Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Microgrid 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://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrDz8Kpov_I. 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 and therefore probably should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file.
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) 21:02, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Microgrid 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 as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because 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.

Inappropriate links to the LBNL microgrid program

I appreciate your work on the Microgrid article but wish to raise some issues related to the many links to the Microgrid website at LBNL you have been adding to various articles on Wikipedia.

It is inappropriate to use Wikipedia to promote a program or product. The number of links to the microgrids project at LBNL that you have recently added appears to be a campaign to promote the program and (along with your work on the Microgrids article) suggests you may have a personal stake in it. Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines would apply in this case. It is my impression that a number of these links have only a tangential bearing on the articles they have been added to. Such links amount to "link spamming", not constructive editing and illustrate the reason for avoiding interest conflicts.

You have received warnings in the past concerning inappropriate links and so may have familiarity with policy regarding external links. I strongly suggest you stop adding external links to the LBNL microgrid program and limit references to it to those particular articles where the connection is immediate and a citation directly supports assertions in the article.
