[edit] Liesel Matthews

WP:EL requires that external links provide "a unique resource beyond what the article would contain if it became a Featured article". Please tell me what is included in the website that fulfills that criterion, and I'll leave the link. Otherwise it needs to stay out of the article. Thank you.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to Liesel Matthews. Your edits appeared to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Ward3001 (talk) 17:25, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

"Excuse me, but how is THAT vandalism?": Because it violates WP:EL, which has already been explained to you three times, once above and twice in edit summaries. You continued to revert after a policy violation was pointed out to you. Please read WP:EL and WP:EW.

"There are plenty of other pages that have interviews linked": The ones that are legitmate provide "a unique resource beyond what the article would contain if it became a Featured article". The others are not legitimate and just haven't been reverted yet.

"I find it strange that you seem to be the only one that keeps editing out what I put on Liesel's Wikipedia page": Nothing at all strange about that. She is not a major celebrity any more, and likely very few people watch her page. The fact that I am the one who reverts the vandalism doesn't make it strange.

"I also see that you have claimed vandalism on some other people on your discussion page": And your point is??? I revert vandalism. Some editors, like you, don't understand or don't care that it is vandalism and leave notes on my talk page. Take a look at the talk page of Jimbo Wales, founder of Wikipedia, including the archives. You'll see lots of complaints. Complaints on a talk page do not necessarily reflect anything about the editor.
