General nuisance spam...
Evidence of spamming:

Guess who's back? This time, he's trying calling it "CC Pro" to try and escape detection.

He's back...
Any chance of putting wetpaint.com on the link-removal bot list?

Man he does NOT give up:

How about using MediaWiki:Titleblacklist or MediaWiki:Usernameblacklist? MER-C 05:12, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
This spam gets added to articles about academic testing every few days. User contributions was warned here about spamming by administrator User:Hu12 on 13 Feb, but the spamming has continued.
Blocking the IP addresses won't help because (a) the incidents are infrequent; (b) legitimate edits have occurred from those addresses; (c) different IP addresses are involved, although it's primarily 62.3.32.54.

IP user keeps adding these links to this site, which has classic science fiction stories with no indication whatsoever that they are licensed to appear there; when reverted, he/she calls reverting editors "ignorants"!

Wow! Did you even bother to check the links? For instance the Asimov page has links for 2 stories: "Profession" on abelard.com and "Gold" on webscription.net Since when someone should prove he is not guilty? The site is useful for it has more than 400 links to online fiction legally published by tens of websites like gutenberg.org, scifi.com, webscription.net, baen.com, infinityplus.co.uk, strangehorizons.com, authors' own websites, etc. That's why I call those who throw the stone WITHOUT BOTHERING TO CHECK THE ACCUSATIONS FIRST as being ignorants! ( UNSCRAMBLER ( talk) 20:31, 22 February 2008 (UTC))
Multiple IP's (whom I suspect are the same person since they are so similar) and a regular user (who I can't find at the moment) continue adding this site to wrestling related articles even after being warned. Here are some examples: [19], [20], [21]. TJ Spyke 09:32, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
Editor attempting to avoid detection by use of throwaway accounts. See WikiProject Spam report permanent link. I have posted over at WikiProject Computer Science in case an established editor there objects. -- SiobhanHansa 19:21, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
I think this is not a good idea.this site is same as wikipedia.everyone can edit. Maybe some of its content is not good,you can ask the webmaster of this site to remove the content,if you remove it,we can not access this good site again.just like wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bill14341 ( talk • contribs) 07:19, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

This site is a copyright violating Wikipedia remote loader mirror (see Wikipedia:Mirrors_and_forks/Ghi#gov-certificates.co.uk and [22]), and has been for some time, and it has also been spammed on Wikipedia (eg [23]) and even used inadvertently. This site simply has no place on Wikipedia. Perhaps it should be blacklisted at meta. -- zzuuzz (talk) 15:02, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

A real estate company in Tangier. They keep adding their link to the Tangier page from different IP addresses.

Still spamming today with a new IP:
Time to blacklist. -- A. B. (talk) 18:26, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
This site was extensively linked by its owner, Fwdixon ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), and post removal there has been reversion by 71.125.233.201 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) among others. I've blacklisted it for now to prevent further abuse. Can be reviewed in a couple of months, I guess. Guy ( Help!) 15:58, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
has been added to the Craigslist article about once a week or so.
Thanks! -- Rocksanddirt ( talk) 05:48, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
Every edit by 82.211.176.12 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) has been to add either backgammons.artprom.biz or artprom.biz to Backgammon. (The first version of the site is in English, the second in Russian.) -- Steven J. Anderson ( talk) 16:41, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
I am proposing that the URL www.webmasters.am be added to the spam black list. This link is posted anonymously from various IP addresses:
And posted on various topics:
( diff)
These are all links that fall in to the Wikipedia:EL#Links_normally_to_be_avoided category # 11. Usually the edits are made on the same day within minutes of each other.
The user R00m_c ( talk · contribs) has also been active in removing these links. Christopher G Lewis ( talk) 18:47, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
As would be expected, the penis enlargement article gets its share of linkspam. contributions and contributions, for example, have been repeatedly blocked for linkspamming (also see spam blacklist report on User Talk:125.209.115.132). Every so often this user comes back and adds variations of a domain name that contain the string "penisenlargement", such as penisenlargementss.com and penisenlargementy.com.
Example diffs of spam:
I suggest we add a general purpose regexp to this blacklist, something like \bpenis-*enlarge[-A-Za-z0-9]*\.[a-z]{2,4}\b
. That would pre-emptively take care of future "contributions" of linkspam to that article. I'm assuming egrep pattern matching here; not sure what's actually being used.
Keeping in mind the debate below about blogspot, we should of course avoid casting too wide a net. A regexp matching simply "penis" may be a bit too broad, but I think "penisenlarg" is almost guaranteed to be spam. = Axlq ( talk) 06:32, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
Being spammed since December at least by throwaway accounts - so warning messages not particularly useful.

