[edit]

I understand about the URLS that I placed there from Youtube. Will re-post in the correct/acceptable format.

Now, Sir Cuthbert was born in Basseterre, St Kitts NOT Miami, Florida. Please accept that correction. In addition, he attended Dundee in Scotland, so it too is his alma mater - so please allow that addition. My uncle passed away peacefully at his home, and I would like that addition to remain also. In addition, I added his mother to the parents' category please allow that to remain also. Since his passing, I am trying to update this page as a tribute to him. Thanks.

Hi SuchieM, sorry for your loss. Some of these changes have already been made (such as the place of birth), but please be aware that on Wikipedia, all information needs references to make sure it is verifiable. If you could provide some references for this, it would make changing this much easier. Also, as you say you are related to the subject of the article, please do be aware of Wikipedia's guidelines on conflicts of interest (COIs). Hopefully this helped, but if it didn't, just click here to ask another question, or just leave a message on my talk page. Thanks.  Seagull123  Φ  19:04, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]


Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Cuthbert Sebastian has been reverted.
Your edit here to Cuthbert Sebastian 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=WxnPWDXfCKQ) 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. a sound or video file) 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 for your condolences. Much appreciated.

Thanks for correcting Sir Cuthbert Sebastian's place of birth. The URLs that I added: I will find your guidelines and post them appropriately. Although I am a relative, I wanted these two video - which were not made by me - to be a part of the wikipedia record on him, since he has passed away.

I'm sorry, but I rather doubt the throne speech video would be useful for Wikipedia's purposes. If I understand St Kitts and Nevis' political system correctly, the throne speech does not represent the Governor General's own political views but those of the elected government; the video thus provides no information on Sebastian himself. The other is better in that it's him chroicling his life, but Wikipedia content should be based on secondary sources, not on what the subject of the article had to say about himself.
