Request whitelisting of www.sanclemente.com/ole_hanson.php . I have no idea why it was blacklisted to begin with, it is a newspaper link needed to provide verifiability for the article Ole Hanson. I put spaces in the URL since this idiotic blacklist protocol won't even let me post the full URL of the link I am appealing to be whitelisted. Nice. Carrite (talk) 22:51, 21 January 2015 (UTC)
Using a valid link to the About Us page of manning.com in the Wikipedia article on Manning Publications would seem to fall within the 'General exceptions' section of MediaWiki talk:Spam-whitelist/Common requests and I would like to ask for this link to be whitelisted on this page, since in this instance, the link would normally be regarded as leading to the official site of the subject of the article.

I am trying to update the address for the UK's sixth largest energy company, the Utility Warehouse. They are a FTSE listed company. Historically, customers were able to create subdirectories on this site and this led to abuse. This is no longer the case and spam abuse will no longer be an issue. --Sspyrou (talk) 12:54, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
I'd also like to quote a message from their Head of Communications; "Please be reassured that we have a very strict anti-spam policy, and dismiss any distributors that are responsible for spam. We’ve really ramped up our monitoring and policing of this, and would be confident that the past issues are unlikely to repeat themselves son such a scale. Wikipedia will be one of the primary sites we monitor and police."
What do I need to do next? Thanks again. --Sspyrou (talk) 20:46, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
2. Used by MANY members of the Gerontology Research Group, and one of the few message boards that are indeed reliable sources. Many cases of supercentenarian claims have been validated or debunked by its members. DN-boards1 (talk) 04:06, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

I'd like these two articles from examiner.com to be white listed so I can use them as sources relating to the demise of the Freedom Pro Baseball League. This sports reporter seems to be reliable and his articles feature quotes and interviews related to the status of the league that I can not find in any other online sources. I had trouble even listing the links here for review so i had to remove the http:// part but you can see the content of the requested links.

I'm writing to request that there be allowed a link to a page at fisheaters.com on the entry "Traditional Catholicism." FishEaters is one of the, if not the, oldest traditional Catholic websites on the internet, it's used in RCIA classes (especially those organized by priests of the FSSP), it's cited in books, newspapers, parish bulletins, and magazines. The page I would like to link to: fisheaters.com/traditionalcatholicism.html All varieties of traditional Catholics would find the site helpful and informative, and Wikipedia visitors wanting to research traditional Catholicism" would find that page a scholarly jumping-off point. Thanks. Schoemann (talk) 05:38, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
I've moved this request down toward the bottom so it won't get lost in the shuffle, and renamed the heading to be more in accord with the guidelines. I hope both of these things are okay. Schoemann (talk) 06:43, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
Looking at old discussions about this, it looks as if the owner added links before there were any rules against it, way, way back in 2005. He argued that point, sought remediation against an editor who warred with him about his having added links, but got blacklisted in the middle of it all -- in essence, blacklisted for breaking a rule that then didn't exist (but does now). I think the site should be de-blacklisted, or at least the page fisheaters.com/traditionalcatholicism.html should be white-listed. Preferably, I'd like to add a link to the site itself (fisheaters.com with no specific page inside the site) to the entry "Traditionalist Catholicism" as the Fisheaters site is the best-known, oldest, and most informative traditionalist Catholic website on the internet. Schoemann (talk) 09:42, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
I don't see Wikipedia as an "indiscriminate source of information" either; I see it as a discriminating one, and as "the" site people go to to learn about a topic, which is exactly why I vote for including a link to FishEaters at the "Traditionalist Catholicism" entry. I mean, why be less informative rather than more informative? I'm not getting it. There's the issue, too, of what I mentioned above, how offering even an encyclopedic understanding of traditional Catholicism is made difficult because of editors with an agenda disallowing a more comprehensive approach to Catholic entries. The entry for traditional Catholicism, though, is set up for the very purpose of teaching about the topic. If the traditional "take" on things like the Rosary or other sacramentals, sacramental rites, the understanding of Vatican II's documents, etc., can't be related on entries for those topics (again, with the trad approach being allowed by Summorum Pontificum, and held by the priests of the FSSP, ICK, etc.), I'd hope at least a link to a website that explains all of that could be had on the entry for traditional Catholicism itself.

These articles are taken from a day-long interview conducted 35 years after then end of the actor's career. She talks about her family, early work, financial trouble, on-set experiences, and career determinants, topics which are not covered elsewhere. In particular she talks about the spurious nude scene in Gunn which lurks, inaccurate and unreferenced, in the article.
The interview will be a primary source for details of family and personal life - parents, childhood, financial and career difficulties, creative and professional influences - which are now absent from the article and from her official website. It will support some of her appearances until secondary sources are added; currently none of the Filmography entries are referenced. It might be used for a first-person account of how her career developed as it did. Her career was over long before this interview, so she is in a position to consider it more objectively from a distance than in earlier interviews. (And maybe she does.)
The interviewer is an NYU film studies graduate [www.examiner.com/classic-movie-in-new-york/mel-neuhaus] [1] with apparently a lot of experience writing about film but no paid experience as a film critic or journalist. Yappy2bhere (talk) 22:29, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

This is the official website of Stand U.P., a group supporting a lawsuit by the Marquette County Road Commission against the United States Environmental Protection Agency regarding the proposed County Road 595. The article already has external links from Save the Wild U.P. and the Keweenaw Bay Indiana Community, groups opposed to the road, so for balance now that there is an official website for a non-governmental group supporting the road, that link should be included for balance.

The following requests are for whitelisting of pages in order to transclude them onto "all on one page" Wikipedia Signpost editions. There is no need to whitelist them as the links can simply be placed without HTTP or with the nowiki tag in order to save them. However, if it is absolutely indispensable to have the links, I am open to whitelisting them for 24 hours only so that the pages can be saved; as they are unlikely to change in the future, the links will be removed from the whitelist thereafter.

The site appears to be professionally published, with multiple paid authors and editorial oversight.

GameGuru is The Game Creators's new name for FPS Creator. They're a notable producer of game creation software, with several of their products having Wikipedia articles (DarkBASIC, The 3D Gamemaker, AppGameKit).
The link should be unblocked because it is a false positive in a sense: the site is entirely legitimate and is not spam. The site is that of one of TGC's flagship products which they are notable for, so it would benefit Wikipedia readers to be able to visit it to find out more information about the product.
Thus, I ask that it be unblocked so that the company's Wikipedia page can link to the website. —ajf (talk) 01:10, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

However in attempting to add the url to Retro Television Network article, I am getting the blacklist block. I have currently comment out the url until it can be fixed. Spshu (talk) 17:01, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi, is there a good reasons why requests that have been processed, such as MediaWiki_talk:Spam-whitelist#tanners-wines.co.uk, are still in the section "Proposed additions"? Wouldn't it be more adequate to move them to the "Approved" or "Denied" sections? --a3nm (talk) 20:01, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
Is there a way to whitelist something for use only within a particular namespace? — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼ 18:08, 22 July 2015 (UTC)
The article Tom Clough has a link to some photographs of chanters made by Clough, placed by Andy May on shutterfly. That site has been blacklisted, though it is clear that the relevant page is innocuous. Can an exception be made, at least from this page? I doubt if any other page would need to point there.John Gibbons 3 (talk) 20:13, 13 August 2015 (UTC)
