About a week or so ago I noticed an IP mass adding AusBT (Australian Business Traveller) articles as a cited source (when other main stream articles exist), but this seem to be a far more concerning issue as a number of IPs (likely more IPs I don't yet know about) have been adding it. My view is that they are using Wikipedia to try and make their search ratings higher as well as using it to advertise themselves. One IP even admitted to be from AusBT. Another editor has pointed out that AusBT may not a reliable source, which I agree with.

- Hello, Thank you for letting me know. We are a group from Stanford University. We met with Diederik, Howie, and Steve at the Wikimedia office in San Francisco a couple of weeks ago and discussed the idea of finding out why new editors join as a means to study overall editor retention. Please let me know if we can go ahead with the surveys. Thank you for your diligence in keeping Wikipedia clean! Ms&e card ( talk) 18:38, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

This SPA has been racking up edits adding promotional material to Cineplex Entertainment ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) over the past few weeks. The edits are unreferenced and read like a press release. I've reverted 'em and warned the editor, but they don't seem to be paying attention to their talk page. Given the nature of the edits, I'm concerned that this editor may be affiliated with the article subject and therefore have a conflict of interest. // ⌘macwhiz ( talk) 02:45, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Some recent images added by User:Delsiegrates have set off my (perhaps oversensitive) spam alarm. The images all seem to be sourced to commercial sites. The IMO poor-quality image added here to Acoustic guitar is sourced to http://www.34acousticguitar.net/3-4-acoustic-guitar-an-introduction/ As another example, this edit to Grants Pass, Oregon adds an IMO unneccessary photo of rental units sourced to http://www.riverwood-apartments.com/category/rentals-in-grant-pass/ . An image of an "E-Z Grip Clamp" sourced to http://www.horsematting.org/5/horse-matting/ was added to both the dab page Clamp and to C-clamp. An unhelpful photo of "A man with back pain" sourced to http://www.backpainreliefreports.com/decompression-therapy/back-decompression/ was added to three articles dealing with the human back (I will be removing these three as not improving the target articles). -- CliffC ( talk) 20:56, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
Hm, that was a bigger rock than I expected. Thank you. CliffC ( talk) 23:43, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
Each of this user's 38 edits since 2 February has involved a link to the site. They can be straight external links, text-free secondary citations added to existing cited statements, or short blurbs about current celebrities cited to the site, example here. We have right now 432 links to the ibtimes site and I'm sure many have value, but this user's edits seem to have the sole purpose of adding links, not keeping us up to date on celebrity activities and awards.
The article International Business Times is a bit troublesome also, with 20 or 30 inline links to various editions and sections. ( Now cleaned out, there were 31 ) . -- CliffC ( talk) 03:58, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

... fat-thumbed? Seems the only blocking of the link is in the template {{LinkSummary|ibtimes.com}}. (

Redthoreau ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · blacklist hits · AbuseLog · what links to user page · count · COIBot · Spamcheck · user page logs · x-wiki · status · Edit filter search · Google · StopForumSpam) is spamming political links to Democracy Now! in external links sections in violation of WP:ELNO. THF ( talk) 13:52, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
I would move to have an Admin close this politically-driven and absurd nomination (with no corroborating support), so that I can get back to the work of the actual encyclopedia. Redthoreau -- ( talk) 07:17, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
The videos have been spammed to multiple External Links sections in violation of WP:NOTDIR; there seems to be a coordinated meat-puppet campaign to add Democracy Now videos to Wikipedia. They're admittedly fringe views that wouldn't even be appropriately included as in-line citations because of RS problems. They violate ELPOV and NOTDIR, and it's appropriate to discuss them en masse. Redthoreau's attempt to change the subject doesn't change that. THF ( talk) 19:44, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
How many democracynow links have been added in, say, the past two weeks? Jayjg (talk) 21:57, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
One needs to look at this holistically: the problem here is WP:NOTDIR. I can add hundreds of EL to reason.tv (which would have the side benefit of promoting NPOV, since that notable point of view is absent from numerous articles), but I don't: if everybody adds their favorite web videos to every page, we run into problems. Redthoreau doesn't get special exemption for his favorite video: on the Stella Liebeck article alone, I can identify a dozen external links more appropriate, accurate, and neutral than the democracynow.org propaganda, which would then inappropriately clutter up the page. Simply put, democracynow.org is only reliable for Democracy Now's POV, which is admittedly fringe since, in Redthoreau's own words, they focus on "subjects that are commonly ignored (or intentionally censored) by the larger corporate media." WP:TRUTH is a very bad motivation for adding external links. Redthoreau needs to stop violating WP:BATTLE and needs to stop edit-warring to include these inappropriate links. THF ( talk) 23:11, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
Two promotional links were added in this edit, but removed. A discussion at ELN was mildly deprecatory of the contribution, but not conclusive. Briefly reinstated, with the contributor's comment: "...People who do not know what a computer simulation is probably would not hire us...". The fact that the spam may not be particularly successful spam isn't, IMO, a sufficient reason to allow it to remain. Views? -- Old Moonraker ( talk) 08:53, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

Anyone have time to look at this link? 9,653 links total. There are a few dozen links to the main www.ibdb.com url, which indicates inexperienced editors if not spammers. Looks like it's being used as a source a great deal as well. I'd assume it should very rarely be used as a ref, but would be fine as an external link to pages within the database. -- Ronz ( talk) 22:38, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
This SPA is solely adding material relating to the output of a single record company. almost- instinct 23:49, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
My site www.comedyseries.info was listed on WikiProject_Spam because of the links placed on some pages of Wikipedia, but since I have no idea what it means could someone answer my questions:
1. if my site is listed on WikiProject_Spam does it mean that it was marked as a spam by users or robots?
2. since I've removed all my links does it mean my site will be removed from WikiProject_Spam?
3. if answer to question 2 is "no" what can or should I do to remove my site from WikiProject_Spam?

