September 2014

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Robert J. Healey has been reverted.
Your edit here to Robert J. Healey 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://twitter.com/roberthealey/) 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 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) 22:18, 14 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your request at Files for upload

Hello, and thank you for your request at Files for upload! Unfortunately, your request has been declined. The reason is shown on the main FFU page. The request will be archived shortly; if you cannot find it on that page, it will probably be at this month's archive. Regards, TLSuda (talk) 14:03, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm XLinkBot. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to the page Rhode Island gubernatorial election, 2014, because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links.

Bob Healey for DYK?

Hello. You might want to consider nominating Bob Healey at WP:DYK. If you can find a public domain photo of Healey it can also be included in a DYK "hook". I tend to notice DYK articles get a lot more page views when they have images. 72.74.209.210 (talk) 23:10, 21 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I created a DYK nomination page here since the 7-day limit for new articles expires today. They aren't very good but I added some reliable sources to support the hooks. Please feel free to rewrite them or suggest your own. I also asked for an extension so hopefully a photo can be found for the DYK hook as well. 72.74.209.210 (talk) 00:07, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Robert J. Healey

On 6 November 2014, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Robert J. Healey, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Bob Healey (pictured), founder of the Cool Moose Party, ran for Lieutenant Governor of Rhode Island in 2010 in order to abolish the office? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Robert J. Healey. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
