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 19:08, 9 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Redirects for project names

So, tonight, I got on my stool looking for some memories, and just happened to search Wikipedia for the term "Combat Sent". Rather than giving me a red-link and telling me "Page does not exist", I got a redirect to this page about the RC-135. I realize one of the variants is called Combat Sent by project name, but there is a lot more to that project than just the aircraft specs. Why does any reference to a project of any kind automatically redirect to this article? The Big Safari article doesn't redirect. I'd imagine several of the projects have enough published information to allow for notability here and have their own articles... I don't understand. @BilCat:, I'm guessing you are the most likely to know the answer to my question. Thoughts? — TadgStirkland⁴⁰¹ (Tadg^Talk) 21:24, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Primarily because it's a merged article, and they aren't supposed to be deleted for attribution reasons. There wasn't much unique content before it was merged, as can be seen here. (Note that there was only one paragraph - the rest of the page is a transclusion of another article. It looks weird, but it wasn't that way when it was merged.) - BilCat (talk) 06:08, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Corporate speak

Like many military system pages, the intro to this page suffered from weird corporate speak that is not appropriate for an encyclopedia. (It also generally suggests that the language has been copied, but that's neither here nor there.) I've minorly re-worded the introduction from "support theater and national level intelligence consumers" to "produce theater and national level intelligence" since "support" and "intelligence consumers" are unnecessarily vague and mealy mouthed. Likewise, a page on doctors would say they "treat patients", or "practice medicine", not that they "support medical consumers". The point is not that these two different wording are identical, the point is that both are true but one will be much more understandable than the other. If there are important additional details, I encourage other editors to add it in, either here or in the main body. Jess_Riedel (talk) 17:40, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Could "theatre" wiki-link to what definition is being used here? As someone unfamiliar with the subject that would be useful Sock-the-guy (talk) 17:42, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
