[edit] the lawsuit

In re: the removal of information pertaining to the pending litigation over Playboy's use of a likeness of Colleen Shannon, from User talk:H Bruthzoo,

Good evening, while I agree that in the broad scope of things, a legal battle in which Colleen Shannon is not personally participating may seem trivial, however, 1) she is not a major celebrity and does not have any substantial news or acheivements to overshadow it, 2) it's not necessarily a battle for only $750, as nowhere is it indicated that that is the amount for which Playboy is being sued, and 3) if "trivia" pertaining to the details of her foot tattoo is viable for the article, I don't see how a federal lawsuit pertaining to her image could be considered too "trivial" for inclusion.

Perhaps it's something to be commented upon by a third party. I seek others' opinions on the talk page. LeSaint 06:58, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

If it can be reliably sourced, put the info in. Dismas|^(talk) 08:11, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

• I do have reliable sourcing on the matter. At what point is it deemed acceptable to revert the removal of the section? LeSaint 02:34, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] modelsobserver.com links

This and other Wikipedias in other languages have been relentlessly spammed by anonymous IPs based in Israel (where the domain is registered) for many months. It's gotten sufficiently bad as to warrant addition to the spam blacklist and I have removed a number of these links in anticipation of blacklisting:

• Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Spam#modelsobserver.com (permanent link)
• meta:Talk:Spam blacklist#modelsobserver.com (permanent link)

Most, but not all, had been added by the site-owner.

If an established, high-volume editor sees value to the specific link I deleted from this article, please let me know and it can be evaluated for addition to the spam "whitelist"
