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:


 * http://www.airforce-technology.com/projects/advanced-high-performance-reconnaissance-light-aircraft-ahrlac/
 * Triggered by  on the local blacklist

If you would like me to provide more information on the talk page, contact User:Cyberpower678 and ask him to program me with more info.

From your friendly hard working bot.— cyberbot II NotifyOnline 12:05, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

✅ This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.— cyberbot II NotifyOnline 22:23, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

Expansion and acquisitions
I've noticed many reports in the media about the Paramount Group expanding and taking over a number of other South African businesses as well as entering into partnerships particularly in the Middle East. The company appears to be in a strong growth phase, apparently fuelled by a fat order book. I will try to gather suitable sources here within the next few days so that the article can be updated.

 * I will be expanding this article over the next day or two. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 09:45, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Days turn into weeks... I'm not sure when I'll be able to get to this, but it remains high on my to-do list. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 17:06, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

I would love some assistance in making new edits and updates to the company page.

Navbox template
I propose that we create a Navbox template for this, and other related articles, similar to the Denel navbox. -- Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 12:22, 26 November 2016 (UTC)


 * take a look at Draft:Template:Paramount Group. I'm guessing you would be able to add some content. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 17:24, 30 January 2017 (UTC)

Thanks Roger (Dodger67) I've attempted an update. — Preceding unsigned comment added by FHF Christopher Onderstall (talk • contribs) 15:21, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

Design and vehicles
Propose the addition of the Mbombe 6x6 entry to the page. In May 2016, Paramount Group and Jordan Manufacturing Services Solutions (JMSS) signed a contract for Jordanian production and assembly of the Paramount Mbombe (6x6) at a dedicated facility in the Dulail – King Abdullah II Design and Development Bureau (KADDB) Industrial Park. User:FHF Christopher Onderstall (talk) 15:50, 28 July 2017 (UTC) In September 2016, Paramount Group launched the Mbombe 8. The Mbombe 8 might be a military vehicle, but it has the comfort of a modern sport utility vehicle (SUV). The vehicle, designed and engineered in South Africa, has top speed of about 110km/h. It specialises in protective gear for land mines. User:FHF Christopher Onderstall (talk) 15:50, 28 July 2017 (UTC) Roger (Dodger67) would you be able to assist in these edits? (talk)
