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 its 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.

message: Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have made an updated version of "A map with MBT LAW operators in blue", but I don't know how can I update an existing image. Or should I upload a new one and replace it in the article itself?
I have no idea about all that copyright stuff, and it's somewhat confusing. I just took an existing original one and painted additional area in colour to be in accordance with the current state of things and with the page content.
Here's the image: https://imgur.com/9lSWSUY
If someone could update it, I would be very grateful.
Thank you.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by DanBlack1800 (talk • contribs) 09:44, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

message: While the system was developed in Sweden by Bofors, manufacturing takes place entirely in the UK, and the overview section makes multiple mentions of the system being a collaboration between British and Swedish companies, as well as the British Ministry of Defence. As such I think the term ‘Anglo-Swedish’ is an appropriate description of the weapon, rather than just ‘Swedish’ or ‘British.’ 2A02:C7E:2C10:4900:CDE:1729:2A04:1CBD (talk) 17:13, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Concur. Further, the source being used by another IP to exclude the UK does mention the UK's involvement, and is an unreliable source, as it is self-published amd accepts user submissions. BilCat (talk) 00:24, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: First off, the author of this article is clearly stated further down, being Miguel Miranda, one of the 5 core-members of Military-Today; this is not a "user submission", and absolutely not by me (I also added 2 other sources, for the record). Secondly, this is not the only self-published website used here, but one of few that actually specializes on weapons. Thirdly, Military-Today is widely used on weapon-related articles on Wikipedia, such as: BTR-80; Peugeot P4; BMPT Terminator; GAZ-66; MILAN, and many more. While Thales is mentioned in the M-T article, it is not listed as a country of origin, so this is not a question of having forgotten. Furthermore, it claims that this weapon is Saab's product—information that is not yet stated in this Wikipedia article (where exactly in the infobox should we list the supplier/owner?) Also, my agenda was not to remove the UK from origins, it was to cite as many figures in the infobox as I could; the UK just happened to not be listed as one (and would thus be unsourced). As we know, mostly UK companies, but also an American company (Raytheon Technologies), took part in the manufacturing process; should we include the US in place of origin too? And finally, why aren't neither SAAB nor Thales mentioned in the lede, and who's the developer and who's the manufacturer? Why is it better to be less specific and just write "joint British-Swedish", than to involve the companies and their involvement? 81.224.71.102 (talk) 01:30, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

message: The Royal Saudi Land Forces are currently listed as a user of the NLAW, and the infobox says that it has seen use in the Yemeni Civil War (2015–present), Saudi Arabian–led intervention in Yemen, and the Houthi–Saudi Arabian conflict.
None of the above claims have any references to back them up, nor are they mentioned anywhere else in the article. A quick search failed to turn up any reliable-looking sources except for this Forbes article, which simply name-drops Saudi Arabia and Yemen, and looks like a possible case of circular reporting via Wikipedia.
Incidentally, this same article is also used as a source for the name "MBT LAW", which is noted in the edit which added it to also have a chance of being circular reporting as well.

message: As you might have guessed, the 10,000 produced NLAWs (Deagel) is most likely not enough. According to the German article, 24,150+ units has been produced; the source used is Sipri (check Sweden and the UK as suppliers; 2002-2021; missiles - and you will get the data on a file). My question is, how do we cite a source when there is a file to download? I would like to swap the old "10,000+" number for "24,150+" according to German article/Sipri (+ the source for Indonesian units), but I don't know how to properly cite the source. I would appreciate your help. Imonoz (talk) 20:03, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

replies: text: Perhaps something like "Finnish soldiers using fireworks to demonstrate the OTA-mode on a BMP-2" could work in this article? Maybe this should also be made clearer in the original file information too. Imonoz (talk) 13:08, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
