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 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.
Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:
*http://www.railway-technology.com/projects/jerusalem/
*:Triggered by \brailway-technology\.com\b on the local blacklist
If you would like me to provide more information on the talk page, contact User:Cyberpower678 and ask him to program me with more info.

message: The word "Israel" was removed from the lead after the word "Jerusalem" in this edit from 2013, which was made by a respected and experienced editor. However I disagree with it. First of all, it is only logical and common to have the country in the lead when we are dealing with an article about a geographical entity. In addition, some will maintain that not all of Jerusalem is in Israel, while the Jaffa Road specifically is all in Israel, and the addition of the word "Israel" helps to make that clear.

message: Is there any particular reason why this article is named "Jaffa Road", and not "Jaffa Street"? The former name appears to be used mainly in Wikimedia projects - and even then not always, as in Wikivoyage, which uses both. The latter name appears to be the one used most often by the locals (and also by Google Maps), although the thoroughfare is also sometimes called just "Jaffa". The name "Jaffa Street" is also the one used on the street sign depicted in one of the images displayed in the article. 
Further, as a native speaker of English, I think that the word "street" is more appropriate than "road" for the subject of this article - "street" means "a public road in a city, town, or village, typically with houses and buildings on one or both sides", and the subject of this article completely fits that description.

replies: text: But this isn't an article about a highway from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv. That article is called Highway 1 (Israel), and this article is about a street in Jerusalem. The Times of Israel, the Jerusalem Post, and Haaretz all routinely refer to the street in Jerusalem as "Jaffa Street". If the expression "Jaffa Road" was previously used to describe the Highway, then "Jaffa Road" should be a redirect to Highway 1 (Israel), and this article should be renamed "Jaffa Street".

replies: text:  You seem to forget that the street in Jerusalem is part of that road connecting Jaffa and Jerusalem. In earlier times, what is now called Rechov Jaffa in Hebrew, lay outside the city, and was part of the road that connected Jaffa and Jerusalem. Which is why it is called Rechov Jaffa. Same is true for Derech Hevron, which is Hebron Road, which is called so for the same reason. And see :File:Hebron Road, Jerusalem IMG 5036.JPG, that it is specifically called "Hebron Road".

text:  Correct, and anyway the Times of Israel, the Jerusalem Post, and Haaretz each have hundreds of mentions of "Jaffa Road". Look what came at first when I searched at Times of Israel:  "JAFFA ROAD — the main road of Jerusalem... it's NOT called Jaffa Street". Zerotalk 19:23, 2 August 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Is it really Jaffa Road? 

message: Debresser, what do you mean by "in the recognized part" ?  What part of Jerusalem is internationally recognized as Israel? --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 14:23, 6 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: The part that is not East Jerusalem. Debresser (talk) 17:08, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Do you have any reliable source that shows that West Jerusalem is internationally recognized as Israel? The text in the article doesn't even say West Jerusalem, it says "Jerusalem, Israel", so it is claiming that all of it is Israel. --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 05:16, 8 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  That is your POV reading things into it that nobody means to say. Debresser (talk) 13:00, 8 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: You have failed to show that West Jerusalem is internationally recognized as Israel. Revert your POV edit. --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 07:21, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
