I had not until now witnessed the Blacklist process on Wikipedia/MediaWiki. I saw it applied by you to the Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) article recently; with army-technology.com being tagged twice as 'unreliable source?' via the website's appearance on the Blacklist ('#\barmy-technology\.com\b' at MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist); with Berenice Baker being the author of one of the pieces thus labelled.
At that point I was basically just curious what you found, directly or indirectly, lacking with the author or the website. I was also curious how the seemingly vast blacklist was compiled, name by name; I hadn't yet found a real 'qualitative process' description. But then I found where new additions are proposed and discussed here; and in fact the April, 2015, archived discussion that led to the blacklisting of the army-tech site among many in a group called cbronline.com all labeled as spammers.
So for now I've accepted the concept and this specific instance of blacklisting; not having judged the process in detail but accepting that others have at least looked at it seriously (and now seeing how it resembles other Wiki systems I'm more familiar with); and seeing that there's a reversal-of-blacklist proposal process if anyone wishes to undertake such. Moreover, the WP:BLACKLIST link in the Edit summary of your edit did give me the basic tool to find my way into the above-traced thread; though I'm not sure if every reader would be inclined to persist to this degree. Maybe I'll consider looking at that thread-line; to see if I can make it a little easier to follow for the casual reader who, say, wonders about the 'unreliable' tag.
Meanwhile I've decided preserve my thread of investigation here in case I or someone else is inclined to look further at some point. I hope you don't mind. You are doing considerable editing around this Blacklist. If you care to comment here I'd of course be interested and more light maybe could be shed for others. Thanks and cheers.