Wide spread mixed spamming of these low value, low membership freely hosted chat forums. I'm not convinced these could ever meet Wikipedias inclusion criteria. Not only are forums Links normally to be avoided, they fail Wikipedias specific requirements of our External Links policy, Verifiability Policy and Reliable Source guidelines.-- Hu12 ( talk) 19:17, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

This is a blog; spamming in favor of this site has stepped up in recent weeks. Examples: [42] by User:Onemigs, [43] by User:Starmometer, [44] by User:Tlkforever ( talk). -- Howard the Duck 14:20, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
(Originally posted this request at meta, but got deferred back here.)
See discussion at:
For comparison to the suite101.com case, which is essentially the same problem:
Most recent discussion at the admin's noticeboard shows a clear consensus to blacklist this site. Essentially, the problem is that anyone is allowed to post their own articles there, with no editorial oversight. Additionally, authors there get paid by the pageview, so there's a clear incentive to spam links to them. At current count, there are 731 links on en.wikipedia, 13 on fr, 7 on de, and I haven't exhausted my searching options yet.
We've dealt with this site in the past, and removing the links just resulted in even more showing up. Once we have this under control, we can deal with removing the existing links. (Likely the only page that we should allow to keep a link there would be Associated Content (and other language versions, of course).) -- Infophile (Talk) (Contribs) 17:55, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
The Perry Bible Fellowship has an interview with the author on the associated content and the page can't be edited until the link is removed. However the link in question is used to support a statement about the comic. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 23:43, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

This is a commercial photography site, with the site owner clearly wanting to sell his photos. This site does not meet the external links guidelines, and he has been told so. Nonetheless, the site owner (presumabely) keeps re-adding the link. I spotted this back in July, when new user Mimopes ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) was adding them. I warned him about this at that time, though he recently blanked my message and continues to spam. [45]
The link has been repeatedly spammed on numerous pages about landmarks, neighborhoods, and places in NYC and DC. He adds the link in a sneaky manner, with a false or misleading edit summary. See here as an example diff of how these links were added. His edit summary was "added architectural landmarks", with the edit including an additional sentence. However, he always also sneaks in his link with the edit (under a false edit summary). That edit was back in July, and I had reverted it then.
This morning I found the link again on a page, and saw the link had been re-added on numerous other pages. Looking at the edit history of that page, I see it was re-added shortly after I took it out, by a new user. (a sock) This time, his edit summary was "notable buldings - grammatical error". In reality, his edit had nothing to do with any grammatical errors or notable buildings. He simply re-added the link and apparently continues to do this as recently as last week. - Czenkaj ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
I took out approximately a dozen of these links today, on various pages about NYC and DC. Since he continues to add the link, do so in a sneaky manner, and will use socks to so, the best course of action is to add the link to the spam blacklist. As an admin, I could add it myself, but an independent admin (whoever maintains this page) should do it. -- Aude ( talk) 17:50, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
Holiday-card related, promotional. At first I thought these links were only being spammed from 61.0.137.*, so I thought a /24 rangeblock might do the trick. However, a link search indicates that the range is wider than that. Activity usually heats up before a holiday ( Easter and Easter bunny in this case). OhNoitsJamie Talk 19:00, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

I had used one of this website's petitions in the article Wizards (film) ( [46]) as a citation for the fact that the petition had gotten the film released on DVD.

When I tried to add a review article about ketsui as reference, I was informed it was a spam site. Last time I checked, it is a legitimate video game review site.

