[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 The Orchestra has been reverted.
Your edit here to The Orchestra 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 (http://www.facebook.com/SayaRules#!/pages/The-Orchestra/201124346571902) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia.
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.

[edit]


to add a reference to an article try this:

Type your sentence here <ref>then type your reference </ref>

then, at the bottom of the article add, or make sure there is ==References== {{reflist}}

if you have any more questions about references (they can be confusing) you can let me know on my talk page (the blue, 'talk' link after my name)

Thanks for getting back to me Ryan, I'm completely overwhelmed by the complexity of this editing, it wasn't at all what I was expecting. I'm not even sure whether you'll get this reply (as it's written on my talk page). I don't know why my link was deleted as a Facebook link because that link was already there on the page I believe (and still is). I in fact typed in this link from The Orchestra official website [1] and explained in the edit summary that I was actually present to witness the event. Under these circumstances I find it odd that the amendment has been removed.
I'll try again to add my edit using your advice. I'm assuming that when you say type that set of (References, reflist and nowiki) at the bottom of the article you're referring to the very bottom of the page? I hope you'll bear with me on this because at the moment, this is all seeming rather a lot of effort for such a small amendment (am I assuming correctly that this is a 'minor edit', considering it's an omission of facts?)Slipdisk (talk) 21:55, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I tried to amend the article Ryan and thought I followed your instructions but however much jiggling around I did to make the thing work, I seem to have failed miserably. Maybe when you get a moment you could point me in the right direction. I have to say that this is very frustrating. Thanks anyway.Slipdisk (talk) 22:50, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
