Blacklisted Links Found on Open Data Now[edit]

Cyberbot II has detected links on Open Data Now which have been added to the blacklist, either globally or locally. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed or are highly inappropriate for Wikipedia. The addition will be logged at one of these locations: local or global If you believe the specific link should be exempt from the blacklist, you may request that it is white-listed. Alternatively, you may request that the link is removed from or altered on the blacklist locally or globally. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. Please do not remove the tag until the issue is resolved. You may set the invisible parameter to "true" whilst requests to white-list are being processed. Should you require any help with this process, please ask at the help desk.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

I discussed this on the whitelist page. I proposed re-examining the website in 2018 when perhaps it is better established as a source, or otherwise confirmed as less reliable. Blue Rasberry (talk) 18:15, 3 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Remove notice about excessive "plot"[edit]

At Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not#PLOT there is the guidance that Wikipedia should not have excessive coverage of plotlines.

In the case of this work, as with many textbooks and non-fiction works, each chapter often covers different topics.

The summary here now is 1-3 sentences per chapter. The idea is to describe the concepts covered by the book. I hope it is not excessive but Wikipedia does not have clear policy on what to do, and the warning template itself is designed with fiction in mind. I am removing the warning for now, but would discuss more either here or on a policy page if someone wanted to clarify what is appropriate with me.
