I understand why the custom search engines from Google are blocked. However, I have tried to share this link with the Video Game and Pokémon project, and some have suggested I com here so that it can be linked to. This search engine searches only sources listed as reliable video game sources on [[WP:VG/RS]], and can thus be invaluable in finding reception and development data where it is harder to do, and all sources are guaranteed reliable already, provided one makes sure to skip over user-generate content on these sites. In short, I believe it can be a good resource if it could be linked to and made available to a wider range of editors. かんぱい！ [[User:Scapler|Scapler]] ([[User talk:Scapler#top|talk]]) 13:00, 23 April 2010 (UTC) |

I'm trying to use this specific post as a citation for the Encyclopædia Dramatica section i'm creating concerning a recent problem that has arisen due to the hosting costs of their website. I would like this link to be whitelisted in order to give readers a basic idea of the hosting costs, which i have quoted in the short article but need the citation.

# Explain '''which articles''' would benefit from the addition of the link. |
|||
:While the monthly cost of running a website is of some interest, particularly if it means the site may close, the information is of little long-term encyclopedic value, and there is no chance that any statement on ED, particularly a forum posting, could be taken as a [[WP:RS|reliable source]].

I'd appreciate it if someone replaces that link with /about, which does exist. While the /about page isn't exactly the most neutral thing out there, it's definitely more neutral than most of the content on that website and isn't unnaceptably problematic in my view.

:so I can quote it the Wikipedia article on actor and [[Barack Obama]]-impersonator [[Iman Crosson]]. The examiner.com article is a fairly extensive '''(1a)''' ''interview'' of [[Michelle Obama]]-impersonator Vernetta Jenkins, that sheds light on two of the spoof videos made by [[Iman Crosson|Crosson]]. The interview is '''(1b)''' quite specific in its details, and similar material doesn't turn up elsewhere on my Google search (Jenkins doesn't seem to be as notable as Crosson). '''(1c)''' Based on my knowledge of Crosson's videos, the interview appears responsible and credible. From <s>above</s> other discussion on this page, I've just become aware of ''general'' problems with examiner.com but this interview article doesn't seem to be written for quick-clicks. '''(1d)''' I plan to include what interview'''''ee''''' ''Jenkins'' says about the ''political'' (Obama vs. Fox News) content--'''(1e)''' since it's an interview, it doesn't have the credibility/reliability issues that it would if cited for what the page's ''author'' claimed.

:::To [[User:Stifle|Stifle]] ([[User talk:Stifle|talk]]): What makes the first article different is (mainly) the fact that it is an ''interview'' and will not be relied on for what the examiner.com ''writer'' says, so "editorial oversight" (or lack thereof) is not a real issue in this article.

Hi, I would like to request the petition on change.org for the resignation of Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury, to be whitelisted. I'd like to use the link on [[Makin Review]] which I have just created, and add it to [[Archbishop of Canterbury]] and [[Justin Welby]]. The creation of a petition calling for an archbishop's resignation was extremely notable, especially as (1) it was started by three clergymen in his province, (2) it received widespread coverage in many reputable media outlets, and (3) he did resign just a few days later. Being able to reference it directly will (in my view) improve Wikipedia. I am aware that change.org is listed under common requests to be denied, but in this instance, I believe it is an exceptional situation. This petition was closely associated with a significant event that was without precedent and will be studied for many years to come. The page on change.org includes the creators' reasons why they felt Welby should resign and so it is highly relevant to understanding this historic event. Hence I believe it should be allowed. If the link is whitelisted, I will also add some secondary sources about the petition to confirm its notability. [[User:SmilingFace|SmilingFace]] ([[User talk:SmilingFace|talk]]) 20:31, 17 November 2024 (UTC) |
|||
:{{rto|SmilingFace}} {{Declined}} Wikipedia is not an advocacy venue, as linking to an active petition would inevitably be (I'm not claiming that's what you're trying to do, I'm claiming it's what the effect would be). If you have secondary sources describing the petition's significance, you can just link to those instead.

so I can quote its observation in the [[Iman Crosson]] article: |
|||
"Everything from the concept to the costumes, indicates that while keeping the parody close to the original 'Thriller' was intended, it is more a message on Fox News and Obama." . . . . . Thanks. [[User:RCraig09|RCraig09]] ([[User talk:RCraig09|talk]]) 06:20, 5 May 2010 (UTC)</s> |

