Talk:History of Solomon Islands

message: The presence of explorers and traders from the Republic of Ragusa needs to cite references. I did a quick Google looking for some verfication:
http://www.croatians.com/DISCOVERY-VICEROY-BUNE.htm - says that Vice Bune was a Ragusan in Spanish employ who was at one point Viceroy of Mexico.
http://www.goacom.org/goanow/99/apr/history.html - seems to verify the presence of Ragusan traders in Goa.
http://www.iranchamber.com/history/articles/pdfs/iranian_origin_croats.pdf - mentions Vice Bune and Ragusans in Melanesia, but the document deals with what I would call "fringe history" (ie. the Old Iranian origin of the Croatian people), so that discounts that, at least in my mind, as independent verification.
Failure to appear on Google doesn't prove anything, but it does nothing to allay my suspicions. Please provide citations, preferably from published material (books, articles). Citing old records and the like isn't quite good enough if you can't show where these have been published.--Iacobus 23:41, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

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.
Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

message: On 14 June 2014 this article was moved from History of the Solomon Islands to History of Solomon Islands as an "uncontroversial" move that was not challenged. However, several other moves that dropped the "the" from "the Solomon Islands" around that time were reverted. So, for consistency with the vast bulk of article and category names pertaining to the Solomon Islands country, I have moved this one back too. A related move discussion is at Talk:Monarchy of the Solomon Islands#Requested move 30 December 2015. Examples of other similar move reverts - https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Judiciary_of_the_Solomon_Islands&diff=622978396&oldid=612384877, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:Politics_of_the_Solomon_Islands&diff=613166056&oldid=612386964 Nurg (talk) 01:59, 22 May 2016 (UTC)
