This site was blacklisted in February 2008 when it was hacked. However it is now safe and well maintained. There is a wikipedia page here: /info/en/?search=Tanners_(company) which from a usability perspective would benefit from a link to the actual Tanners site. Having requested that the site be removed from the blacklist it was suggested by User:Beetstra that I apply for the whitelisting of an about page- thusly I request that the page tanners- wines.co.uk/tanners-story be whitelisted. CCarson789 ( talk) 16:04, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
Thank you for your consideration. Has there been any news on the second opinion? User:Beetstra CCarson789 ( talk) 10:20, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
Has there been any further news on this request? User:Beetstra User:Amatulic CCarson789 ( talk) 08:45, 24 April 2014 (UTC)
It's been over 2 months since we have had any update on the whitelisting of this page (www.tanners-wines.co.uk/tanners-story). Please can you inform me on the latest news regarding this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CCarson789 ( talk • contribs) 08:23, 2 June 2014 (UTC) CCarson789 ( talk) 08:32, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

I tried to add reference to William Hill (bookmaker) with http://bookielist.com/bookmaker-review-william-hill and found out that it was blacklisted. The same got banned from Wikipedia, reason given was: # Reaper Eternal # Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Xbajs00. The link is a review to the article previously stated.

Link to Whitelist == www.htcampus.com/college/central-institute-road-transport/ == Link to be on Wikipedia Page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Institute_of_Road_Transport Explanation why page should be useful: The page www.htcampus.com/college/central-institute-road-transport is directly relevant to the Wikipedia page en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Institute_of_Road_Transport and should probably be white-listed at the root level htcampus.com unless somebody knows something I don't. This link provides updated Road Transport information in Central Institute of Road Transport along with information about college, courses offered, placements, facilities (hostel, library, and classroom), and faculty members. It will be informative enough to the aspirants looking for admission in this college. Also this link provides all relevant information at one place looking for admission in this college. This website deals with colleges & courses across the country India and appears to me to be both useful and without any particular problems. I do not know the original reason for blacklisting & may be someone listed by intention. I was going to delete the link but on second thoughts may it potentially useful resource for aspirants of that particular course. May be few of other website links is of businesses advertising themselves but most websites pages are informative enough or done by its competitors’ itself which is hard to control. This website is not listed at /common requests.

I'm not sure why moneyweek.com (see Moneyweek) is blacklisted and maybe there's a case for removing it from the blacklist. Anyway for now I was specifically wanting to just use this link moneyweek.com/author/dominic-frisby in /info/en/?search=User:Penbat/Dominic_Frisby as it includes a useful little biography of Frisby and a list of all his moneyweek contributions which is useful.

It looks like this site got blocked for running an extensive bot farm, so I'm not looking for a global unblock. However, the site has some reliable material about local politics which is simply not available anywhere else. I'm currently working on Cheshire West and Chester Council election, 2015, and I would like to be able to cite these two articles:
Most of the Cheshire directory is poorly maintained - it's only really the subpages of www.aboutmyarea.co.uk/Cheshire/Neston/CH64/ that have any value to Wikipedia. Smurrayinchester 07:42, 25 May 2015 (UTC)

This is an online copy (.pdf) of an article by Ian White which would allow people to read the article associated with a citation. Normally the article is available only by purchasing the November 2014 issue of Paranormal Underground magazine but through negotiation with the magazine Editor and with the Author (Ian White) permission has been given Tulpa.info to host an online copy (exactly as provided by Paranormal Underground magazine's Editor). As far as I am aware, this is the only authorized, freely-available, online copy of the article (which is copyrighted, and used with permission). I'm not trying to circumvent the blacklist of tulpa.info - the intent is to link to a legally-online-hosted copy of a magazine-published article (the only legally online copy currently, as far as I am aware).
The citation (Ian White) is to be used in the article Tulpa referring to the phenomena of online Internet subculture (relating to, and concerning, tulpa). The specific URL is https:// community.tulpa.info/attachment.php?aid=1072 .
Please excuse me if I am not eloquent. The article is similar to three other citations already in that section. Aristobleus ( talk) 17:46, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

We have a page about this source in Wikipedia. This is a useful source. It was used for sourcing in a large number of books ( see here) and certain wikipedia pages. It was included in blacklist without discussion, based on a request from an IP [1]. Note that IP provided link to discussion on RS noticeboard that leads to nowhere. This site has indeed been discussed on RSNB, and some participants expressed concerns in its reliability, while others argued that it can be used in many cases with appropriate attribution. In any case, simply not being a reliable source is not a reason for blacklisting. I therefore request to whitelist the entire site. My very best wishes ( talk) 02:12, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

I've been updating the article about Rick Shapiro over the past days. I'd like to whitelist the link to that specific article on examiner. I would use it as reference to add a sentence to the "private life" paragraph of the article Rick Shapiro, mentioning that he got married in 2013 to Tracy DeMarzo.

