|text = Warning: An automated filter has identified that your edit includes a link or reference running through a local proxy – typically, the links include '.proxy.', '.gate.', 'ebsco', 'oclc' or similar in the domain. Such links only work inside the institution that is providing the proxy (sometimes even only in your current login session). The link is (often completely) useless for anyone who does not have access to the proxy of the institution that you are in.

NOTE: you will NOT be able to save this edit if you do not resolve the issue with the proxy link that you added in your edit.

Please replace the proxy links with direct links that do not use a proxy. Thanks!

  • aa.bb.cc.proxy.xx.yy.zz - a local proxy appended to the domain-name of the original publisher:
  • 'https://www.oxfordartonline.com.proxy.lib.duke.edu/' should be replaced by 'http://www.oxfordartonline.com/'
  • aa-bb-cc-dd.xx.yy.oclc.org - oclc.org proxy, where the dots in the original domainname are replaced with a dash:
  • 'https://www-ncbi-nlm-nih-gov.ucsf.idm.oclc.org/' should be replaced by 'www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/'
  • ebscohost, e.g. https://eds.a.ebscohost.com/ehost/pdfviewer/pdfviewer?...., https://web.a.ebscohost.com/abstract?.....
  • You can link to https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?AN= (the ebsco 'permanent link' to the record), the access number is sometimes visible in other ebsco links (the number after 'AN='), or available from the ebsco page that you are visiting.