:: Hi, This is not about advocacy. Whilst the petition is technically still active, it is no longer relevant as Welby has said he will resign. This news is so notable that it is still on the front page of Wikipedia, despite it being 5 days old now! I have added some secondary sources referencing the petition, but none contain the text of what the petition's creators actually wrote, which is historically significant in a digital age. So being able to link it will improve our articles about this important event. It's a bit like linking to one of Donald Trump's tweets, which are similarly of historic significance and allowed. Please can you reconsider. [[User:SmilingFace|SmilingFace]] ([[User talk:SmilingFace|talk]]) 21:42, 17 November 2024 (UTC) |

:::Again, {{declined}}. If none of the sources referencing the petition found the actual text in it important enough to quote, why should Wikipedia make the opposite editorial judgment? We shouldn't need to link to Trump's tweets either, especially when they are widely quoted.

The Official Reports of the American Civil war are primary sources. The officers who wrote them may not be unbiased but they are accurate in the sense that this is what they wrote in their reports and for balance there are the reports of other officers, both Union & Confederate, of the same events. The cross referencing of unit names where they are referred to by their commander's name and the spreadsheet of casualties by regiment is draw from the official reports themselves. |

This is the website of the [[New Zealand Parliament]] where they list petitions that have been received, and it tracks petitions' path through the parliamentary process. I see that every URL that starts with "petition" has been blacklisted to avoid Wikipedia being used as driving traffic to a petition site. This is of course different; it only gets a listing once a petition has been delivered (i.e. after the petition itself has closed). I was trying to add (https://) petitions.parliament.nz/73f7fa6f-3b63-499a-7cdd-08dcb057b576 to a [[User:Schwede66/Sandbox|draft article in my sandbox]] (I'm writing this in user space as it needs an external review before it can get published as I have a COI).

Actually the question asked was "How are these reliable sources?". |

|||
The data has been referenced in the article [[UnitedHealth Group]] and the graph [[:File:Claim_denial_rates_by_insurance_company.webp]]. While the data is somewhat misleading due to only representing [[Affordable Care Act]] (ACA) [[Health insurance marketplace|marketplace]] plans, it is likely the most easily accessible source for claim denials for private companies. Both the data and the chart is already on the UHG page without a citation. '''[[User:Johnkinslow]] ([[User talk:Johnkinslow|talk]])''' 07:19, 23 December 2024 (UTC) |

:Guy did bring up a good point. I am concerned about [[WP:LINKVIO]]. Some of the material has obviously had its copyright expire ([[Lewin Bentham Bowring]] died in 1910. The American Civil War ended in 1865. Those items have [http://copyright.cornell.edu/resources/publicdomain.cfm expired copyrights]). The problem is with certain articles that still appear to be copyrighted, such as those by [[Peter Hofschröer]], [[George Gush]] and others. There is no indication on those pages that these people have released their works into the public domain. Are you able to provide evidence that they have allowed your site to host their material?

commonpurpose.org.uk is the website of registered UK charity [[:Common Purpose UK]] and it seems reasonable to extlink to this website in that article.

:Yep, the article is poor. Common Purpose UK is a new organisation to me and I'm not pro or against it. But there seems to be vociferous lobbies against Common Purpose UK, two of whom the article extlinks to. One of the current extlinks says on its front page says "Common Purpose is a Bilderberg-type group for upper and middle management implementing the Agenda 21, sustainable development and Communitarian policies of the New World Order and is being used to form a New World Order control grid in the UK." If we have extlinks like that, I think we should permit some balance with an extlink to the charity itself. This is a substantial registered charity with a turnover of about £7 million a year, run by extremely substantial trustees (eg major business leaders, a Bishop), (see commonpurpose.org.uk/about/governance) warranting reasonable coverage in WP. The content of commonpurpose.org.uk does not seem objectionable in any way, so it seems very strange we should block extlinks to it.