This is content relevant to the history of the Shire of Cardwell.

The regex that caught it saw that "ascendercorp" was still in the URL, so it will not update.
It looks like this URL was added to the "spam" list because sometime between 2008 and 2011 the domain was sold off to someone else.

We should be avoiding aggregation sites that rewrite news to avoid copyright issues, and otherwise summarise and change the effect of the news report.

That site was blocked because it was claimed that that site uses Wikipedia information (sometimes without attribution) and was linked from Wikipedia as 'extra information' - which, if it is true, it is obviously not. -- Dirk Beetstra T C 12:42, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
As an example: compare www.historyofnations.net/africa/benin.html's section 'Post-Independence Politics' with History of Benin's section ' Post-colonial Benin'; though one must consider diff by User:Calliopejen1 with historyofnations.net's 'This site is (c) 2004. All rights reserved.' - where it may be that the ball is actually on the other side. But then .. the diff on Wikipedia has (inline) references whereas the historyofnations.net page does not, as well as extra paragraphs in the discussed section. That ref leads to http://www.state.gov/outofdate/bgn/benin/196482.htm - which contains text similar as the two paragraphs in the diff that is not from historyofnations.net. I think someone else needs to scratch their head on this one, User:MER-C: are there copyvio issues, and if there are, on which side do they appear to be? -- Dirk Beetstra T C 13:05, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

preposterousuniverse.com is Sean M. Carroll's personal site, and the blacklisted links notice at the top of his Wikipedia article caused him to post at Cyberpower678's talk page about it. The site seems obviously appropriate to link to from his article, as it can be used as a primary source for statements by him etc., as well as for the link to his official site. However, according to the edit summary from when the site was blacklisted, it was being used by multiple spambots.

This page offers summarized information on
Gentiva Health Services. I see nothing wrong with the page. It offers news and updates from the
pharmaceutical industry. The site focuses on
prescription drugs Theses updates include new drug research, new regulations, company news, industry news. The site offers information regarding industry regulations. There are pages on medical devices, packing regulations,
inward investments, medical automation advancements, research, service and clinical trials, drug rules, news, and regulations, as well as a page on drug production and manufacturing. I read the above mention of the page, but still believe the information to be helpful at least as a starting place for more research. For these reasons, I request that all http://www.pharmaceutical-business-review.com/
Pharmaceutical Business Review pages, (pages categorized as business-review\.com\b), and all related pages are white listed. Thanks!

I don't know why the site was blacklisted because on various other topics such as the equivalent "Femicide" practically one source (Diana Russel) and sources that mostly quote her stating that gender neutral diseases like H.I.V. commit "femicide" while sources that have described the act of "androcide" (such as the killings as Srebrenica) are not considered to be notable for not naming, A Voice for Men is an example of a source that uses the term (per dictionary definition correctly) and the sources within the article itself are reliable and up to Wikipedia's standards.

I have been adding citations for the article, Hiep Thi Le, and I have come upon this URL:
www.examiner.com/article/chopped-contestants-hear-beer-here-on-food-network
I thought it would be useful for the Hiep Thi Le article because it mentions, "She also appeared in the Food Network's hit show, Chopped, in the 'Beer Here!' episode, which aired 23 February 2014." However, there was no citation after this sentence. Normally I would have deleted the sentence, but since the article is a stub, I decided to do some research. From what I found, that URL mentions how Le appeared in "Beer Here!", the episode of Chopped (TV series) that was aired on February 23, 2014. Therefore, I request that the URL be added to the Whitelist please, so that I can use it as a citation for the Hiep Thi Le article. Hitcher vs. Candyman ( talk) 06:27, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

I have also placed a " citation needed" after the sentence, "She also appeared in the Food Network's hit show, Chopped, in the 'Beer Here!' episode, which aired 23 February 2014." This sentence is found on the Hiep Thi Le article, so again I'd really appreciated it if that web page be added to the white list so that I may use it as a reference for that sentence please.

