SYDENHAM ON WIKIPEDIA

[leenewham]

Does anyone locally edit this?

If so, I've been trying for ages to get the blogs for Home Park, Mayor Park and Sydenham Library added to them. whenever I put them on there, some bugger removes them.

Other areas have friends of groups's blogs added as external links.

Does anyone have any tips? I noticed see3 Town centre website and the Sydenham Society appear on there so it must be edited locally.

Also, I tried to edit the bit about Home Park so it mentions the Outdoor classroom, gym and community garden, but again it gets edited out! It's very frustrating!

Your latest effort was reverted by XLinkBot, which does not like links to blogging sites. No idea why it may work for some people; perhaps their sites are not on the bot's blacklist.

Thanks Chris, I wasn't sure how it worked!

the vast majority of Wikipedia edits are checked by 'bots' to see if they're within certain criteria - if they're not they get nixed.

You probably should contact an actual person/moderator to either get yourself super user status, or get the links added by hand.

That's a pain! You could instead link to those pages on the sydenhamtowncentre.com site?

[leenewham]

Yes Pen, please by all means please link them to the http://www.sydenhamtownentre.com site.

http://www.homepark.wordpress.com
http://www.sydenhamlibrary.wordpress.com

And of course if you want to add http://www.whatifsydenham.wordpress.com please do.

I'd guess it's because you're using WordPress.com. SydSoc and SEE3 are also WordPress, but on their own paid for server space. Pm me - I could help
