The Spam-whitelist 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:
Important: You must provide a full link to the specific web page you want to be whitelisted (leave out the http://
from the front; otherwise you will not be able to save your edit to this page). Requests quoting only a domain (i.e. ending in .com
or similar with nothing after the /
character) are likely to be denied. If you wish to have a site fully unblocked please visit the relevant section of
MediaWiki talk:Spam-blacklist.
Note: Do not request links to be whitelisted where you can reasonably suspect that the material you want to link to is in violation of copyright (see WP:LINKVIO). Such requests will likely be summarily rejected.
There is no automated notification system in place for the results of requests, and you will not be notified when your request has a response. You should therefore add this page to your personal watch list, to your notifications through the subscribe feature, or 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 or expressed any concerns about the request, as failure to reply to these promptly will generally result in the request being denied.

Please note that this is my first request to whitelist a link. I am only requesting that this specific page, the best of monmouth, be whitelisted. During the course of creating a page yesterday, Wye Bridge Ward, I came across a short article, The Royal Oak, Monmouth, that seemed to be in danger of deletion. It only had one reference. I went ahead and added a reference and a small amount of text. I reconsidered though, and decided to copy edit the article, including adding sources for existing material. Concerned that it wouldn't be enough to save the article, I decided to do a full expansion. This particular page is the only one that I have found so far that specifically describes the Monmouth Rotary Club event at The Royal Oak. The Monmouth Rotary Club is a philanthropic organization, which I think is deserving of an article of its own. I was hoping to use this page for both the preexisting article The Royal Oak, Monmouth and a future article on the Monmouth Rotary Club. In addition, I have been able to verify the accuracy of the contents of the lecture given that evening by the guest speaker with a BBC source. Thank you. Anne ( talk) 13:53, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

http://www.examiner.com/classic-movie-in-new-york/nancy-s-story was written by Mel Neuhaus. I plan to use it for To Whom It May Concern: Ka Shen's Journey.
His [http://www.examiner.com/classic-movie-in-new-york/mel-neuhaus about page] WebCite states:
Mel Neuhaus has spent the past three decades writing almost exclusively about and for his lifelong passion: the movies. His articles/interviews/reviews have appeared worldwide in such renowned publications and on-line sites as Turner Classic Movies, Home Theater and Sound & Vision.
In other words, he has published or reviewed for Turner Classic Movies, Home Theater Network, and Sound & Vision. Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources#Self-published sources (online and paper) states,
Self-published material may be acceptable when produced by an established expert on the topic of the article whose work in the relevant field has previously been published by reliable third-party publications. Self-published sources should never be used as third-party sources about living persons, even if the author is a well-known professional researcher or writer; see WP:BLP#Reliable sources.
I believe that Neuhaus meets the criteria of being an "established expert" in the field of film. I will primarily use the information in the article, particularly the interview, with film director Brian Jamieson to extend the "background and production" section. I will use critical commentary from Neuhaus to expand the "Reception" section. Cunard ( talk) 06:41, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

I've read some of the background on Money Week blacklisting, it has reputable journalists, but the publishers didn't seem to want to follow the rules of Wikipedia back in 2009. I'm wanting to put in a reference to a potentially contentious comment on Sir Peter Bazalgette's article, who has just been appointed to a new government sponsored post in the UK.
Some people have joked that whilst his illustrious ancestor was responsible for helping London rid itself of so much foetid detritus; through his TV programmes, Sir Peter has merely channelled it all back again.
The way forward seems to be a whitelist for specific Money Week articles like this one. The link I'd like to use to substantiate this is www.moneyweek.com/news-and-charts/profile-peter-bazalgette Wikiwayman ( talk) 14:55, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

It is useful as a temporary or placeholder reference for UK single sales for which a more reliable link cannot be found:
The preceding sales data should be here in the original and official list that appears on MTV.co.uk. However, the sales listed in that link happen to be outdated, and the newer data can only be found at sites like the forum link above.

This is the symptoms page of the Empty Nose Syndrome Association, a nonprofit, public charity that tries to raise awareness about ENS. The link is needed in the article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empty_nose_syndrome, because the article doesn’t mention all symptoms. Also, the symptoms page has an audio of Dr. Kern’s presentation about ENS at a nose conference, which is very revealing. I have already requested the removal of the whole site from the blacklist, and I hope it will be granted as well. There it is explained why the site was blacklisted in the first place. Thanks.

