There's a COI editor adding links all over the place to a site called "Medicalopedia". I'm not sure in how far that is a reliable source, but it strikes me as a bit spammy. Perhaps someone from this project can take a look? Thanks. -- Guillaume2303 ( talk) 09:26, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
Rapid addition of links into multiple articles, replacing existing references, external links, categories, navboxes, and/or inter-wiki links while simultaneously adding these new links. --- Barek ( talk • contribs) - 17:46, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

While I even suggested him to add that software to table in a correct way, he completely ignore it and continue his not meaningful modifications of that page.

This newly added user inserts stubarea.net links (e.g. http://www.stubarea.net/workbooks/cisco/ccna/section-7-configuring-routing-information-protocol/) into various Internet Protocol articles. (Examples: [12] [13] [14] [15]) He/she reinserts them after they're deleted (example: [16]) and (so far) refuses to discuss the links or his/her actions. He/she also omits edit summary data and occasionally marks these edits "Minor".
I hope this is the correct format and content for this report--it is my first one. I will be researching the matter and adding to this report as I find more information. Please let me know if it needs other work. — UncleBubba ( T @ C ) 04:58, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

User has a conflict of interest with respect to this site. MER-C 05:00, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
APPEAL: Posting external links on wiki pages to websites that provide completely free educational content does not violate any wiki policies. Several of the existing external links on pages that I've posted links on are to websites that provide a similar type of freely educational content and have NOT been discussed in the discussion page(s). Most of the pages that I've posted links on has not had any legitimate (non-moderation) user discussion activity within the last year or greater.
The website in question does NOT sell any products, it provides educational content free of charge to individuals seeking network engineering training. The only registration required on the website is to access a Cisco Lab that is also freely available to individuals who cannot afford $2000 dollars or greater in Cisco hardware to prepare for Cisco Certification Exam(s).
I urge administration to disregard this spam report and allow for these links to exist as the very foundation of the Wikipedia website exist to promote free education and collaborative learning. Mgeorge27 ( talk) 18:10, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
Many websites contain advertisements including existing external links on the page(s) in question. The website in question, Stub Area Networking is able to bring visitors free educational content by donations and limited advertisements to pay for hosting, power, internet access and other expenses. All revenue made from advertisements goes back into the website. For example; it was the advertisement revenue that paid for the Stub Lab which gives visitors the opportunity to use a fully functional Cisco Lab to prepare for certification exams at no cost to them. This Stub Lab cost approximately $3,500 dollars to build which would make it extremely hard for people build a lab of this magnitude to study on. There are only two websites on the entire internet that provide this invaluable resource.
I will however honor your request and not post any more links to this website. Mgeorge27 ( talk) 20:36, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

Created this page, which seems to be spam: Broadband bonding
Added links to that page to Channel bonding
Has edited Mushroom Networks
"Broadband Bonding" appears to be trademarked name for a product sold by Mushroom Networks, and the only reference on the broadband bonding page is obvious astroturf. Also, the assertion that "Broadband Bonding" is a type of channel bonding is a bit silly (and obviously false). This came to my attention when somebody came on dslreports spamming about this same thing in a thread about somebody's GPL'd MLPPP bonding project
Guspaz ( talk) 22:44, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
The broadband bonding page depends on a single source, which is a blog-like page that would not pass WP:RS muster. — UncleBubba ( T @ C ) 09:24, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

This spammer has a new technique I haven't seen: he starts a whole new section on a talk page titled "Administration", and claims in the text to have just deleted spam from someone, and helpfully includes the link of the website "they" were trying to spam us with. All his edits are external link spam, most MiamiSouthBeach.Org, but recently more sites about wallpaper. Tom Hulse ( talk) 08:14, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