In attempting to edit the talk page of the We The People article, I received the notice that one of my reference URLs was blocked. I searched both local and global lists for matching regexes, and found this one: "\bpetition(?:online|s)?\b.*" on the global list.
".*"? Really?? Seems a bit excessive. However well intentioned, this is most definitely an anti-spam kludge. This entry should be removed or further narrowed. If it is not removed, a whitelist entry should be created for whitehouse.gov petitions. (Yes, I read the Common Requests page, and it still doesn't excuse a massive blanket ban like ".*". The policy also does not apply to this particular case, as it is blocking perfectly valid discussion that is relevant on a talk page--i.e. "can anyone find a secondary source for this?".)
I want to also comment on how absolutely frustrating this experience is. If you want to encourage others to contribute to Wikipedia, this is not the way to do so. Having to search a regex list for an offending URL is not user-friendly. It's especially aggravating when I'm only editing a talk page and trying to add references for proposed changes to the article. Is there no way to limit the scope of the blacklist on talk pages? Is there honestly no way to implement a user-friendly method of investigating what list entry matches and (just as importantly) why it was added to the blacklist? Right now the latter seems impossible even, as the list is plain, unadorned text, clearly meant for quick, machine-based parsing; shouldn't there be a human readable form?
Furthermore, when adding such links to articles, is there no way to improve the software to provide a way for consensus to be built on particular URLs within the talk pages of the article, so that massive/confusing pages like this need not be muddled through by the average editor? It took me multiple submissions just to figure out where my request belonged--and I consider myself more technically inclined than your average user. Editing a massive page like this just begs for such errors. Just a thought.
I feel it's worth mentioning that this experience has wasted a substantial portion of my time and definitely discouraged me from any future contributions. Please improve this system. 108.212.239.102 ( talk) 21:58, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
This is not the issue I am addressing here. Please re-read what I wrote carefully, including the parenthetical I added (while trying to move this to the correct section). The additional work/time it has taken to do this has added an immeasurable further amount of frustration, as I had to resolve an edit conflict with you before I could post it. (Kudos on the quick response, but please recognize this is request is not covered by the link you applied, and therefore deserves a more detailed response.) 108.212.239.102 ( talk) 22:26, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
Apparently the hour+ I spent on my first post was not sufficient; let me try to be a bit more clear: (1) There are multiple compelling reasons to whitelist this particular URL, as well as others in its class: (a) as I noted above, discussion in a talk page must be allowed to share links about relevant topics -- this alone should be compelling enough, but is apparently limited by a faulty system (i.e. blanket URL bans across all pages). (b) This is a government website which certainly qualifies it as a reliable source (at least insofar as to describe what is going on in the government). The fact that it is also a petition site doesn't diminish its authoritative capacity. (c) "Whitehouse.gov" references are already present in the article, demonstrating that it is sufficient to provide information on the petitioning system itself. The requested page is of particular suitability because it serves to illustrate the utility of the system (specifically that the threshold policy of the system is not always followed, contradicting the very first few sentences of the article). It is certainly a notable petition within the scope of the article, and external links to notable petitions are very appropriate. (Currently, there is already an external link to "petitions.whitehouse.gov/homepage"--which apparently made it past the URL filter.)
(2) The original blacklist entry itself is over-reaching: anything starting with the word "petition" should not be assumed to actually be a petition. These blanket bans inevitably cause no end of headaches. A more specific/directed approach to common petition sites is more appropriate.
(3) The usability of the URL filtering system needs to be addressed somewhere. If this is not the place to do so, I urge someone to forward my comments above to the appropriate place, and indicate that you have done so. I realize I am extending Wikipedia:Be_bold here, but I'm also applying Wikipedia:Don't_be_inconsiderate, as well as Wikipedia:Etiquette ("Do not ignore reasonable questions."). I have made reasonable comments on a system which has caused me considerable trouble (unnecessarily). It should be enough that I have taken the time to detail the problems. Perhaps you, who is more familiar with Wikipedia than I, would be so kind to respect that and forward the issues.

In the process of working on Draft:Kahoot!, I have noticed that all uservoice.com URLs are blocked from being cited with {{ cite web}} and friends.

Hi, I am fairly new to Wikipedia but I have an article that I am trying to improve by adding a web reference. However, I got an error message saying that the link I am trying to add is blacklisted and my edit was not accepted. Can you please let me know if/how I can get this specific URL whitelisted? From my reading of the article, it appears to be a neutral description of a famous former Indian tennis player and current business person. The wikipedia article Bhargav Sri Prakash may have an opportunity to be enhanced from having this online reference as further reference for his achievements in Indian tennis in the early 1990s, which was from a time when the internet barely existed. Given that such notable historic information is much harder to trace and document through the archives of newspaper articles/magazines/journals/books etc, which are the only way to reference achievements from a pre internet era, this particular URL could benefit Wikipedia users by providing an easy way to read the reference about this notable Indian.

