Greetings and welcome to wikipedia! As you are a relatively new member of the wikipedia community, I would like to help you understand some of our guidelines and official rules on linking to external sources and sites.
In regards to recent disputed links to your web site [1], on 1-54-24's talk page, you wrote:
The wikipedia guideline for external links states that links normally to be avoided include the following:
Additionally, wikipedia's official copyright policy states that links should not be made to web sites that violate others' copyrights. In this case, while your site lists "Robotech RPG" and "Palladium Books" as sources for some of the material in question, your web site does not appear to be following the strictures set out in Palladium Books' official internet policy.
You also wrote:
This could be problematic in several different ways. The official wikipedia policy on verifiability indicates that only verifiable facts should be included in articles. For the various Robotech and Macross articles, that could include information presented in print (comics, novelizations, etc.) or on screen (the actual movies, the television series themselves, etc.). As such, because the facts are made up of publically held information, their very nature would preclude your claim that they are derived from "my source material." However if the articles in question contain facts that were not taken from the original sources (the books, comics, movies, television series, etc.) but are instead your own hypothesises or suppositions, then that information should be immediately removed from wikipedia because fanwank violates the guideline for reliable sources, and regardless, official wikipedia policy strictly prohibits the inclusion of original research in any article.
Hopefully this aids your understanding of the reasoning behind other editors' article reverts. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Again, welcome to wikipedia, and happy editing! --Kralizec! (talk) 02:51, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
