Wikipedia "Social alienation" reference #16 has the link to the article "The Impact of Perceived Alienation on Police Officer's Sense of Mastery and Subsequent Motivation for Proactive Enforcement," Policing: An International Journal of Police Strategies and Management, vol. 22, no.2 (1999): 120-32. The article is published in an international scientific journal and is the lead definition on this page (please see reference #1). I will remove the link if you like but believe the information is directly relevant to this page (especially because the high rates of social alienation with returning war veterans and among police officers due to the controversial use of force incidents). Please consider whitelisting the link and please let me know if you would like me to remove the link. Thank you, Icemanwcs (talk) 18:59, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

Please stop the blacklisting of the above link. It's one of the best libraries of economics texts.  Wik idea  21:35, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

 * @User:Beetstra, Why is this website being blacklisted though? It appears to be a collection of economics articles and I was just about to come here to request the same thing as I saw it blacklisted on the page Spaceship Earth.--Hibernian (talk) 20:32, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

Used in Centenary Bridge in a citation. It appears to me (as a local) to be a genuine photo. Kerry (talk) 13:41, 6 January 2018 (UTC)

Are photographic images (this one linked within a citation at Laurel Mall (Maryland)) to be blacklisted as well, because they're sourced from Wordpress? —ADavidB 13:56, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
 * This issue doesn't look to be for all of WordPress but just \bfiles\.wordpress\.com\b . A similar issue has been raised at meta:Talk:Spam blacklist --Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 14:29, 6 January 2018 (UTC)

johnbunyansociety.files.wordpress.com
Adding here according to the instructions from the placed template, but I'm guessing the tagging of every *.files.wordpress.com link isn't really a Cyberbot issue? Anyways, the entire subdomain johnbunyansociety.files.wordpress.com should be ignored by the bot. It's the hosting platform for The John Bunyan Society (a scholarly association) and the archives of their newsletter, The Recorder (i.e. everything on the domain will pass both WP:RS and WP:ELYES in the general case). --Xover (talk) 17:11, 6 January 2018 (UTC)

canadianshakespearenews.files.wordpress.com/2013/10/shakespeare-program-web-final.pdf
Add another (still going by the instructions on the template; see above). canadianshakespearenews.files.wordpress.com/2013/10/shakespeare-program-web-final.pdf is the program for a symposium on the Sanders portrait, and as such is a reliable (primary) source in that article (and a narrow set of related articles). --Xover (talk) 17:23, 6 January 2018 (UTC)

https://medievalsitesite [dot] files [dot] wordpress [dot] com/2011/12/chipchevron.pdf
Could you please remove your tag, and not re-tag the West Hythe article. As noted previously, it seems unhelpful for this bot to be mass tagging Wordpress-hosted sites. In this case the "offending" reference is a scholarly paper by Dr Secker, on the website of Medieval Site, which is a very useful source of scholarly material in the field of archeology. Indeed, the bot should be prevented from tagging anything at medievalsitesite [dot] files [dot] wordpress [dot] com which contains many useful documents.

Emil Thuy
Hello,

The blacklisted source has the only information extant about Emil Thuy's training of the Finnish Air Force. It is an important part of his career. Without it, there is a blank spot in Thuy's history. The alternative to whitelisting is deletion of this information.Georgejdorner (talk) 20:23, 6 January 2018 (UTC)

List of collectible card games
Hello, the bot marked this reference as a part of a blacklist without specifically stating why it's on a blacklist. As I understand it, primary sources can be used to verify the existence of an object, which is what is being done here in this list of card games. The item cited is specifically the pdf file of the rulebook for this game. I suspect the link was blacklisted as it appeared like spam or an advertisement, but it's not as the product is no longer being made. I'm asking you temporarily ignore this. Leitmotiv (talk) 20:36, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
 * It is due to a global blacklist of file subdomain for wordpress, see above sections for more info. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 20:41, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Where can I go to learn more? Leitmotiv (talk) 20:50, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
 * meta:Talk:Spam blacklist is the discussion that has been opened. All links to files.wordpress.com have been blocked globally. This is apparently due to spambots, but if you share your case there it could be helpful. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 20:54, 6 January 2018 (UTC)

Wordpress
The blacklisting of this domain has indeed caused an inordinate amount of collateral damage which is what this bot is bringing to light. The blacklisting was made on a global blacklist over at meta. Because of the severe amount of damage this entry is causing globally, I have whitelisted it locally. The bot should eventually come around and remove the tags again. I invite everyone to discuss this issue at meta: Talk:Spam_blacklist.— CYBERPOWER  ( Happy 2018 ) 21:34, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Many thanks for your prompt assistance.Georgejdorner (talk) 21:36, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I've commented on that thread. Thank you for your hard work. Leitmotiv (talk) 21:46, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the heads up. I've also commented on that thread. The Word Press domain can't be treated as a single website because it is simply hosting many individual websites, some of which may justify an individual blacklist but most probably do not. Kerry (talk) 23:51, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I have also been over and commented. I do hope this can be sorted.  Timothy Titus Talk To TT 00:24, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
