cpu-galaxy.at: User:Peter1912 and a whole bunch of his sockpuppet anonymous IP addresses based in Austria repeatedly add links to his personal hobby site to any and all articles about Intel processors. Peter1912 and associated IPs were warned, but warnings are ignored (possibly because the IPs are different each time, but Peter1912 has logged in a few times so must have certainly seen the warnings). Every few days the user comes back from a different IP and re-adds the link with identical descriptive text.
Evidence is compiled at Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of Peter1912. Clicking on any IP address in the top section of that page will show the contributions (the bottom section contains IPs that have received a sockpuppet tag plus a warning).

Not done this does not seem an essential site and the spamming was quite prolific using multiple IPs -- Herby talk thyme 08:11, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
The site "Circle of Ancient Iranian Studies" looks like a typical academic site. I was looking for an article describing possible concepts shared between Zoroastrianism and ancient Judaism for a background sentence in a Zoroastrian section I just added to Religion and homosexuality, and the content generally matched my impression of at least one POV about what is generally believed (though I'm out of my field here). In short I see nothing even slightly spammy about the site. The local blacklist contains no string "cais" at all; the global blacklist includes only a site www.bcais-soas.com - I have no idea why my link is tripping the blacklist at all, actually, but perhaps there's some bug in the code that ignores an extra prefix character??? The message was "The following link has triggered our spam protection filter: http:*/www.cais-soas.com" (no "b"). 70.15.116.59 21:00, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

I can't see why this site was blacklisted in the first place, it would be useful to have some explanation. Anyway it is the only site that has pictures relevant to a story on Pius Ncube and Google images don't blacklist the site. Dbdb ( talk) 14:15, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
Please remove allhostinginfo.com from blacklist. This site contains useful information about web hosting, interesting web hosting polls, articles and more. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.112.168.226 ( talk) 13:55, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
I'm placing this here so that there is some form of on wiki record for the removal of this website from the blacklist. User:Mercury removed the site with this edit citing OTRS ticket number 2007120510014806. It appear that the community will have to make do with that. I imagine that there is some promise not to place future links or removing the listing would be very odd - I would suggest that we watch for any new links carefully. I will use this section as the edit summary for removing the item from the log so it can be seen for future reference & will inform Mercury of this.
Done by Mercury -- Herby talk thyme 19:56, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

It appears that this site was never blocked because of spamming, but apparently for the reason that it's "not as useful" as TV.com. That's not a good enough reason, and it's not even true! I'm trying to cite tvrage in this article because TV.com doesn't have an article on that show while tvrage does. Yes, the owner of tvrage.com was incivil here but that's no reason to prevent all Wikipedia editors from referencing his web site. Waggers ( talk) 13:09, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
(remove indent)It's extremely frustrating that this discussion is only beginning now I've removed the item from the blacklist. I'll relist it for the time being based on the arguments above, but I must admit I fail to understand many of the arguments. It's clear that there's some history here, but very little of it seems relevant to why upstanding Wikipedians can't reference this site. Rather than linking to previous discussions (most of which end in "we'll do nothing for now and see what happens later" type responses), and lists of abusive users who may or may not be something to do with the site itself, it would be helpful to have a simple list of reasons why the site should be on the blacklist. As for the recent assertion about notability - since when did notability have to apply to external websites? WP:N is about the subject of articles, and I have no intention of starting an article on tvrage.com - I just want to reference it in The General (TV series) without the {{ cite web}} template being mucked up because of an apparently ill-reasoned blacklisting. Waggers ( talk) 22:31, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
Everything on the site is factually correct, and it nicely counteracts the totally positive nature of the article on firefox. I suspect that many wikipedia admins are opensource fanboys, linux fanboys and/or firefox fanboys. And I think this is the only reason FFM has been blacklisted. FFM should be added to the firefox article. There is not one word of negative criticism in the FF article (c.f. internet explorer), I suspect the FF article is written by Fanboys. I'm not arguing with anyone about it, this is a simple test of wikipedia open-source neutrality, firefox needs this link or a criticism section.

