Even in the comment above, the system interprets arXiv: as a url protocol, which is wrong. It might have been whining about having a link with a url name which is different from the linked url. If these were actual urls this kind of deception shouldn't be allowed, but in this case the link name is not actually an url, it's an arXiv identifier.
