I cannot revert Whiteworks i.e. add the link to the website back, because it is blacklisted. Please can a sysop do this for me. Jolly Ω Janner 13:45, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
Despite all the discussion it still hasn't been added back. Even if an administrator added it back, how long would it be before the certain disruptive user removes it again? I believe it is all the same user, who probably added the link to random places, so it could get blacklisted and so that this very problem would erupt. If Smalljim was here, he would've reverted it by now. Jolly Ω Janner 16:35, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
Couched within rapidly deleted demonstrations of a continuing inability to digest what's clearly written in the green box above, persons unknown seem to be making a single reasonable point. Google says the shopping mall is here, not quite where the article says it is. The part of the name of the graphic that seems to indicate location is (with spaces inserted to avoid the need for lateral scrolling): Point.latitude_e6=50371606 &Point.longitude_e6=4290829871 &Point.iconid=15&Point=e& latitude_e6=50371606& longitude_e6=4290829871. I'm not sure how to parse that; perhaps somebody else could have a bash at it. -- Hoary ( talk) 15:35, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
This thread has taken a very bizarre direction while I slept. I understand that thinking people among you have been distracted by whack-a-troll, but the very first response does seem directed at my original post, and the question What does this have to do with Wikipedia? puzzles me.
So I'll try again.
The article is of course about DCSC and has two location links for this. They're the same: 50°22′20″N 4°08′16″W / 50.37222°N 4.13778°W / 50.37222; -4.13778. I clicked on one of the pair. The page gave various options; I clicked on the Google Maps option. I was presented with a map with a pointer to a place I'll call A.
In another window, I went to DCSC's own website. It's a boring affair but I think it can be trusted to show where the place is. It has a "getting here" page, www.drakecircus.com/getting-here , which has a map (unfortunately stylized) that shows DCSC as at a place I'll call B. This is close to but not the same as A.
I then opened a third Window, and asked Google Maps where DCLC was. It gave me a map showing DCSC at B.
I infer that the article gives the wrong coordinates for its subject. And what this has to do with Wikipedia is misinformation.
I was so sleepy at 15:35 somebody-else's-time that I didn't notice that the complex filename does appear give the coordinates of a single point, viz 50.371606 -4.290829871. However, that's a considerable change of longitude and I can only infer that Google Maps is using some other reference point for its internal purposes. -- Hoary ( talk) 00:06, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
If 50°22′20″N 4°08′16″W / 50.37222°N 4.13778°W / 50.37222; -4.13778 is wrong for the shopping centre, what is right for it? -- Hoary ( talk) 00:57, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
It's been suggested an external link to http://www.completelyretail.co.uk/portfolio/BritishLand/scheme/Drake-Circus-Plymouth/index is not necessary. Given that the content comes directly from the landowner British Land not Kandahar estates and directly contradicts much of the information on the wiki i.e. it's more accurate and up-to-date I would have thought it was more than relevant but required to verify that the information available was correct. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Benparer ( talk • contribs) 15:48, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.
Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

on the local blacklistIf you would like me to provide more information on the talk page, contact User:Cyberpower678 and ask him to program me with more info.

Cyberbot II has detected links on Drake Circus Shopping Centre which have been added to the blacklist, either globally or locally. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed or are highly inappropriate for Wikipedia. The addition will be logged at one of these locations: local or global If you believe the specific link should be exempt from the blacklist, you may request that it is white-listed. Alternatively, you may request that the link is removed from or altered on the blacklist locally or globally. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. Please do not remove the tag until the issue is resolved. You may set the invisible parameter to "true" whilst requests to white-list are being processed. Should you require any help with this process, please ask at the help desk.