Not done this does not seem an essential site and the spamming was quite prolific using multiple IPs -- Herby talk thyme 08:11, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
The site "Circle of Ancient Iranian Studies" looks like a typical academic site. I was looking for an article describing possible concepts shared between Zoroastrianism and ancient Judaism for a background sentence in a Zoroastrian section I just added to Religion and homosexuality, and the content generally matched my impression of at least one POV about what is generally believed (though I'm out of my field here). In short I see nothing even slightly spammy about the site. The local blacklist contains no string "cais" at all; the global blacklist includes only a site www.bcais-soas.com - I have no idea why my link is tripping the blacklist at all, actually, but perhaps there's some bug in the code that ignores an extra prefix character??? The message was "The following link has triggered our spam protection filter: http:*/www.cais-soas.com" (no "b"). 70.15.116.59 21:00, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
This has been appealed a number of times. No good reasons to remove have been given and established editors have understood the problem - Not done -- Herby talk thyme 08:12, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
I'd like freelancer.com.ar to be removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.127.47.3 ( talk) 17:57, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
Hello. This (non comercial) website allow users to create on-line maps and graphics. And I think it's important to wikipedia users see it on external links of a few articles related to that subjects. Can it be removed from the blacklist, please? It is not spam nor promotion of any service or products. Thanks in advance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.63.65.214 ( talk) 09:43, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
Meta Blacklisting should be implimeted due to cross wiki spam pattern;

I can't see why this site was blacklisted in the first place, it would be useful to have some explanation. Anyway it is the only site that has pictures relevant to a story on Pius Ncube and Google images don't blacklist the site. Dbdb ( talk) 14:15, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
Please remove allhostinginfo.com from blacklist. This site contains useful information about web hosting, interesting web hosting polls, articles and more. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.112.168.226 ( talk) 13:55, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
I'm placing this here so that there is some form of on wiki record for the removal of this website from the blacklist. User:Mercury removed the site with this edit citing OTRS ticket number 2007120510014806. It appear that the community will have to make do with that. I imagine that there is some promise not to place future links or removing the listing would be very odd - I would suggest that we watch for any new links carefully. I will use this section as the edit summary for removing the item from the log so it can be seen for future reference & will inform Mercury of this.
Done by Mercury -- Herby talk thyme 19:56, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
Beat me to it. :) Thanks for your hard work Herby. Regards, Mercury 03:28, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
It appears that this site was never blocked because of spamming, but apparently for the reason that it's "not as useful" as TV.com. That's not a good enough reason, and it's not even true! I'm trying to cite tvrage in this article because TV.com doesn't have an article on that show while tvrage does. Yes, the owner of tvrage.com was incivil here but that's no reason to prevent all Wikipedia editors from referencing his web site. Waggers ( talk) 13:09, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
(remove indent)It's extremely frustrating that this discussion is only beginning now I've removed the item from the blacklist. I'll relist it for the time being based on the arguments above, but I must admit I fail to understand many of the arguments. It's clear that there's some history here, but very little of it seems relevant to why upstanding Wikipedians can't reference this site. Rather than linking to previous discussions (most of which end in "we'll do nothing for now and see what happens later" type responses), and lists of abusive users who may or may not be something to do with the site itself, it would be helpful to have a simple list of reasons why the site should be on the blacklist. As for the recent assertion about notability - since when did notability have to apply to external websites? WP:N is about the subject of articles, and I have no intention of starting an article on tvrage.com - I just want to reference it in The General (TV series) without the {{ cite web}} template being mucked up because of an apparently ill-reasoned blacklisting. Waggers ( talk) 22:31, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
Everything on the site is factually correct, and it nicely counteracts the totally positive nature of the article on firefox. I suspect that many wikipedia admins are opensource fanboys, linux fanboys and/or firefox fanboys. And I think this is the only reason FFM has been blacklisted. FFM should be added to the firefox article. There is not one word of negative criticism in the FF article (c.f. internet explorer), I suspect the FF article is written by Fanboys. I'm not arguing with anyone about it, this is a simple test of wikipedia open-source neutrality, firefox needs this link or a criticism section.

Why is this blacklisted? It stops me from editing User:Lupin/alltalk, which is irritating. It appears to be a reasonably harmless reference website. Lupin| talk| popups 08:07, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