This site was added to the external links on the "Blue Oyster Cult" page, AFTER the official site links. It's a large site, and has been online 5 years. It is an ongoing attempt to document the career of Blue Oyster Cult, and has hundreds of contributors - including current and ex-members of Blue Oyster Cult THEMSELVES and their roadcrew!!
It contains lists of gigs and setlists and reviews completely unavailable anywhere else. The site is unique - it's completely ad-free and no mailing lists are involved. Yet Wiki have blacklisted it as "spam". Needless to say, I disagree, and would like this decision to be reviewed.
The official sites you DO list are by and large pretty useless as founts of BOC knowledge - take the "www.julesradino.com" link you have there - yes, it's "official" but do you come away - after perusing it - with one iota of info on the band? I'll save you the trouble - no, you don't. Have a look at my interview with the BOC drummer at this url:
[Please note, I can't put the actual link here as it won't let me save the page when I do - because of course it is "spam" - please append the following to the url domain mentioned above "/blueskybag/albertbouchard/050212.htm"
The drummer himself said it's the most in-depth interview he's EVER done... it forms the basis for the new section on the site dealing with the band's history from 1967 to 1971 - NOBODY else is doing this. I have tons of emails from visitors who say this is the BEST, most informative BOC site anywhere, yet you say it is SPAM.
Have a look at the BOC history page - for say - 1980 here:
Again, I'm not allowed to put the URL so append the following to the basic site domain: "/history/1980.htm"
This sort of thing is NOT available ANYWHERE else. Yet, apparently, it's SPAM...
By trying to add the link to the Wiki BOC article, I'm attempting to promote a site that not only the average BOC fan will find very useful but also I'm trying to reach the "casual" BOC fans to try and get THEIR contributions to the ongoing BOC story... it's a socially-motivated documentary project - it'll never be complete but along the way, it'll become the most comprehensive encyclopaedic repository of publicly accessible information and opinion on this band that it is possible to get... If that's SPAM to you, then to misquote Dr Seuss, spam I am.....

Vuze.com was added to the blacklist as spam on the articles Vuze, Vuze, Inc., and Azureus, Inc. [68] This is rather nonsensical, as Vuze.com is Vuze Inc., is the company that develops Vuze, and is the new name of Azureus, Inc. We have a domain blacklisted for being used in articles about its owner. It's like blacklisting apple.com for being used on iPod. There seems to have been a handful of attempts to link to a specific video on the service, but we'd have to blacklist half the web if that were the standard. -- Cyrius| ✎ 18:17, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
I have tried to add a link to VBS.TV on the Vice Magazine page, as they are affiliated with the mag. However, the site appears to be blacklisted. I can see that a user VBS.tv has added links to several related pages which have since been reverted, is this the basis for it? If so, I would argue that, although specific content/deep links may not be notable enough to merit inclusion on related pages, the VBS.tv website is significant enough by itself to merit links to the homepage when discussed in relation to Vice Magazine or its impact on IPTV. For that reason, I think it should at least deserve consideration for the whitelist. Thedregs ( talk) 15:14, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Lulu.com is an online self publisher for small authors and I can't figure out why it is blacklisted. The only discussion I found was here, but that didn't indicate any activity one way or the other. We can't reasonably maintain the Lulu article with the link to the company blacklisted and it makes editing articles that have related materials on their site difficult as well. For instance both Count Your Sheep and Real Life have works printed via the service. I can't make any edits to the Count Your Sheep article unless I remove the link to the book, nor can I add the link to Real Life about the new book.

I tried to add a new talk section to [72], using "+". This means that only my text was on the screen. Previous text on the talk page wasn't even in view. Thus it was very confusing to be spam blocked with a text addition that had no links whatsoever. Shouldn't this only happen if you're editing the full article? And should it really apply to Talk pages, where such links might be discussed? (cf. the article itself)? If so, am I supposed to change someone else's talk to fix the spam blocked link? (fortunately in this case, it's myself using it as a reference (See 'Open University credentials') but normally I'd be pretty uncomfortable changing some else's talk?

Here are my questions:
I think this is really fascinating, and am considering doing a review of blacklisted sites to better understand how the process works. What happens to these sites? What % are challenged? What % are manipulated to avoid detection? How many (if any) get removed from the blacklist - and if so, when? Of those that are removed, how many are removed by the original blacklisting admin? Any statistics here?? It is my guess that most of blacklisted sites stay blacklisted forever... but that some are troublesome and keep coming up with ways to try to beat the system. Is that true? What has been done to prevent this? Would anyone be able or interested in helping me with this? Or offering other suggestions of what to look at?

