the RevertList saying why that link is commonly reverted. Then that optional field could be populated over time. Then, ideally, when I visited the RevertList, I'd know better why that link was reverted. It could even be added into the revert comment. dfrankow (talk) 15:29, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

excessive editingI note "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" The bot is supposed to revert only links. If it reverts edits that contain other things than links, it should not be doing it. I suggest two possible solutions. The simplest is not to revert an edit if it does more than just add a link. The second, which I recognize will be difficult to program, is for it to revert only the part of an edit that includes a link. DGG ( talk ) 03:52, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

How to report/edit a broken link?There is a broken link on the entry on Itsuo Tsuda. The link is Reference #2 and is the source for a fact mentioned in the body of the article. Removing the broken link will then remove the citation for the fact. I did not write the original fact or place the original link. I have tried searching within the linked domain for the original page, but no luck. I would like to remove the broken link, but would first like some advice.

List of changes in Star Wars re-releases
the article is about fan edits - I am a fan editor - my STAR WARS fan edit should be mentioned because I am possibly the first one who created one -VolleyballBernd (talk) 22:46, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
"Already in 1998, fan editor Bernd Dötzer was working on his first version of his extended motion picture version of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, called BERND DÖTZERs FINAL CUT (BDFC), still updated with new extensions every year. " I am the creator of this fan edit, if this is an article about fan edits, my fan cut should be named because I started working before the "Phantom Editor" began working on his "Phantom Edit" - so I am one of the first STAR WARS fan editors ever. My STAR WARS fan edits are possibly the best documentated one's worldwide. In order to prove all this I added a link to a trailer of my fan edit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHdEYERMtuo and a link to the page where all my fan edits are documented: http://www.starwars-union.de/sw/bdfc/ By the way: this page is a non-commercial STAR WARS fan page, the biggest German STAR WARS fan page, no other thing than "theforce.net" (so why are links to theforce.net on wiki?) My little article addition was deleted, because of the contained links. BUT: After this I added my article again WITHOUT any links - and it is again deleted! How will you show the public in an article about fan edits that specific fan edits really exist if you are not allowed by Wiki to show links? But why deleting my article without links? - because there is no proof? That is not logically. I want to say that I - in contrary to many other fan editors - do not give away copies of my fan edit via internet or other forms of duplication (only original cast and crew members of the original SW movies and the few persons who helped me got a copy), only trailers and photos and documentary articles are "on the air", not the complete fan edit. The links only show these trailers and documentary articles. Please undelete my short addition of the article (with or without the links). Thank you very much. VolleyballBernd Here is the message I received from Wiki concerning the deletion of my article with the links: Dear VolleyballBernd, The Wikipedia page "User talk:VolleyballBernd" has been changed on 18 September 2011 by XLinkBot, with the edit summary: BOT - Notifying user of reverted link additions to [[List of changes in Star Wars re-releases]] (first warning) - 2/1/1 - links: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHdEYERMtuo See http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:VolleyballBernd&diff=0&oldid=451116654 for all changes since your last visit.

Reason(s) for removing linksHi XLinkBot, This is probably a FAQ but I'll ask it anyway... Could the bot include in its edit summary the specific reason for making an edit? For example, I assume that this edit was due to the links being to foreign language sites contrary to the external link guidelines, but the summary doesn't say that. In this particular case, I suspect the globalness of the term "coolhunting" is a matter of significance; that's a discussion for the article talk page, not yours, but that does raise the question of how the bot judges what is and is not appropriate in the actual context of a (hopefully) human-written article. --Northernhenge (talk) 18:43, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

Otago University Debating SocietyThe change in link was due to the factor that the website that was the official OUDS web page has not been updated in recent time, where as the Face book page is now the major form of communication for the OUDS. I understand that this is in contradiction to the Wikipedia links policy but i saw it as more important to provide relevant information than out dated information. i have not reverted the link but have removed the old link as it is no longer relevant to the society.

