thread_title:  Permission to Include External Link 

message: I've just semi-protected this page, as it has been attracting a steady flow of vandalism for as long as I've been watching it, from IPs and newly-registered users. I can see precious little in the way of positive contributions from such editors, so I think the risk of preventing genuine updates is very low - and anyone who can't wait until their account is autoconfirmed can always request their changes here -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 10:16, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Phone hacking

message: I would like to add the line which explains that there are three main types of hackers (White Hat, Grey Hat and Black Hat). I think it is important to distinguish that not all hackers are malicious. e.g. "Phone Hacking - gaining unauthorized access to mobile device" is not accurate considering that there are also authorized hacking exercises meant to test the security of the device or network (Penetration Test or Pentest). 
Another thing worth adding is a history of the word "Hacking" and it's original meaning. Jacob O'Brien (talk) 13:21, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
