[edit] external links

"Wikipedia has a policy that AOL and Comcast web site links cannot be included here" actually that is not true. There is, however an automated script, User:Shadowbot, that automatically removes such linsk because they are very often spam. I ahve blocked this script (bot) from operating for 24 hours, and asked the programmer to fix the issue. DES ^(talk) 07:40, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
Here are the comments by the editor who created the script (robot or "bot") that was reverting the links:
- Thank you. I didn't realize that the bot was still reverting the links, as I explicitly told it to whitelist the site. I'm going to find out why the bot ignored the whitelist. Shadow1 (talk) 14:03, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
- Ok, it turns out that the bot would evaluate whether the rule is on the blacklist BEFORE the whitelist, which caused the bot to revert even though I told it not to. I've fixed the problem and unblocked the bot. If it bothers the article again, let me know. Shadow1 (talk) 20:09, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
You should now be able to have the links to the valids sites remain unmolested. if there is a probelm in future, and "Shadowbot" reverts valids links, noify User:Shadow1 as he request. Also feel free to notify me, or any admin. The Admin's incidents page is a good place to brign things to admin attention. DES ^(talk) 19:13, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
