Proposed additions
|
This section is for proposing that a website be blacklisted; add new entries at the bottom of the section, using the basic URL so that there is no link (example.com, not http://www.example.com). Provide links demonstrating widespread spamming by multiple users on multiple wikis. Completed requests will be marked as {{added}} or {{declined}} and archived. |

Enwiki: added regurarly by sockpuppets of indef-blocked en:User:Pakhtun Tanoli, specially multiple IPs (see en:Category:Suspected_Wikipedia_sockpuppets_of_Pakhtun_Tanoli). en:Tanoli has been semi-protected a pair of times, but the link has been inserted at multiple talk pages[1][2].
Simple wiki: added by several IPs (most certainly the user that was blocked from enwiki) [3][4]

trainpetdog.com
trainpetdog.com
(from en:MediaWiki_talk:Spam-blacklist)
This domain has been repeatedly added to dog-related articles. I removed it from 25 en.wikipedia articles yesterday and from pt.wikipedia and no.wikipedia today. After reading this link and this link I can only conclude that this is a criminal scam run from India and it should be blacklisted immediately. The pattern of adding the spam is interesting, a different IP address is used each time, but always from the same Indian-registered ISP. Below are a few of the IP addresses used, but this list is by no means exhaustive:

Per COIBot XWiki report, this one has been abused, however there are some legitimate uses. I think we can blacklist this for now - if it becomes a problem in the future, we can remove it again, or consider whitelisting. As well, recall that the blacklist no longer "locks" pages with spam links - you can still save the page as long as you're not adding links. — Mike.lifeguard | @en.wb 00:35, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Proposed additions (Bot reported)

|
This section is for websites which have been added to multiple wikis as observed by a bot.
Items there will automatically be archived by the bot when they get stale. Sysops, please change the LinkStatus template to closed ( These are automated reports, please check the records and the link thoroughly, it may be good links! For some more info, see Spam blacklist/help#SpamReportBot_reports If the report contains links to less than 5 wikis, then only add it when it is really spam. Otherwise just revert the link-additions, and close the report, closed reports will be reopened when spamming continues. The bot will automagically mark as stale any reports that have less than 5 links reported, which have not been edited in the last 7 days, and where the last editor is COIBot. They can be found in this category. Please place suggestions on the automated reports in the discussion section. |
COIBot
Running, will report a certain domain shortly after a link is used more than 2 times by one user on more than 2 wikipedia (technically: when more than 66% of this link has been added by this user, and more than 66% of this link were added XWiki). Same system as SpamReportBot (discussions after the remark "<!-- Please put comments after this remark -->" at the bottom; please close reports when reverted/blacklisted/waiting for more or ignore when good link)

Proposed removals

This section is for proposing that a website be unlisted; please add new entries at the bottom of the section.
Remember to provide the specific domain blacklisted, links to the articles they are used in or useful to, and arguments in favour of unlisting. Completed requests will be marked as See also /recurring requests for repeatedly proposed (and refused) removals. The addition or removal of a domain from the blacklist is not a vote; please do not bold the first words in statements. |

Please remove www.pz10.com as it is blacklisted. Thanks — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Robsingh (talk)
- The link isn't blacklisted here. You will have to ask for removal from the local blacklist on your wiki. For en.wikipedia, where the link is blacklisted, you can ask for removal at en:MediaWiki talk:Spam-blacklist#Proposed removals. --Jorunn 12:04, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

in connection to russianfootage.com, please whitelist the web site to make just one link to Stock footage page here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stock_footage
Hello Dear Administrators, and Dirk in particular,
Thanks for responding and I see you are quite tough … taken into account that you are worldwide authority for all Wikipedia editors, at least I was told so by my Russian colleagues, it would be quite difficult for me to explain that I am ”white and fluffy” to the stock footage page editor. Just to confirm that we are real - we are currently licensing BBC archive in Russia and supplying footage for Seconds from Disaster documentary for Discovery Channel and other worldwide producers. I am sure you like watch quality documentaries on tv, we help tv production companies to produce them and I am sure that the information on russianfootage.com will contribute wikipedia stock footage page...
I have already addressed this issue on stock footage page discussion but they referred me blacklist removals first ...I guess I feel encircled by the time addresing this back to you DIRK
We say in Russia that they write rules because exception exist… please take a thorough look at our web site tvdata.ru and allow us to post a site link to Wikipedia stock footage page to provide helpfull information worldwide producers …
Please white list us and it will be a big lesson for the future accuracy. P.S. in the future we will not post any links before contacting page administrator.
Thank you so much. Oxana — The preceding unsigned comment was added by 92.243.166.230 (talk)
- russianfootage.com isn't blacklisted here. There are local blacklists on the various wikis, request for removal from those local blacklists will have to be made on the wiki where the link is blocked. (the link is blaclisted on en.wikipedia. Requests for removal there can be posted at en:MediaWiki talk:Spam-blacklist#Proposed removals)
- I see that the links footager.ru and tvdata.tv has been added various places from the IP you are editing from, you wouldn't happen to know anything about those links too?

