MediaWiki talk:Spam-whitelist

Spam whitelist Archives (current)→ The associated page is used in conjunction with the Mediawiki SpamBlacklist extension, and lists strings of text that override Meta's blacklist and the local spam-blacklist. Any administrator can edit the spam whitelist. Please post comments to the appropriate section below: Proposed additions (web pages to unblock), Proposed removals (sites to reblock), or Troubleshooting and problems; read the messageboxes at the top of each section for an explanation. See also MediaWiki talk:Spam-blacklist. Please enter your requests at the bottom of the Proposed additions to Whitelist section and not at the very bottom of the page. Sign your requests with four tildes: ~~~~ Also in your request, please include the following The link that you want whitelisted in section title, like === example.com/help/index.php === The Wikipedia page that you want to use the link on. An explanation why it would be useful to the encyclopedia article proper. If the site you're requesting is listed at /Common requests, confirmation that you have read the reason why requests regarding the site are commonly denied and that you are happy to proceed. Important: You must provide a full link to the specific web page you want to be whitelisted. Requests quoting only a domain (i.e. ending in .com or similar without anything after the / character) will be denied. If you wish to have a site fully unblocked it would need to be listed in the relevant section of MediaWiki talk:Spam-blacklist. You will not be notified when your request has been responded to, even if you ask. You should check back here every few days to see if there is any progress on it; in particular, you should check whether administrators have raised any additional queries about the request, as failure to reply to these promptly will generally result in your request being summarily denied. Completed requests are archived, additions and removal are logged. →snippet for logging: {{/request|754856272#section_name}} Note that requests from new and unregistered users are not usually considered. Admins: use seth's tool to search the spamlists.

Notice to everyone about our Reliable sources and External links noticeboards

If you have a source that you would like to add to the spam-whitelist, but you are uncertain that it meets Wikipedia's guideline on reliability, please ask for opinions on the Reliable sources noticeboard, to confirm that it does meet that guideline, before submitting your whitelisting request here. In your request, link to the confirming discussion on that noticeboard.

Likewise, if you have an external link that you are uncertain meets Wikipedia's guideline on external links, please get confirmation on the External links noticeboard before submitting your whitelisting request here.

If your whitelist request falls under one of these two categories, the admins will be more willing to have the source whitelisted if you can achieve consensus at one of the above noticeboards.

Proposed additions to Whitelist (web pages to unblock)

whatbird.com

I need to use a page in this site for the article Northern rough-winged swallow. It will be a valuable source and will help me add information about how this bird flies and how it drinks.

@RileyBugz: Despite that this is not generally a reliable source (rather a personal page), and that I think that much of the information will be available elsewhere - Added to MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist. --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 07:23, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

I would like this link to be whitelisted to help improve Architects (song). This interview with the lead singer gives background on the song. Thanks! --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 05:35, 2 December 2016 (UTC)

I would like to use this page as a source for Great Leap Brewing since it is a podcast interview with the founder that has the potential to add a lot of new information to the article. Daniel Case (talk) 20:59, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

@Daniel Case: Added to MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist. --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 03:12, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

I feel that this is a great visualization tool for miller indices. The only other online visualizer for miller indices is http://www.doitpoms.ac.uk/tlplib/miller_indices/printall.php by the University of Cambridge, which is, to my opinion is a bit too old and static. I guess this will be of help to undergrads.

The interview located at would be a useful citation for Blood_Meridian#Literary_significance_and_reception. It is the source of a quote from Aleksandar Hemon. I did not add the quote to the article but noticed it was uncited and found this article as its source.Henry chianski (talk) 21:37, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
