External Link
[edit]Hi, I just removed your external link to Android, but thought I'd explain why here. Wikipedia has an external link policy Wikipedia:External links which goes through what should or should not be included. A youtube userpage breaches this for a number of reasons (even though the videos on it may be relevant). First (for this one) is the sources cant easily be verified - anyone can set up a youtube page, and its difficult to know if what's on it is legit. Second is that if pages are allowed that can boost someones website (ie direct traffic to your own page), then wikipedia would be full of people doing this. Third is with youtube, copyrights are not always clear - so its better to link to original sources than to pages where anyone can upload.
So the removal of your link says nothing about the quality of the videos, its more just the policy of allowing links to private collections. Cheers Clovis Sangrail (talk) 03:22, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
