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:

✅ This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.— cyberbot II NotifyOnline 01:25, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

 * I ended up making the edit as I was encouraged to be bold by a fellow editor. Please let me know if anything needs to be changed or updated.  Thank you! MRYork (talk) 19:41, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
 * It's a primary source. A WP:SECONDARY is preferred. Walter Görlitz (talk) 20:15, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm the "fellow editor" to whom MRYork is referring. A secondary source is preferred here, Mike, but the primary isn't the worst thing in the world in this instance. This edit is much more along the lines of what you need to be providing than your previous efforts that caused all of the ruckus. Thanks for sticking around and contributing!
