I checked the "sahafat.xyz" links, they are image repository of the archive of sahafat.in, website of a print newspaper. The links in this case don't look like to be spam. Also, it is an official repository. The link to .xyz flows from main website, it is like, http://www.sahafat.in/index.html has a menu link to http://www.sahafat.in/archive_index.html, where, on selection of a date, archived newspaper is loaded in image format, the location of this image is at www.sahafat.xyz; so it seems to be legit. Also, there is no alternate of this archive available, if anyone has to quote articles from older version, then they need to add this link but that doesn't works and we are missing references. example links,
Currently, it is regarding Syed Jawad Naqvi, but as it is one of the leading Urdu dailies of India, it definitely has implication on other articles.

In an interview with pornography reporter Luke Ford she said, "I think I'm the only one [from Bangladesh in porn]."
In the same interview Jazmin spoke of her entry into porn, "I've always wanted to be famous for something. I tried to sing but I suck at it. I tried to dance. I was kinda good. I did belly dancing professionally. I wanted to do something more. I was very shy and not thinking good about myself. One of my friends said I would be good at porn if I tried. I was freaked out the first time. Then I thought why not. I want to go with the flow. I just did my thing. I started doing nude modeling with High Society magazine. Then I started dancing for a couple of months. I got bored with it. I heard about Mark Spiegler from one of my friends. That he was an agent. I called him. The next thing I knew I was in porn."
She also said, "Porn taught me to do anal. That's why I am so amazed by it. It just looked so hard before, but when I got into the porn industry, it looked so easy", and "I don't like the way people degrade porn girls."
This happens to be the only extensive interview of Jazmin available through a Google search. It would be great to be able to use the link. Pornstars generally don't have much acceptable sources. Aditya( talk • contribs) 15:18, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

So, why is the deletion still not done? Beetstra edits MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist often. - A876 ( talk) 07:18, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
The site's homepage used to be petitions.whitehouse.gov/homepage. Now that URL is a 404, so its whitelist entry serves no function, and should be removed (restating the above).
The site's homepage is now https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/ (the site's root URL, where, as most webmasters have learned, every homepage should reside from the get-go). It follows that a whitelist entry (for this one page) should be added, to replace the one that is to be removed. -