About a week or so ago I noticed an IP mass adding AusBT (Australian Business Traveller) articles as a cited source (when other main stream articles exist), but this seem to be a far more concerning issue as a number of IPs (likely more IPs I don't yet know about) have been adding it. My view is that they are using Wikipedia to try and make their search ratings higher as well as using it to advertise themselves. One IP even admitted to be from AusBT. Another editor has pointed out that AusBT may not a reliable source, which I agree with.

This SPA has been racking up edits adding promotional material to Cineplex Entertainment ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) over the past few weeks. The edits are unreferenced and read like a press release. I've reverted 'em and warned the editor, but they don't seem to be paying attention to their talk page. Given the nature of the edits, I'm concerned that this editor may be affiliated with the article subject and therefore have a conflict of interest. // ⌘macwhiz ( talk) 02:45, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Some recent images added by User:Delsiegrates have set off my (perhaps oversensitive) spam alarm. The images all seem to be sourced to commercial sites. The IMO poor-quality image added here to Acoustic guitar is sourced to http://www.34acousticguitar.net/3-4-acoustic-guitar-an-introduction/ As another example, this edit to Grants Pass, Oregon adds an IMO unneccessary photo of rental units sourced to http://www.riverwood-apartments.com/category/rentals-in-grant-pass/ . An image of an "E-Z Grip Clamp" sourced to http://www.horsematting.org/5/horse-matting/ was added to both the dab page Clamp and to C-clamp. An unhelpful photo of "A man with back pain" sourced to http://www.backpainreliefreports.com/decompression-therapy/back-decompression/ was added to three articles dealing with the human back (I will be removing these three as not improving the target articles). -- CliffC ( talk) 20:56, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
Hm, that was a bigger rock than I expected. Thank you. CliffC ( talk) 23:43, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
Each of this user's 38 edits since 2 February has involved a link to the site. They can be straight external links, text-free secondary citations added to existing cited statements, or short blurbs about current celebrities cited to the site, example here. We have right now 432 links to the ibtimes site and I'm sure many have value, but this user's edits seem to have the sole purpose of adding links, not keeping us up to date on celebrity activities and awards.
The article International Business Times is a bit troublesome also, with 20 or 30 inline links to various editions and sections. ( Now cleaned out, there were 31 ) . -- CliffC ( talk) 03:58, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

... fat-thumbed? Seems the only blocking of the link is in the template {{LinkSummary|ibtimes.com}}. (

Redthoreau ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · blacklist hits · AbuseLog · what links to user page · count · COIBot · Spamcheck · user page logs · x-wiki · status · Edit filter search · Google · StopForumSpam) is spamming political links to Democracy Now! in external links sections in violation of WP:ELNO. THF ( talk) 13:52, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
I would move to have an Admin close this politically-driven and absurd nomination (with no corroborating support), so that I can get back to the work of the actual encyclopedia. Redthoreau -- ( talk) 07:17, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
The videos have been spammed to multiple External Links sections in violation of WP:NOTDIR; there seems to be a coordinated meat-puppet campaign to add Democracy Now videos to Wikipedia. They're admittedly fringe views that wouldn't even be appropriately included as in-line citations because of RS problems. They violate ELPOV and NOTDIR, and it's appropriate to discuss them en masse. Redthoreau's attempt to change the subject doesn't change that. THF ( talk) 19:44, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
How many democracynow links have been added in, say, the past two weeks? Jayjg (talk) 21:57, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
One needs to look at this holistically: the problem here is WP:NOTDIR. I can add hundreds of EL to reason.tv (which would have the side benefit of promoting NPOV, since that notable point of view is absent from numerous articles), but I don't: if everybody adds their favorite web videos to every page, we run into problems. Redthoreau doesn't get special exemption for his favorite video: on the Stella Liebeck article alone, I can identify a dozen external links more appropriate, accurate, and neutral than the democracynow.org propaganda, which would then inappropriately clutter up the page. Simply put, democracynow.org is only reliable for Democracy Now's POV, which is admittedly fringe since, in Redthoreau's own words, they focus on "subjects that are commonly ignored (or intentionally censored) by the larger corporate media." WP:TRUTH is a very bad motivation for adding external links. Redthoreau needs to stop violating WP:BATTLE and needs to stop edit-warring to include these inappropriate links. THF ( talk) 23:11, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
Two promotional links were added in this edit, but removed. A discussion at ELN was mildly deprecatory of the contribution, but not conclusive. Briefly reinstated, with the contributor's comment: "...People who do not know what a computer simulation is probably would not hire us...". The fact that the spam may not be particularly successful spam isn't, IMO, a sufficient reason to allow it to remain. Views? -- Old Moonraker ( talk) 08:53, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

Anyone have time to look at this link? 9,653 links total. There are a few dozen links to the main www.ibdb.com url, which indicates inexperienced editors if not spammers. Looks like it's being used as a source a great deal as well. I'd assume it should very rarely be used as a ref, but would be fine as an external link to pages within the database. -- Ronz ( talk) 22:38, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

My site www.comedyseries.info was listed on WikiProject_Spam because of the links placed on some pages of Wikipedia, but since I have no idea what it means could someone answer my questions:
1. if my site is listed on WikiProject_Spam does it mean that it was marked as a spam by users or robots?
2. since I've removed all my links does it mean my site will be removed from WikiProject_Spam?
3. if answer to question 2 is "no" what can or should I do to remove my site from WikiProject_Spam?
