This is an independent magazine article featuring pictures contributed by the subject of the article. The article features info on her career beginnings that I wish to feature in Sisi Superstar.
This is also my first time submitting one of these requests, so apologies in advance if I missed anything :) Cornmazes (talk) 03:41, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

It was linked in a mass message [1] (they can apparently override the blacklist?). It's on many user talk pages where it prevents manual archiving. It was reported at Wikipedia:Help desk#Cannot archive posts from talk page due to blacklist warning. PrimeHunter (talk) 01:16, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
- Declined I don't think this is worth adding an whitelist entry to at this point - archivebots can also bypass the blacklist the spam blacklist and there's only three instances left on live talk pages, two of which are by long-inactive users. * Pppery * it has begun... 21:57, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

I'd like to use these as sources in Draft:Chompi - they have information that, while primary, is still useful to the article and isn't available elsewhere. Suntooooth, it/he (talk/contribs) 18:26, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
- The first link looks reasonable to whitelist to me. I'm inclined to decline the other two, as the fact that it funded in under one minute seems like promotional trivia, and the third is "This post is for backers only" so I can't evaluate it. * Pppery * it has begun... 23:43, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
- Understandable for the second one; the third one is a post from December 13, 2023, stating that Chompi units started shipping on that day. It's not essential to the article though, so if that's considered trivia and the link can't be whitelisted it's not a big deal. You said that the first one is reasonable to whitelist; has it been whitelisted yet? /gq Suntooooth, it/he (talk/contribs) 23:07, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
- For the third link, you kind of have a point that just the title and date of the post support the date they started shipping, but I'm still going to err on the side of caution and mark it as Declined. And no, I was waiting for you to reply before taking admin action, so the first one hasn't bee added yet, but I've Added it to MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist now. * Pppery * it has begun... 23:56, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

ZoomInfo FAQs

I'd like to link to this specific page (the FAQs) within the ZoomInfo website from the ZoomInfo page. Specifically, the new Controversies section would benefit from being able to use this specific page to illustrate how ZoomInfo captures your contact info -- and those of all your email contacts -- and publishes it in ZoomInfo's database to then sell to its customers. That is, it would be nice to be able to show that this morally questionable practice is essentially admitted to by ZoomInfo themselves on the FAQs page of their own website. For now, I've left the reference in the ZoomInfo page but inserted a "xxxx" in the middle of the URL as a placeholder. I'll remove that placeholder when this request is approved (or delete the whole citation if not approved). I've also added a citation to a secondary source that describes what can be found at that FAQ link (https://old.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/hmaanz/zoominfo_data_collection_notice/g6jhtk7/). ~~Phatmattt12188~~ (Please note that this is my first time posting here. Hopefully I'm doing this correctly. Please let me know if I need to change anything or if this is the improper place for what I'm trying to accomplish on the ZoomInfo#Controversies page.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Phatmatt12188 (talk • contribs) 17:17, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
- Declined That link 404s for me. Neither Reddit nor primary sources are generally useful bases for the content of an article anyway. * Pppery * it has begun... 23:38, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

I am interested in the article on Karishhma Mago, as it will help in establishing her blockchain journey. As to becoming a crypto expert. I would like to use it as a reference in two sections of the draft.--Afí-afeti (talk) 09:47, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

Review with rating of the album The Black Light by The Ting Tings to be referenced on the album's page:
- The album's page contains less than 10 rated reviews as the album recieved less media atention than the band's previous albums, so any review with rating would be useful for context and additional information
- Agregators like https://www.albumoftheyear.org/album/118954-the-ting-tings-the-black-light.php consider northerntransmissions as music critics website
- There are exeptions for northerntransmissions available in MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist

- Declined For whitelisting, you'll need to identify a specific link to white list. You'll also need to state a reason for whitelisting, which is quite unlikely given the history here. Sam Kuru (talk) 12:23, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
- And you (Geeta443/whatever account shows up next) will have to get your original account unblocked and start contributing constructively to the encyclopedia. No one is going to assist a block evader so they can continue spamming. MrOllie (talk) 13:38, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

- @Cyprus76: Everybodywiki is a user-generated source and so cannot be cited, so it would be pointless to grant this request. However, if you do find the content of that page useful, good news! It's actually copied from enwiki, specifically Draft:You are an idiot (Malware). In a second I'll undelete that page and history-merge it into your draft. Then you'll have that content right there in the page history. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (they|xe) 23:48, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

This is a photographer's project with several interesting portraits of scientists, which would to my mind be useful references on wikipedia, e.g for physicists like John Ellis and Jack Steinberger. The "moving mind" portraits for those two are WLRequestLink above, but there are others as well in the same domain. --SKraml (talk) 13:41, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
- This looks like collateral damage from blocking about.com on the meta blacklilst. The domain passionate-about.com is not associated, and isn't blacklisted. I'd like another regular admin here to comment on whether we should whitelist the whole passionate-about.com here, or on meta. ~Anachronist (talk) 15:31, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