PS: The site's new homepage (https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/) probably should not be added, because it contains multiple open petitions. (I belatedly noticed this.) I should not have asked for its addition (strike-out, above); I withdraw that request. - A876 ( talk) 07:18, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
\bpetitions\.whitehouse\.gov\/index\.php\b
Recently the site's new homepage was added to the whitelist using a synonym of its root url, petitions.whitehouse.gov/index.php. I think it should be taken back out (removed from the whitelist). (I don't understand the need for a synonym. This URL is no more or less dangerous than the root URL. Someone seems to think that adding the root page of a domain (calling it "top domain", whatever that means) adds the entire domain. They are not the same thing.)
(Also, how about sorting the whitelist page next edit?) - A876 ( talk) 07:18, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
I think we would have understood each other better if content here were clearer and terms were chosen more carefully. "Top domain" has no clear meaning to me – it sounds like " top-level domain", something which will "never" turn up in this whitelist. (The blacklist holds mostly second-level domains, so this whitelist could hold some third-level domains. A bad-enough top-level domain could be added to the blacklist, in which case the whitelist might begin to add some second-level domains.) "Root domain" also has no clear meaning to me – it sounds like either the DNS root zone (the parent of every top-level domain) -or- the root of a top-level domain, which can serve a website. (Though very few do, e.g. the redirectors http://org./ http://tv./ http://at./ http://ai./ etc. They use that obscure syntax because the "more-obvious" http://org looks for a computer on your LAN named "org", and http://.org must have seemed inelegant.) You seem to be using "top domain" and "root domain" to mean the top of a domain or the root of a domain. But I can't sustain that reading; the word "domain" keeps hitting me and it doesn't fit the context. The root folder and "everything in the root folder" are not the same thing (though they might seem that way if you are working with an inadequate processor that can't distinguish them). I think it is better to never use the phrases "top domain" and "root domain" again.
A domain or website has a tree structure, similar to a file system (and it usually maps to a folder in a file system). A website has a root folder. Every folder can contain files and/or [sub-]folders. A URL can specify a folder name or a filename. A server can handle a request for a folder name in various ways. The most obvious default action is to return a listing of the files and folders in that folder (though some sites disallow that and show an error page instead). The next obvious approach is for the server to first check for an HTML document (which typically describes the contents or actions relevant to that branch of the website), that folder's " webserver directory index". The obvious place to store that HTML document is in the folder itself, with a generic name such as "index.[s]htm[l]". The server usually scans a prioritized search-list of names, such as "index.php; index.htm; index.html". But there is no standard name; many names are common; files of every name can exist concurrently; and the addition of a higher-priority name does not delete any lower-priority name. If one finds that the server returns the same content for http://example.com/index.foo as for http://example.com/, that is not proof that http://example.com/ actually returns http://example.com/index.foo; it might only be a coincidence; only the webmaster could find out for sure. I think a webserver that (for example) answers requests for http://example.com/ by serving http://example.com/index.foo should answer any request for http://example.com/index.foo itself by serving a 404 page, simply to disallow the use of unnecessary synonyms. Lacking that mechanism, a webmaster could achieve the same effect through obscurity, by configuring http://example.com/ to serve http://example.com/unguessable.filename (or maybe even serve a file that resides outside the website's folder tree, if possible, but that is awkward). The "moral" here is: Linking http://example.com/index.foo is not good practice; such links go bad and don't always show it. If the site's homepage links and Google results show http://example.com/, it is truly shameful to go and "sniff out" the existence http://example.com/index.foo and link that instead of the root URL. It seems generally wiser to link http://example.com/, even if the linked site rewrites or redirects that to http://example.com/wafflepack///-/~/%1234/monkeybar.cs?one=banana&2=hammer&sessid=2193829381f23267&fbclick=ilnuminatti665.9#aplic_woo.
If the whitelisting processor cannot distinguish between the root folder and "everything in the root folder", it is sadly flawed, and probably needs a new syntax. (Btw, that \b \. stuff is ugly anyway.) There should be no difficulty listing the single "page" http://example.com/ without implicitly listing http://example.com/* (everything in the folder, recursive (or not)). Just as there should be no difficulty listing the single "page" http://example.com/foo/ without implicitly listing http://example.com/foo/* (recursive).
Webservers differ, and that could add difficulty. But I think it is possible to interpret whitelist entries without having to know which webserver software each site is currently running. http://example.com/foo/ "should" be a folder. http://example.com/foo "should" be a file. I'm sure many webservers interpret .../foo as .../foo/ when there is a folder but no file. Maybe some webservers interpret .../foo/ as .../foo when there is a file but no folder. Some rewrite the URL in the browser; maybe some don't. (It doesn't bother the webserver. Is it a problem for us?) It could complicate if the server allows a file .../foo and a folder .../foo/ to coexist (in the same folder). It could complicate if the webmaster replaces the file .../foo with the folder .../foo/ (or vice-versa). Some servers could be case-insensitive (foo=Foo=fOo); some could be case-sensitive (foo, Foo, and fOo can co-exist); handling this could be as simple as making the blacklist case-insensitive and the whitelist case-sensitive. Is http://example.com/ interchangeable with http://example.com? Is https://example.com/ interchangeable with https://example.com? (I think so.) If the website is on https: should it be possible to add a link to http:? (Probably not; the user will never pick up http: from a browser view, they could only copy it from a link address on a page or a text. Or maybe; the site could "downgrade".) If the website is on https: should it be possible to add a link to http:? (Probably; sites "upgrade" all the time.) What if a site serves differnt content on http: and https:?? - A876 ( talk) 07:00, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

I checked the "sahafat.xyz" links, they are image repository of the archive of sahafat.in, website of a print newspaper. The links in this case don't look like to be spam. Also, it is an official repository. The link to .xyz flows from main website, it is like, http://www.sahafat.in/index.html has a menu link to http://www.sahafat.in/archive_index.html, where, on selection of a date, archived newspaper is loaded in image format, the location of this image is at www.sahafat.xyz; so it seems to be legit. Also, there is no alternate of this archive available, if anyone has to quote articles from older version, then they need to add this link but that doesn't works and we are missing references. example links,
Currently, it is regarding Syed Jawad Naqvi, but as it is one of the leading Urdu dailies of India, it definitely has implication on other articles.