David Barton (author) pageEditor- I have attempted to leave honest comments or edits on 3 occasions, and have attempted to be in line with your guidelines which are somewhat controlled or confusing. My concern is that wikipedia is presenting a rather biased view of Mr. Barton by using references from Rob Boston and a Reverend who are not reliable sources. David Barton has been extremely honest in dealing with criticism and has for over 10 years provided primary source references in all his writings and videos. I do not understand why wikipedia cannot allow a more fair presentation of Barton and wallbuilders. sincerely, norm1m — Preceding unsigned comment added by Norm1m (talk • contribs) 16:08, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
Mistaken reversion (bug)On the page Esther alvarenga (now deleted), XlinkBot reverted my addition of a CSD template. It was trying to remove the edit before mine, which had added a link to facebook to the page, and it must've done it just barely after I hit submit; it reverted both my edit and the edit before mine. No big deal, just letting you know there was a concurrency issue, I guess. Writ Keeper (talk) 00:45, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

Misleading welcomesNot a huge deal, but I thought I should mention that when XLinkBot removes a link and warns a user whose talk page has not yet been created, it leaves a misleading welcome message, like here. "If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question and then place {{helpme}} before the question on this page." Some new users would probably be confused by this, as there really isn't a person behind the message to answer questions. Calabe1992 (talk) 19:42, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
my addition of external link to Hannah SimoneI know this is only a bot, but still. That revert was just stupid. If that kind of link is "discouraged", why not just remove the whole link rather than revert the old one which is not the real path. The path had probably changed in that website, so I only corrected it. Now there is still the wrong link, but in the same site, which I thought, is 'discouraged' as informed to me. 82.141.64.202 (talk) 00:36, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
Request for whitelistingHiya XLinkBot! I would like to suggest whitelisting this section to save any potential confusion. Although I watch the page closely I might lose connection or something else might stop me paying attention so I wouldn't ask for the whole page to be whitelisted (Unless section whitelisting was not possible). I wonder also if you might know a way to avoid triggering the "adding email" tag every time a change is made? Sometimes it is triggered by reverting vandalism. It would be nice to not have so many tags on me I look like a criminal!

The problem is, your bot is doing it blindly. In the case of List of world records in masters athletics, it has removed video documentation of the world records. This is privately shot, non-commercial footage. I didn't shoot it, I don't know who did. But I had to revert your bot, as did the original poster after the bot came back. I do know there was no exclusivity on shooting the event, no TV contract. As the wikipedia credentialed reporter at this particular event, I do know more than the average person about this situation, but the point is, your bot isn't and doesn't. So please reconfigure your bot to stop removing youtube links. They are not universally spam. Your programming on a bot needs to take care of universally recognized problems, not to do destructive work, even in a relatively small percentage of its edits. Two bad edits are two too much.

wrongThanks for your apparently well-intentioned edit, but the link you removed was a useful one which contained information not available in electronic form elsewhere. I'm not sure why you think it was wrong; your edit summary was not very informative: it said very little other than "I didn't like your link, here are some possible reasons I might not have liked it." I would like to suggest that you actually read the link you deleted before deleting it-- http://zagria.blogspot.com/2010/08/jessica-amanda-salmonson-1950-writer.html -- before deciding it's not useful, but, of course, you're a robot, and don't know how to read.

I suggest that the bot be programmed to check that the "email address" does not end with common file formats (I would assume .jpg, .bmp, .gif, and probably more formats that I've never heard of).

Odd bot behaviourWith this edit on Vickers Vimy, while removing an external link, your bot also replaced £10,000 with £10,000 and mangled a couple of categories, breaking them. Can you check out this problem?Nigel Ish (talk) 17:25, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
False positiveBot reported User:114.160.71.146 for facebook links, but recent edits don't seem to be doing that. Perhaps the algorithm needs tweaking. It looks like they used to do so, but the edits today do not contain such problems. --Jayron32 03:56, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
Another false positiveSee [12]. What part of "Except for a link to an official page of the article's subject" do you not understand? Twitter links are ok if they are controlled by the article's subject. That's why we have {{Twitter}} template missing ID and not present in Wikidata. ?

