Can someone please explain why this is important? I've been running websites since 1993 and know perfectly well how the HTTP protocol works. I know what a referer is and what typical webserver logfiles look like. The referer URL is in there. If it is a Wikipedia URL, why is that bad? What is the problem we are trying to solve here? Please describe the scenario where this can be harmful.
perverted-justice.com is redirecting all hits referred from Wikipedia to an attack page. Nevertheless they're notable and their URL should be in their article.