I would like this particular URL to be unblocked so that I can cite it on the Poni Hoax page. This link contains 100% unique VIDEO interviews that cannot be found on any other website. (After 6 hours of research for an important project I should know...). The article on Poni Hoax is a stub, and I regularly contributed to the article (I made an account since, but my IP address is the newest one as of this post) because I know alot about the band, and it appears that no one else is willing to post any other information on them. These collections of interviews help improve the quality of an article on a band that's on Rock Band 3 (a very popular music game) and anyone who wishes to find out anything about them should be able to verify the sources I used in the article. If they can't, they could delete important, valid, unique information (especially that pertaining to their 3rd album still in the planning stages) that has the potential to be viewed by a great quantity of people.

Thanks for your patience. I see about 1 million links to non-suite101.com interviews with DJ Paul Rudd, so I am hesitant to whitelist a link to a site that is blacklisted globally (not just on en-Wikipedia) because of too much past abuse. [3] ~ Amatulić ( talk) 16:09, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
I would like Traditio site to be unblocked, due to the fact that its Russian site and had issues with Russian Wikipedia in the past, but not anymore. It have nothing against the English Wikipedia, or any other Wikipedias for that matter, except for maybe Russian, that as mentioned was in the past in 2007. Since that year, the site have improved, and in order for it to be even more improved Wikipedia and Traditio should work together, and all of the users there agreed with it. Not to mention, there are users that joined on both Russian and English Wikipedias and Traditio as well, and treat both sites with respect. Again, as said before, we need to work together, and by blocking a specific site we only create divisions between the Russian people. Traditio promises that they will not agitate against Wikipedia, and I seen all by myself that it have been minimized. So, I hope people will understand that blocking will result into more division of users, noty to mention, some people might even want to use this site for some projects. I for example, like both sites, and I know some users that migh agree with me here.

BTW: The policy of not allowing users to post these URLs seems insanely restrictive to me. Like, I'm still allowed to write an unsourced sentence that says whatever I want... but here I have a well-sourced article that I want to cite, and I just can't because it's automatically spam?

Yes, I know that Examiner.com is rarely ever whitelisted, and for good reasons. And I have read Common requests. I think there may still be grounds for whitelisting the relevant sub-page.
The present article on Kai Tak Airport asserts that the History Channel designated it the 6th most dangerous airport in the world in a DVD of the 10 most dangerous airports. I don't own the DVD, but a quick Google search certainly seems to confirm that. However, the various options for a link to substantiate the comment are: the History Channel page selling the DVD (violates the commerciality rule, and doesn't actually state the relvant info); various BitTorrent sites (can't imagine that is a good idea); various YouTube clips (not too sure about that either) or the Examiner article.
Accordingly, notwithstanding all the (justified) negative comment about the Enquirer, it seems to me to be a fairly harmless way to substantiate a point which adds a lot of punch to the relevant article, and to which there are not many ready alternatives.

The article is simply a re-post of the original story from Syberpunk.com which was cited extensively as having started the internet hype, however the freerepublic.com article has comments.

A request to add only this specific website to reference Taylor Swift article and pic in winning an award for her multiple charitable organizations. The news was also repeated elsewhere and televised, so it isn't an unverified item, and it is a good pic of her with Michelle Obama. I don't understand why this entertainment source is blacklisted entirely. According to its 'About' section, "...Today, JustJared.com and Just JaredJr.com receive over 14 million unique visitors a month. Just Jared was recently named to Yahoo’s prestigious Top 10 Bloggers Roll (alongside the Huffington Post & TMZ) and was previously highlighted by Vanity Fair & InStyle as one of the world’s leading Entertainment Sites."

