:I loaded it with adblock on and adblock off (Firefox on Debian) -- there are ads on it but I don't think there's anything beyond that. If carrying advertisements qualifies something to be [[WP:ELNO]], I think we might have a bigger problem, to wit: http://nytimes.com might need to go on the blacklist. As for ELNO11, I'm not sure what is supposed to make it a blog, other than the fact that it's a webpage hosted on blogspot, which isn't covered by any perennial sources list as far as I know. I think that restrictions on external links make a lot of sense vis-a-vis potentially introducing bias into many subjects that articles get written about, but ''version numbers and packages for database software''? Is there any possible way that this could be biased? It's either correct or it isn't. (And if a respected, notable SQL expert wrote a curl script to scrape this page every day and FTP upload it to a prestigious website that wasn't on blogspot, would the information become more trustworthy?)

::{{re|Jacob Gotts}} I think ELNO-11:<blockquote>[[Blog]]s, [[personal web page]]s and most [[fansite]]s (negative ones included), except those written by a [[Wikipedia:Verifiability|recognized authority]]. (This exception for blogs, etc., controlled by recognized authorities is meant to be very limited; as a minimum standard, recognized authorities who are individuals always meet [[Wikipedia:Notability (people)|Wikipedia's notability criteria for people]].)</blockquote> is clear on precluding this link, unless an argument is made for the author being a "recognized authority". Maybe there should be an exception to the guidelines, but that is a discussion for the guideline itself.--[[User:Astral Leap|Astral Leap]] ([[User talk:Astral Leap|talk]]) 09:47, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
