Your edits to April 21

Dear 208.125.200.50,
Some of your edits on the page April 21 have been undone by PseudoBot, a robot built to keep the date pages tidy. The problems are:

No Wikipedia page has been linked to.

If a Wikipedia page for the person already exists, add a link to it (by putting it in doubled square brackets [[Like this]]) and try again. If it doesn't yet exist, read this page carefully before creating it. In particular, you shouldn't create a page about yourself or anyone you know personally. If this bot has got it wrong (as can unfortunately happen), please accept its author's apologies, and (if you would like) leave a message on this talk page with the details, so it can be improved. Please see this page for help. PseudoBot (talk) 14:05, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