I would like to request that ONLY the following three links to the HubPages Wikipedia page be allowed (for citation purposes). I feel it is misleading for the existing HubPages Wikipedia page to state "Members retain all intellectual property rights to their content and can delete them at any time" and omit the fact that author content can never be removed. Furthermore, by deleting content or being "inactive," authors forfeit all of their earnings. HubPages still requires update tax information from users (even though HubPages does not issue any tax forms): [1] hubpages.com/help/user_agreement HubPages Terms of Use " [2] [3]
The wording I have used is as follows: "However, as stated in HubPages Terms of Use, "You may not remove your Author Content from the Service." [4]
Notably, under the heading Account Closure and Inactivity in hubpages.com/help/user_agreement HubPages Terms of Use], it states:
In the event of Inactivity, the entire amount of an Earned Balance in Your account will be permanently forfeit by You (and You hereby waive any claim relating to the dispute of such payment and disclaim any and all interest in such funds). "Inactivity" means that any of the following have occurred:
a) There has been no change to Your Earned Balance for a period of greater than six (6) months;
b) Your account has expired tax information that is greater than six (6) months beyond the date of such expiration;
c) You have uncollected payments or unaccepted payments by the payment company into your account for a period of greater than six (6) months; or
d) You have not responded to attempts to contact You at the primary email address listed in the contact information in Your account for a period of six (6) months from the date of the first attempt to contact You for which no response has been received.
In 2013, Simone Smith (former HubPages' Director of Marketing) stated, "We won't be sending 1099 forms." Marina Lazarevic, HubPages' Product Manager, confirmed her statement adding: "That's correct. There is an announcement in My Account > Earnings as well as an updated FAQ entry explaining why we are not sending 1099 forms this year. The short answer: the IRS introduced a new form (1099-K) this year requiring third part payment entities (such as PayPal) to send 1099s to qualifying vendors for payments made using their services." [5]
In 2014, Matthew Meyer (HubPages Staff) stated: "While the current US tax law does not appear to require that we collect tax information, the fact that this requirement has changed over the life of HubPages resulted in our decision to continue to require this information." [6]

Amatulić Thank you for setting me straight on the (dot), I missed taking out the "http://" on one link (so I tried spelling out dot). I've changed links accordingly.
The forum links were started by users of HubPages but the answers provided were from official staff members of HubPages. Therefore, the quotes I have used ARE official statements. (The users would not have asked in the forum if the answers were readily available elsewhere). Can they be cited without providing a link then? I only wanted those links whitelisted to prove these statements originated from HubPages staff. I will continue to look for these answers elsewhere (if I can find them). Just to reiterate: I did not quote user comments, I quoted official staff members of HubPages.

I am creating an article on Wondershare Software that can be viewed in my user space ( /info/en/?search=User:CNMall41/Wondershare_Software). When putting the website address in the information box, I was notified that the domain was on the blacklist. The purpose of placing the domain in the information box was to be in conformity with similar articles and also for readers to have a link to the actual site. I made the request to remove the domain at the global blacklist and was advised that I should come here and see if it was possible to whitelist the homepage of the website just for the information box. The request that I made was here. It appears that the domain was originally blacklisted along with numerous others during an investigation of someone using multiple accounts to spam links. I am not sure if this was on English Wikipedia or others or both. Just seeing if the homepage or the about page of the website can be whitelisted for the purpose of including it in the article.

Request this page be white-listed so it can be used on the page for Maynard (broadcaster). It provides verifiable support for the subject's advertising and voice-over work, which is unlikely to get any mention in more conventional sources like newspapers. Those sources talk about his more conventional careers on stage, radio, television shows etc, but they omit advertising. This is the only source that has been identified for that aspect of his career. In this context, it is more like a primary source which are permitted to demonstrate the truth of a statement which is not controversial. -- Gronk Oz ( talk) 14:39, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

This conversation is spiraling out of control. Bottom line: Beetstra already told Werieth that a URL path is needed. And because none was provided, Technical 13 was not out of line in closing this.
However, in keeping with standard practice here, we generally whitelist an 'about' page for a blacklisted domain. I agree with Beetstra that an actual URL path is needed, and I do not see any reason to trust the dot.tk company to never offer subdomains, since they seem to be in the business of selling .tk domains.

Following the recent blanket blacklisting of external links to naval-technology.com and related sites, I would like to request that their page on the Collins-class submarine be added to the whitelist. This would allow the page's use as a reference in the class article (where it is cited at nine points), and in the articles on the six submarines in the class (cited in each article twice). Based on my understanding of the class, I consider the information on this webpage to be reliable. In addition, some of the information in these articles is solely cited to the webpage; I am unable to find any online or dead-tree sources that also publicly publish the information and could be used to replace the source. -- saberwyn 11:13, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

This link was tagged on the article
2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami because the bot matched it to \brailway-technology\.com\b on the local blacklist, an obvious false positive. The site linked to is, indeed, all about rail technology; the specific article goes into much detail about how the rail system in Japan survived the earthquake and tsunami, and is a valuable addition to the article. I'm asking for this specific link to be whitelisted, but it might be a good idea to whitelist the domain as well, if that's feasible. railway-technology.com: Linksearch