- As explained on the local whitelist on en, these links was spammed using a massive number of IPs and accounts. We are writing an encyclopedia here, not a linkfarm, and as such this request is declined until an uninvolved, established editor thinks this link is of interest.
Not done (and I would suggest you don't go cross-wiki with any of the links, they are likely to end up on the meta blacklist, which has as a result that these links can not be used on a huge number of wikis. --Dirk Beetstra T C (en: U, T) 15:13, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
Oh, I see this is already a cross-wiki case concerning this link and this IP.

Dear Admin
Please will you remove kit2fit.com from your Spam list. This is a respectable site, which accidentally allowed public access to it's files a couple of years ago and some unscrupulous person added pages to the site about products which are not sold and which they used to Spam. Since then the site has been properly managed and is highly regarded in it's area of business. Thanking you in anticipation.

- I'm not sure why any Wikimedia wiki would want to link to that site, it appears to be an online store? Links are generally not removed from the blacklist after requests from site owners. The links gets removed when trusted users, who are adding more than just external links, requests it because they need the link for reference etc. --Jorunn 12:35, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
I am not asking Wikimedia to add a link to the site, just remove it from the blacklist. As you have seen this is a respectable site which only occasionally contacts it former customers who have agreed they are happy to receive information. Having said that, I only found out that the site had been blacklisted only by finding a competitor online store linked on Wikimedia which is promoting itself as the supplier of a particular product. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pepperpot9999 (talk • contribs) .
- This was an addition by Nakon (so logged separately) after a request on :w:en:WP:ANI. The spam was not cross-wiki, so I would perhaps move that set of regexes to the enwiki local blacklist. However, I see no reason it should be useful for the benefit of our projects, so perhaps best to leave as-is? — Mike.lifeguard | @en.wb 01:00, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
I'm really sorry but I am a novice and don't fully understand what you're saying, I just thought that everything on Wikimedia was supposed to be truthful and we should both be able to benefit from getting the facts straight. The domain name is not a spammer so surely it should just be removed completely.Pepperpot9999
- I'm not sure I understand your objection. I'm saying the domain was spammed (that has nothing to do with the content of the domain). However, we should perhaps discuss moving that batch to the English Wikipedia's local blacklist, since the spam doesn't appear to have been cross-wiki. Let's see if anyone else has further comments. — Mike.lifeguard | @en.wb 17:14, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
What I am objecting to is that it is on any blacklist at all. The owner of this highly respectable webiste/domain name has never abused it and I have explained that they are just the victim of the unscrupulous behaviour of a third party who was stopped some time ago when the abuse was discovered. Moving it to another list just doesn't make sense when it shouldn't be on a blacklist in the first place. ~~— The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pepperpot9999 (talk)
- We're not saying that the owner himself abused it or anything. Someone else has spammed it though. To stop the spam linking to this domain from Wikipedia is no longer possible. That's all there is to the blacklist. --Erwin(85) 20:07, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
If huangshan.com can be removed then so can kit2fit.com. I'm not sure you realise or quite appreciate the damage you are doing an owners business, if a competitor can be listed as a retailer of Ribcap or any other product and boost their ranking in search results you are not creating a level playing field for others if will not allow all relevant sites to be mentioned or linked.~~— The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pepperpot9999 (talk)
- Dear pepperpot9999. There obvious has been abuse of these links, and to stop that abuse, we blacklisted the domain. If there is damage to the business, then I suggest that you contact the original abusers of this link. That other links are not blacklisted means that they did not get abused. The blacklist is to prevent damage to wikipedia, and that is what is done in this way. Having the link on the page does not boost rankings in search results (nofollow tags and such), so that is not a criterium. In this way you argue that the people who were originally abusing the link were actually helping your cause. We are not an advertising medium. --Dirk Beetstra T C (en: U, T) 16:29, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
Declined per Beetstra. --Herby talk thyme 07:15, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Tu n'as rien compris : un utilisateur demande des références nécessaires dans un article. Et toi, tu viens, avec tes gros sabots "remover" la référence nécessaire quand on l'ajoute. N'importe quoi !
- This was blacklisted after the bot report. The link doesn't meet the requirements for sources, and you've been linking it aggressively (even after being reverted) on many wikis. Until it's shown that this link benefits our projects, I don't think we should de-list it. — Mike.lifeguard | @en.wb 17:10, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
The bot report is aggressive. This link is not a spam, is not commercial. This link is demanded for proof ("needed references, blablabla....). The photos are only on this site and are valid for 30 countries.
- I'm afraid it doesn't matter whether it's commerical or not. We do link to commercial sites regularly, and it is certainly possible to spam the domain of a non-profit, for example. As I've stated, there was excessive linking by a single user across many wikis, and the domain was blacklisted to prevent further abuse. To de-list it, I would want to see some indication that it would benefit our projects to link to the site. I have yet to see such an indication, since it seems not to be a reliable source. That said, if some experienced user reviews the site and determines that it is a good source, that would be a strong reason to de-list it. Thanks. — Mike.lifeguard | @en.wb 14:51, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
