bnnbreaking.com
I would like the following link from BNN Breaking to be whitelisted. This link leads to an article that will be used as a reference for a quotation by Ice Seguerra. The quotation from the article explains the creation of Rampa Drag Club.

For the claim in piri's article that OnlyFans creators are paid in US dollars only.

 * I asked for this over a month ago. What's the holdup?-- Laun chba ller 17:34, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Because I'm the only person actively watching this page, and have been for months. I personally don't see the need to mention this fact cited only to a primary source, but at the same time I don't see what harm could come from whitelisting this specific help page, so I guess I will comply and say to MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist. --* Pppery * it has begun...  23:38, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I can tell you that the reason I asked is that it was pointed out during a recent WP:GOCE copyedit that it wasn't clear why an English newspaper was talking about an English creator being paid in dollars rather than pounds, and I wasn't able to find a secondary source to that effect.-- Laun chba ller 00:05, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

UK Government Parliamentary Petitions
Please unblock https://petition.parliament.uk (link broken to allow addition) petitions are an essential part of the UK democracy, blocking this link prevents the public of the UK from openly challenging their government.

The following article would benefit from the link being unblocked as it can not be adequately updated with current references for new petitions https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/UK_Parliament_petitions_website — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hicksyalex (talk • contribs) 04:59, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Per WP:NOTADVOCACY Wikipedia is not a venue for petitioning the UK government. The site being blocked here only affects links to it on Wikipedia. The article UK Parliament petitions website already includes a link to https://www.parliament.uk/get-involved/sign-a-petition/ explaining the process. If that didn't exist then it would make sense to whitelist just the home page or a neutral landing page, but that is sufficient. The rest of the article should be based on secondary sources explaining the individual petitions and their significance, rather than the petitions themselves, and has no need to link to them. Otherwise else it violates WP:NOTDIR * Pppery * it has begun...  05:06, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

Roblox Forum
Roblox forum post to confirm the death of Erik Cassel.

issd.org
Hello. I would like to reference the following links. They are not live issd.org links, but archived links through Internet Archive. But, because they contain the base domain, the spam filter was triggered. The archived ISSD domain represents the ISSTD's old domain, and thus contains archived pages of their old conference presentations I would like to cite inline. These references already exist on the page and they are important to support WP: FRINGE. Some of them don't have the ISSD domain, but they still triggered the spam filter.

 * the issd.org ones to MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist. Note that when citing these using a cite template you should use usurped so that it doesn't try to link to the non-archived sites which have been usurped. The isst-d.org pages don't seem to be blacklisted to me - I can link to them here --* Pppery * <sub style="color:#800000">it has begun... 23:33, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

Could I also please request these two from the same domain? Appreciate it. And thanks for advising me to note the usurped status, I used it.

Abijita Foundation
Abijita.com is a premier destination for cybersecurity news, analysis, vulnerabilities, exploits, internet defense, breaking news and events.

I would like to request a review of the domain abijita.com/what-is-backscatter-spam/ for potential whitelisting. I believe this resource would be a valuable addition to the Wikipedia article on Backscatter (email) (previous edit link: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Backscatter_(email)&oldid=1176345693).

Key reasons for consideration:

Technical Information: The website provides clear definitions and explanations of backscatter spam, essential for enhancing the article's content. Authority: The site appears to have .gov backlinks, suggesting a degree of credibility and relevance. Non-Spam: Upon my review, the site does not appear to have a promotional or spammy nature.

I would be happy to incorporate this resource into the Backscatter (email) article in a way that aligns with Wikipedia's guidelines. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 182.93.85.39 (talk) 15:20, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

www.kickstarter.com
Hello. I would like for the following list to be added to the whitelist for use in Hackaball, which is currently a GAN:

This link would be used to support uncontroversial facts on the concluded campaign for Hackaball: this includes the date range, exact number of backers, and exact funding secured. The only other page I can find with these figures is an SPS, which I'm uncomfortable citing in this scenario. Other sources only give rounded figures, so I feel the accuracy is a benefit here to the article. The use of this as a source would be fine per WP:ABOUTSELF since it is (presumably) uncontroversial. Additionally, I've proposed that the main image from the campaign is used as a non-free image of a toy, so the link would be needed in the file description regardless. I hope this is straightforward and is acceptable.
