Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Ducks Deluxe has been reverted.
Your edit here to Ducks Deluxe 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/ducksdeluxe) 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. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 11:42, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

Hello - this is a human here

I'm sorry the first edit you made got reverted by an automatic Bot - they detect thousands of vandalism edits and spamming additions every day, and a few genuine edits get caught up in this. The Bot was unhappy with the Facebook addition as most links to Facebook are spam - and it is difficult for a Bot to ascertain which FB sites are "official" and which are just "Fancruft". Looking at the FB page you included, I assume it is actually run by, or on behalf of, the band? Provided the FB page is under the band's control, we can add it back. From your user-name, I assume you have something to do with the band? in which case, please read our policies on Conflict of Interest before making further additions.

Yes, I am a fan - having first seen the Ducks in 1973 and last at The Stables in July. I also started Sean Tyla's article here on Wikipedia - along with a few others such as Help Yourself, Dave Charles, Malcolm Morley and Deke Leonard - so, I'm to blame for most of the mistakes.