- Declined per Mike. --Herby talk thyme 07:13, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
"it seems not to be a reliable source." : laughing ! "That said, if some experienced user reviews the site" : re-laughing ! I modified English Wikipedia when it had 170,000 articles. Censored link.
WikiJava.org
wikijava.org
Please remove the domain wikijava.org from the blacklist. WikiJava is a wiki about Java, it contains any kind of information about the programming language and all the related technologies. It is an important external link for Java_(programming_language). People interested in getting more information about Java will definitively appreciate this link.
Thanks, --Dongiulio 10:54, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
Furthermore its entire contents are as written with the GFDL license as WikiPedia. I think the blacklisting should be removed. Thanks, --Hedoluna 10:56, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
- I'm afraid the domain was spammed, as clearly shown in the bot report. Furthermore, I belive it fails WP:EL (can't double-check right now, as the site is down), so I can't even recommend that you seek whitelisting. — Mike.lifeguard | @en.wb 15:26, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I spammed the domain because I didn't know about the spam policies. I should have checked first, I'm sorry, now I am aware of the rules and I'll act in accordance.
I believe that links to WikiJava would be a benefit for Wikipedia for, in depth, techy information about Java topics. For example in the following articles (I had to break the links because of the spam filter):
- Wikipedia:Singleton_pattern#Java should contain a paragraph including the http://www. wikijava.org/wiki/Singleton_Factory_patterns_example which is a new (GFDL)implementation, that enables to make a singleton out of any object.
- Wikipedia:Apache_Maven could contain a link to http://www. wikijava.org/wiki/Starting_a_Java_project_with_Maven_2, which contains an explanation on how to run a first Java application in Maven.
- Wikipedia:Generics_in_Java could contain a link to http://www. wikijava.org/wiki/Unchecked_Variables_tutorial, which clearly shows how generics should be used and which errors to avoid.
- Wikipedia:Reflection_(computer_science) could contain a link to http://www. wikijava.org/wiki/Class_and_static_Method_Reflection_example, which contains an example of implementation of the reflection in Java.
- Wikipedia:Java_Cryptography_Extension (referred on Wikipedia by 7 articles but it doesn't even exist. - I plan to write it) could contain a link to http://www. wikijava.org/wiki/Secret_Key_Cryptography_Tutorial, which shows how to use the Java Cryptography Extension for a simple secret key encryption message exchanging tool
I could continue this list, Also considering that WikiJava will soon contain complete categories with in depth details about all the topics about programming which an encyclopedia can't cover at the same level of detail.
I believe WikiJava matches the WP:EL that you mentioned. In particular in the What to link section all the three points are met. In the What should be linked section the points three (amount of detail) and four (meaningful, relevant content) points are met. In the Links normally to be avoided point 12 (links to open wikis without substancial background) looks like a measure to grant the credibility of the information provided and WikiJava has absolute credibility since its contents are 100% verifiable by anyone by simply compiling and executing the code published.
I don't know why the website was down for you, that shouldn't have happened. I hope you'll get to the site the next time you'll attempt to. Please let me know if you get more problems accessing it.
Thank you, --Dongiulio 10:12, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
- There was definitely reason to blacklist this URL. However, if it's as useful as you say it is established Wikipedia editors will want to link to it at some point and request removal. Until that time I see no reason to actually remove it from the list. --Erwin(85) 20:13, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
I thought we were _all_ editors in WikiPedia. I'm asking the removal, too. --Hedoluna 13:23, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
Hedoluna and Dongiulio, the link was clearly spammed (and as you both are new accounts, here and on en; Dongiulio even added the link on en; and both have on these wikis no further edits than concerned this link), and added to inappropriate places (we are not a linkfarm and such). I suggest that you both seek contact with a wikiproject (for en, see en:Wikipedia:WikiProject, or look on some talkpages of pages where you think the link is of interest, the wikiprojects have often a banner on top of those pages; other wikis have similar systems), and ask editors there if they think the link is an asset.
People always skip the intro of en:WP:EL ("... If the website or page to which you want to link includes information that is not yet a part of the article, consider using it as a source for the article, and citing it..."), but always jump to en:WP:ELYES. They also forget the policies that are the basis of that guideline (e.g. sections in en:WP:NOT). We are writing an encyclopedia here.
Yes, we are all editors here, but if there is abuse, we ask editors who have been around for a longer time (established editors) and see if they think the information is appropriate. I am sorry, but until such time, again, Declined. --Dirk Beetstra T C (en: U, T) 14:22, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
scififantasyfiction. suite101. com
I wanted to use this article as a reference, but it is blacklisted. Where can i find out why? I would guess it was added to random SF pages as an external link, but it is still a reliable source for referencing. Can it be delisted? I cannot even insert it here for this request!
Troubleshooting and problems

