Why are Zenodo links blocked on Wikipedia when Academia.edu links are allowed? This is an extremely valuable resource that should not be completely blocked. Rather, we should blocked specific Zenodo links that are known to be copyrighted, but not the entire website. This is the equivalent of blocking all of YouTube since some (but not all) videos are copyrighted. — Stevey7788 (talk) 18:54, 7 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

@Stevey7788: in what sense "blocked"? Also, this talk page is for discussing ways to improve the Zenodo article. If your question is, instead, about WP:BLACKLIST, then please see that page for advice about how to request alterations to the blacklist. Thanks, Zazpot (talk) 09:41, 8 November 2018 (UTC)Reply
In the sense of MediaWiki_talk:Spam-blacklist#zenodo.org. Stevey7788 has since asked at User_talk:JzG#Zenodo where there is some additional discussion. The Zenodo article is affected in that it contains links to Zenodo which are currently blocked as well (temporarily, I assume). Nemo 10:49, 8 November 2018 (UTC)Reply
If you believe that a link should not be on the blacklist, the appropriate avenue is to ask for its removal as explained above. It should be a credible discussion about the value of the link and predominantly how it would be used as a reliable source. Making a comparison to another site's linking would not normally carry weight in that discussion. Saying it is extremely valuable is an opinion, not a demonstration of its value. — billinghurst sDrewth 20:28, 28 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
