Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Rottnest Island 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://www.wadjemup.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) 07:02, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. One or more of the external links you added in this edit to the page Rottnest Island do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. You may wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you. — Jeff G. ツ 07:24, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did with this edit to Rottnest Island. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. — Jeff G. ツ 07:51, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add inappropriate external links, as you did with this edit to Rottnest Island. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing. — Jeff G. ツ 08:08, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is your final warning. You will be blocked from editing the next time you add inappropriate external links, as you did with this edit to Rottnest Island. — Jeff G. ツ 08:11, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

New material added to RI

Michael, online, self-published material (in blogspace) is not considered a reliable source by Wikipedia standards. Further, the tone of your edits does not a give a neutral point of view. These are 2 of our fundamental editing policies. Claims like "Hundreds of Aboriginal prisoners died of introduced diseases such as influenza and measles that decimated the undernourished jail population huddled in cold, damp stone cells during winter. Others were bashed to death by guards while forced to work as salt mine labourers. Many Aboriginal prisoners were tribal leaders jailed for "payback" killings and stock theft as expanding colonial settlement seized their traditional hunting grounds, often by force." need specific and quality secondary sources. Citing yourself doesn't cut it. –Moondyne 10:41, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
