Talk:Marc Koska

BLP reminder
A reminder to all editors that per the WP:Biographies of living people policy, any unsourced material can be removed—especially if the material is controversial or potentially defamatory.

Religious affiliation is inherently controversial. Please make sure that solid sources are provided before any mention of his religious beliefs is made in the article.

Edits to the article that are disruptive, defamatory, or that grossly violate may lead to be it being protected, which will restrict some users from editing the article. —C.Fred (talk) 00:51, 15 February 2011 (UTC)Articles

Why is the article locked?
Possibly it was in order to prevent mention of Koska's involvement with scientology? This is mentioned in Scientology News of August 29, 2011. There is an article about his wife in a similar publication in April, 2011.

There is also a website that purports to be Koska's that mentions scientology, but the website looks fake to me.

 * The edits that caused the page to be locked were far more than just a mention of Scientology. They were severe violations of WP:BLP—so severe that the edits in question had to be deleted. —C.Fred (talk) 04:30, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

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 it's 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:

 * Triggered by  on the local blacklist
