Whitelisted link removed

Greetings, Werieth. You removed the link, "biblewalks.com/Sites/StAndrews.html" from the Ketef Hinnom article on Dec 22, 2012. Although "biblewalks.com" is blacklisted, the specific page was, in fact, whitelisted on Jan. 17, 2011 on the grounds that ...Wikipedia will benefit because it provides links to firsthand, original photos....

1. Why did you delete the biblewalk-StAndrews link from the Ketef Hinnom article?

2. I would like to add the specific page, "biblewalks.com/Sites/ElahValleyRomanRoad.html" as a reference in Highway 38 (Israel) on the same grounds as above (regarding photos). I made a whitelist request on December 9, 2012. How can I expedite my request? Kind regards, --@Efrat (talk) 14:37, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

sorry I missed the whitelisting. Werieth (talk) 23:35, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

Any advice as to my second question? Can you help or point me in the right direction? --@Efrat (talk) 05:22, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

Re: your recent edits - You altered the URLs of several references in this article. There seem to be two issues with these changes. Previously, some of these URLs had pointed to specific pages, now they are generic links to the entire book. For instance, Ref#1's URL is now "http://books.google.com/?id=XbgjAQAAMAAJ" which is a link to the entire book, the previous URL was "http://books.google.com/books?id=XbgjAQAAMAAJ&pg=RA4-PA125#v=onepage&q&f=false" which points to Page 125 in the book which is where the information is cited from.
Also, you changed Ref #5 from "http://books.google.com/books?id=v_6ao_OuZbIC&pg=PA277#v=onepage&q&f=false" to "http://books.google.com/?id=v_6ao_OuZbIC&pg=PA277". When the new Ref#5 is verified, it changes back to the original "http://books.google.com/books?id=v_6ao_OuZbIC&pg=PA277#v=onepage&q&f=false", so I am wondering what your rationale was for changing it in this fashion and also what your rationale was for altering the other URLs from page-specific to book-generic.

I missed the page number in the first URL, In general Google throws a lot of crap into their URLs that are unneeded and that are used by them to track users. I tend to remove the cruft as unneeded. If you want an example I can grab a few for your. Werieth (talk) 19:52, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Oh, yeah, I know that Google Books can fluff up their URLs with lots of junk (no need for examples heh), I was just thinking that both those URLs work as posted and are specific pointers to the cited pages. Shearonink (talk) 20:04, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Even their loaded links work the same way, I just missed the new page pointer format that they are using now, I try to trim them to a minimum to keep pages sane. Werieth (talk) 21:19, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Heh, so, we're both right?... Shearonink (talk) 04:32, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

Looks that way :P Werieth (talk) 19:16, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

The Cleveland Show Characters should have own pages.

I think that The Cleveland Show characters should have their own pages and be on their character table. I don't think that ZoonyWoony or I were vandalising anything. I was just editing a page.

Policy states otherwise, those pages where merged into the list for a reason. Werieth (talk) 01:29, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

Edits

You do not seem ever to leave edit summaries, which you should, especially as your edits often involve a large number of bytes. You also appear to be changing the citation style of articles without prior discussion, which is against policy - see WP:CITEVAR. Please do not do this without proposing it on the talk page first.
