Request to whitelist page on newsroom.transunion.co.za

I want to add new information to the TransUnion article, however "transunion" is blacklisted, but I need to reference transunion's own website. UfoTheUfo (talk) 16:03, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@UfoTheUfo: While I hold no position or power over the whitelist/blacklist, and thus you may freely ignore my advice, I suspect that you will need to prove that newsroom.transunion.co.za is an official TransUnion site. I mention this as it appears that it was blacklisted due to it being a fraudulent domain intentionally made to look similar to the real one. I hope this helps.

@The Ghost of Art Toys Past: Hmm, that's odd because TransUnion's official website lists it UfoTheUfo (talk)
@UfoTheUfo: I suspect that link will help you convince anyone with position/power here, but I could be wrong. Either way, I am happy to see that it was easy for you to prove it was official. Best of luck with your whitelist request! The Ghost of Art Toys Past (talk) 06:22, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Request to whitelist theamericanreporter.com

theamericanreporter.com should be white listed because it is needed for references, it also has a wikipedia article already American Reporter the link i want to whitelist is Link requested to be whitelisted: www.theamericanreporter.com/american-singer-ericteehee-kick-starts-his-journey-towards-success

no Declined - this is an amateur SEO/PR blog that is pretending to be a news site, and globally blacklisted as a result. It has nothing to do with the other news site, which went defunct seven years ago. This one appears to be a part of the California Herald PR farm, just like the other link you added (seekerstime). If you paid for this PR, you should ask for a refund. You IP range is likely to be disabled if you continue to add obvious promotional material and junk sources, and make attempts to circumvent the spam black list by using URL shorteners. Thanks.

Request to whitelist aerorozvidka.xyz

An Ukrainian drone voluntary organization and military unit at the same time that has the own Wikipedia article about them (Aerorozvidka) and is backed up by multiple sources. From the error message that came out after the edit attempt looks like it is blacklisted just due presence of the .xyz domain suffix that maybe is common for links we do not want to be here, but in this case seems just a domain suffix.

Request to whitelist page on kickstarter.com

This is the official Kickstarter for the game Poppy Playtime, as evidenced by this PopHorror article. I wish to use this source as to add information about the Kickstarter and its cancellation. Jurta talk 21:01, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Request to whitelist youtu.be/48AW49O7TBo

Every other result I could find to support the item I was adding to PT-109 about the mention of JFK's experience aboard the vessel was a link Wikipedia regards as even less worthy. For example, I could have put an IMDb link about the episode, or there were blog posts. The YouTube link goes to a full episode of the show where a person can see independently the segment described, and it's the best option I have for backing up the statement about the mention on the show. (Note: apologies in advance if I added this in an incorrect fashion; I'm using my phone and the methods for adding a request were unclear on here.)

 Not done. "youtu.be" is a URL shortener. Just use the full link ("youtube.com/watch?v=48AW49O7TBo") and it should be fine. Kuru (talk) 22:50, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Request to whitelist kickstarter.com/projects/dragonsteel/surprise-four-secret-novels-by-brandon-sanderson

I wanted to add a citation on List of highest-funded crowdfunding projects to the project Surprise! Four Secret Novels by Brandon Sanderson, which just ended. Other Kickstarter projects on that page have similar citations (for example, Pebble Time, Coolest Cooler, Frosthaven, Shroud of the Avatar, and Kingdom Death: Monster), but apparently such links need to be whitelisted individually.

www.kickstarter.com/projects/spectrumnext/zx-spectrum-next-issue-2/posts/3364778

  • Why: While the computer is being developed, technical details are being supplied in Kickstarter updates. At some point in the future (perhaps mid-2023, when the computer is likely to be delivered at last) they'll be complete, finalised, and published on its own web site... But for now, this is the authoritative and AFAICT only source of details. If the update pages aren't whitelisted then several statements in the article will be uncitable. Uncitationed?.. Citationless!