This was blacklisted in the past (discussion about this present on the AVFM article's talk) because some random IPs were spamming links to it. The official representatives of the site have clarified that they had no part in this and would ban such people from their site if they knew of them, but nonetheless the blacklisting remains.
I would like to propose the selective whitelisting of notable authors (who have Wikipedia articles) who contribute articles there, so that these articles can be cited as sources on their individual articles, and possible elsewhere. I will link their names, their home author pages, and also the individual article pages I am hoping could be added to the whitelist.
Warren Farrell at avoiceformen.com/author/warren-farrell
Erin Pizzey at avoiceformen.com/author/erin-pizzey
Even if the other pages by other authors not notable enough for Wikipedia articles remain blacklisted, I don't see why these ones should be. If we look into the circumstances surrounding the original blacklisting, I would question the specific pages linked to and whether they were actually by any of these 4. If they were by others besides them, then I see no reason why these notable works should remain black if the site was blackened due to the linking of different contributors. These are all new articles and the spam vandalism predates their publication, so I am confident they were not the ones used by the ones who provoked the blacklisting.
Two other notables have also been interviewed in other articles on the site:
Personally I think rather than blacklisting the whole site, if particular pages have been spammed, it should be possible to blacklist JUST those pages, taken up as individual issues. Keeping in mind that people opposed to an article may spam it to get it blocked, as opposed to someone in support of it spamming it to get it noticed. It doesn't seem right to do the whole site considering that. If someone were spamming a link to unrelated NYT articles I doubt we'd block the NYT site or even those individual articles, and instead take it up with the spammer.

This is the website of a reputable academic publisher whose notability has recently been re-established on its Wikipedia stub. The stub would benefit from the inclusion of this url in the company information box - because the url will provide an easy way of definitively verifying key information about the company, such as the location of its headquarters in Bloomsbury, London and the publication types it specialises in. Drguybh ( talk) 14:07, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
It is true that this site has been abused in the past but this does not alter the fact that the subject is notable and that the article would be improved by the addition of the url for the reasons given above. The suggestion to whitelist only the 'contact' page seems to be the most reasonable compromise, taking account of both these facts. Drguybh ( talk) 12:09, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
I am having a hard time understanding the suspicion surrounding this topic. There are explanations for all the facts pointed out above. I am only editing the page mentioned because, as is evident from the content of my few edits, it is a subject I know about. Everyone has to start somewhere and there is a limited amount of time I can devote to editing Wikipedia. I have deleted the draft version of the page in my user space in case it violates policies. For the record, I am not an employee of any publishing company. If I were, is it likely that I would be devoting my Sunday to spamming Wikipedia on their behalf? In any case the above points are distinctly ad hominem. The subject is still demonstrably notable and the article would still be improved by inclusion of a link to the publisher's contact page. No one above has suggested otherwise or provided an argument against whitelisting a restricted portion (at least) of the publisher's url. Drguybh ( talk) 13:44, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

Link to Whitelist == www.htcampus.com/college/central-institute-road-transport/ == Link to be on Wikipedia Page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Institute_of_Road_Transport Explanation why page should be useful: The page www.htcampus.com/college/central-institute-road-transport is directly relevant to the Wikipedia page en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Institute_of_Road_Transport and should probably be white-listed at the root level htcampus.com unless somebody knows something I don't. This link provides updated Road Transport information in Central Institute of Road Transport along with information about college, courses offered, placements, facilities (hostel, library, and classroom), and faculty members. It will be informative enough to the aspirants looking for admission in this college. Also this link provides all relevant information at one place looking for admission in this college. This website deals with colleges & courses across the country India and appears to me to be both useful and without any particular problems. I do not know the original reason for blacklisting & may be someone listed by intention. I was going to delete the link but on second thoughts may it potentially useful resource for aspirants of that particular course. May be few of other website links is of businesses advertising themselves but most websites pages are informative enough or done by its competitors’ itself which is hard to control. This website is not listed at /common requests.

This is an online copy (.pdf) of an article by Ian White which would allow people to read the article associated with a citation. Normally the article is available only by purchasing the November 2014 issue of Paranormal Underground magazine but through negotiation with the magazine Editor and with the Author (Ian White) permission has been given Tulpa.info to host an online copy (exactly as provided by Paranormal Underground magazine's Editor). As far as I am aware, this is the only authorized, freely-available, online copy of the article (which is copyrighted, and used with permission). I'm not trying to circumvent the blacklist of tulpa.info - the intent is to link to a legally-online-hosted copy of a magazine-published article (the only legally online copy currently, as far as I am aware).
The citation (Ian White) is to be used in the article Tulpa referring to the phenomena of online Internet subculture (relating to, and concerning, tulpa). The specific URL is https:// community.tulpa.info/attachment.php?aid=1072 .
Please excuse me if I am not eloquent. The article is similar to three other citations already in that section. Aristobleus ( talk) 17:46, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

