TinyURL
The real reference is army guide website which is on wiki blacklist. So, wiki doesn't accept that. So I used URL shortener..What else can be done??

 * Which is exactly why we don't use shorteners, and circumventing the blacklist is a very bad idea. If you think that an item is wrongly on the blacklist then appeal its addition at Mediawiki talk:Spam-blacklist. If it is a non-authoritative cite, then find an authoritative source. — billinghurst  sDrewth  23:34, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

Blacklisting of alpao.com
Dear Billinghurst, I am quite new in editing Wikipedia. It seems that you blacklisted alpao.com on external links (from Miroir déformable and Adaptive optics). Could you please explain me why ? Thank you in adavance.

 * The domain was added as commercial linking across at least 10 sites, has been and had previously been removed. The wikipedias are encyclopaedias, not directory listings  (please review External links). — billinghurst  sDrewth  10:26, 21 March 2013 (UTC)
