Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Moroccan Jews 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/darkeabotenou,. 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) 19:52, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Moroccan Jews 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. Thank you. Sophus Bie ^(talk) 04:59, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Your edits to Moroccan Jews

If you'd like to discuss, I would be happy to do so at Talk:Moroccan Jews‎. Sophus Bie ^(talk) 05:17, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

When I wrote "promotional material" I meant the descriptors such as "ever so popular", for example. I note that your newer edit has left most of those bits out, which I'm much more okay with.

However, while the website seems like a useful archive, I'm a bit dubious that it really needs an entire paragraph in the article itself to describe it. Knowing that it has 4,500 subscribers, for example, doesn’t seem that relevant to the Moroccan Jews article. It's the sort of thing that would be more properly placed in an article about the website itself. Sophus Bie ^(talk) 00:14, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Go ahead and merge for me

I hereby greenlight you to merge History of Moroccan Jews with Moroccan Jewry. My time is limited and I am plotting new sources for History of the Ming Dynasty. Be bold, go ahead... --NickDupree (talk) 03:25, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
