Spam blacklists |
---|
|
The Spam-whitelist page is used in conjunction with the Mediawiki SpamBlacklist extension, and lists strings of text that override Meta's blacklist and the local spam-blacklist. Any administrator can edit the spam whitelist. Please post comments to the appropriate section below: Proposed additions (web pages to unblock), Proposed removals (sites to reblock), or Troubleshooting and problems; read the messageboxes at the top of each section for an explanation. See also MediaWiki talk:Spam-blacklist.
Please enter your requests at the bottom of the Proposed additions to Whitelist section and not at the very bottom of the page. Sign your requests with four tildes: ~~~~
Also in your request, please include the following:
Important: You must provide a full link to the specific web page you want to be whitelisted (leave out the http://
from the front; otherwise you will not be able to save your edit to this page). Requests quoting only a domain (i.e. ending in .com
or similar with nothing after the /
character) are likely to be denied. If you wish to have a site fully unblocked please visit the relevant section of
MediaWiki talk:Spam-blacklist.
Note: Do not request links to be whitelisted where you can reasonably suspect that the material you want to link to is in violation of copyright (see WP:LINKVIO). Such requests will likely be summarily rejected.
There is no automated notification system in place for the results of requests, and you will not be notified when your request has a response. You should therefore add this page to your personal watch list, to your notifications through the subscribe feature, or check back here every few days to see if there is any progress on it; in particular, you should check whether administrators have raised any additional queries or expressed any concerns about the request, as failure to reply to these promptly will generally result in the request being denied.
Completed requests are archived, additions and removal are logged. →snippet for logging: {{/request|1087967692#section_name}}
Note that requests from new or unregistered users are not usually considered.
Admins: Use seth's tool to search the spamlists.

Note that I am trying to cite David Ferriero. He is a great third-party source for giving comment on federal government policy beyond his control. I ought not be restricted in doing this. The site may not be blacklisted, but the word "petitions" in the URL seems to trigger a block. Previous discussion about this has happened.
Thanks, Blue Rasberry (talk) 21:01, 20 October 2013 (UTC)
Bluerasberry - the problem is the word petition and the 'spamming' from that. Whatever petition site, those sites get 'spammed' (added solely for the reason to get people to vote for 'your cause'). Moreover, petitions that are running are not useful in any form in Wikipedia, and for petitions that are closed, the only thing the link is useful for is the final result number. That being said, even for that they are a primary source, and that number is only, for Wikipedia, of interest if that petition has had some real impact. And if that is true, it is generally published by other sources, making the primary source superfluous (and if it is not covered, the petition itself is hardly notable enough to be mentioned here anyway).
Therefore, we would only whitelist certain specific links to specific petitions - that may be a case here. I would strongly advise against blanket whitelisting the whole petition site, however respectable.

On the MoneyWeek article as an external link because the link is the official website of the subject of the article..-- Pontificalibus ( talk) 14:17, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
I request that reference to this URL (this page only) be allowed:
http://www[dot]google[dot]com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CC4QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.vsnrweb-publications.org.uk%2FEgla%2FEgils_saga.pdf&ei=jcGoUtj-AuHKsQSMuoGYCQ&usg=AFQjCNEdQ28Ex22fYoRUAv5JXBsEHhzyhg&sig2=jSQ7Oub6ypBgIGrxZ8B59g
The URL is to a cite for a translation of Egils Saga, for use in the article on Skalla-grimr (Egil's father). The present last footnote in that article has a web URL that returns a 404 error message. The above listed URL works, however. You can find this link on Google by searching for "Egils Saga Einarsson" If you have a substitute link for the reference, that's fine too.

This website is the official website of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, it's the official organization for plastic surgeons which are board certified in plastic surgery by the American Board of Medical Specialties. They are heavily involved in plastic surgery education, for example, AMBS certification candidates must have gone though an accredited plastic surgery residency program. They are also involved in public outreach such as educational material for public. So alot of articles involving plastic and reconstructive surgery may like to use this organization's website as a source, to verify information like procedure information, statistics, verify board certification status, etc. Ssc-capricorn ( talk) 19:28, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

I am the Managing Editor for this site so I do have a Conflict of Interest. We do not understand exactly how we got blacklisted, it appears that some individual unaffiliated with us was putting up spam links to inappropriate articles. We feel this individual should be banned, not our organization. One of our senior editors, Erin Pizzey, has her own Wikipedia page /info/en/?search=Erin_Pizzey and contributors who have written for us include Warren Farrell, Helen Smith (psychologist), Miles Groth, and others who also have Wikipedia pages. We are also currently working on a draft article to submit on A Voice for Men itself; the site has received substantial mainstream media coverage in the last two years. We seek help getting whitelisted or just removed from the blacklist by a neutral party who can confirm we are a legitimate site not a spam site. Dean Esmay ( talk) 18:22, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

In the Spread betting article to include moneyweek.com/how-to-profit-from-market-turmoil-spread-betting/ as a reference for spread betting being a means of hedging in the financial markets. Moneyweek is generally a reliable source but it seems it was spam-linked to many years ago. -- Thincat ( talk) 20:13, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
PS Looking at /info/en/?search=Special:LinkSearch/*.moneyweek.com makes me think the domain is being used by a number of articles in a sensible way. Could the domain block be removed and any possible future spam linking monitored? Or can something else be done? BTW I haven't personally added the current link or any of the others. I was just reading the article and thought the link was relevant and useful. Thincat ( talk) 08:43, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
Unblocking after this? That was pretty massive, and continued later with another set of domains of the same owners being added to the blacklist as well. Granted, it is quite some time ago, but then spammers are often our most 'dedicated editors' (it pays their bills ..). -- Dirk Beetstra T C 09:01, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

Unlike other sports, which may be covered on ESPN and then across other media outlets, bodybuilding.com is often the only source available for direct quotes of bodybuilders. This link in particular would be helpful to Ronnie Coleman, and bodybuilding.com links would likely be helpful to all related bodybuilding articles. SanjiSasuke ( talk) 06:15, 13 December 2013 (UTC)

I want the entire site to be white-listed, because it is very notable and one of
South India's most powerful media websites, having appeared in many secondary sources. Such as

[2] and

This website is the official website of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, it's the official organization for plastic surgeons which are board certified in plastic surgery by the American Board of Medical Specialties. They are heavily involved in plastic surgery education, for example, AMBS certification candidates must have gone though an accredited plastic surgery residency program. They are also involved in public outreach such as educational material for public. So alot of articles involving plastic and reconstructive surgery may like to use this organization's website as a source, to verify information like procedure information, statistics, verify board certification status, etc. Ssc-capricorn ( talk) 19:28, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

I am the Managing Editor for this site so I do have a Conflict of Interest. We do not understand exactly how we got blacklisted, it appears that some individual unaffiliated with us was putting up spam links to inappropriate articles. We feel this individual should be banned, not our organization. One of our senior editors, Erin Pizzey, has her own Wikipedia page /info/en/?search=Erin_Pizzey and contributors who have written for us include Warren Farrell, Helen Smith (psychologist), Miles Groth, and others who also have Wikipedia pages. We are also currently working on a draft article to submit on A Voice for Men itself; the site has received substantial mainstream media coverage in the last two years. We seek help getting whitelisted or just removed from the blacklist by a neutral party who can confirm we are a legitimate site not a spam site. Dean Esmay ( talk) 18:22, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

In the Spread betting article to include moneyweek.com/how-to-profit-from-market-turmoil-spread-betting/ as a reference for spread betting being a means of hedging in the financial markets. Moneyweek is generally a reliable source but it seems it was spam-linked to many years ago. -- Thincat ( talk) 20:13, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
PS Looking at /info/en/?search=Special:LinkSearch/*.moneyweek.com makes me think the domain is being used by a number of articles in a sensible way. Could the domain block be removed and any possible future spam linking monitored? Or can something else be done? BTW I haven't personally added the current link or any of the others. I was just reading the article and thought the link was relevant and useful. Thincat ( talk) 08:43, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
Unblocking after this? That was pretty massive, and continued later with another set of domains of the same owners being added to the blacklist as well. Granted, it is quite some time ago, but then spammers are often our most 'dedicated editors' (it pays their bills ..). -- Dirk Beetstra T C 09:01, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

I am attempting to write an article on Yodle, but a PDF I attempted to use as a reference for their ranking in a list triggered the blacklist. I am not 100% sure why google is blocked, but it may have been blocked for length. Thanks for any help, Mat ty. 007 19:52, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

bodybuilding.com: Linksearch en (insource) - meta - de - fr - simple - wikt:en - wikt:fr • Spamcheck • MER-C X-wiki • gs • Reports: Links on en - COIBot - COIBot-Local • Discussions: tracked - advanced - RSN • COIBot- Link, Local, & XWiki Reports - Wikipedia: en - fr - de • Google: search • meta • Domain: domaintools • AboutUs.com The site often has exclusive interviews with IFBB Pros that are not available elsewhere. This in particular was one of many exclusive interviews with Ronnie Coleman that cannot be found on any other site. Unlike other sports, which may be covered on ESPN and then across other media outlets, bodybuilding.com is often the only source available for direct quotes of bodybuilders. This link in particular would be helpful to Ronnie Coleman, and bodybuilding.com links would likely be helpful to all related bodybuilding articles. SanjiSasuke ( talk) 06:15, 13 December 2013 (UTC)
Think these two links need to be whitelisted please:
http://www.onion-router.net/Publications/tor-design.pdf
http://www.onion-router.net/Publications/tor-design.pdf
Looks like they've been picked up a regex in the spam blacklist intended to exclude all .onion (ie. Tor) domains.
