For When I Had The Chance, I would like this specific page to be unblocked for citation purposes, because it adds considerable background about the concept of the album that this song is a part of, and this content is not user created or invented, it is a interview with the musician which is the one who collaborates with the subject of the article, I've read why you don't normally allow examiner.com links, but like I said before, it is a interview with the own artist by a relevant interviewer - Samuel Archer. Please lemme know about this situation as soon as anyone can, because I'm making a major restructuring in this article, and this part of the interview is very relevant to the context of the section that I'm currently editing.

Wiki page for the game dominions 3. Old strategy wiki is outdated. And not currently being updated (I removed the link). But wikipedia still points to the incorrect page. The link is for use on the dominion 3 page. The game has a very high learning curve, and the strategy wiki wiki page gives incorrect information. Soyweiser ( talk) 19:02, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
This link contains an article by the academic Matthew Feldman about Lyndon LaRouche. It is an important source because it contains the notes from one of LaRouche's conferences, and also comments on LaRouche's public statements. It would be useful for the page Views of Lyndon LaRouche.
Matthew Feldman is a senior lecturer in 20th century history at the University of Northampton. [1] He's also co-editor of the academic journal Totalitarian Movements and Political Religions. I have no idea why the site was listed, but Feldman is clearly notable. BillMasen ( talk) 12:28, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
I would like to link this page www.view360.in/virtualtour/ooty/rosegarden as an external link to the article Government Rose Garden, Ooty. I find it would be very useful to readers as the page provides a full 360 degree panoramic view of the garden. The link also provides the 360 degree panoramic view from seven different locations within the garden. I feel it would be an ideal external link to the page.
Thanks

I would like to link to www.view360.in/virtualtour/thanjavur/ under section "External Links" to the article Brahadeeswarar temple. This does give a good perspective tour. I do run lots of script filters/blockers on my browser, so I do not know why this is blocked at present. The content is most relevant to the article on the UNESCO world heritage site.

Request for white-listing of URL examiner.com/youth-travel-in-national/youth-vote-overseas-interview-with-clair-whitmer-part-1 for use as a reference at Overseas Vote Foundation#Voter services and site usage.

Page is Taquan Air.
This webpage identifies that Senator Stevens (R, Alaska) was both a "decorated World War II pilot", and had more recently become "floatplane qualified". Taquan Air operates only floatplanes, and received awards twice from Stevens (see article).
A search for "Stapleton" shows no previous references for whitelisting, nor do I have other references to show that Stevens was floatplane qualified.
www.examiner.com/aviation-community-in-anchorage/rob-stapleton shows that Stapleton's status with examiner.com is established, and I have used the words "designated blogger" in the citation to clarify the relationship between the publisher and the author. What makes this article reliable is the author, Rob Stapleton--examiner.com need only reliably reproduce what Stapleton has written.
Stapleton has been writing on Alaska aviation for at least ten years, for example,
Here is the proposed cite for the entry:
http://www.examiner.com/aviation-community-in-anchorage/stevens-flight-an-irony-of-errors
Funny that somebody has just requested to whitelist another article from the very same author and website (see right above), and I'm glad to see that it has been approved.
The article in question, again by Rob Stapleton, would constitute a relevant source for 2010 Alaska C-17 crash and seems to me meaningful enough and decently written. In fact, his views are echoed by other aviation commentators, e.g. 1, 2. -- Giuliopp ( talk) 02:59, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
This Examiner.com article from 2009 features an in depth interview with editor-in-chief for Decibel magazine Albert Mudrian that would significantly benefit the articles Decibel (magazine) and Precious Metal (book). I cannot find any third-party articles that go into this much detail about these subjects, so there are no alternatives. Also, I have read MediaWiki talk:Spam-whitelist/Common requests and I can assure you I have no connection with Examiner or the author. I am not really sure how to demonstrate this though. Is it sufficient to say that I've been a Wikipedia editor for 3+ years and this is my first request to use this website? Fezmar9 ( talk) 22:57, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

I am requesting that eHow be whitelisted for when I tried to add a citation of this address on the Monterey Bay Aquarium article, I got the message that it was blocked. If eHow is whitelisted, then this will be a big help to my attempt to promote the aforementioned article to good article status, as it should meet criteria for references.

GoPetition is used by thousands of reputable organisations including many non-profits, that continually request we register our background information with Wikipedia. I support the fact Wikipedia prevents petition links, apart from one or two exceptions i don't believe they have a place in Wikipedia either. I also believe many petition/cause sites are very dodgy, but we are not and consequently i would like to write a Wikipedia article providing background information on our story as requested by our users (and already allowed for other major cause sites, even the dodgy ones who sell users information to political parties). The below links are for our home page, some information about our many documented successes and the about us page, which provides background on who we are and what we do. Specific links i'm requesting to be whitelisted as per above:
The award-winning Encyclopedia Mythica appears to be blacklisted. I would assume that someone abused links to the site, but am reasonably certain the site itself is not the problem. It is a highly useful resource for mythology research, and its prohibition is a detriment to Wikipedia. A great many mythology-related articles could use this site for reference. In my case, I've created the page for Cychreides, the mythical dragon of Salamis and Demeter, only to find that my best source is blacklisted. While the Mythica article is short, it even includes references to the original Greek sources, for example Bibliotheke: www.pantheon.org/articles/c/cychreides.html -- Kaz ( talk) 21:50, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

The article is the only third party news source confirming the existence of the 2011 Revolt Tour.