Thanks! This is very helpful! | |||

?? Maybe I don't know how to look at this... but is this the full list? It looks like just the "b"'s?? | |||

If it's controversial, I'll ask someone else to get involved. Everything is transparent and so if I just try to hide a poor decision under the rug, it will blow up in my face. If it appears open and shut (buyviagra.com or getrichquick.net), I just go ahead and handle it. 95+% of spam falls in this category. |
Are sites that may be controversial always listed here before blacklisting - to provide a forum for discussion? Or are there examples where they went directly to the blacklist? The 95% is clear cut. It is the remaining 5% that I want to flush out to better understand | |||
|
?? | ||||
|
?? | This seems like a great oportunity to keep things "clean." In an ideal world, one admin would identify spam and vote to a blacklist... a separate admin would place on proposed blacklist... and if contested - the case should be reviewed by a third admin who is 'impartial'. I do not see any discussion of this type of protocol (or similar). Do you think such efforts are unnecessary? Too burdensome on the admins? (I do not think this is needed on the 95%... only talking about the 5% here) | |||
|
?? | ||||
|
?? | How do I weed out the 5%??? | |||
|
It would seem the answer is that only one vote from one admin is needed (and that could be the same admin that placed the site on the blacklist) | Is that correct??? | |||
|
?? | ||||
|
?? | ||||
|
?? | What is the best way to sort this all out? |
Ultimatly, we can all agree about the 95%. I want to better understand how the Spam-blacklist affects the 5%. Clearly the spam-blacklist plays a key roll in managing the 95%. Was this list intended for the 5% in the first place? What about having every new external link go to a pool that requires review by an admin? This way, we would catch spam before/as it happens? And would perhaps prevent or discourage those from trying to spam? Or is this also too burdensom on the admins, and risks slowing down the rapid growth of some articles?

In regards to my post "How to keep wiki free of spam" I was hoping to get a few more comments before it was archived. Is there little interest? little time? other priorities? all of the above? From my perspective, it seems as if these are important questions that may be difficult to answer but need to be considered (but I must disclose bias... as they are my questions...) I do not think that some of these questions have been asked before... and I hope I have not offended any by asking them now in my attempt to understand the blacklist better.
I wanted to share with everyone that I started a table on my talk that all are welcome to contribute to. Newtowiki2 ( talk) 16:53, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
According to the spam filter, the below contains all of or a portion of s6.invisionfree.com:
Image:Revamped Flareon.png is being used in the 'revamping' section of this artcle. The image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why it would be constituting fair use if used in this Wikipedia article.
This image was originally made by
Nintendo and modified by me. I uploaded it specifically for its use in this article, as an example of a 'revamped' sprite. I do not think it is replaceable by a free alternative because revamped sprites almost always need an existing, non-free sprite to begin with. --