(note, this ([[WP:COI|COI]]) IP is, next to massive spamming, involved in said cleaning, with [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Common_Purpose_UK&diff=prev&oldid=209725550 removing] an external link because the website linked to contains texts that this editor disagrees with ("Unfortunately states "Common Purpose is a criminal organisation". Accusation of criminal activity would incur legal challenges - safer to remove."), while the wording of the link itself is neutral ("[http://www.eutruth.org.uk/cp.pdf A Critique without CP Marketing Propaganda]"). Then they make the link less neutral by doing [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Common_Purpose_UK&diff=prev&oldid=214389658 this], so it reads "[http://www.eutruth.org.uk/cp.pdf A Critique by UKIP fringe group EUTruth]" .. the former is a problem that CommonPurpose has with the eutruth.org.uk site, not with Wikipedia, while in the latter edit I could see that that wording would be problematic for Wikipedia) |
|||
The (globally) blacklisted regex is \bcommonpurpose\.org\b, which also catches commonpurpose.org.uk. <s>The former of the two (the .org) was spammed quite aggressively, the .uk is 'collateral damage'.</s> Both were spammed aggressively. |
|||
Nonetheless, what I meant, Rwendland, is that Common Purpose is actively promoting their organisation on Wikipedia. Though I agree that Common Purpose UK 'deserves' a link to their organisation, that is just part of the problem. Any link we whitelist here, can be used throughout en.wikipedia. If we whitelist the mainpage, [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Training_and_development&diff=198213962&oldid=197431586 this] is again possible, or worse. |
|||
I would not consider the spamming/promotional campaign to be over. Maybe we should whitelist a specific about.php or index.htm in this case? --[[User:Beetstra|Dirk Beetstra]] <sup>[[User_Talk:Beetstra|<span style="color:#0000FF;">T</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Beetstra|<span style="color:#0000FF;">C</span>]]</sup> 08:17, 26 April 2010 (UTC) |

:If I understand the situation correctly from the above, only one IP user (a Common Purpose UK IP) has been involved in this spamming of commonpurpose.org* (in about 12 edits)? Doesn't [[:Wikipedia:Spam blacklist]] say in such a case blocking the single user is the appropriate action to solve the problem? Since this all happened in 2008, isn't the appropriate measure now to step-down action to the XLinkBot as per suggested at [[:Wikipedia:Spam blacklist]] and [[:User:XLinkBot]]? As I understand it COI issues should be resolved ultimately by blocking the user; I cannot see in [[:WP:COI]] where it says COI issues will be extending it into blocking URLs on the SPAM blacklists. [[User:Rwendland|Rwendland]] ([[User talk:Rwendland|talk]]) 20:06, 26 April 2010 (UTC) |
|||
:NB I noticed that the existing whitelist already allows www.commonpurpose.org.uk/home/aboutus.aspx, so I've used that as an Official website URL. That's good enough for my immediate need. But it still seems to me that this URL should move to XLinkBot, as I read the current policy. [[User:Rwendland|Rwendland]] ([[User talk:Rwendland|talk]]) 21:03, 26 April 2010 (UTC) |
|||
::Beetstra, have you read the www.eutruth.org.uk/cp.pdf document you criticised the COI IP user for removing links to? I just have. Two unsubstantiated quotes, clearly unfounded, are "Common Purpose specifically targets children from the age of 13, and more recently age 4, for sex or ..." and "A typical story is a husband describing the decline in his wife from the time she becomes a Common Purpose graduate. Loss of sparkle, enthusiasm, anxious and ‘changed’, and she initiated a divorce." It seems to me perfectly proper for such a link to be removed from WP, even if the IP comes from the organisation concerned. (NB you have left links to this doc above.) [[User:Rwendland|Rwendland]] ([[User talk:Rwendland|talk]]) 13:57, 27 April 2010 (UTC) |
|||
:Rwendland, as I explained, the issue was not commonpurpose.org.uk only, the issue was commonpurpose.org, the .uk site was indeed spammed on a lesser scale, but both are related to the same organisation (and were in fact spammed by the same COI IP). The issue was cross-wiki and hence blocking the IP (especially in 2008) was not a solution (that option was unavailable in 2008), XLinkBot would only have done en.wikipedia (and actually has, as it is (or maybe was) on XLinkBot's revertlist). There are ''several'' warnings, 2 of XLinkBot and a some of other editors on en.wikipedia (which shows persistence), the link was already blacklisted on other wikis (then and still on pt.wikipedia, now also on pt.wikiquote), there are [[WT:WPSPAM]] discussions about it. So at that time, global blacklisting the link was the only solution. Also note that there is a second editor involved in this, who, by editing, has shown to be using the IP in question. |
|||
:Secondly, I am not opposing whitelisting, I was only mentioning to be careful with it (though I think that the COI editor knows what the problem is, and will probably not repeat this). --[[User:Beetstra|Dirk Beetstra]] <sup>[[User_Talk:Beetstra|<span style="color:#0000FF;">T</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Beetstra|<span style="color:#0000FF;">C</span>]]</sup> 09:10, 29 April 2010 (UTC) |

