Newspatrolling.com has been blacklisted on Wikipedia and it is harming our reputation in the market. We are not connected to newspatrolling links posted on Wiki and these have been done by people not known to us. Wikipedia is a public domain (one of the biggest, most reputed and social platform) and our name in blacklist is harming our business interests. How can we be held responsible for actions of people who we don't know? If anyone posting spam, then their accounts should be blocked. Adding Newspatrolling.com in blacklist is creating negative perceptions about the company. This may even be an attempt by our competitors to spoil our name among our business clients.
If you want, you can remove all newspatrolling.com links from Wikipedia. But, please, a humble request to remove Newspatrolling.com from blacklist, as it is causing irreparable loss to business reputation and that too without any of our fault.
I would again like to reiterate that we have nothing to do with links posted on Wiki. It has been done by unknown people and we do not wish to be blacklisted for their actions. You can remove all traces of newspatrolling from Wiki, but our name should be removed from blacklist page, as it is causing significant loss of business reputation

Hello, This is the first time I've encountered this issue with an E/L, so it was a real surprise to learn that the website for a major book publisher would be subject to a spam-block.

I'm baffled by why this site is blacklisted; it seems a high quality source of essays on economic topics, and has nicely edited copies of a large number of public domain economic texts having historical importance. My attention was drawn to this by the specific blacklisting of links to books and essays by William Stanley Jevons, a key figure in the nineteenth century marginalist revolution in economics.

The official site for the cult television show You Can't Do That on Television. Very reputable resource, includes historical data, with sources, and direct interviews and features with cast and crew. It appears it was flagged for spam in June 2010 when the site was moving servers (various features were down for quite some time that summer, I recall). That said, the site has been back in good standing for several years now. It's not as active as it used to be, but still serves as a great resource for up to date information regarding the show and it's related media.-- Theonewhoisseveral ( talk) 07:18, 25 March 2019 (UTC)

These three sites are basically SPS fanboi/user forum sites relating to Nazi Germany, and are regularly used to cite all sorts of major and minor things on a large number of articles. Currently, some editors (like me) do regular culls to remove these links, but a global approach seems to be in order. I asked about what to do about them at the Village pump (policy) page, and they directed me here. Perhaps an edit filter would be a better way of approaching this, but basically I think it would be in the interests of WP to stop people citing from them. How best to do that is the question.

A group of connected betting-related websites and blogs, promoted by the same spammer or group of spammers (see User:Bola88/sandbox (history)) and Special:Contributions/203.95.198.130 for the connection). The main issue is 7asiabet.com, but the sites are all maintained by the same entity and prone to recurring spam. Several blocks and warnings to single-purpose accounts and IPs. No educational usage.

I agree that I violated the rule of "no spamming" by Wikipedia but trust me it was unintentional. I run this blog to share tech news and reviews and to my best knowledge, I was referring to related topics. I assure you, I will avoid it and never ever put my site link. Please give me a chance. Thank you.

The official site for the cult television show You Can't Do That on Television. Very reputable resource, includes historical data, with sources, and direct interviews and features with cast and crew. It appears it was flagged for spam in June 2010 when the site was moving servers (various features were down for quite some time that summer, I recall). That said, the site has been back in good standing for several years now. It's not as active as it used to be, but still serves as a great resource for up to date information regarding the show and it's related media.-- Theonewhoisseveral ( talk) 07:18, 25 March 2019 (UTC)

To discourage actions such as this one, there's no reason this should be linked anyway. All links that appear today in Linksearch are a result of that vandalism. -- Luk talk 15:03, 25 March 2019 (UTC)
For reasons that should be blindingly obvious, there should never in the history of the planet be a reason for Wikipedia to link to the Daily Stormer. NorthBySouthBaranof ( talk) 23:21, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
These three sites are basically SPS fanboi/user forum sites relating to Nazi Germany, and are regularly used to cite all sorts of major and minor things on a large number of articles. Currently, some editors (like me) do regular culls to remove these links, but a global approach seems to be in order. I asked about what to do about them at the Village pump (policy) page, and they directed me here. Perhaps an edit filter would be a better way of approaching this, but basically I think it would be in the interests of WP to stop people citing from them. How best to do that is the question.
