 * It's used to cite information about her father. She's someone it's hard to find information on, but, she's notable, so it would be really nice to keep this link included. It's a good faith addition that's been there for quite sometime (and was added by me). Thank you for your consideration. SarahStierch (talk) 17:09, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Please clarify how this is a reliable source. Stifle (talk) 20:41, 5 October 2013 (UTC)
 * It's not. LOL. But, there isn't a lot of information related to this, and the majority of genealogical information comes from primary sources. But, I'm a researcher, I'm a curator by education and trade, so to me, using the occasional primary source is OK as long as it's used in a non-questionable manner.

 * ❌, self-admitted that this is not a reliable source. Stifle (talk) 11:42, 19 October 2013 (UTC)

www.calmira.co.nr/
This is a website for an open-source software product and is used as a reference in the Calmira article. I can't see any reason why it should be on the blacklist at all, but I am unable to identify which blacklist it is on (but a bot seems to think it is on one somewhere), so I can't request removal. --Pontificalibus (talk) 11:11, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
 * The tag gives you that information: Triggered by \bco\.nr\b on the global blacklist. [//meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Spam_blacklist&oldid=552117#Another_huge_list The request] was because co.nr offers URL cloaking and redirecting. Amalthea  11:37, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
 * co.nr is practically a redirect cloak, as Amalthea said. There are however some real sites using co.nr, I suggest whitelisting this link.  --Dirk Beetstra T  C 09:10, 20 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Belay that .. you want to see http://lordmmx.nethdd.eu/calmira/index.html, which seems to be the non-redirected site. --Dirk Beetstra T  C 09:11, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

youtu.be/H9qvhp8JMBY
It's my close up look at the Two Spotted Spider Mite which I would like to add to the Tetranychus urticae webpage as an External Link. There are no external links on the subject with live video on the spider at present. Thanks ツ smileclick   20  (email) 11:52, 24 October 2013 (UTC)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.169.132.254 (talk)
 * use the expanded link, please: http://youtube.com/watch?v=H9qvhp8JMBY (if I am correct that is the correct url). Redirect sites are not necessary anyway, and a way around the spam-blacklist (and many have been abused for that reason), and therefore generally blanket blacklisted.  --Dirk Beetstra T  C 08:46, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Not that i'm complaining but this is the worst attempt at copying a signature ever. Smileclick even kept the colour scheme the same and kept the number on the end, which has no part of the user's name! I've looked at that daily while waiting for my request to be dealt with and it still amazes me. Thanks ツ Jenova   20  (email) 21:44, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

youtu.be/ for adding Timestamps
For the article You Have Already Gone To The Other World, an album based on a 1964 movie, which is available in full length on Youtube, I'd like to refer songs to passages in the movie by putting a Youtube link with the according timestamp in the annotation, so that one click leads directly to the passage I'm referring to. But since the URL addition ?t=1m16s only works on youtu.be and not on youtube.com, I'm not able to do that because youtu.be is blocked on Wikipedia. The links I'd like to have are youtu.be/5GoXMSAMOyg?t=1m16s and youtu.be/5GoXMSAMOyg?t=52m33s. (I had to rename youtu.be to XYyoutu.be because I can't even put them here.) Thanks!

 * Please use the expanded links: http://youtube.com/watch?v=5GoXMSAMOyg?t=1m16s and http://youtube.com/watch?v=5GoXMSAMOyg?t=52m33s redirect sites are not necessary, and therefore blanket blacklisted.  --Dirk Beetstra T  C 08:48, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

andtan.newmail.ru
Hello, I see that our article Linyphiidae has some warnings about www.andtan.newmail.ru/list/. I'm sure there are reasons that newmail.ru is generally blacklisted (it's some sort of Russian MySpace I think?), but this specific site is a good scientific source for Linyphiid spiders. Can it be whitelisted? Thanks, SemanticMantis (talk) 18:36, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Does not appear to be a reliable source but I am not going to deny it just yet. I will allow some time to gather a consensus on WP:RSN as to whether it should be deemed reliable and whitelisted. If a link to such a consensus is posted by the end of the month then this request will be approved, otherwise it will be denied. Stifle (talk) 20:41, 5 October 2013 (UTC)

gehenna666.cjb.net/bio.htm


Used as a source on Gorgoroth. For some reason even the archive link from archive.org is blocked. This should be fixed so that archived versions of now-defunct websites can still be used as a source without triggering the blacklist. MrMoustacheMM (talk) 20:57, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Don't know why the archive link is triggering; it usually doesn't. Please clarify why the site is a reliable source. Stifle (talk) 20:41, 5 October 2013 (UTC)
 * ❌ due to lack of reply. Stifle (talk) 11:43, 19 October 2013 (UTC)

cbronline.com/news/britains_harlequin_announces_lispworks_at_us_artificial_intelligence_show
This link is used in LispWorks. It's a genuine news description of the software's first release in 1989 and thus a useful contribution to the page describing the software. Thanks. Nick Levine (talk) 14:43, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Looks like a press release to me. I am inclined to deny this request but will leave it open for a short while in case I or another administrator can be convinced otherwise. Stifle (talk) 11:57, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
 * OK, I guess I agree, it does look like a press release doesn't it. Nick Levine (talk) 16:43, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