===biarmia.narod.ru=== |

I have edited [[Murmansk_Railway]] because there had been a mistake regarding the length of the line and, as well, a misleading wording about the facts who has built it (not only German POWs). Now I would like to add two references from a very good and serious Russian website: (1) biarmia.narod.ru/library/doc/zh_d.html and (2) biarmia.narod.ru/img/1943/1943.html. Unfortunately I am not allowed, probably because any Russian website seems to be blocked.

:What makes this a [[WP:RS|reliable source]]? [[User:Stifle|Stifle]] ([[User talk:Stifle|talk]]) 18:15, 7 May 2010 (UTC) |
|||
::Oh, to be honest, if I take all that rules then one might possibly say, that they're not reliable because they are simply private and do not have any scientific background - although they are the best website on history of the Kola peninsula that I know. I work a lot on geographics of northern Russia and in particular Kola (Biarmia is an old name for the Kola peninsula) and I have very often found helpful information and particularly charts on that website, because they have a complete sample (the best I have ever found on the internet) of historical charts from the mediaval age up to now. And many people on the internet seem to set links to that website, because they have a Google Page Rank of 5/10. |
|||
::One of the charts is the one of the Murmansk Railway. And it says that the length of the railway is 1,448 kilometers. Yesterday I came from Murmansk to Saint Peterburg by that train and afterwards I was sure that Wikipedia was wrong when telling me that the length is 1,068 kilometers long. It is even impossible because the direct distance between 60° N and 68° 55' N is already 990 kilometers, but there are many lakes to be circumnavigated (one is Lake Ladoga, the largest lake in Europe). Also I found a German article cited by the official German arctic research institute AWI (awi.de), saying that the railway is 1,451 kilometers long (see: epic.awi.de/Publications/Polarforsch1940_2_2.pdf p.2). So why should I have any doubt that my reference, which is the chart and not the website should not be unreliable? |
|||
::The other reference from the same website (my first link of the two) is telling that Russia began to built the railway with russian workers and later changed more and more to POWs. This information can also be found in a German book written by the historian Dr. Reinhard Nachtigal from the university of Freiburg in 2001. You can read a summary (telling exactly that fact) here: www.eisenbahn-webkatalog.de/news/index.php?newsid=184 - unfortunately in German and just as a summary on the website of a book seller, which is not a citeable source. Nevertheless this book is the reference for the German wikipedia article. So the reliability of the information is without any doubt. That's the reason why I find the Russian website reliable in this particular point as well. By the way: The author of that Russian article is Ivan Ushakov, Doctor of Historical Sciences, Professor of Murmansk State Pedagogical University, member of Russian Academy of Pedagogical and Social Sciences (tinyurl.com/34nthkg). |
|||
::So, again I ask you for whitelisting the Russian website or the two documents. [[Special:Contributions/87.185.242.205|87.185.242.205]] ([[User talk:87.185.242.205|talk]]) 20:28, 7 May 2010 (UTC) |

===lenr-canr.org=== |

The site lenr-canr.org has a lax approach to copyright and was blacklisted for this and other abuses. Some links were whitelisted mainly at the request of [[user:Abd]]. Following the usual process of editorial debate and consensus only one of those remained in article space as of today, and I just removed it as it is an article copyright of Elsevier Publishing for which we already have a DOI link. Abd is now topic-banned from cold fusion. There are several regex expressions in the list which support the several requested links mainly as part of his project to rewrite the article in terms more favourable to the pro-cold fusion editors, but it's hard to see how that's actually going to be of any benefit as the three main advocates of this content, Abd, Jed Rothewell and Pcarbonn, are all indefinitely topic banned. The fact that the only link in mainspace was a copyright violation says it all, really. I think we should simply remove these links and discuss again as and when a good-faith editor requests them for some actual content, hopefully without the befuddling walls of text which characterised the earlier discussions. <b>[[User Talk:JzG|Guy]]</b> <small>([[User:JzG/help|Help!]])</small> 22:57, 7 January 2010 (UTC) |

