Arachnologists[edit]

I have no idea who Rick West is, but this should very probably be replaced by a list of important arachnologists, now and then. --Sarefo 01:43, 27 July 2006 (UTC) The equipment they use is there eyes and there sense of smell so they can observe the arachnids. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.96.26.118 (talk) 23:53, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page[edit]

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

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

If you would like me to provide more information on the talk page, contact User:Cyberpower678 and ask him to program me with more info.

Added several arachnological societies - do I need to add a source?[edit]

I just added 13 more scientific arachnological societies to that section. (and 2 tarantula societies) Do I need to cite my sources for these? I assumed not, since they can be located with simple searches, but I thought I should ask, since I am new to editing. My main sources for these additions were pages from the International Society of Arachnology and British Society of Arachnology websites, but I also verified most of them by going to their official pages. I do not yet know how to cite sources on the Wiki pages, but if they should be added, I can search out the instructions. Please provide feedback. Thanks. --The Spider Chick (talk) 09:52, 22 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
