Untitled

I've moved the "Kennedy Road, Eastern Cape" entry to redirect to "Kennedy Road, Durban" because, well, both this particular Kennedy Road, and Durban in general, aren't in the Eastern Cape, but in KwaZulu-Natal.

I took out the preceding sentence as it was so obviously POV--Kr4ft (talk) 06:59, 26 January 2009 (UTC) "The Kennedy Road settlement has been terrorized for years by the racist, violent and often outrightly criminal policing of the notorious Supt. Glen Nayager of the Sydenham Police Station. His activities have extended to having himself filmed while torturing members of the community.^[1] perhaps you could write it a bit dirfferentely....ie no notoriously.(that word itself means your local and hold a viewpoint).....--Kr4ft (talk) 07:01, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

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 it's 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:
