message: I wanted to edit the article on HC Pardubice, a Czech ice hockey team, but the spam filter denied me to do so, because somebody had included an external link  www.mujweb.cz/Sport/hcpardubice/ . However, it links the article to a fan site of the team, which is relevant for the article and so I believe it should stay. Therefore I ask you to include this particular site in the whitelist.

message: Appears that narod.ru is now blacklisted due to spamming. Article on Vadim Chernobrov points to external links, a few to his own website on chernobrov.narod.ru (albeit in Russian). The other points to criticisms of his work on torsionfraud.narod.ru. There is no spam evident there. Please investigate and add the domains. Chikinsawsage 04:18, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

message: This links to an Italian-Bergamasque dictionary. It is a useful resource for Eastern Lombard dialect. There are not so many on-line resources for Bergamasque vocabularies and this is quite complete and interesting. It is also useful if one wants to compare Bergamasque with Brescian, this last being used as reference variety in the examples in the Eastern Lombard article.

replies: text: When you say "specific link" do you mean the specific blog post or a different link to the blog?  I was hoping to be able to use the entire blog, since I imagine there might be other useful information for primary source citations, but I guess it won't be too bad doing one request for each link (so long as this page doesn't get backlogged again).  --notJackhorkheimer  (talk / contribs)  03:18, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

message: I propose that the following site should be allowed on the Whitelist: bonbonsloche.awardspace.com (preceded by http://).  I believe that visitors to the related Wikipedia article might benefit from and enjoy seeing actual examples of the candies.  The site includes actual pictures of the candy packages - this is useful as merely stating in the Wikipedia article that the candy packaging is weird and was actually in one case banned, piques curiosity and visitors might like to see what the actual packages look like.  These packages are no longer available for sale in Quebec so the bonbonsloche.awardspace.com website is the only place they can now be seen. Signed: 66.36.128.112 03:18, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

The reason why I wanted this website to be removed form the spamlist was: I don't know abpout the other links to this page, but at least the one which was used at the wikipedia-article tetris www.gamesff.com/classic/tetris.html leads to a very good tetris clone which can be played online, so I don' thinkt its spam. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by MrBurnns (talk • contribs) 12:49, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

message: I move to add the following URL to the white list: zodgaming.zapto.org. It seems that the entire zapto.org domain is currently blacklisted.  In the Zod article, the author gets around it by simply bolding the URL but not properly linking it, but that's a big of an ugly (not to mention un-clickable) hack.  I'm not involved with the game or the article, but just happened upon it looking for something else.  Thanks! Revaaron 19:04, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

message: viartis.net/parkinsons.disease/ is an information web site concerning Parkinson's Disease. It is the most comprehensive web site on Parkinson's Disease - far more comprehensive even than the Wikipedia article. Consequently, it appears on all of the Parkinson's Disease web sites including National Parkinson's Disease organisations and Parkinson's Disease patient forums.
1. viartis.net was blacklisted after being added to only one Wikipedia article on only one occasion, for 15 minutes, on the 13th August 2006.
2. The brief addition was directly relevant to the article, which concerned Parkinson's Disease, and was added merely as a reference to further detail concerning that subject.
3. There is not even one advert on the entire web site. It does not promote anything or anyone.
4. According to Wikipedia's definition of spam, it did not fulfill any of the definitions of spam. 
5. There is no reason why it should have been blacklisted, which appears to have been in error.

replies: text: Hitler had Parkinson's Disease for at least twelve years (1933-1945). It is widely acknowledged that Adolf Hitler had Parkinson's Disease, in books, articles and documentaries. It appears on National Parkinson web sites and also on Wikipedia under famous sufferers. This fact was purposefully covered up by the Nazi party during WWII, but is detailed in the diaries of Hitler's personal physician Theo Morrell, who diagnosed him and was treating him for Parkinson's Disease for many years. --XX7 10:24, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

text: It was requested on the blacklist that it come here. It is very apparent by checking the web site, which contains no adverts at all and is entirely non-commercial that it doesn't fulfill any of the requirements for blacklisting.

text: If by "that" you mean Viartis, I looked it up in a Large Latin dictionary but couldn't find it, so it appears to be a rare Latin word. "Via" means "road" or something like it because the names of most Roman roads have "Via" in them. "Artis" must mean way or path, because the pharmaceutical company Novartis was named after Nova Artis, which they said meant "new way" or "new path". It's certainly not an offensive term. --XX7 22:40, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