1st of all, please don't de-list the transcript of the radio interview. |
|||
2nd, Jed (the website's owner) says that he got the permission of the authors of the text, which seems to be correct and true. ''However'', looking at the copyright pages of the journals that published the papers, some say that the authors can only host copies in their own personal websites, while others reserve all rights. |
|||
3rd, I understand that in several occasions Jed has taken papers down when requested by its publisher, which seems to imply that he didn't have previous publisher permission for some of the papers, and that those papers only remained there because the publishers have not bothered to complain about them. This could perfectly be the case for several of the whitelisted papers. |
|||
4th, they were claimed as convenience copies of article sources, but they are not being used as sources anywhere due to strong disagreements in talk pages with other editors (like myself). |
|||
5th, and most importantly, ''those are all primary sources that were going to be used to counter the points made by secondary sources, aka original research''. The secondary sources say that this sort of papers has been ignored by the majority of scientific community since the field was discredited long time ago (~1989). The intention was adding these primary sources to the article, then claim them as examples that the secondary sources are wrong, and list them as examples of what the scientists really thought of the developments in the field. --[[User:Enric Naval|Enric Naval]] ([[User talk:Enric Naval|talk]]) 14:50, 15 January 2010 (UTC) |

I was unable to format this so as to fit in the left column where x-wiki links normally go. This, as well as a similar list for other local blacklists ([[MediaWiki talk:Spam-blacklist|on our blacklist's talk page]]) may be useful information. --<font face="Futura">[[User:A. B.|A.

The Spam-whitelist page is used in conjunction with the Mediawiki SpamBlacklist extension, and lists strings of text that override Meta's blacklist and the local spam-blacklist. Any administrator can edit the spam whitelist. Please post comments to the appropriate section below: Proposed additions (web pages to unblock), Proposed removals (sites to reblock), or Troubleshooting and problems; read the messageboxes at the top of each section for an explanation. See also MediaWiki talk:Spam-blacklist.
Please enter your requests at the bottom of the Proposed additions to Whitelist section and not at the very bottom of the page. Sign your requests with four tildes: ~~~~
Also in your request, please include the following:
- The link that you want whitelisted in the section title, like === example.com/help/index.php === .
- The Wikipedia page on which you want to use the link
- An explanation why it would be useful to the encyclopedia article proper
- If the site you're requesting is listed at /Common requests, please include confirmation that you have read the reason why requests regarding the site are commonly denied and that you still desire to proceed with your request
Important: You must provide a full link to the specific web page you want to be whitelisted (leave out the http:// from the front; otherwise you will not be able to save your edit to this page). Requests quoting only a domain (i.e. ending in .com or similar with nothing after the / character) are likely to be denied. If you wish to have a site fully unblocked please visit the relevant section of MediaWiki talk:Spam-blacklist.
Note: Do not request links to be whitelisted where you can reasonably suspect that the material you want to link to is in violation of copyright (see WP:LINKVIO). Such requests will likely be summarily rejected.
There is no automated notification system in place for the results of requests, and you will not be notified when your request has a response. You should therefore add this page to your personal watch list, to your notifications through the subscribe feature, or check back here every few days to see if there is any progress on it; in particular, you should check whether administrators have raised any additional queries or expressed any concerns about the request, as failure to reply to these promptly will generally result in the request being denied.
Completed requests are archived, additions and removal are logged. →snippet for logging: {{/request|1267631662#section_name}}
Note that requests from new or unregistered users are not usually considered.
Admins: Use seth's tool to search the spamlists.