This site is a copyright violating Wikipedia remote loader mirror (see Wikipedia:Mirrors_and_forks/Ghi#gov-certificates.co.uk and [22]), and has been for some time, and it has also been spammed on Wikipedia (eg [23]) and even used inadvertently. This site simply has no place on Wikipedia. Perhaps it should be blacklisted at meta. -- zzuuzz (talk) 15:02, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
Block evading spammer, spammed today after 77.85.162.56 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) was blocked twice for exactly that. See WT:WPSPAM#spam.partenovcfd.com. MER-C 12:18, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
A real estate company in Tangier. They keep adding their link to the Tangier page from different IP addresses. User:Khalid hassani has indicated on the Revision history of Tangier, on 25 Feb. 2008, that they are also spamming the French Wikipedia. Thanks. -- RenniePet ( talk) 18:34, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Still spamming today with a new IP:
Time to blacklist. -- A. B. (talk) 18:26, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
This site was extensively linked by its owner, Fwdixon ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), and post removal there has been reversion by 71.125.233.201 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) among others. I've blacklisted it for now to prevent further abuse. Can be reviewed in a couple of months, I guess. Guy ( Help!) 15:58, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
has been added to the Craigslist article about once a week or so.
Thanks! -- Rocksanddirt ( talk) 05:48, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
Every edit by 82.211.176.12 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) has been to add either backgammons.artprom.biz or artprom.biz to Backgammon. (The first version of the site is in English, the second in Russian.) -- Steven J. Anderson ( talk) 16:41, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
I am proposing that the URL www.webmasters.am be added to the spam black list. This link is posted anonymously from various IP addresses:
And posted on various topics:
( diff)
These are all links that fall in to the Wikipedia:EL#Links_normally_to_be_avoided category # 11. Usually the edits are made on the same day within minutes of each other.
The user R00m_c ( talk · contribs) has also been active in removing these links. Christopher G Lewis ( talk) 18:47, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
As would be expected, the penis enlargement article gets its share of linkspam. contributions and contributions, for example, have been repeatedly blocked for linkspamming (also see spam blacklist report on User Talk:125.209.115.132). Every so often this user comes back and adds variations of a domain name that contain the string "penisenlargement", such as penisenlargementss.com and penisenlargementy.com.
Example diffs of spam:
I suggest we add a general purpose regexp to this blacklist, something like \bpenis-*enlarge[-A-Za-z0-9]*\.[a-z]{2,4}\b
. That would pre-emptively take care of future "contributions" of linkspam to that article. I'm assuming egrep pattern matching here; not sure what's actually being used.
Keeping in mind the debate below about blogspot, we should of course avoid casting too wide a net. A regexp matching simply "penis" may be a bit too broad, but I think "penisenlarg" is almost guaranteed to be spam. = Axlq ( talk) 06:32, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
Being spammed since December at least by throwaway accounts - so warning messages not particularly useful.

Wide spread mixed spamming of these low value, low membership freely hosted chat forums. I'm not convinced these could ever meet Wikipedias inclusion criteria. Not only are forums Links normally to be avoided, they fail Wikipedias specific requirements of our External Links policy, Verifiability Policy and Reliable Source guidelines.-- Hu12 ( talk) 19:17, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

See discussion at:
For comparison to the suite101.com case, which is essentially the same problem:
Most recent discussion at the admin's noticeboard shows a clear consensus to blacklist this site. Essentially, the problem is that anyone is allowed to post their own articles there, with no editorial oversight. Additionally, authors there get paid by the pageview, so there's a clear incentive to spam links to them. At current count, there are 731 links on en.wikipedia, 13 on fr, 7 on de, and I haven't exhausted my searching options yet.
We've dealt with this site in the past, and removing the links just resulted in even more showing up. Once we have this under control, we can deal with removing the existing links. (Likely the only page that we should allow to keep a link there would be Associated Content (and other language versions, of course).) -- Infophile (Talk) (Contribs) 17:55, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
The Perry Bible Fellowship has an interview with the author on the associated content and the page can't be edited until the link is removed. However the link in question is used to support a statement about the comic. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 23:43, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

This is a commercial photography site, with the site owner clearly wanting to sell his photos. This site does not meet the external links guidelines, and he has been told so. Nonetheless, the site owner (presumabely) keeps re-adding the link. I spotted this back in July, when new user Mimopes ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) was adding them. I warned him about this at that time, though he recently blanked my message and continues to spam. [45]
The link has been repeatedly spammed on numerous pages about landmarks, neighborhoods, and places in NYC and DC. He adds the link in a sneaky manner, with a false or misleading edit summary. See here as an example diff of how these links were added. His edit summary was "added architectural landmarks", with the edit including an additional sentence. However, he always also sneaks in his link with the edit (under a false edit summary). That edit was back in July, and I had reverted it then.
This morning I found the link again on a page, and saw the link had been re-added on numerous other pages. Looking at the edit history of that page, I see it was re-added shortly after I took it out, by a new user. (a sock) This time, his edit summary was "notable buldings - grammatical error". In reality, his edit had nothing to do with any grammatical errors or notable buildings. He simply re-added the link and apparently continues to do this as recently as last week. - Czenkaj ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
I took out approximately a dozen of these links today, on various pages about NYC and DC. Since he continues to add the link, do so in a sneaky manner, and will use socks to so, the best course of action is to add the link to the spam blacklist. As an admin, I could add it myself, but an independent admin (whoever maintains this page) should do it. -- Aude ( talk) 17:50, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
Holiday-card related, promotional. At first I thought these links were only being spammed from 61.0.137.*, so I thought a /24 rangeblock might do the trick. However, a link search indicates that the range is wider than that. Activity usually heats up before a holiday ( Easter and Easter bunny in this case). OhNoitsJamie Talk 19:00, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

