Blocking the user doesn't help since he just comes back with another name or an IP, and he hasn't given up in months, so protecting the page for a few days is pointless and just interferes with legitimate editing.

I'm an admin, but there's no way I'm messin' with this list. I can't even get Miszabot to work without asking for help. :) Plus, this is not my usual neighborhood, so I don't know if the Bot is approved for copyvio links. I have spent a good many hours over the last two days cleaning up links to this site per WP:LINKVIO. It can be legitimately used; I've found one article with lyrics in public domain. The other hundreds were copyvios. The organization claims that it used to try to post lyrics legitimately, offering royalties, but as of March 2008 they've apparently abandoned any pretense of responsibility to copyright holders, as they themselves professed. (See Wikipedia talk:Copyright problems#How about links? for more context.) I have no diffs to demonstrate spamming, per se, but my current contributions (and that of my non-admin account doppelganger, here) have plenty of diffs of it being used in violation of copyright. Can XLinkBot help with that? -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:24, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
The site appears to be a fansite that's not completed, and I've been removing the link from multiple articles added in by various IP's. Spencer T♦ C 15:15, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
Multiple IP's and registered users keep adding this site to various articles. Seems to just be for advertising and in the cases of wrestling article supporting copyright violation (advertising where you can watch the PPV for free). I mostly watch wrestling articles, but I have noticed it added to non-wrestling articles too: [13], [14], http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Genesis_(2009)&diff=261016955&oldid=260971116], [15] among others.

Per a consensus discussion here, please add blogcritics.org, altfg.com, cosmoetica.com, and noripcord.com to XLinkBot. All of us who took part in that discussion really appreciate XLinkBot enabling us to keep new and anonymous editors from spamming Wikipedia with these sites while still allowing experienced editors to add info and links from there. Excellent job on creating XLinkBot! Best,-- SouthernNights ( talk) 00:24, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

greyfalcon.us says on its home page "This site contains copyrighted material the use of which has not always been specifically authorized by the copyright owner." and I certainly have found links in articles to copyrighted stuff hosted there. Can it somehow be blocked? Thanks. Here are the current links, I am working on it when I can but I think the domain should be blocked.

User:Moonriddengirl suggested I raise this here:
— To give an example, the first article in the search results page, Community Chapel and Bible Training Center, has 22 links to unlicensed copies of newspaper articles.
— Fair_use#Practical_effect_of_fair_use_defense, L.A._Times_v._Free_Republic make clear that we are on shaky ground here in terms of contributory infringement.
— Some of the material hosted on rickross.com is for sale online by the legitimate owners. Example: [25] [26]
— Apart from the potential copyright issue, there are also some reliability problems with the material hosted on the site, i.e. unmarked deletions/changes in the hosted articles. For further details, see [27] on Durova's talk page. Jayen 466 19:04, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
Here's the linksearch I've been running and reverting. Basically, I'm requesting that entries matching ".telus.net/findNchoose" be blocked. It's been added by a number of IPs to a huge number of articles- recent entries include clutterers anonymous, small engine repair, and motorcycling. Can you add a regex to prevent new links from being added? tedder ( talk) 06:49, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
See Conservapedia for unsuitability. Would cause too much trouble to blacklist.
Can we get *. senfordhighschool.com added to XLinkBot? It's a for-profit online "high school diploma mill" that regularly spams several education related articles.

This link keeps being added to the Sarah Harding website by anonymous users - 1 2 3 (and that's just the last month). Blocking isn't feasible because they change IP every time they come back, and neither is page protection because it'll probably expire before the next time they come back. ~~ [ジャム][ t - c 22:14, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Apparently trying to subvert XLinkBot because "weargood.blogspot.com" and "mysneakersworld.blogspot.com" are already on the list. PLEASE make this go away!. I'm getting tired of reverting. argh. -- OlEnglish ( Talk) 06:05, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
Very persistent spammer is using mutliple IPs. Has been doing this since November 11 - see Revision history of News style. Any IP starting 190.x.x.x The spam page is a list of links. This involves several articles (see the first IP summary below for examples). I've listed just a few of the IPs he's using.
Thank you,

Both sites offer low-quality images and are riddled with Adsense adverts, mostly found on city articles for the former and animated series and film articles for the latter. Thecartoonpictures.com has been the most frequently spammed site of the two, always so far through cycling IP addresses. [63] [64] [65] [66] [67]

Whilst not intentionally being spammed, these URLs are commonly added by new users trying to hotlink images from their servers. And as there are no other uses for the URL in the article space, there shouldn't be any false positives.-- Otterathome ( talk) 10:27, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
Repeatedly added to Islamic banking and related articles by the company itself, including under (both now blocked) User:Aims.uk and User:Uk.aims, and now under various IPs. Example diffs: [68], [69], [70], [71] -- Cybercobra ( talk) 07:12, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
