message: 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.

message: It seems that Tenerife is the second largest African island, after Madagascar. Can someone confirm this? PWNGWN (talk) 14:18, 14 December 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, Tenerife is the second largest African island (after Madagascar) with 2,034 km2. Third is :Bioko with 2,017 km2, fourth is :Gran Canaria with 1,560 km2. Subtropical-man (talk) 18:02, 14 December 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: It depends on whether you count Socotra as part of Africa.   It belongs to  Yemen, but it is closer to Africa than the Arabian peninsula.   Linguistically it has ties to arabia (but so does Zanzibar and no one would deny that is an African island).  The flora is a mix of african and asian.   Geologically I think it is part of East Africa.  If you include Socotra, it is much larger than Tenerife at 3796 km2.     You may also see Mauritus listed as 2040 km2, but that is for the island nation of Mauritus which also includes Rodriguez island and a few other outlying islands.   Mauritus the island is 1864 km2.    It is possible parts of the Niger Delta might be considered islands from the inland point of bifurccation but it is hard to nail down exactly the size of thiese pieces as they are further bisected and much of it is mangrove anyway.   Nice question.  Aapold (talk) 17:30, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  2nd largest African island? 

message: This statement from the article:  "Vilaflor is the municipality with the highest altitude in the Canaries (its capital is 1,400 miles (2,300 km) high).".   This cannot be correct, as this would place it well outside the earth's atmosphere (which is abuot 17km).   The miles were converted to km (roughly, would be about 2253 km).   I suspect this was meant to be 1400m and someone somehow took that to be miles.   Indeed going by the article page for Vilaflor, Santa Cruz de Tenerife this is indeed the case.   So I am updating the article accordingly to 1400 meters (4593 feet). Aapold (talk) 17:32, 8 May 2016 (UTC)

message: Allow me to share a note about the prose in this article with the hope that volunteers or other visitors (perhaps some of the regular British tourists in the Canaries) could take upon themselves to perform. It is not hard to notice that the article has been mostly translated from the Spanish, which is good and fine as a way to jump-start the English entry. But at this point, its prose should become anglicized. 71.63.91.85 (talk) 11:18, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