This is a European academic/industry conference about the STAMP (System-Theoretic Accident Modelling Process) accident analysis methodology developed by Prof. Nancy Leveson. There is also a US workshop http://psas.scripts.mit.edu/home/stamp-workshops/ . I want to link the European workshop in the Nancy Leveson biography ( Nancy Leveson#STAMP), or maybe in an eventual separate article about the STAMP metholodogy, or possibly in accident-related articles where STAMP was used to study the accident. I'd say whitelist the entire domain: it is a perfectly good site, blacklisted because of a Scunthorpe problem where anything with "shop.eu" in it is blocked. This is not a request for exceptional dispensation of a link that otherwise deserves to be blacklisted, but to undo that a legitimate site is blacklisted by accident.

In an interview with pornography reporter Luke Ford she said, "I think I'm the only one [from Bangladesh in porn]."
In the same interview Jazmin spoke of her entry into porn, "I've always wanted to be famous for something. I tried to sing but I suck at it. I tried to dance. I was kinda good. I did belly dancing professionally. I wanted to do something more. I was very shy and not thinking good about myself. One of my friends said I would be good at porn if I tried. I was freaked out the first time. Then I thought why not. I want to go with the flow. I just did my thing. I started doing nude modeling with High Society magazine. Then I started dancing for a couple of months. I got bored with it. I heard about Mark Spiegler from one of my friends. That he was an agent. I called him. The next thing I knew I was in porn."
She also said, "Porn taught me to do anal. That's why I am so amazed by it. It just looked so hard before, but when I got into the porn industry, it looked so easy", and "I don't like the way people degrade porn girls."
This happens to be the only extensive interview of Jazmin available through a Google search. It would be great to be able to use the link. Pornstars generally don't have much acceptable sources. Aditya( talk • contribs) 15:18, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

So, why is the deletion still not done? Beetstra edits MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist often. - A876 ( talk) 07:18, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
The site's homepage used to be petitions.whitehouse.gov/homepage. Now that URL is a 404, so its whitelist entry serves no function, and should be removed (restating the above).
The site's homepage is now https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/ (the site's root URL, where, as most webmasters have learned, every homepage should reside from the get-go). It follows that a whitelist entry (for this one page) should be added, to replace the one that is to be removed. -

