Long, long term spamming, involving clear COI accounts, and many 'SPA'-like accounts:
Note: The IPs are less clear, some are 'SPA' (but on a volatile IP that does not say too much - they may have hopped to a new IP). There are in the COIBot report many other IPs who added the link, many seem to have a 'music / film focus' in their edits, but it is unclear whether they are beloning here. Same here, there may be IPs which are accidentally SPA on a page which link them to this. Note also that a lot of the IPs here, and in the COIBot report, have deleted edits, which sometimes snowball to other SPA accounts (some are incorporated below), for the IPs it is difficult to see whether it is accidental or whether they are part of this.
Note, all these accounts are somewhere in their edits linking to dazeddigital.com (or SPAs on articles where others relate them to dazeddigital.com), and many seem to be only editing their 'own' article. This reeks like impersonating sockpuppetry. Much of the content is still there, and seems to have been adopted properly. But it feels wrong.

There are also legal issues, including criminal ones. Take a look at "User:Meepsheep/The_Bieber_Facebook_Project" on encyclopediadramatica.ch (ed.ch for short) for an example. We have impersonation, fraudulent promises, and publication of private information and photos belonging to children 13 years old and younger. This "Meepsheep" person is also a sysop and content manager on ed.ch. Social Security numbers have also been posted to one article. Combine this with the other concerns. encyclopediadramatica.com is on the meta spamlist already, so why not include a website that tries to duplicate the original. The original ED and ed.ch had and do target Wikipedians. Perhaps we should only allow links to the ed.ch Main_Page like we did to encyclopediadramatica.com? -- Michaeldsuarez ( talk) 15:58, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
Hey guys, this is Meepsheep (the one listed above). First off, I would appreciate it if you did not speak so negatively of my work. Each and every one of those kids deserves to be on that page. Second, I would like you to show me where ED encourages attacks on Wikipedia. Sure there is documentation of vandals (such as myself) but we do not encourage personal attacks. If you do find any instances of this, post it here and I will deal with it properly as I am the caretaker of the Wikipedia portal. -- MS ED.CH ( talk) 05:57, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
Links to ed.ch should not be blocked. It's telling that the russian wikipedia's article on encyclopediadramatica has a link to .ch and there is no controversy on the subject, whereas the site www.lurkmoarpedia.ru (the russian equivalent of ed) is constantly being put up for deletion as "not notable". We need to put aside any person beef we have with the site or it's users, and focus on making the article a valuable source of information. -- 852derek852 ( talk) 08:51, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
I would like to note some new info that has come up in regards to the matter. First off, in terms of the Meta blacklist, it can be seen that Wnt is easily the most vocal of the two opposers to the addition of ed.ch to the blacklist. It has since been discovered that he is [http:// encyclopediadramatica.ch/User:Wnt very involved] in terms of the site and thus, his vote should be taken with the caution it deserves.
Secondly, in terms of editing at the Encyclopedia Dramatica article, I got into a dispute with User:H644444 about two days ago. About 15 minutes after that dispute occurred, [http:// encyclopediadramatica.ch/Silver_Seren this page] was created on ed.ch about me by [http:// encyclopediadramatica.ch/User:H64 User H64]. I think we can all see the connection here. Furthermore, this user appears to be one of the ten admins on that site, which brings into question that we are likely to have a meatpuppetry event going on and any new users (in terms of being new accounts) that comment here or at Meta in opposition to adding this link are potential ed.ch members that are working together for their own ends.
Lastly, I would like to point out that last time I checked, which was immediately before submitting this, the URL www.encyclopediadramatica.com is still on the spam blacklist. Obviously, the reasons for why it was added were valid and it should be equally obvious that, if so many people are saying that ed.ch is the same as ED and has the same content, then the same reasons would apply to it, if not even more so due to reasons partially pointed out in the discussion above. Silver seren C 07:06, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
It's been two months and nothing has been happening on Meta. The last reply to the Meta section was on May 14th and nothing has been done. There have been two attempts in the past day to add a direct link to the .ch site. I fear that .ch users may be gearing up for another push on the article to include a direct link, now that we have enough reliable sources that it is feasible to say the existence of the fork in the article itself. What should be done here? Silver seren C 07:29, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

timstvshowcase.com likely fails WP:ELNO as it appears to be a fansite that basically just recaps a show and has links to various sites (including Wikipedia) and DVD info. The link was initally added by Hoosiertim (who may have a possible COI based on the site's name and the user name) back in early April. After being warned for spamming by Ckatz and myself, 50.90.98.177 began adding the site to various television show articles again. Neither Hoosiertim nor the IP have done anything in the article space except to add this link. IP and named account are likely the same person based on the way the link is added (no asterick is used and both users place the link above all others). IP was given a final warning today but given the history, I don't think the warning will be heeded. Pinkadelica ♣ 23:58, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

IP and named account are likely the same person based on the way the link is added (no asterick is used and both users place the link above all others). IP was given a final warning today but given the history, I don't think the warning will be heeded. Pinkadelica ♣ 23:58, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

Site being mass-added to numerous articles. For diffs of spamming, see User:H2okatcher's contributions, especially those occuring on July 6. Some of the other edits appear to be minor corrections, but any edits that introduce content of any kind involve this website. - SudoGhost ™ 17:10, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

Not done I can't imagine what purpose the link would serve in any article, as it doesn't meet WP:Reliable sources guidelines. Wikipedia is not a travel planner. OhNoitsJamie Talk 16:04, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
Infibeam.com is an electronic commerce company based in India that has been blacklisted for reference link inclusion in Wikipedia articles. Infibeam has emerged as one of the major brands in the Indian ecommerce Industry and has been blacklisted due to promotional attempts by previous employees. It would be great if the global audience gets to know about the company that made India's first eBook Reader or the company that has emerged as one of the top 5 digital brands in India. Kindly remove the site from your Blacklists or let me know how this can be done.

The guy/girl have a point: Israel's biggest internet provider is Netvision. All of netvision's IPs begins with either 217 or 89, so yeah, it DOES look like just another anti-Israeli thing. What YOU are doing is inappropriate, and I'm very disappointed with Wikipedia's editors. ~ Emil, Jerusalem
This was previously on the Arabic Wikipedia blacklist (I requested a removal and it has been removed). I'm not sure why it was listed in the first place (my theory is that it is blocked as it is a Batthist website and some De-Ba'athification minded people didn't like it) but please remove it as I want to use it as a reference in the Great Mosque of al-Nuri (Mosul) article.-- Aa2-2004 ( talk) 09:15, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

15:01, 30 June 2011 (UTC)I would like to see this site removed from this list. It is the world's largest Online resource for information on Camp X and it belongs to the world's leading expert and largest collector on the subject. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dtcraig ( talk • contribs) 19:24, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
Nationmaster.com has a reasonable wikipedia article about it
NationMaster.
It has a favourable rating on mywot.com [
[13]].
It would be useful as a source to which citation references can be attributed across various articles.
Why was it blacklisted?

Fair enough. Its good to know the reason for the black-listing.
Are the reasons for black-listing kept in a list somewhere, or is it left as knowledge-in-the-head.
I tried searching, before proposing, but I couldn't find any discussion on it.