I 'm not sure about this being really spam-related as such, but I have noticed that user
is, more or less on a full time basis, adding external links in various articles to Booknotes.org, a website mainly dedicated to interviews about books:
A few days ago I removed 30 or so of these links per wp:ELNO item #13, the first one here and the last one here, and notified KConWiki here.
This resulted in a mass revert of my undos by user KConWiki, and a discussion on my talk page ( User talk:DVdm#Booknotes) about my removal being inappropriate, given the quality of the external links. The discussion was started by user Rjensen ( talk · contribs) and joined by users KConWiki ( talk · contribs) and WWB Too ( talk · contribs). A bit later user JohnBlackburne ( talk · contribs) added a comment after I had noticed that he had re-undone the revert of my first removal and after I asked him for advice.
As can be seen on my talk page, my rationale is that, according to guideline at wp:ELNO, the website booknotes.org, being not directly related to the subjects of the articles in question, should not be listed as an external link, but rather, being of high quality, should be used as a reference/source for some points to be integrated in the body of the article. That is how I (and JohnBlackburne) seem to interpret the guideline.
I kind of see their point, but nevertheless this point seems to be so directly in violation with item #13 of wp:ELNO, that I'm really wondering whether I am totally off the mark here, in which case I would like to avoid making the same mistake in the future. So could someone uninvolved please have a look at this? TIA. DVdm ( talk) 12:22, 25 December 2011 (UTC)
User KConWiki notified on their talk page. - DVdm ( talk) 12:32, 25 December 2011 (UTC)
As I said on my talk page, it's no big deal, but can I assume that my interpretation of item 13 of wp:ELNO is indeed correct? - DVdm ( talk) 13:58, 25 December 2011 (UTC)
We know Rjensen's and WWB Too's opinions from what they said on my talk page. I came here to get opinions from some uninvolved editors, because I wanted to know whether I did something wrong, "in which case I would like to avoid making the same mistake in the future." According to Rjensen and WWB Too I clearly did something wrong. According to MER-C and JohnBlackburne, who was uninvolved in the discussion when he re-undid this, it looks like I did nothing wrong. Any other takers? - DVdm ( talk) 10:47, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
I saw the note at WP:ELN.
DVdm, you seem to be having trouble figuring out what constitutes a "related" link. So here are some principles you'll want to keep in mind:
Thanks to all for your comments, and also for the individual ways in which you make Wikipedia a great resource (and I genuinely mean that). A few things about this:
Really wonder why this page is still not removed from Wikipedia: GayRomeo
The page was already subject for deletion on March 28, 2007 but for then Wikipedia decided to keep it. When you visit the page the first thing it shows up is "This article may be written like an advertisement", which it clearly is. Looks like pure self promotion (free advertisement) and written by the owners, filled with a bunch of backlinks to its website.
Ask yourself the question.... Does this REALLY add any value to the Wikipedia Encyclopedia??? Is (or was) GayRomeo really that important for the whole world to know?

There's a COI editor adding links all over the place to a site called "Medicalopedia". I'm not sure in how far that is a reliable source, but it strikes me as a bit spammy. Perhaps someone from this project can take a look? Thanks. -- Guillaume2303 ( talk) 09:26, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

User has a conflict of interest with respect to this site. MER-C 05:00, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
APPEAL: Posting external links on wiki pages to websites that provide completely free educational content does not violate any wiki policies. Several of the existing external links on pages that I've posted links on are to websites that provide a similar type of freely educational content and have NOT been discussed in the discussion page(s). Most of the pages that I've posted links on has not had any legitimate (non-moderation) user discussion activity within the last year or greater.
The website in question does NOT sell any products, it provides educational content free of charge to individuals seeking network engineering training. The only registration required on the website is to access a Cisco Lab that is also freely available to individuals who cannot afford $2000 dollars or greater in Cisco hardware to prepare for Cisco Certification Exam(s).
I urge administration to disregard this spam report and allow for these links to exist as the very foundation of the Wikipedia website exist to promote free education and collaborative learning. Mgeorge27 ( talk) 18:10, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
Many websites contain advertisements including existing external links on the page(s) in question. The website in question, Stub Area Networking is able to bring visitors free educational content by donations and limited advertisements to pay for hosting, power, internet access and other expenses. All revenue made from advertisements goes back into the website. For example; it was the advertisement revenue that paid for the Stub Lab which gives visitors the opportunity to use a fully functional Cisco Lab to prepare for certification exams at no cost to them. This Stub Lab cost approximately $3,500 dollars to build which would make it extremely hard for people build a lab of this magnitude to study on. There are only two websites on the entire internet that provide this invaluable resource.
I will however honor your request and not post any more links to this website. Mgeorge27 ( talk) 20:36, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