PS: The site's new homepage (https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/) probably should not be added, because it contains multiple open petitions. (I belatedly noticed this.) I should not have asked for its addition (strike-out, above); I withdraw that request. - A876 ( talk) 07:18, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
\bpetitions\.whitehouse\.gov\/index\.php\b
Recently the site's new homepage was added to the whitelist using a synonym of its root url, petitions.whitehouse.gov/index.php. I think it should be taken back out (removed from the whitelist). (I don't understand the need for a synonym. This URL is no more or less dangerous than the root URL. Someone seems to think that adding the root page of a domain (calling it "top domain", whatever that means) adds the entire domain. They are not the same thing.)
(Also, how about sorting the whitelist page next edit?) - A876 ( talk) 07:18, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
I think we would have understood each other better if content here were clearer and terms were chosen more carefully. "Top domain" has no clear meaning to me – it sounds like " top-level domain", something which will "never" turn up in this whitelist. (The blacklist holds mostly second-level domains, so this whitelist could hold some third-level domains. A bad-enough top-level domain could be added to the blacklist, in which case the whitelist might begin to add some second-level domains.) "Root domain" also has no clear meaning to me – it sounds like either the DNS root zone (the parent of every top-level domain) -or- the root of a top-level domain, which can serve a website. (Though very few do, e.g. the redirectors http://org./ http://tv./ http://at./ http://ai./ etc. They use that obscure syntax because the "more-obvious" http://org looks for a computer on your LAN named "org", and http://.org must have seemed inelegant.) You seem to be using "top domain" and "root domain" to mean the top of a domain or the root of a domain. But I can't sustain that reading; the word "domain" keeps hitting me and it doesn't fit the context. The root folder and "everything in the root folder" are not the same thing (though they might seem that way if you are working with an inadequate processor that can't distinguish them). I think it is better to never use the phrases "top domain" and "root domain" again.
A domain or website has a tree structure, similar to a file system (and it usually maps to a folder in a file system). A website has a root folder. Every folder can contain files and/or [sub-]folders. A URL can specify a folder name or a filename. A server can handle a request for a folder name in various ways. The most obvious default action is to return a listing of the files and folders in that folder (though some sites disallow that and show an error page instead). The next obvious approach is for the server to first check for an HTML document (which typically describes the contents or actions relevant to that branch of the website), that folder's " webserver directory index". The obvious place to store that HTML document is in the folder itself, with a generic name such as "index.[s]htm[l]". The server usually scans a prioritized search-list of names, such as "index.php; index.htm; index.html". But there is no standard name; many names are common; files of every name can exist concurrently; and the addition of a higher-priority name does not delete any lower-priority name. If one finds that the server returns the same content for http://example.com/index.foo as for http://example.com/, that is not proof that http://example.com/ actually returns http://example.com/index.foo; it might only be a coincidence; only the webmaster could find out for sure. I think a webserver that (for example) answers requests for http://example.com/ by serving http://example.com/index.foo should answer any request for http://example.com/index.foo itself by serving a 404 page, simply to disallow the use of unnecessary synonyms. Lacking that mechanism, a webmaster could achieve the same effect through obscurity, by configuring http://example.com/ to serve http://example.com/unguessable.filename (or maybe even serve a file that resides outside the website's folder tree, if possible, but that is awkward). The "moral" here is: Linking http://example.com/index.foo is not good practice; such links go bad and don't always show it. If the site's homepage links and Google results show http://example.com/, it is truly shameful to go and "sniff out" the existence http://example.com/index.foo and link that instead of the root URL. It seems generally wiser to link http://example.com/, even if the linked site rewrites or redirects that to http://example.com/wafflepack///-/~/%1234/monkeybar.cs?one=banana&2=hammer&sessid=2193829381f23267&fbclick=ilnuminatti665.9#aplic_woo.
If the whitelisting processor cannot distinguish between the root folder and "everything in the root folder", it is sadly flawed, and probably needs a new syntax. (Btw, that \b \. stuff is ugly anyway.) There should be no difficulty listing the single "page" http://example.com/ without implicitly listing http://example.com/* (everything in the folder, recursive (or not)). Just as there should be no difficulty listing the single "page" http://example.com/foo/ without implicitly listing http://example.com/foo/* (recursive).
Webservers differ, and that could add difficulty. But I think it is possible to interpret whitelist entries without having to know which webserver software each site is currently running. http://example.com/foo/ "should" be a folder. http://example.com/foo "should" be a file. I'm sure many webservers interpret .../foo as .../foo/ when there is a folder but no file. Maybe some webservers interpret .../foo/ as .../foo when there is a file but no folder. Some rewrite the URL in the browser; maybe some don't. (It doesn't bother the webserver. Is it a problem for us?) It could complicate if the server allows a file .../foo and a folder .../foo/ to coexist (in the same folder). It could complicate if the webmaster replaces the file .../foo with the folder .../foo/ (or vice-versa). Some servers could be case-insensitive (foo=Foo=fOo); some could be case-sensitive (foo, Foo, and fOo can co-exist); handling this could be as simple as making the blacklist case-insensitive and the whitelist case-sensitive. Is http://example.com/ interchangeable with http://example.com? Is https://example.com/ interchangeable with https://example.com? (I think so.) If the website is on https: should it be possible to add a link to http:? (Probably not; the user will never pick up http: from a browser view, they could only copy it from a link address on a page or a text. Or maybe; the site could "downgrade".) If the website is on https: should it be possible to add a link to http:? (Probably; sites "upgrade" all the time.) What if a site serves differnt content on http: and https:?? - A876 ( talk) 07:00, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