I am a bit ashamed, I had a big bug in the linkwatcher (the bot that actually feeds XLinkBot). What XLinkBot was saying was actually right, what it did was wrong. The LinkWatcher reported link additions that were not there, causing a revert instruction to XLinkBot, who did just that, revert. I have a) solved the bug, and b) added a check to XLinkBot whether the link was actually added. XLinkBot is now running with editing turned off, and I will have a good look on the fake-reverts it does now for a couple of edits before turning it back on. Thanks for catching this. All the top-edits should at least be reverted for .. I don't know how long (probably all those where the bot did not report a link, but did revert). Again, my apologies. --Dirk Beetstra T C 15:35, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

Joy Williams of The Civil WarsI reverted the Bot's action. Here's why. Tonight, Joy Williams of The Civil Wars won two Grammy Awards for "Barton Hollow". I added two, (only two), links of official videos which were uploaded by THE CIVIL WARS. I feel quite certain the Civil Wars group will be extremely happy to have those links included since they will help people learn what type of music they play. Please let a human being examine the links and see if they are appropriate. They are. Also, Wikipedia users want to see a couple examples of work done by Grammy winners. Like I said, please check the links. They are appropriate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.30.94.19 (talk • contribs)

What I wrote is lengthy; you can scan it or just know that it boils down to this: Is an official Facebook page, Twitter, MySpace, or YouTube channel that is run by the subject of the Wiki article ever allowed to be posted as an official link under the "External links section", per WP:ELOFFICIAL, WP:BLP, and WP:TWITTER? Or will it always be taken down by an automatic bot that "reacts" to facebook.com, twitter.com, etc., no matter whether they are official or not? Thanks for your time... none of this is urgent...

Factual inaccuracyThe reason I removed Scott Rigell from the list of board members for the Emergency Committee for Israel is because he is not and has never been on the board of, involved, or in any way affiliated with the group.

Please whitelist links from AusBT.com.auFor some reason, 'Australian Business Traveller' (www.AusBT.com.au) has been placed on a list of 'unreliable sources' and links to articles citing AusBT as a reference are being automatically removed. It should be noted that AusBT is a news-based online publication employing professional journalists, not a blog run by amateurs nor a forum which circulates rumour. The site regularly breaks stories related to travel and aviation, attends media conferences and famils with airlines and the content is on a par with comparative publications already in Wikipedia's link-approved 'reliable source' list such as Business Traveller, The Sydney Morning Herald, The Australia, AAP and others. I'd appreciate if this could be addressed and am happy to provide additional information as needed. Djsflynn (talk) 09:57, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
Righto guys – I've checked those links and read the information. 1. So I take it that while I can't cite and link to AusBT due to COI, anybody else can? 2. Is Wiki's earlier assessment of AusBT as an 'unreliable source' still in place - and if so, what type of information or examples of content do you need for that to be reconsidered?

Newbies rarely understanding the lay of the land and the result is they are easily "bitten' or feal the have been bitten.

Please clarify the differenceIn the header information on User:XLinkBot/RevertReferencesList, would you please clarify whether an entry on this list in inclusive or exclusive of the main revertlist? That is, if a pattern exists on the RevertReferencesList, does the bot revert only links inside references, or also links inside references as well as links outside references? The latter makes more sense to me, but I am not certain how it works. I need to add one that's been refspammed as well as linkspammed, but I don't know if I should add it to both lists, or just to the RevertReferencesList. ~Amatulić (talk) 18:31, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
no thanks for the reversionYour bot undid my addition of an about.com crime link as an external link. This site and truTV are used all over true crime pages as sources, so I found it difficult to believe it is somehow no longer a valid external link. I looked at the vaguely worded policy pages advanced as support for this, and found nothing that mentioned about.com. Is this another hidden rule that those of use who are not wiki-insiders are somehow supposed to divine from the overwhelming plethora of policy babble whose bulk seems to approach that of the Tax Court reports? What's really funny is that this link should be reverted while piers morgan's blog sits smack dab in the middle of the article with impunity.