Created this page, which seems to be spam: Broadband bonding
Added links to that page to Channel bonding
Has edited Mushroom Networks
"Broadband Bonding" appears to be trademarked name for a product sold by Mushroom Networks, and the only reference on the broadband bonding page is obvious astroturf. Also, the assertion that "Broadband Bonding" is a type of channel bonding is a bit silly (and obviously false). This came to my attention when somebody came on dslreports spamming about this same thing in a thread about somebody's GPL'd MLPPP bonding project
Guspaz ( talk) 22:44, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
The broadband bonding page depends on a single source, which is a blog-like page that would not pass WP:RS muster. — UncleBubba ( T @ C ) 09:24, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

This spammer has a new technique I haven't seen: he starts a whole new section on a talk page titled "Administration", and claims in the text to have just deleted spam from someone, and helpfully includes the link of the website "they" were trying to spam us with. All his edits are external link spam, most MiamiSouthBeach.Org, but recently more sites about wallpaper. Tom Hulse ( talk) 08:14, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

Surprisingly nothing in the linkwatcher database, but this is worthy of a permanent record. MER-C 12:30, 26 December 2011 (UTC)

I 'm not sure about this being really spam-related as such, but I have noticed that user
is, more or less on a full time basis, adding external links in various articles to Booknotes.org, a website mainly dedicated to interviews about books:
A few days ago I removed 30 or so of these links per wp:ELNO item #13, the first one here and the last one here, and notified KConWiki here.
This resulted in a mass revert of my undos by user KConWiki, and a discussion on my talk page ( User talk:DVdm#Booknotes) about my removal being inappropriate, given the quality of the external links. The discussion was started by user Rjensen ( talk · contribs) and joined by users KConWiki ( talk · contribs) and WWB Too ( talk · contribs). A bit later user JohnBlackburne ( talk · contribs) added a comment after I had noticed that he had re-undone the revert of my first removal and after I asked him for advice.
As can be seen on my talk page, my rationale is that, according to guideline at wp:ELNO, the website booknotes.org, being not directly related to the subjects of the articles in question, should not be listed as an external link, but rather, being of high quality, should be used as a reference/source for some points to be integrated in the body of the article. That is how I (and JohnBlackburne) seem to interpret the guideline.
I kind of see their point, but nevertheless this point seems to be so directly in violation with item #13 of wp:ELNO, that I'm really wondering whether I am totally off the mark here, in which case I would like to avoid making the same mistake in the future. So could someone uninvolved please have a look at this? TIA. DVdm ( talk) 12:22, 25 December 2011 (UTC)
User KConWiki notified on their talk page. - DVdm ( talk) 12:32, 25 December 2011 (UTC)
As I said on my talk page, it's no big deal, but can I assume that my interpretation of item 13 of wp:ELNO is indeed correct? - DVdm ( talk) 13:58, 25 December 2011 (UTC)
We know Rjensen's and WWB Too's opinions from what they said on my talk page. I came here to get opinions from some uninvolved editors, because I wanted to know whether I did something wrong, "in which case I would like to avoid making the same mistake in the future." According to Rjensen and WWB Too I clearly did something wrong. According to MER-C and JohnBlackburne, who was uninvolved in the discussion when he re-undid this, it looks like I did nothing wrong. Any other takers? - DVdm ( talk) 10:47, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
I saw the note at WP:ELN.
DVdm, you seem to be having trouble figuring out what constitutes a "related" link. So here are some principles you'll want to keep in mind:
Thanks to all for your comments, and also for the individual ways in which you make Wikipedia a great resource (and I genuinely mean that). A few things about this:
Really wonder why this page is still not removed from Wikipedia: GayRomeo
The page was already subject for deletion on March 28, 2007 but for then Wikipedia decided to keep it. When you visit the page the first thing it shows up is "This article may be written like an advertisement", which it clearly is. Looks like pure self promotion (free advertisement) and written by the owners, filled with a bunch of backlinks to its website.
Ask yourself the question.... Does this REALLY add any value to the Wikipedia Encyclopedia??? Is (or was) GayRomeo really that important for the whole world to know?
