Talk:Oozlum bird

Latest comment: 10 years ago by Cyberbot II in topic Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page

This is a plea to people to please stop deleting and editing out anything to do with the Ouzelum bird. The Ouzelum is a recognized variation of the Oozlum, and since typing the phrase 'ouzelum bird' into Wiki's Search immediately redirects to this page, it is worth noting it at least briefly so that people don't get confused. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Teamdudette (talkcontribs)

  • OK. Have your extra sentence. My objection was the linking of the slightly different description to a different spelling as though such a distiction could be made. -- RHaworth 09:14, 3 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Oh dear... edit

I have a kind of feeling that this article is a spoof...Colin4C (talk) 20:09, 6 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

  • I can attest that it is not a spoof, but a genuine comic myth for amusement. The oozlum bird is as real as a unicorn. odea (talk) 02:34, 3 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Description edit

Memory suggests that a UK version, possibly in "The Navy Lark", contained something rather like "... the fabled Oozlum bird, which flies around [? at ever-increasing speed ?] in ever-(decreasing|diminishing) circles until it [? finally ?] vanishes up its own fundament.". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.163.24.100 (talk) 14:09, 18 January 2009 (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:
