Rather strongly alleged copyvio for much of the material. See WP:COPYLINK - we do not link to material where there is a concern that the material is hosted in violation of copyright. Please use the original where possible (even if the material is hosted without it being in violation of copyright or a fair use case can be made), or use whitelisting for specific links that are permissible and where the material cannot be found elsewhere (note that 'there is no other copy online' is not a viable concern as long as you can refer to a hardcopy of the material). -- Dirk Beetstra T C 06:16, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

I was working on the IRC helpdesk, and I noticed that User:Priyadarshi Shastri was seeking help adding links to this source from some of our more popular articles. Shastri told me that they are an editor who works at sociotab and that they were seeking to promote the site by adding links to sociotab from relevant Wikipedia articles. -- Salimfadhley ( talk) 10:49, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

It is an advertisement for a product. This link is repeatedly added as citation on RFID skimming after removal. I previously removed a sentence about this product since I can't find any non-primary sources supporting it; this link is still being added as a citation by suspected sockpuppets although it doesn't really support anything else. I don't think semi protecting the page is necessary as this link seems to be the only spam problem I'n aware of. -- 𝕒𝕥𝕠𝕞𝕚𝕔𝕕𝕣𝕒𝕘𝕠𝕟𝟙𝟛𝟞 🗨️ 🖊️ 01:12, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

Cross-wiki spam for avif.io and jpegxl.io, same imprint. When I blocked the long-term stable (>1 year!) /64 range "2A02:908:2D15:97A0:*", a new one appeared with the same spam ("2A02:3035:C02:30E3:*"), resulting in a /18 overall range that is unfeasible to block. ~ ToBeFree ( talk) 20:54, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

I don't have a connection with PV-Magazine, but I am a member of the solar industry. I can't comment on the quality of the journal, but I do attend their webinars and read the articles from time to time, and in my opinion, it's really no better or worse than any of the other solar industry magazines. It seems inconsistent to blacklist this one branch of a global publication and not the other branches like the German or USA versions, which all have the same publisher. Or why not blacklist the other magazines like PV-Tech, GTM, Solar Power World, or Photon? I understand that a single user allegedly working as a marketer made some seriously bad faith edits in a blatant attempt to abuse Wikipedia 10 years ago, but in my opinion those conditions are no longer relevant, or at least I hope not. Please let me know if there's any further information I can provide. I believe having PV-Magazine and other periodicals that cover the solar industry are important in bringing quality, neutral, and important topics of interest to Wikipedia readers who are interested in solar energy, solar power, and renewable energy. Thanks!

Can we start setting up a /Perennial requests or /Common requests for material that we keep refusing to delist? It is a bit tiresome for some sources to do a whole analysis again on material and have to come to the same conclusion.
