Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Broomhill Pool, Ipswich has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://groups.yahoo.com/group/poolingresources (matching the regex rule groups\.yahoo\.com).
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.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added such as to the page Broomhill Pool, Ipswich do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia.

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did in this edit to Broomhill Pool, Ipswich. Inappropriate links include links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that serve as advertising or promotion. Thank you.

Kingsbury, Warwickshire

I'm sure the closure of the swimming pool will be a great loss to the community, but unfortunately Wikipedia isn't the place to lobby for people to sign a petition. There are plenty of other places on the web where you can do this. One thought though, why don't you consider starting a petition on the Downing Street websire if you feel strongly about the issue. TheRetroGuy (talk) 19:24, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've moevd the information to the Kingsbury School article which I feel is a more appropriate place. Thanks TheRetroGuy (talk) 19:18, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

But, Wikipedia isn't the place to make political statements (as you did here). Please stop making these edits or I'll have to start issuing warnings and I don't want to do that. Start a letter writing campaign to the local MP or something. Thanks. TheRetroGuy (talk) 19:29, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

November 2009

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add content (particularly if you change facts and figures), as you have to the article Kingsbury, Warwickshire, please cite a reliable source for the content you're adding or changing. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. Take a look at Wikipedia:Citing sources for information about how to cite sources and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. TheRetroGuy (talk) 20:07, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

And this doesn't mean the campaign website by the way. TheRetroGuy (talk) 20:07, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit to the article answers the question of WP:V, but I'm just not convinced that the information is relevant to this article (though it obviously is to the school article). However, rather than get drawn into an edit war I'm going to request a third opinion on the matter. TheRetroGuy (talk) 19:20, 21 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Third opinion discussion now open. Feel free to add your thoughts at the article's talk page. Thanks. TheRetroGuy (talk) 19:59, 21 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Stop adding the text about the pool to the Kingsbury article. Wikipedia is not a place to promote your cause. — HelloAnnyong ^{(say whaaat?!)} 03:34, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not a soapbox

You asked me to be more clear about my objection to the information being included in the article. [1] Take a look at WP:SOAPBOX for a few guidelines. Thanks TheRetroGuy (talk) 14:01, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The information just isn't relevant to that particular article. It's as simple as that really. Local authorities are always withdrawing funding for this facility or that facility and including all this information on Wikipedia could be problematic. Consider, for example, if we were to add information on all the playing fields that get sold off for housing development or to build a new Tesco store, or the threat of the withdrawal of a local bus route. We could end up with paragraphs and paragraphs of information that's only useful to a handful of people. If you're still unhappy with this decision then please take a look at WP:DISPUTE and consider asking for some assistance. TheRetroGuy (talk) 23:24, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

ok, you're clearly not happy with all this so I'm not going to argue any more. As you're also not hapy with the third opinion of another editor then please go to WP:DISPUTE and post a request there. Others will be able to decide whether or not the information should be included. Thanks and good luck.TheRetroGuy (talk) 13:11, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