revert of my revision on Czech bluegrassHello, I noticed that my Revision on the above page dated as of 23:58, 10 March 2011 was reverted. The reason for my revision was that I noticed the links were incorrect. I stated in the reason for revision the following (I will split this into the individual steps and include deeper reason for it):"updated my Prague jam to a new site jam.bg4.eu listing most Open jams in Czech Republic" I simply noticed that somebody listed my own jam from folkjam.org (you can notice this page is in the name of Alarix, which is my nick) to my jam.bg4.eu site. 1) I did not enter this link to my site to wikipedia (it was done by Revision as of 15:29, 27 February 2008, name is only as "63.77.210.3") 2) While I am still using the folkjam for my open jams, this address was in fact corrected by the page owner www.folkjam.org/recurring-jam/cz/pr/prague/open-bluegrass-jam-session-prague-u-supa. 3) For this reason, this link was no more usable and I needed to correct it! 4) As this (on folkjam) is only a single jam session and my account has no option to list all jams I have there (you can notice I am one of the top contributors there), I wanted the link to be more universal so changed the link to my page which gives more scope for everyone trying to learn more about open bluegrass jams in the Czech Republic. As to the "added its facebook site", this is probably correct removal (I was not aware that facebook links were not permitted). As to the "corrected ebma web address and added the ebma facebook site" - this is again an update which was needed as 1) ebma is a pan-european bluegrass site, 2) I did not add that link 3) but the old link does not work as ebma changed its site! 4) so for this reason, knowing I was doing the right thing, I updated it. As to the "added most lively Czech bluegrass portal bgcz.net" - this needs no more comment - this is the central information on Czech bluegrass and it was missing. As to the "and corrected the CZ as" - this was an outdated link to Czech bluegrass association and I corrected it. So I guess except for the removal of facebook site your revert was absolutely incorrect and I am going to revert the revert, if I can manage it.

I do not think they vio. copyright (probably uploaded by the videographers, not copied from news, etc). They are somewhat similar, so maybe one would be enough, but I think it's important to have at least one.

Removed links to MySpace from wikipedia articleThe September Sessions had links to MySpace pages, which are the bands official pages. These musical groups do not have a www site, nor a wikipedia page about them. I prefer to use the wikilink first, but if a wikilink is unavailable then I try to link the subject to an external site on www, not MySpace nor Facebook. However, these musical groups only had MySpace pages. This XLinkBot prevented links to these musical groups. So, I rewrote the article removing the MySpace links. However, these MySpace pages are very useful for referencing musical groups. Many songs and historical synopsis for musical groups are only at MySpace.

YoutubeHi, I just got this message after trying to add a video portrait on a page Your edit here to Bindeshwar Pathak 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 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khxTqkP3GyQ) 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. I represent the company who did the portrait, we have full rights on it and content is relevent. Is there still a problem ? (I have some others to do the same way). Cheers — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.2.190.172 (talk) 14:39, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
And both your added youtube video's fail the guideline. We are not a linkfarm or an internet directory. Moreover, not too long ago I did a quick check of 10 added youtube links, and 2 of them were linking to very likely copyright violations (and were superfluous in other ways). And that superfluousness goes for many other youtube links as well). And the 'far too many edits' reverting is explained both in the FAQ and in the message left on your talkpage. It explains you the problems, and why it does it, and what you can do. YouTube contains good info, but by far most of it is not suitable for Wikipedia, or does not need linking in the first place. If you take that in consideration (and I am sure both of you will do that next time when considering a YouTube link), then you will not have any problems with the bot.