First off, I would like to mention that this is my first time making such a request, so forgive me if the format isn't perfect...
1. I am not asking for examiner.com to be whitelisted in its entirety, but rather just a specific link to a specific article. I am currently editing an already existing Wikipedia page that would greatly benefit from the information that this page offers. I have looked for this same information on other articles on other sites, but have been unable to find it in its entirety as it is shown in this particular article. The information in this article is pertinent to the page I am editing.
2. The specific page that I have been referring to that would benefit from the whitelisting of this article is the iTunes Live from Capitol Studios page. However, it is also worth mentioning that this is part of a larger chronology of albums released by Paul McCartney and, in addition, this article also mentions specific information regarding a future DVD release that will company the page I am editing. Therefore, the page may be useful again in the future once the DVD (and the accompanying tv special) is released.
3. The link to the specific article in question is as follows: www.examiner.com/article/slideshow-first-look-at-photos-for-new-paul-mccartney-pbs-tv-special

Please note that this is my first request to whitelist a link. I am only requesting that this specific page, the best of monmouth, be whitelisted. During the course of creating a page yesterday, Wye Bridge Ward, I came across a short article, The Royal Oak, Monmouth, that seemed to be in danger of deletion. It only had one reference. I went ahead and added a reference and a small amount of text. I reconsidered though, and decided to copy edit the article, including adding sources for existing material. Concerned that it wouldn't be enough to save the article, I decided to do a full expansion. This particular page is the only one that I have found so far that specifically describes the Monmouth Rotary Club event at The Royal Oak. The Monmouth Rotary Club is a philanthropic organization, which I think is deserving of an article of its own. I was hoping to use this page for both the preexisting article The Royal Oak, Monmouth and a future article on the Monmouth Rotary Club. In addition, I have been able to verify the accuracy of the contents of the lecture given that evening by the guest speaker with a BBC source. Thank you. Anne ( talk) 13:53, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

http://www.examiner.com/classic-movie-in-new-york/nancy-s-story was written by Mel Neuhaus. I plan to use it for To Whom It May Concern: Ka Shen's Journey.
His [http://www.examiner.com/classic-movie-in-new-york/mel-neuhaus about page] WebCite states:
Mel Neuhaus has spent the past three decades writing almost exclusively about and for his lifelong passion: the movies. His articles/interviews/reviews have appeared worldwide in such renowned publications and on-line sites as Turner Classic Movies, Home Theater and Sound & Vision.
In other words, he has published or reviewed for Turner Classic Movies, Home Theater Network, and Sound & Vision. Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources#Self-published sources (online and paper) states,
Self-published material may be acceptable when produced by an established expert on the topic of the article whose work in the relevant field has previously been published by reliable third-party publications. Self-published sources should never be used as third-party sources about living persons, even if the author is a well-known professional researcher or writer; see WP:BLP#Reliable sources.
I believe that Neuhaus meets the criteria of being an "established expert" in the field of film. I will primarily use the information in the article, particularly the interview, with film director Brian Jamieson to extend the "background and production" section. I will use critical commentary from Neuhaus to expand the "Reception" section. Cunard ( talk) 06:41, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

I've read some of the background on Money Week blacklisting, it has reputable journalists, but the publishers didn't seem to want to follow the rules of Wikipedia back in 2009. I'm wanting to put in a reference to a potentially contentious comment on Sir Peter Bazalgette's article, who has just been appointed to a new government sponsored post in the UK.
Some people have joked that whilst his illustrious ancestor was responsible for helping London rid itself of so much foetid detritus; through his TV programmes, Sir Peter has merely channelled it all back again.
The way forward seems to be a whitelist for specific Money Week articles like this one. The link I'd like to use to substantiate this is www.moneyweek.com/news-and-charts/profile-peter-bazalgette Wikiwayman ( talk) 14:55, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

It is useful as a temporary or placeholder reference for UK single sales for which a more reliable link cannot be found:
The preceding sales data should be here in the original and official list that appears on MTV.co.uk. However, the sales listed in that link happen to be outdated, and the newer data can only be found at sites like the forum link above.

This is the symptoms page of the Empty Nose Syndrome Association, a nonprofit, public charity that tries to raise awareness about ENS. The link is needed in the article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empty_nose_syndrome, because the article doesn’t mention all symptoms. Also, the symptoms page has an audio of Dr. Kern’s presentation about ENS at a nose conference, which is very revealing. I have already requested the removal of the whole site from the blacklist, and I hope it will be granted as well. There it is explained why the site was blacklisted in the first place. Thanks.

