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:

Wrong: can openers use wheel with serrated edges in order to pierce

"Most non-electrical can openers today use the hand-cranked rotary version consisting of a wheel with serrated edges in order to pierce and cut the top of tin cans."

is incorrect,

The Star used a crank turning a wheel with serrated edges in order rotate the edge of the can with the pivoting lever pressing the cutting wheel against the outside of the can cylinder.

Most 21st Century non-electrical can openers used a crank turning a wheel with serrated edges (to grip and turn) and is fused with a cogwheel which rotates a cogwheel fused with a cutting wheel which presses against and penetrates the can top.

Check the patents.