We have a page about this source in Wikipedia. This is a useful source. It was used for sourcing in a large number of books ( see here) and certain wikipedia pages. It was included in blacklist without discussion, based on a request from an IP [1]. Note that IP provided link to discussion on RS noticeboard that leads to nowhere. This site has indeed been discussed on RSNB, and some participants expressed concerns in its reliability, while others argued that it can be used in many cases with appropriate attribution. In any case, simply not being a reliable source is not a reason for blacklisting. I therefore request to whitelist the entire site. My very best wishes ( talk) 02:12, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

That site was blocked because it was claimed that that site uses Wikipedia information (sometimes without attribution) and was linked from Wikipedia as 'extra information' - which, if it is true, it is obviously not. -- Dirk Beetstra T C 12:42, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
As an example: compare www.historyofnations.net/africa/benin.html's section 'Post-Independence Politics' with History of Benin's section ' Post-colonial Benin'; though one must consider diff by User:Calliopejen1 with historyofnations.net's 'This site is (c) 2004. All rights reserved.' - where it may be that the ball is actually on the other side. But then .. the diff on Wikipedia has (inline) references whereas the historyofnations.net page does not, as well as extra paragraphs in the discussed section. That ref leads to http://www.state.gov/outofdate/bgn/benin/196482.htm - which contains text similar as the two paragraphs in the diff that is not from historyofnations.net.

I have been adding citations for the article, Hiep Thi Le, and I have come upon this URL:
www.examiner.com/article/chopped-contestants-hear-beer-here-on-food-network
I thought it would be useful for the Hiep Thi Le article because it mentions, "She also appeared in the Food Network's hit show, Chopped, in the 'Beer Here!' episode, which aired 23 February 2014." However, there was no citation after this sentence. Normally I would have deleted the sentence, but since the article is a stub, I decided to do some research. From what I found, that URL mentions how Le appeared in "Beer Here!", the episode of Chopped (TV series) that was aired on February 23, 2014. Therefore, I request that the URL be added to the Whitelist please, so that I can use it as a citation for the Hiep Thi Le article. Hitcher vs. Candyman ( talk) 06:27, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

In attempting to edit the talk page of the We The People article, I received the notice that one of my reference URLs was blocked. I searched both local and global lists for matching regexes, and found this one: "\bpetition(?:online|s)?\b.*" on the global list.
".*"? Really?? Seems a bit excessive. However well intentioned, this is most definitely an anti-spam kludge. This entry should be removed or further narrowed. If it is not removed, a whitelist entry should be created for whitehouse.gov petitions. (Yes, I read the Common Requests page, and it still doesn't excuse a massive blanket ban like ".*". The policy also does not apply to this particular case, as it is blocking perfectly valid discussion that is relevant on a talk page--i.e. "can anyone find a secondary source for this?".)
I want to also comment on how absolutely frustrating this experience is. If you want to encourage others to contribute to Wikipedia, this is not the way to do so. Having to search a regex list for an offending URL is not user-friendly. It's especially aggravating when I'm only editing a talk page and trying to add references for proposed changes to the article. Is there no way to limit the scope of the blacklist on talk pages? Is there honestly no way to implement a user-friendly method of investigating what list entry matches and (just as importantly) why it was added to the blacklist? Right now the latter seems impossible even, as the list is plain, unadorned text, clearly meant for quick, machine-based parsing; shouldn't there be a human readable form?
Furthermore, when adding such links to articles, is there no way to improve the software to provide a way for consensus to be built on particular URLs within the talk pages of the article, so that massive/confusing pages like this need not be muddled through by the average editor? It took me multiple submissions just to figure out where my request belonged--and I consider myself more technically inclined than your average user. Editing a massive page like this just begs for such errors. Just a thought.
I feel it's worth mentioning that this experience has wasted a substantial portion of my time and definitely discouraged me from any future contributions. Please improve this system. 108.212.239.102 ( talk) 21:58, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

Apparently the hour+ I spent on my first post was not sufficient; let me try to be a bit more clear: (1) There are multiple compelling reasons to whitelist this particular URL, as well as others in its class: (a) as I noted above, discussion in a talk page must be allowed to share links about relevant topics -- this alone should be compelling enough, but is apparently limited by a faulty system (i.e. blanket URL bans across all pages). (b) This is a government website which certainly qualifies it as a reliable source (at least insofar as to describe what is going on in the government). The fact that it is also a petition site doesn't diminish its authoritative capacity. (c) "Whitehouse.gov" references are already present in the article, demonstrating that it is sufficient to provide information on the petitioning system itself. The requested page is of particular suitability because it serves to illustrate the utility of the system (specifically that the threshold policy of the system is not always followed, contradicting the very first few sentences of the article). It is certainly a notable petition within the scope of the article, and external links to notable petitions are very appropriate. (Currently, there is already an external link to "petitions.whitehouse.gov/homepage"--which apparently made it past the URL filter.)
(2) The original blacklist entry itself is over-reaching: anything starting with the word "petition" should not be assumed to actually be a petition. These blanket bans inevitably cause no end of headaches. A more specific/directed approach to common petition sites is more appropriate.
(3) The usability of the URL filtering system needs to be addressed somewhere. If this is not the place to do so, I urge someone to forward my comments above to the appropriate place, and indicate that you have done so. I realize I am extending Wikipedia:Be_bold here, but I'm also applying Wikipedia:Don't_be_inconsiderate, as well as Wikipedia:Etiquette ("Do not ignore reasonable questions."). I have made reasonable comments on a system which has caused me considerable trouble (unnecessarily). It should be enough that I have taken the time to detail the problems. Perhaps you, who is more familiar with Wikipedia than I, would be so kind to respect that and forward the issues.

Hi, I am fairly new to Wikipedia but I have an article that I am trying to improve by adding a web reference. However, I got an error message saying that the link I am trying to add is blacklisted and my edit was not accepted. Can you please let me know if/how I can get this specific URL whitelisted? From my reading of the article, it appears to be a neutral description of a famous former Indian tennis player and current business person. The wikipedia article Bhargav Sri Prakash may have an opportunity to be enhanced from having this online reference as further reference for his achievements in Indian tennis in the early 1990s, which was from a time when the internet barely existed. Given that such notable historic information is much harder to trace and document through the archives of newspaper articles/magazines/journals/books etc, which are the only way to reference achievements from a pre internet era, this particular URL could benefit Wikipedia users by providing an easy way to read the reference about this notable Indian.

I would like to request that ONLY the following three links to the HubPages Wikipedia page be allowed (for citation purposes). I feel it is misleading for the existing HubPages Wikipedia page to state "Members retain all intellectual property rights to their content and can delete them at any time" and omit the fact that author content can never be removed. Furthermore, by deleting content or being "inactive," authors forfeit all of their earnings. HubPages still requires update tax information from users (even though HubPages does not issue any tax forms): [1] hubpages.com/help/user_agreement HubPages Terms of Use " [2] [3]
The wording I have used is as follows: "However, as stated in HubPages Terms of Use, "You may not remove your Author Content from the Service." [4]
Notably, under the heading Account Closure and Inactivity in hubpages.com/help/user_agreement HubPages Terms of Use], it states:
In the event of Inactivity, the entire amount of an Earned Balance in Your account will be permanently forfeit by You (and You hereby waive any claim relating to the dispute of such payment and disclaim any and all interest in such funds). "Inactivity" means that any of the following have occurred:
a) There has been no change to Your Earned Balance for a period of greater than six (6) months;
b) Your account has expired tax information that is greater than six (6) months beyond the date of such expiration;
c) You have uncollected payments or unaccepted payments by the payment company into your account for a period of greater than six (6) months; or
d) You have not responded to attempts to contact You at the primary email address listed in the contact information in Your account for a period of six (6) months from the date of the first attempt to contact You for which no response has been received.
In 2013, Simone Smith (former HubPages' Director of Marketing) stated, "We won't be sending 1099 forms." Marina Lazarevic, HubPages' Product Manager, confirmed her statement adding: "That's correct. There is an announcement in My Account > Earnings as well as an updated FAQ entry explaining why we are not sending 1099 forms this year. The short answer: the IRS introduced a new form (1099-K) this year requiring third part payment entities (such as PayPal) to send 1099s to qualifying vendors for payments made using their services." [5]
In 2014, Matthew Meyer (HubPages Staff) stated: "While the current US tax law does not appear to require that we collect tax information, the fact that this requirement has changed over the life of HubPages resulted in our decision to continue to require this information." [6]

Amatulić Thank you for setting me straight on the (dot), I missed taking out the "http://" on one link (so I tried spelling out dot). I've changed links accordingly.
The forum links were started by users of HubPages but the answers provided were from official staff members of HubPages. Therefore, the quotes I have used ARE official statements. (The users would not have asked in the forum if the answers were readily available elsewhere). Can they be cited without providing a link then? I only wanted those links whitelisted to prove these statements originated from HubPages staff. I will continue to look for these answers elsewhere (if I can find them). Just to reiterate: I did not quote user comments, I quoted official staff members of HubPages.
These two quotes are from the same source: hubpages.com/forum/topic/109142
"We won't be sending 1099 forms." ~ Simone Smith (former HubPages' Director of Marketing) and "That's correct.