I would like this particular URL to be unblocked so that I can cite it on the Poni Hoax page. This link contains 100% unique VIDEO interviews that cannot be found on any other website. (After 6 hours of research for an important project I should know...). The article on Poni Hoax is a stub, and I regularly contributed to the article (I made an account since, but my IP address is the newest one as of this post) because I know alot about the band, and it appears that no one else is willing to post any other information on them. These collections of interviews help improve the quality of an article on a band that's on Rock Band 3 (a very popular music game) and anyone who wishes to find out anything about them should be able to verify the sources I used in the article. If they can't, they could delete important, valid, unique information (especially that pertaining to their 3rd album still in the planning stages) that has the potential to be viewed by a great quantity of people.

I would like Traditio site to be unblocked, due to the fact that its Russian site and had issues with Russian Wikipedia in the past, but not anymore. It have nothing against the English Wikipedia, or any other Wikipedias for that matter, except for maybe Russian, that as mentioned was in the past in 2007. Since that year, the site have improved, and in order for it to be even more improved Wikipedia and Traditio should work together, and all of the users there agreed with it. Not to mention, there are users that joined on both Russian and English Wikipedias and Traditio as well, and treat both sites with respect. Again, as said before, we need to work together, and by blocking a specific site we only create divisions between the Russian people. Traditio promises that they will not agitate against Wikipedia, and I seen all by myself that it have been minimized. So, I hope people will understand that blocking will result into more division of users, noty to mention, some people might even want to use this site for some projects. I for example, like both sites, and I know some users that migh agree with me here.

BTW: The policy of not allowing users to post these URLs seems insanely restrictive to me. Like, I'm still allowed to write an unsourced sentence that says whatever I want... but here I have a well-sourced article that I want to cite, and I just can't because it's automatically spam?

Yes, I know that Examiner.com is rarely ever whitelisted, and for good reasons. And I have read Common requests. I think there may still be grounds for whitelisting the relevant sub-page.
The present article on Kai Tak Airport asserts that the History Channel designated it the 6th most dangerous airport in the world in a DVD of the 10 most dangerous airports. I don't own the DVD, but a quick Google search certainly seems to confirm that. However, the various options for a link to substantiate the comment are: the History Channel page selling the DVD (violates the commerciality rule, and doesn't actually state the relvant info); various BitTorrent sites (can't imagine that is a good idea); various YouTube clips (not too sure about that either) or the Examiner article.
Accordingly, notwithstanding all the (justified) negative comment about the Enquirer, it seems to me to be a fairly harmless way to substantiate a point which adds a lot of punch to the relevant article, and to which there are not many ready alternatives.

A request to add only this specific website to reference Taylor Swift article and pic in winning an award for her multiple charitable organizations. The news was also repeated elsewhere and televised, so it isn't an unverified item, and it is a good pic of her with Michelle Obama. I don't understand why this entertainment source is blacklisted entirely. According to its 'About' section, "...Today, JustJared.com and Just JaredJr.com receive over 14 million unique visitors a month. Just Jared was recently named to Yahoo’s prestigious Top 10 Bloggers Roll (alongside the Huffington Post & TMZ) and was previously highlighted by Vanity Fair & InStyle as one of the world’s leading Entertainment Sites." Can someone please explain the reason for blacklisting the entire site? I presume JustJared.com is also blacklisted.

First off, I would like to mention that this is my first time making such a request, so forgive me if the format isn't perfect...
1. I am not asking for examiner.com to be whitelisted in its entirety, but rather just a specific link to a specific article. I am currently editing an already existing Wikipedia page that would greatly benefit from the information that this page offers. I have looked for this same information on other articles on other sites, but have been unable to find it in its entirety as it is shown in this particular article. The information in this article is pertinent to the page I am editing.
2. The specific page that I have been referring to that would benefit from the whitelisting of this article is the iTunes Live from Capitol Studios page. However, it is also worth mentioning that this is part of a larger chronology of albums released by Paul McCartney and, in addition, this article also mentions specific information regarding a future DVD release that will company the page I am editing. Therefore, the page may be useful again in the future once the DVD (and the accompanying tv special) is released.
3. The link to the specific article in question is as follows: www.examiner.com/article/slideshow-first-look-at-photos-for-new-paul-mccartney-pbs-tv-special
