Persistent spamming from IP editors, not responsive to talk page warnings. - MrOllie ( talk) 12:34, 10 June 2023 (UTC)
This site was block-listed a decade ago due to a link-spamming issue. Near as I can tell, that is no longer a problem and discussion of Northern Transmissions as a reliable source on WT:ALBUM considers it a good source to use for album reviews. The site does not contain malware or any other issues that would make it dangerous for viewers, so I'm not seeing a reason to keep it block-listed. See Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_390#Northern_Transmissions and Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Albums/Archive_67#Proposed_reliable_sources_for_Wikipedia:WikiProject_Albums/Sources. ― Justin (koavf)❤ T☮ C☺ M☯ 14:22, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
This website is still being blacklisted as I have tried again today to add a reference. Should I wait some time or what can I do? Thanks for any help. Richard Nowell ( talk) 09:35, 15 June 2023 (UTC)
This website features audio clips of UK and Irish radio stations and is a good source for references of station openings and for when presenters were at specific stations. I am puzzled as to why such a useful resource is blacklisted and would request its removal from the Wikipedia blacklist. Rillington ( talk) 01:38, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

A rough count found c200 articles using this as a reference. The site is a commercial marketplace for chemicals and reagents but show no evidence of any editorial oversight. This appears to me to be the very definition of link spam. In addition the site appears to breach violate copyright by constructing its content from other sources as for example at Photographic film, this reference is a direct copy vio from this 1977 paper by Meredith and from a 1968 book by Meredith here. Any source that itself contains copyright violations cannot, in my view, be an acceptable source for Wikipedia. In all cases that I have searched there are readily available RSs for the information referenced with nearly all available at PubChem, much of whose content has simply been "borrowed" by chemicalbook.com. There are c 193 articles citing this as a reliable source. I have raised this at WT:RSN. Velella Velella Talk 13:13, 23 June 2023 (UTC)

Posting to use tge “make my life easy” script. Courcelles ( talk) 05:08, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
This is a domain squatter, which usurps domains and breaks dead links. There are currently 602 articles containing links to this domain, which are added by well-meaning bots and scripts because they don't understand if a link actually works or just redirects them to a useless garbage page. I don't think editors intentionally spam links to hugedomains, but maybe if they can be technically prevented from adding links to it, fewer of our links will get broken before people have a chance to find an archive or an alternative source or somehow deal healthily with the link rot. I've never made a request here before, but this feels nonstandard, so I'm placing this edit here instead of the above section, in the hopes that I can be educated if this is actually a terrible idea.

Hi, Please replace content of this page with User:Ladsgroup/MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist and content of MediaWiki:BlockedExternalDomains.json with User:Ladsgroup/MediaWiki:BlockedExternalDomains.json. That would make editing faster for everyone and generally easier to maintain. I explained more in Special:Diff/1160884499 Ladsgroup overleg 20:35, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
Mainly because it is based upon the Gale Encyclopedia. I understand they use advertising, but this is not in itself a reason to blacklist serious encyclopedias. tgeorgescu ( talk) 22:16, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