The short answer: the IRS introduced a new form (1099-K) this year requiring third part payment entities (such as PayPal) to send 1099s to qualifying vendors for payments made using their services." ~ Marina Lazarevic, HubPages' Product Manager

"While the current US tax law does not appear to require that we collect tax information, the fact that this requirement has changed over the life of HubPages resulted in our decision to continue to require this information." ~ Matthew Meyer (HubPages Staff)

I am creating an article on Wondershare Software that can be viewed in my user space ( /info/en/?search=User:CNMall41/Wondershare_Software). When putting the website address in the information box, I was notified that the domain was on the blacklist. The purpose of placing the domain in the information box was to be in conformity with similar articles and also for readers to have a link to the actual site. I made the request to remove the domain at the global blacklist and was advised that I should come here and see if it was possible to whitelist the homepage of the website just for the information box. The request that I made was here. It appears that the domain was originally blacklisted along with numerous others during an investigation of someone using multiple accounts to spam links. I am not sure if this was on English Wikipedia or others or both. Just seeing if the homepage or the about page of the website can be whitelisted for the purpose of including it in the article. Please let me know what additional information is needed, if any, to complete this request. Thanks. -- CNMall41 ( talk) 03:39, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

Request this page be white-listed so it can be used on the page for Maynard (broadcaster). It provides verifiable support for the subject's advertising and voice-over work, which is unlikely to get any mention in more conventional sources like newspapers. Those sources talk about his more conventional careers on stage, radio, television shows etc, but they omit advertising. This is the only source that has been identified for that aspect of his career. In this context, it is more like a primary source which are permitted to demonstrate the truth of a statement which is not controversial. -- Gronk Oz ( talk) 14:39, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

This conversation is spiraling out of control. Bottom line: Beetstra already told Werieth that a URL path is needed. And because none was provided, Technical 13 was not out of line in closing this.
However, in keeping with standard practice here, we generally whitelist an 'about' page for a blacklisted domain. I agree with Beetstra that an actual URL path is needed, and I do not see any reason to trust the dot.tk company to never offer subdomains, since they seem to be in the business of selling .tk domains. Therefore, I am willing to whitelist www.dot.tk/en/aboutdottk.html in keeping with our standard practice. If that is not acceptable, then it's best to close this section as declined. ~ Amatulić ( talk) 19:06, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

Following the recent blanket blacklisting of external links to naval-technology.com and related sites, I would like to request that their page on the Collins-class submarine be added to the whitelist.

This was blacklisted in the past (discussion about this present on the AVFM article's talk) because some random IPs were spamming links to it. The official representatives of the site have clarified that they had no part in this and would ban such people from their site if they knew of them, but nonetheless the blacklisting remains.
I would like to propose the selective whitelisting of notable authors (who have Wikipedia articles) who contribute articles there, so that these articles can be cited as sources on their individual articles, and possible elsewhere. I will link their names, their home author pages, and also the individual article pages I am hoping could be added to the whitelist.
Warren Farrell at avoiceformen.com/author/warren-farrell
Erin Pizzey at avoiceformen.com/author/erin-pizzey
Even if the other pages by other authors not notable enough for Wikipedia articles remain blacklisted, I don't see why these ones should be. If we look into the circumstances surrounding the original blacklisting, I would question the specific pages linked to and whether they were actually by any of these 4. If they were by others besides them, then I see no reason why these notable works should remain black if the site was blackened due to the linking of different contributors. These are all new articles and the spam vandalism predates their publication, so I am confident they were not the ones used by the ones who provoked the blacklisting.
Two other notables have also been interviewed in other articles on the site:
Personally I think rather than blacklisting the whole site, if particular pages have been spammed, it should be possible to blacklist JUST those pages, taken up as individual issues. Keeping in mind that people opposed to an article may spam it to get it blocked, as opposed to someone in support of it spamming it to get it noticed. It doesn't seem right to do the whole site considering that. If someone were spamming a link to unrelated NYT articles I doubt we'd block the NYT site or even those individual articles, and instead take it up with the spammer.

This is the website of a reputable academic publisher whose notability has recently been re-established on its Wikipedia stub. The stub would benefit from the inclusion of this url in the company information box - because the url will provide an easy way of definitively verifying key information about the company, such as the location of its headquarters in Bloomsbury, London and the publication types it specialises in. Drguybh ( talk) 14:07, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
It is true that this site has been abused in the past but this does not alter the fact that the subject is notable and that the article would be improved by the addition of the url for the reasons given above. The suggestion to whitelist only the 'contact' page seems to be the most reasonable compromise, taking account of both these facts. Drguybh ( talk) 12:09, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
I am having a hard time understanding the suspicion surrounding this topic. There are explanations for all the facts pointed out above. I am only editing the page mentioned because, as is evident from the content of my few edits, it is a subject I know about. Everyone has to start somewhere and there is a limited amount of time I can devote to editing Wikipedia. I have deleted the draft version of the page in my user space in case it violates policies. For the record, I am not an employee of any publishing company. If I were, is it likely that I would be devoting my Sunday to spamming Wikipedia on their behalf? In any case the above points are distinctly ad hominem. The subject is still demonstrably notable and the article would still be improved by inclusion of a link to the publisher's contact page. No one above has suggested otherwise or provided an argument against whitelisting a restricted portion (at least) of the publisher's url. Drguybh ( talk) 13:44, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
