maybe we could add a few petitions that actually worked? -122.52.23.168 11:06, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
 * They claim have a few apologies, but I see little in the way of action. I'm not sure this is actually notable, though.  --Phirazo 04:15, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
 * On second thought, it may be notable, but most attention is on specific petitions (there is one about the Pottsville Maroons, which has more to do with the fact that it was started by a member of the press), rather than the site itself. The site has an Alexa rating of 4,191. --Phirazo 04:39, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Blocked?
I tried adding one of the PetitionOnline URLs to a Wikipedia article and got rejected by a spam filter blacklist (passed Preview but not Save). are PetitionOnline pages generally blocked? Where can I find the story behind this? —Tokek (talk) 21:35, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
 * The entire PetitionOnline.com domain has been blacklisted for "spamming". A request has been placed to unblock the domain, but I expect the Wikipedia admins had a good reason for this.  Perhaps enough time has passed and enough value is present within the site to allow the domain to be removed from the Wikipedia blacklist.  The request was submitted to Talk:Spam-blacklist on 2 December 2008. 66.253.47.250 (talk) 15:17, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

and for the sentence about the ended support it's

It's not possible to add it to the article as the PetitionOnline URL (but not the Change.org URL, senselessly) is blocked by Wikipedia. 87.77.27.9 (talk) 16:43, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
