Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Conway's Game of Life has been reverted.
Your edit here to Conway's Game of Life 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=oBBvOPDoQtQ&feature=share, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Izon2P6e9xA&feature=share, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d62awpBCiLU&feature=share, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWlbj9fUACs&feature=share, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2zxLTUR3fU&feature=share, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Izon2P6e9xA&feature=share, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d62awpBCiLU&feature=share, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGUUTt7v7_A&feature=share, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJ8Efj6xEFY&feature=share) 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. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 11:19, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello ARK Mforwiki, thank you for your efforts to improve Wikipedia articles. However, external links - including YouTube links - are generally not used in the main body of articles (with a few rare exceptions). The usage of external links in sections like "Further reading" or "External links" is restricted with a long list of limitations to ensure that only the most relevant links with accurate information from knowledgeable sources are added. You'll find the detailed guideline at WP:EL, including various gradings from "OK" to "sometimes" to "usually not" down to "never under no circumstances". Please feel free to ask, if you have additional questions, or you can post for advice at WP:Teahouse, a forum for new editors. If you are unsure about the usage of a specific link, there is also Wikipedia:External links/Noticeboard available as specialized forum for link-related advice and issues. Best regards.

Hello, I'm Viewmont Viking. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added 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. Thank you. --VViking_TalkEdits 13:41, 9 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. 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.--VViking_TalkEdits 13:05, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
