[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Shinobazu Pond 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://ueno-wayne.blogspot.com/. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, fansite, or similar site (see 'Links to avoid', #11), then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's 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. 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) 06:58, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Response to your question on the New Contributors' Help Page

[edit]
(Also replied here where the question was first posted.)
Hi Wapo46 - welcome to Wikipedia.
The response you got was from an article reviewer, Bobby122. In Wikipedia parlance, "inline references" are references to the source material you used to write your article, documented either in parentheses or using footnotes referenced at the end of each sentence. You can find a guide to adding these here. I see you found Bobby122's talkpage in the end - only extra tip there is that, when you add a new comment to a talk page you are effectively creating a new section of that talk page, so it's a good idea to add a section heading to help other users navigate the page. (You did that successfully on this board, so I think you are getting the idea.)
The notice about signing articles using tildes came from a bot, not from the person who reviewed your article. As you've possibly figured out now, you can communicate on user talk pages by clicking the "edit" tab right at the very top of the page, then typing into the field that appears. The tab labelled "+" to the immediate right of "edit" allows you to create a new section and supplies a separate field for entering the section heading. Here on Wikipedia, we communicate by editing pages rather than sending messages, hence the terminology "save" rather than "send".
Does this make things clearer? Let me know if you have any more questions. Gonzonoir (talk) 10:06, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry

Sorry that I did not get to answer your question, but the post above is an excellent explanation. Regards, Bobby122 Contact Me (C) 00:59, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Talkback

[edit]
Hello, Wapo46. You have new messages at Bobby122's talk page.
Message added 01:43, 22 October 2010 (UTC). You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.[reply]

Yes "the above" was a good response to an earlier question back in mid-Sept. I understand this: you want more documentation. My present problem is that I'm stymied for lack of cooperation from the people at the Renaissance Institute, so I'm going to have to wait a while.

Therefore my present question is this: can I make the work I've done into a stub, in order to preserve it. If so, where do I learn how to do this? Thanks.

Hello Wapo46. It has been over six months since you last edited your article submission, entitled The Renaissance Institute.
