Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page
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 its 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:

✅ This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.— cyberbot II NotifyOnline 21:57, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

Routing through Armenia instead of Azerbaijan due to regional tensions
It seems India and Iran are changing the route to go through Armenia instead of Azerbaijan due to tensions in the region. Azerbaijan having regional tensions with Iran currently, and being backed by Pakistan are the reasons. If I get time I will try to update the article accordingly. —  dain  omite   17:22, 12 November 2021 (UTC)

Growing importance as alternative
There needs to be an alternative to the Suez and South Africa route. Now that war has broken out in the ME again, this becomes vital.

There is no indication when it will become operational and that needs to be at least estimated. One hold up has been settled some months ago, which arbitration system to use in Chabahar Port. 2001:8003:A070:7F00:25CF:CD33:D9F6:5AD2 (talk) 10:00, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

Main image...
The image in the lede - North South Transport Corridor (NSTC).jpg - shows and NSTC route, and also a "standard route," and this "standard route" circumnavigates most of continental Europe (outside of Scandinavia) to go from the Suez to St. Petersburg. I'm curious though why this "standard route" wouldn't simply go through the Bosporus to the Black Sea, which has a number of Russian ports. Of course the Bosporus is a high-traffic waterway, and there are sometimes significant wait times, but that's still gotta make more sense than sailing all around Europe, no? -2003:CA:8704:D001:B1D3:3E1A:95A8:BFBF (talk) 18:52, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

There'd be a physical limit probably for the narrow strait of the Bosporus to the many ships that need to travel the route. The Turks might not want that massive traffic there either. They'd have to police it and charge the ships. Maybe there is somethin in the Montreux agreement about not charging? The Bosporus route does not have a future for this kind of mass transport. The whole project should be called INSTraC 2001:8003:A070:7F00:F5C0:CD68:D19F:3BAD (talk) 02:00, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
