This url is a official url for Indian Census 2011 data. While adding Population tab reference in Article Chiralla it is showing Your edit was not saved because it contains a new external link to a site registered on Wikipedia's blacklist. and more. I have changed it from census2011. co. in to census2011. com which is not a valid url now.

Added to the External Links section on a few pages where it was completely irrelevant, each account stopped adding the link as soon as it tripped the linkspam filter. Looks like a clumsy attempt at SEO. creffett ( talk) 02:18, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

It is a website of a registered Plastic Surgery Clinic in UAE. Some anonymous users have added these links without our consent. Each account stopped adding the link as soon as it tripped the linkspam filter. It looks like a clumsy attempt at SEO as these usernames are random and just trying to harm our reputation. All accounts are removed and none of our link is now being added. Muddassarshah — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dubaicosmeticsurgery1 ( talk • contribs)
@ Guy: yeah I do understand but there is no point to add my domian in blacklist. if the links were removed and the profiles were deleted.

Also, considering their repetitive behaviour and past precedent on them doing this on ongoing/recent elections, their newest videos on the ongoing New Hampshire primaries should be blacklisted as well to prevent them from another spamming effort at 2020 New Hampshire Democratic primary and 2020 New Hampshire Republican primary:

Per RSN, requesting blacklisting of a frequently abused blog to prevent further additions. Wikipedia appears to be the victim of effectively resume padding by this site, and it would seem that we should stop it. Guy ( help!) 20:12, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
Batman Arena is the article I found this in. It open under a tab, you have to enter the address in a clean window. Messed up stuff. They force you to go to Google Play and install an app, or to change your search engine. This is a dangerous way to do business and has no place as a "reliable source", or any place in the encyclopedia. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 20:46, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