This section is for comments related to problems with the blacklist (such as incorrect syntax or entries not being blocked), or problems saving a page because of a blacklisted link. This is not the section to request that an entry be unlisted (see Proposed removals above). |
archive/log searching
Hi!
1. How should the spam archive search be used? At the moment I can't get any results. Is it broken (and has this something to do with our recent archive movings)? If so, perhaps we should link to a google-search as an interim.
2. Is this tool searching the archive only or logs too? What about my log-search-tool [7]? Should it be transferred on our toolserver or may it remain where it is? I suppose to place a link to that tool on this page near the archive-search-tool.
3. I just had a look at [8] and saw that the archive is inconsistent now. What should we do with that? I guess it should be somehow consistent because search tools could depend on that. -- seth 15:20, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
- The search tool is hopefully not dependent on how the archives are named. I can get results currently though (and I could get results when we used the subpage convention). This is tied to your third question. Pathoschild is enamoured with his "Standard archival system". However much I hate it, to keep the peace we should all do what he says and use the YYYY-MM convention. sigh
- The archive search tool only searches archives. I'd be happy to see your log search tool run on the toolserver; you can request an account at TS/A.

- 1. Ok, but ehm, if I search for "mustangranch.com" I want to find Talk:Spam_blacklist/Archives/2008/01#mustangranch.com, but I find nothing. What am I doing wrong?
- 2. TS/A#de:user:lustiger_seth
- 3. So shall we leave this like it is? and what about that?-- seth 17:07, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
- Subpages for the logs should not be changed (consistency with that was the reason I had moved the archives to subpages too, but Pathoschild didn't like that). I'll move the remaining subpage archives, and delete redirects wherever possible. — Mike.lifeguard | talk 22:35, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
- Perhaps someone should look at the source code for Eagle's tool, or if he's around, someone should ask him. — Mike.lifeguard | talk 22:32, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Discussion
Local spam (seeking local volunteers)
Similar to the XWiki catching of domains, the linkwatchers (the off-wiki bots that do the actual parsing of the diffs and extraction of external links; reporting the results to IRC) also catch local spam. Until a couple of days that just resulted in on-IRC remarks, but I have now made the bots save that data to off-wiki files on the computer where they run on (data is saved 'per wiki, so a file for en.wikipedia.org, a file for de.wikipedia.org .. etc.'). They tend to catch new links added by users who focus on one link/domainhost, links only added by IP accounts and links that are added by a small range of IPs(they report only when they pass the threshold and not again, what happens after that will have to be retrieved from local searches or with the help of COIBot).
The information there is pretty sensitive, and I think that it is not suitable for unfiltered on-wiki publication; it does contain quite a percentage of good links, and good editors, which I think have to be removed by hand. However, from a list of 80 links from a report on en.wikipedia I did add over 30 to en:User:XLinkBot (and some rubbish might just have to go directly to the local or meta blacklists). I have made the filter a bit stricter, but it will probably still contain quite some good stuff.
If local admins are interested in having a copy of the data, then please give me a sign (maybe I should make a list somewhere, say User:COIBot/Local or something like that) where people can give their username, a link to a wikipedia e-mail page, and which wiki(s) you'd like to have the list from. I will then try, on a 'regular' basis, to send that list to those editors (bit depending on size and how many volunteers per-wiki, etc., but I am thinking once every so many days; I might in the end even try to write a bot to perform the mailings). --Dirk Beetstra T C (en: U, T) 11:21, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
(Please feel free to notify local editors on local noticeboards or appropriate talkpages if you feel that that may result in volunteers who are not active on meta, but who may be interested.) --Dirk Beetstra T C (en: U, T) 11:33, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
- You know Beetstra, I'm interested. I will notify some Spanish Administrators if they are interested on.
