Reason? 

Was there any reason that you removed several links to album reviews?

I thoroughly read your "ON EXTERNAL LINK REMOVAL" and what I don't get is why then have you not removed every link to every review on all of Wikipedia? They are all external links. They all "tunnel people away from the wikipedia." So why then are you singling out a single website and removing all of the links to their reviews?  If you would have actually bothered to visit all the links (which I somehow doubt, as all your reverts were popups-assisted.. whatever that means) you would find actual album reviews that IMO are much better than some of the crap that Pitchfork spits out. 

I'd also like to add that it is people like you who make me not want to contribute to Wikipedia, and the reason I've never joined. Instead of editing pages for the sake of contributing, you've designated yourself as the be-all end-all "link remover"  where "link remover" means "person who removes others' valid contributions to bolster his own self-importance."

And if you even bother using "promotion" as a reason that VacantLips' contributions to the reviews lists were "spam," then I'll have to ask you to remove all of the external links from the "Reviews" sections on all album pages... Unless you have detailed accounts proving that the users who posted the external links weren't simply promoting their own websites. 

I'll expect that you revert your changes, once you realize you had no basis for removing the links in the first place.
