I've just fully protected this page due to the edit warring. Please discuss the issue on the talk page. Mark Arsten ( talk) 13:52, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
User:Wikidemon is adding a citation that is currently being blacklisted as its host is listed on MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist. As anyone can clearly see, gayot.com is indeed on MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist. In fact, this citation was tagged by User:Cyberbot_II, however, for reasons unstated, Wikidemon claims the bot is wrong and that this link is not blacklisted. See the history page for a page protection that resulted from another editor The Banner also removing this link and Wikidemon reinserting it. I have posted a method for which to get this link onto the MediaWiki talk:Spam-whitelist, but it seems to have been ignored by Wikidemon. Transcendence ( talk) 22:57, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
[edit conflict — here was my attempt to open the discussion] A couple editors have repeatedly reverted to try to remove a citation link to an article on gayot.com, based on the site's being on the blacklist. [1] I can find no policy on the encyclopedia that mandates such removal or gives such links any special status. The link is there because it appropriately verifies an important claim in the article, namely that Giradet is a critic of molecular gastronomy. Does anyone have a substantive content-related reason why the link does not adequately verify the proposition or why it should otherwise be removed? - Wikidemon ( talk) 23:05, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
It appears that the gayot.com article is referencing an interview that, though in French, has been covered by at least one major mainstream English source — an English article from Agence France-Presse. That would source the claim very well, only the only link available is google news, which is not a good stable link. [2] If anybody wants to get their head out of their arse long enough to make an actual improvement to the encyclopedia instead of replacing reliable sources with fact tags, it would be of some help if anyone knows a way to get to the source AFP article. Thanks, - Wikidemon ( talk) 00:28, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

tags. The article that you are referencing on gayot.com for Girardet looks ok, not great, but ok. It would be best if you use the original source or the mainstream English source. There is a thing called Google translate. You don't need a French speaker.
