Re: [Wikimedia-l] Getting Wikipedia whitelisted for Twitter DMs
I can ask around, but I've not heard of them even having a whitelist for this situation - do we know for a fact that's the case?

Thank you. Some URLs go though, others do not. I doubt it's random ;-) On 3 August 2014 17:06, Luis Villa lvi...@wikimedia.org wrote: I can ask around, but I've not heard of them even having a whitelist for this situation - do we know for a fact that's the case?

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Getting Wikipedia whitelisted for Twitter DMs
Everything I had seen suggests that no URLs go through, but a little Googling suggests that there is a whitelist: http://thenextweb.com/twitter/2013/11/04/handy-hacks-sending-links-via-twitters-direct-message/ That said, every other source I can find mentioning a whitelist points back at that same article - no one seems to have independently confirmed that. So I'll poke some folks but don't hold your breath :) Luis On Sun, Aug 3, 2014 at 9:54 AM, Andy Mabbett a...@pigsonthewing.org.uk wrote: Thank you. Some URLs go though, others do not.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Getting Wikipedia whitelisted for Twitter DMs
Only twitter and Facebook links go thru DMs. I think if several people file a support ticket for this we may achieve something. Else get Jimbo to send a mail to the Twitter folks. Problem would be solved in no time. :) On Aug 3, 2014 10:52 PM, Luis Villa lvi...@wikimedia.org wrote: Everything I had seen suggests that no URLs go through, but a little Googling suggests that there is a whitelist: http://thenextweb.com/twitter/2013/11/04/handy-hacks-sending-links-via-twitters-direct-message/ That said, every other source I can find mentioning a whitelist points back at that same article - no one seems to have independently confirmed that.
