Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page

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 its 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:

Resolved This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.—cyberbot II ^Notify_Online 07:30, 29 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

East and West African Slave Migration

I think they're reversed. Somebody take a looksee. Thankee.Longinus876 (talk) 15:06, 12 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Persecution

Maybe someone can research the topic of persecution of lepers. For instance, during the Black Death, lepers and others with skin diseases were singled out and exterminated throughout Europe.

"Gotum the Budon"

It should go without saying but obviously we should WP:USEENGLISH WP:COMMON names of people and things: The page is at Gautama Buddha for a reason. Similarly, no, of course you can't take 5th century works as the earliest records for something by pretending it's entirely accurate 8th century BC knowledge that had been meticulously passed down up until that point. — LlywelynII 21:59, 10 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WP:ERA

This edit established the usage of the page as BC/AD. Kindly maintain it consistently pending a consensus to change it. — LlywelynII 09:51, 11 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sources for future article expansion

There's also more available on ancient and medieval treatments in the Snell source provided. — LlywelynII 22:37, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Include the work of Jacinto Convit

Hi, pretty much just what the title says. I was wondering why his work is not included in relation to leprosy vaccines. Expandingresearch (talk) 04:14, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
