Testing to see if the MBFC bot now correctly recognizes bbc.co.uk. It’s been a problem before.

    BBC - News Source Context (Click to view Full Report)

    Information for BBC:

    Wiki: reliable - BBC is a British publicly funded broadcaster. It is considered generally reliable. This includes BBC News, BBC documentaries, and the BBC History site (on BBC Online). However, this excludes BBC projects that incorporate user-generated content (such as h2g2 and the BBC Domesday Project) and BBC publications with reduced editorial oversight (such as Collective). Statements of opinion should conform to the corresponding guideline.

      So it is working for bbc.co.uk but it’s doubling up if the domain is mentioned more than once.

        And the mods are doubling down on something they’ve lied about being unable to remove

          It’s not a lie to say the mods cannot personally remove the bot. We don’t have that level of control.

            Last time I tried arguing semantics like that, my middle school principal gave me detention. Rooki said you need only say the word and it’ll be removed.

              That doesn’t change the fact that Rooki or another Admin are the ones who have to disable it.

              We can REQUEST it be removed, we can’t remove, or apply, it ourselves.

        I got this:

        do { reviewStuff(url) } While(articleLinkCount < 1)

        Problem solved.

          Yeah, we fixed it already. Obviously not retroactive.