If you have a source that you would like to add to the spam-whitelist, but you are uncertain that it meets Wikipedia's guideline on reliability, please ask for opinions on the Reliable sources noticeboard, to confirm that it does meet that guideline, before submitting your whitelisting request here. In your request, link to the confirming discussion on that noticeboard.
Likewise, if you have an external link that you are uncertain meets Wikipedia's guideline on external links, please get confirmation on the External links noticeboard before submitting your whitelisting request here.
If your whitelist request falls under one of these two categories, the admins will be more willing to have the source whitelisted if you can achieve consensus at one of the above noticeboards.
Add new entries at the bottom of this page. Completed requests will be marked with an appropriate Indicator then archived.
If the above information is not provided, expect your request to be declined. PLEASE ADD NEW ENTRIES TO THE BOTTOM OF THE LIST PLEASE SIGN YOUR ENTRY WITH FOUR TILDES: ~~~~ |

The link in the Official website template at the bottom of the InfoWars article contains a link to infowars/contributors, which currently does not exist. I'd appreciate it if someone replaces that link with /about, which does exist. While the /about page isn't exactly the most neutral thing out there, it's definitely more neutral than most of the content on that website and isn't unnaceptably problematic in my view. Nythar (💬-🍀) 06:14, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
Declined for now. I'd say let's hold off for a few months. The site is in flux since theonion.com acquired it, and it is going to be shut down and resurrected in 2025. Let's see what they do with it first. In the meantime, we could probably whitelist an archived page, like the contributors page that no longer exists. ~Anachronist (talk) 06:26, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

www.change.org/p/a-call-for-justin-welby-to-resign
Hi, I would like to request the petition on change.org for the resignation of Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury, to be whitelisted. I'd like to use the link on Makin Review which I have just created, and add it to Archbishop of Canterbury and Justin Welby. The creation of a petition calling for an archbishop's resignation was extremely notable, especially as (1) it was started by three clergymen in his province, (2) it received widespread coverage in many reputable media outlets, and (3) he did resign just a few days later. Being able to reference it directly will (in my view) improve Wikipedia. I am aware that change.org is listed under common requests to be denied, but in this instance, I believe it is an exceptional situation. This petition was closely associated with a significant event that was without precedent and will be studied for many years to come. The page on change.org includes the creators' reasons why they felt Welby should resign and so it is highly relevant to understanding this historic event. Hence I believe it should be allowed. If the link is whitelisted, I will also add some secondary sources about the petition to confirm its notability. SmilingFace (talk) 20:31, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
- @SmilingFace: Declined Wikipedia is not an advocacy venue, as linking to an active petition would inevitably be (I'm not claiming that's what you're trying to do, I'm claiming it's what the effect would be). If you have secondary sources describing the petition's significance, you can just link to those instead. * Pppery * it has begun... 20:55, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
- Hi, This is not about advocacy. Whilst the petition is technically still active, it is no longer relevant as Welby has said he will resign. This news is so notable that it is still on the front page of Wikipedia, despite it being 5 days old now! I have added some secondary sources referencing the petition, but none contain the text of what the petition's creators actually wrote, which is historically significant in a digital age. So being able to link it will improve our articles about this important event. It's a bit like linking to one of Donald Trump's tweets, which are similarly of historic significance and allowed. Please can you reconsider. SmilingFace (talk) 21:42, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
- Again, Declined. If none of the sources referencing the petition found the actual text in it important enough to quote, why should Wikipedia make the opposite editorial judgment? We shouldn't need to link to Trump's tweets either, especially when they are widely quoted. The fact that we do link to them is a reason to remove them, not a reason to compound the problem with similar links to petition. ~Anachronist (talk) 16:28, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

I'm adding citations and references to the article on Derrick Collier, and there is a statement about Collier's relationship with Freddie Mills and their appearance on "This is Your Life".
The pages I'm after are a description of the episode, and a picture, which clearly shows Collier with Mills.

This is the website of the New Zealand Parliament where they list petitions that have been received, and it tracks petitions' path through the parliamentary process. I see that every URL that starts with "petition" has been blacklisted to avoid Wikipedia being used as driving traffic to a petition site. This is of course different; it only gets a listing once a petition has been delivered (i.e. after the petition itself has closed). I was trying to add (https://) petitions.parliament.nz/73f7fa6f-3b63-499a-7cdd-08dcb057b576 to a draft article in my sandbox (I'm writing this in user space as it needs an external review before it can get published as I have a COI).