I had used one of this website's petitions in the article Wizards (film) ( [46]) as a citation for the fact that the petition had gotten the film released on DVD. This fact has been verified by the director both in interviews and on the film's DVD release. It should be linked in the article. ( Ibaranoff24 ( talk) 09:18, 11 February 2008 (UTC))
When I tried to add a review article about ketsui as reference, I was informed it was a spam site. Last time I checked, it is a legitimate video game review site. Why was it entered spam list in the first place? The whole idea of the spambot list simply isn't working, because spammer would just move target, while innocent people who happened to inherit spammer's domains will suffer.

This site was added to the external links on the "Blue Oyster Cult" page, AFTER the official site links. It's a large site, and has been online 5 years. It is an ongoing attempt to document the career of Blue Oyster Cult, and has hundreds of contributors - including current and ex-members of Blue Oyster Cult THEMSELVES and their roadcrew!!
It contains lists of gigs and setlists and reviews completely unavailable anywhere else. The site is unique - it's completely ad-free and no mailing lists are involved. Yet Wiki have blacklisted it as "spam". Needless to say, I disagree, and would like this decision to be reviewed.
The official sites you DO list are by and large pretty useless as founts of BOC knowledge - take the "www.julesradino.com" link you have there - yes, it's "official" but do you come away - after perusing it - with one iota of info on the band? I'll save you the trouble - no, you don't. Have a look at my interview with the BOC drummer at this url:
[Please note, I can't put the actual link here as it won't let me save the page when I do - because of course it is "spam" - please append the following to the url domain mentioned above "/blueskybag/albertbouchard/050212.htm"
The drummer himself said it's the most in-depth interview he's EVER done... it forms the basis for the new section on the site dealing with the band's history from 1967 to 1971 - NOBODY else is doing this. I have tons of emails from visitors who say this is the BEST, most informative BOC site anywhere, yet you say it is SPAM.
Have a look at the BOC history page - for say - 1980 here:
Again, I'm not allowed to put the URL so append the following to the basic site domain: "/history/1980.htm"
This sort of thing is NOT available ANYWHERE else. Yet, apparently, it's SPAM...
By trying to add the link to the Wiki BOC article, I'm attempting to promote a site that not only the average BOC fan will find very useful but also I'm trying to reach the "casual" BOC fans to try and get THEIR contributions to the ongoing BOC story... it's a socially-motivated documentary project - it'll never be complete but along the way, it'll become the most comprehensive encyclopaedic repository of publicly accessible information and opinion on this band that it is possible to get... If that's SPAM to you, then to misquote Dr Seuss, spam I am.....

Vuze.com was added to the blacklist as spam on the articles Vuze, Vuze, Inc., and Azureus, Inc. [68] This is rather nonsensical, as Vuze.com is Vuze Inc., is the company that develops Vuze, and is the new name of Azureus, Inc. We have a domain blacklisted for being used in articles about its owner. It's like blacklisting apple.com for being used on iPod. There seems to have been a handful of attempts to link to a specific video on the service, but we'd have to blacklist half the web if that were the standard. -- Cyrius| ✎ 18:17, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
I have tried to add a link to VBS.TV on the Vice Magazine page, as they are affiliated with the mag. However, the site appears to be blacklisted. I can see that a user VBS.tv has added links to several related pages which have since been reverted, is this the basis for it? If so, I would argue that, although specific content/deep links may not be notable enough to merit inclusion on related pages, the VBS.tv website is significant enough by itself to merit links to the homepage when discussed in relation to Vice Magazine or its impact on IPTV. For that reason, I think it should at least deserve consideration for the whitelist. Thedregs ( talk) 15:14, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Lulu.com is an online self publisher for small authors and I can't figure out why it is blacklisted. The only discussion I found was here, but that didn't indicate any activity one way or the other. We can't reasonably maintain the Lulu article with the link to the company blacklisted and it makes editing articles that have related materials on their site difficult as well. For instance both Count Your Sheep and Real Life have works printed via the service. I can't make any edits to the Count Your Sheep article unless I remove the link to the book, nor can I add the link to Real Life about the new book.

