Link used by prolific sock (here and on fa Wikipedia and Wikidata) see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Mghghoffic/Archive for history. As the link has no use for anyone as a personal site hopefully it it's backlisted that will finally stop them from wasting our time at AfC and SPI.

After collecting warnings on Knowledgecrafter227, has now moved on to sock puppet accounts to avoid scrutiny, including 3 in the last day. - MrOllie ( talk) 14:18, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
Should we update this .su ccTLD name from .name domain? -- 49.150.112.127 ( talk) 13:30, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
See here. It looks like it was banned due to being part of a paid-editing setup; without getting into the details, I'm not sure that's still relevant. The link I want to add is /a-correction-on-housing-regulation
on that domain; I want to add it to
YIMBY as it's an important addendum to Hsieh and Moretti on the costs of land-use regulation.

Redirects to site qadrishattari.xyz that was blacklisted in May 2021. Blogspot link had already been spammed in the past (see my report here from December 2020). Some diffs from July/September 2021: Special:Diff/1028154482, Special:Diff/1033792134, Special:Diff/1033966694. – NJD-DE ( talk) 18:29, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
Multiple spam by this user despite four warnings. I would even recommend global blacklist as nothing of value would be lost. Veverve ( talk) 21:58, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

everybodywiki.com seems to be scraping wikipedia including possibly drafts. I've noticed them a few times now used in AfC articles. A quick search showed only one, now-removed, use in mainspace but seeing as this will never be a reliable source should it be blacklisted? Slywriter ( talk) 15:22, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

Spammers should have been range blocked instead of blacklisting the whole website. I suggest using edit filter to prevent utm_source=Wikipedia or seeding. The website was founded and edited by Anupama Chopra who have won National Film Award for Best Book on Cinema, another National Award winning film critic Baradwaj Rangan regularly write reviews in the site. So their reviews are much valued nationwide and the site has reputation.-- The Doom Patrol ( talk) 14:44, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
I wasn't certain if to propose to the global blacklist or here, there appears to also be cross-refspam. Thanks, — Paleo Neonate – 18:21, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
