@GregRundlett: actually the filter had worked as expected: it blocks the new users who post their URLs. 99% of the time they are just spammers (eg: 43 just for yesterday). So I just invite you to post you content without the external URL protocol (http), and then to add it in a second time. JackPotte (discuss • contribs) 22:51, 7 April 2017 (UTC)

Description
I tried to add the link to Canadian citizenship official goverment page (containing full information as a good reference to pull information later), also copied the structure done for the only page in the book, USA immigration & citizenship summary. It is possible I did smth. wrong b/c I am a total novice, nothing malicious from my side. It is not easy to understand instructions, English is not my mother tongue. I get overwhelmed. I learn by trial and error, pls. forgive. I though it is smart to add a link to the one site that is totally about the topic, includes everything current, for free, and safe website to go and check, and could be used to learn and create an abstract on the topic here. Thx.

  • This page does not exist, and there is no delete log. Did you try adding the link when you created the page, or did you add the link to the page after it was created?

  • I think there is a filter that does not allow new users to add links to outside sources. Please do a few more helpful edits elsewhere in Wikibooks and try again.

Okay -- reading other entries on this page, I'm getting the impression that the problem is "You're a new user -- new users can't add links. Wait until you're not-so-new" If so, it's too bad the error message didn't make that clear, ideally before asking me to do a captcha that was pointless in my case.

Well, it's 5 minutes later, and I forgot my plan to not try again right away. I tried again, and this time it allowed me to add the link. Huh.
