Back in 2015, the site for Time Cube was added to the blacklist because the domain expired and was redirecting to spam. Today, I tried linking to an archived version (web.archive.org/web/20150506055228/http://www.timecube.com/index.html) on the site's article but it was blocked. Please consider whitelisting the archive, as an article that discusses a website but doesn't link to a viewable version of the website has less utility.

Hello. I removed a copy and paste tag at Mastermind School as the source VYMaps copied text at Mastermind School. In order for me to put a backwards copy tag at Talk:Mastermind School, I request that this specific link from VYMaps be whitelisted for the Talk page of Mastermind School only. I currently can't add it as the entire website is blacklisted. Thanks! MrLinkinPark333 ( talk) 22:28, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

I'm not sure if this is just a remnant of spam that happened a decade ago, but I request that the two URLs given be whitelisted. They're used as citations for
ClariS and
Irony (ClariS song), but hidden thanks to
WebCite's short URL function and the use of |url-status=unfit

Hi. Just enquiring about the url www.thelondoneconomic.com as I've been trying to cite it on Lee Jasper.
I've looked at their site and it seems generally legitimate. However when I go to use a link it says it is blacklisted. I've looked on mediawiki and here and cannot seem to find the url blacklisted anywhere, and there seem to be no reports about it. Indeed the website itself has its own page at The London Economic so I'm not sure what the issue is.
Is someone with more experience with these issues able to clarify why I'm prohibited from using their links, and if not, could it be whitelisted? Much appreciated. Llemiles ( talk)

I wanted to include a link to the page explaining the practical approach in the page on wikipedia about the UUIDS Universally_unique_identifier (section Universally_unique_identifier#As_database_keys). The most recent blacklist for percona.com is about recurring edits. I certainly won't try this twice, I've spent more than enough time already :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jwillem ( talk • contribs)

Hey, I wanted to include this article as a reception in the Kaworu Nagisa article. Other opinions from sites I don't think are very reputable like Comic Book Resources are there. It seems the block was made on account of the platform hosting he site, but there are quite a a few articles using it in the same way already. Can I have it unlocked? FelipeFritschF ( talk)
The link to be White Listed hosts a duplicate of a home page of a site that often has issues showing a pop-up by its provider over the contents of the page.

Further argumentation: Without the link contacting the featured organisation can become impossible. It would deprive the Wiki entry of context. It also would put Wikipedia.org in a position that could make the seed-exchange organisation covered in the Wiki look as if withered while it is an active entity struggling at times with government interferences. The duplicate is made by a registered Wikipedia user and sponsor. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tarpal ( talk • contribs) 13:58, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

The following page citation for article Fluoride toxicity was rejected solely on the basis of the blacklisted URL: 'fluoridealert.org'. This particular page includes detailed summaries *and URLs* of 67 studies
<ref name="FAN-Connett-019">{{cite web |last1=Connett |first1=Ellen |title=Fluoride & IQ: 67 Studies |url=http://fluoridealert.org/studies/brain01/ |publisher=Fluoride Action Network |access-date=16 February 2021 |date=3 Sep 2019}} Detailed summaries of all studies</ref>
The page is primarily composed of a list of detailed summaries of 67 *published* papers from 1989 to Nov 2020.
EACH of the 67 summaries is topped with a URL pointing at the paper which was summarized.
I didn't see any reasoning for the blacklisting on MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist. (Was that added 15 years ago? Why?) If you agree that *this single page* should be whitelisted, and include the cite above in the returned message, I'll add it. Twang ( talk) 04:19, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

For example, I tried to add a citation to www.gangnam.go.kr/board/article/2932/view.do which was blocked because of this domain filter, although it is an official government website. I don't think that the intention of the original block was to exclude government domains, as the spam edits were all using .co.kr domains. I request to whitelist all .go.kr/board URLs.

I'm requesting this be whitelisted for the article Music (2021 film) due to the petition being a source about itself. Multiple reliable news sources have been used to verify the notability of the petition for its brief inclusion in the article which adds in to the overall narrative of events, however there is a difficult situation in that the actual signature count cannot be reliably updated to reflect its increases over time. (Excluding a mail online source, which itself is also flagged as unreliable, the most recent news source is a couple of days old, leaving the petition at 65,000 signatures, whereas it is now at 104,000 signatures, a significantly higher quantity). 188.220.86.46 ( talk) 12:09, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

However, occasionally, informative articles that are crtical of the government still slip through.
