Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Sitewide links are not the ideal, even if their are good. I suppose the links in the good blogs are from a blogroll in sidebar, and that location for a link may sound suspect. Said that, I would maintain them at first,  concentrate in cleaning the toxic links you have detected, do a reconsideration request (and eventually uploading a disavow). Just in the case the penalization is not quit, then I will consider the idea of asking the blogs to move the link from a sitewide situation to an editorial one (maybe creating a page: "The site we like", which should not be just a list of links but also give an explication why the blogs like those sites. That would be helpful also for the sites themselves, because they will get rid of any suspect of manipulative link building from their side.

Should you also include multi-langauge descriptions in your single Google+ page?
