spammed by SPA
incl. spamming into unrelated topics [1], and after final warning. GermanJoe ( talk) 03:41, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
The following domains are among those being promoted, mostly concatenated site addresses with "." removed, so I don't know if they can be blacklisted as such:
Mostly the work of one guy as far as I can tell. Originally started spamming this site as Rohith Kilari, but then started socking as Abhay Ram. I've indeffed both, but considering he's now socking, it might be wise to consider the blacklist. Site is typical cookie-cutter Indian entertainment nothingness. From their [www.tollyspice.com/p/started-in-february-2016-tollyspice.html About us page], "Started in February 2016, TollySpice delivers quality film updates." Obviously if it was started last month it couldn't possibly be considered a reliable published source with an established reputation for fact-checking, etc. Advertising seems to be the only motive for adding links at Wikipedia. As of this report, I've removed all of the links from the English Wikipedia. Cyphoidbomb ( talk) 03:10, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
Another brand new user, Prasanth KC ( talk · contribs · logs), has begun adding tollyspice to articles and in talk page requests [2] [3]. I'll run the user through CU at SPI, but I think it's time to blacklist this site. Cyphoidbomb ( talk) 16:34, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
A spam link that was added to several pages by sockpuppet accounts and IPs (see: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Hemantwps). The IP ranges are too large to block. Vanjagenije (talk) 10:10, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
This link has been repeatedly spammed by IPs despite multiple warnings. Blocking the IPs won't help because the spammer is IP-hopping. Page protection won't help because each link addition is to a different page. Deli nk ( talk) 11:27, 17 April 2016 (UTC)

Either a sockdrawer or multiple users spamming copyvio text and links to a commercial gallery into art articles. Having to delete for copyvios, including an entire article. Strongly suspect the additions are WP:CITESPAM. Have warned both accounts and will probably block them shortly. - CorbieV ☊ ☼ 18:27, 4 May 2016 (UTC)

Not a reliable source for anything, just raw spam. Jytdog ( talk) 16:37, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
Appears to not have been updated two years, infected with ransomware. Was used in 6 articles, I have removed the site from all six at enwp. Questionable as a reliable source anyway, but risk of it being used and accidentally either randoming (or infecting, I didn't test every page for vulnerabilities) is higher than it's dubious utility. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 21:42, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
Site is not a reliable source for anything and all this account has done is to spam this link into ELs of mostly random articles. Please blacklist. Thanks. Jytdog ( talk) 07:30, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

Website says that is just scrapes USDA database and is being spammed into WP by SPA who does only that here. Less data than USDA databases themselves and not necessarily reliable; nothing useful about this source for WP. Jytdog ( talk) 09:29, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
These two links have been spammed by a series of Indian IPs. Some IPs have spammed both, some have spammed just of them. Deli nk ( talk) 10:32, 5 June 2016 (UTC)
All these sites are owned by the same person/company, which matches the username. These are not sites we would ever cite or use as a useful EL.

This is a mirror address of [48] (main domain), A personal, nationalistic and pseudo-scientific website/blog related to Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/Tirgil34. I don't know if the main domain is in blacklist or not, but users still can use the mirror domain links in WP articles, an example. The long-term abuser and his related accounts plagued many articles and talk pages with the content of that website. Also, the nationalist spammer revealed why he uses WP (as a battleground, to promote his POVs). [49], [50] -- Wario-Man ( talk) 05:20, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
