Why is it doing this?, there's no link in the passage.

Happy editing-~~~~Īnd each time, it gave me the spam blacklist message. I have now tried three times to add the following comment to User talk:Baylinkĭon't worry about it, it was my mistake, i copy and pasted the link from the talk page, but accidentally picked the wrong one. Does it really make sense to freeze all changes to a discussion page until someone removes a blocked URL? What are we supposed to do? wait for the original editor to remove the link? stop using the discussion page? go altering other peoples edits? Zebulin ( talk) 03:21, 30 November 2007 (UTC) Whats going on? This worked but when I tried to undo the change (since the URL was someone else's earlier contribution on the page) it wouldn't let me undo the change. I used firefox find to locate the url it was complaining about and tried to remove part of it to make sure that my post wasn't somehow at fault. This started when I was trying to place a comment on an editors talk page and each time I tried to save my comment (which did not contain any URL) the spam filter would block the page save. Whenever I try to undo my edit the spam filter blocks me. The spam filter seems to have put me in the awkward bind of not being able to undo one of my edits. Suggestion: shouldn't the use of tags as a temporary way of bypassing the spamfilter, for when a wiki page is a copyvio of a blacklisted page and the URL needs to be included in the db-copyvio tenplate, be documented on the project page?

That's because these sites are all blatant violations of different magazines' copyrights Wikimedia can't afford to have links to these sites if we can help it. For example, when the domains associated with this discussion all finally get identified, they should probably be blacklisted on meta even if we only find their links only on this wikipedia. Here's another time to blacklist at meta: links to blatant copyright violations. It looks like this procedure is being used to censor material that can easily be found by Google images who incidentally don't blacklist sites. How do I find the reason for a particular site being blacklisted? It is not easy to request removal of the ban if you don't know why it is there.Though I say this without prejudice to modifying it if necessary in the future.