I tried to add a new talk section to [72], using "+". This means that only my text was on the screen. Previous text on the talk page wasn't even in view. Thus it was very confusing to be spam blocked with a text addition that had no links whatsoever. Shouldn't this only happen if you're editing the full article? And should it really apply to Talk pages, where such links might be discussed? (cf. the article itself)? If so, am I supposed to change someone else's talk to fix the spam blocked link? (fortunately in this case, it's myself using it as a reference (See 'Open University credentials') but normally I'd be pretty uncomfortable changing some else's talk?

Here are my questions:
I think this is really fascinating, and am considering doing a review of blacklisted sites to better understand how the process works. What happens to these sites? What % are challenged? What % are manipulated to avoid detection? How many (if any) get removed from the blacklist - and if so, when? Of those that are removed, how many are removed by the original blacklisting admin? Any statistics here?? It is my guess that most of blacklisted sites stay blacklisted forever... but that some are troublesome and keep coming up with ways to try to beat the system. Is that true? What has been done to prevent this? Would anyone be able or interested in helping me with this? Or offering other suggestions of what to look at?

?? Maybe I don't know how to look at this... but is this the full list? It looks like just the "b"'s?? | |||

If it's controversial, I'll ask someone else to get involved. Everything is transparent and so if I just try to hide a poor decision under the rug, it will blow up in my face. If it appears open and shut (buyviagra.com or getrichquick.net), I just go ahead and handle it. 95+% of spam falls in this category. |
Are sites that may be controversial always listed here before blacklisting - to provide a forum for discussion? Or are there examples where they went directly to the blacklist? The 95% is clear cut. It is the remaining 5% that I want to flush out to better understand | |||
|
?? | ||||
|
?? | This seems like a great oportunity to keep things "clean." In an ideal world, one admin would identify spam and vote to a blacklist... a separate admin would place on proposed blacklist... and if contested - the case should be reviewed by a third admin who is 'impartial'. I do not see any discussion of this type of protocol (or similar). Do you think such efforts are unnecessary? Too burdensome on the admins? (I do not think this is needed on the 95%... only talking about the 5% here) | |||
|
?? | ||||
|
?? | How do I weed out the 5%??? | |||
|
It would seem the answer is that only one vote from one admin is needed (and that could be the same admin that placed the site on the blacklist) | Is that correct??? | |||
|
?? | ||||
|
?? | ||||
|
?? | What is the best way to sort this all out? |
Ultimatly, we can all agree about the 95%. I want to better understand how the Spam-blacklist affects the 5%. Clearly the spam-blacklist plays a key roll in managing the 95%. Was this list intended for the 5% in the first place? What about having every new external link go to a pool that requires review by an admin? This way, we would catch spam before/as it happens? And would perhaps prevent or discourage those from trying to spam? Or is this also too burdensom on the admins, and risks slowing down the rapid growth of some articles?

In regards to my post "How to keep wiki free of spam" I was hoping to get a few more comments before it was archived. Is there little interest? little time? other priorities? all of the above? From my perspective, it seems as if these are important questions that may be difficult to answer but need to be considered (but I must disclose bias... as they are my questions...) I do not think that some of these questions have been asked before... and I hope I have not offended any by asking them now in my attempt to understand the blacklist better.
I wanted to share with everyone that I started a table on my talk that all are welcome to contribute to. Newtowiki2 ( talk) 16:53, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
According to the spam filter, the below contains all of or a portion of s6.invisionfree.com:
Image:Revamped Flareon.png is being used in the 'revamping' section of this artcle. The image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why it would be constituting fair use if used in this Wikipedia article.
This image was originally made by
Nintendo and modified by me. I uploaded it specifically for its use in this article, as an example of a 'revamped' sprite. I do not think it is replaceable by a free alternative because revamped sprites almost always need an existing, non-free sprite to begin with. --
