A friendlier welcome perhaps

Dear Charlotte,

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed you seem to have run into some disputes over editing of articles that deal with yourself and Jonathan. I hope maybe I can offer a more helpful approach to any difficulties you have here. I am very much a fan of your work (indeed your art) and I would hate for Wikipedia to be doing you any genuine injustice.

I have to say there is a recognised set of unresolved issues concerning what happens when people mentioned in Wiki articles feel those articles are inaccurate or unfair. I hope by now you will have been able to read some of the policy and guidelines referred to by User:Berean Hunter and that you might see there are good reasons why these things were put in place. Unfortunately there are some editors (not necessarily Berean Hunter) who get very focused on policing the rules about conflict of interest and who overlook the importance of dealing with legitimate issues raised by people mentioned in articles. I think Berean Hunter was just trying to alert you to the fact you were entering controversial territory. Although it might not be complete consolation I ought to mention there are people in the Wikipedia community who are trying to improve the situation and make Wiki more responsive to genuine concerns about fairness to subjects.

I should make clear here that I have no official role in Wikipedia. I am just a person who has signed up for an account to let me edit articles of interest (which, in my case, include articles on magic and illusion). I will try to take a look at the articles you have attempted to edit and see if I can come up with wording that addresses the points you have tried to make while also satisfying those here who will pounce on any hint of percieved bias. If you have any specific concerns then leave me a message at my talk page.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page The Pendragons has been reverted. Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam 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. The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): rule: 'youtube\.com' (link(s): http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=OQs0lGZel34) . If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. an image or a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy and therefore probably should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, or similar site, then please check the information on the external site thorougly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creators copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).

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. 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!
