Talk:Genesis II (space habitat)

Phishing link. edit

I removed a link because of the below warning from one of my installed internet security applications. There are three situations in which this happened:

1) Direct link through from Wikipedia.

2) Google search on www.science-sainte-rose.net and clicking on the link to that website.

3) Google search for "first lychee in space" finding a non-Wikipedia link to the link replicated in this Wikipedia article. All resulted in this warning:

_____________________

WARNING Adguard has blocked access to this page

This web page at www.science-sainte-rose.net, has been reported as a phishing page and has been blocked based on your security preferences.

Adguard has found that this page may be a forgery or imitation of another website, designed to trick users into sharing personal or financial information. Entering any personal information on this page may result in identity theft or other abuse.

_______________________

Now Adguard may be wrong but it is well regarded and is a fork of the well known AdBlock+ and is designed for the security aware browser Opera.

I think better safe than sorry, what is more important; retaining a link to trivial information (the 'First Lychee in Space') or removing a link flagged by a third party security program as a phishing site?

FINALLY, the link in question appears to refer to a member of the faculty of the university on Reunion Island. However, the actual current and valid address of that faculty is: http://ufr-sante.univ-reunion.fr/ which different from the link in this article.
