sveti-stefan.net

Some anonymous user from different IP-addresses adds link to this site to Wikipedia (at least, English, Russian and Ukrainian), on en:Montenegro and related pages. -- Angryxpeh 21:03, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Examples:

[1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], and so on. -- Angryxpeh 21:07, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Done. —{admin} Pathoschild 03:49, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

freefind.com

Due to the way this search engine works, it seems you can restrict it to your site and also get it to display your ads/links in a frame around the returned search results, without either being obvious in the URL linked to. Only a couple of users doing this thus far, see here, but will probably get worse. It'd also be trivial to use this to get around the blacklist, like the URL shorteners. 66.196.41.211 20:18, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

The following discussion is closed: done

This is a pirate warez site located in Russia. It is an archive of copyright books for use on the Sony Libre e-book reader. It has been added and removed from Sony Librie EBR-1000EP many times now (see article history). It should be blocked. If not, could you please let us know at w:Talk:Sony Librie EBR-1000EP. Thanks! signed w:User:Stbalbach (72.83.243.49 22:35, 10 November 2006 (UTC))

Done. -- mzlla 20:59, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
Thanks, mzlla! Is there any way to scan across all of MediWiki to make sure it doesn't exist elsewhere (since it's a Russian site and the user has been unrelenting in adding it to the English WIkipedia I suspect it is probably elsewhere). Or are blocked sites auto-removed? Also, is there any way to prevent a user from adding the URL as plain text (without the "http://")? That seems to be the anons new strategy. -- 72.83.123.12 23:54, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
You can check individual projects with Special:Linksearch, but there's no way to check all projects yet. Blacklisted sites are not automatically removed, but pages with the link cannot be saved (so they're slowly removed as users edit them out). There's no way to prevent users from adding the link as plaintext. —{admin} Pathoschild 02:57, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

kunstmarkt.com

The following discussion is closed: done

www.kunstmarkt.com is a trader's website for art and shouldn't be allowed in articles. Currently there are 59 Weblinks to this Website in the german Wikipedia. Before I remove them, please add www.kunstmarkt.com to the blacklist, so I don't have to do it over and over again. Thanx --Hedwig in Washington 23:38, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

artnet.de

The following discussion is closed: done

it's a auction-search-site, no additional info. --Hedwig in Washington 08:41, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Not done. We aren't usually blacklisting some kind of sites, you should give us some evidence of how this domain has been spammed in some wiki. -- mzlla 16:20, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
I understand and appreciate your concern, so
here it goes: [16] 129 entries on de:wikipedia.
example: www.artnet.de/artist/579306/constantino-nivola.html deep-link, but still brings the login/sign up stuff on top of very poor information
is that ok so far? take care --Hedwig in Washington 22:46, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
Done per this, talk in my talk page and per an email query. There is consensus in German Wikipedia to block this site. -- mzlla 14:46, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
Sorry, if you want to provide visual information (e.g. John de Andrea), it would be silly to block artnet. In Germany, we have very strict copyright rules, so museums will not provide visual information because of high costs. artnet jumps in just as handy as Google does. Otherwise, you would expect users to be clever enough to find out themselves, like I did. (BTW, I circumvented your blockage by using artnet.com) --WernerPopken 14:07, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
WernerPopken, your opinion is exactly my opinion (I too come from Germany). Artnet sometimes is very useful, as you explained it. No login/sign up stuff is shown if links directly refer to a picture. Let's take the example given by Hedwig in Washington. Look: [http://www.artnet.com/picture.asp?date=19951114&catalog=3407&gallery=110879&lot=00173&filetype=2]. If important, the further given informations can be used as content of the link text. Example: [http://www.artnet.com/picture.asp?date=19951114&catalog=3407&gallery=110879&lot=00173&filetype=2 ''Two people in bed'', Bronze]. You can do the same way using other similar auction-search-sites. What do you think, Hedwig in Washington, can we agree to use artnet in this way? -- Archidux 16:09, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Unblock this page, please. While it is undisputedly a commercial site, it's not pure advertising. A lot of useful material is to be found there (and only there), like commented and sorted image galleries from contemporary artists, a database of galleries, museums and magazine articles. For someone like me who writes Wikipedia articles about contemporary artists, it's very useful. Also, there is no consensus for blocking this site, there are only a couple of individual users who are annoyed by it. Fb78 14:03, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Please unblock, in few cases we can use images from them, e. g. [:Image:Czarevich Alexei by Bernhard Christoph Francke.jpeg]] and citing the source is necessary. --84.177.66.169 19:22, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
Please excuse me replying so late, I'm not frequently on Meta. It's not that I'm annoyed, the point is that 129 (see above) links are way too many. Period. That's masslinking and it's not conform with the rules. If it's unblocked, there will be 100 or more within a couple days. I understand the problem the guys have and I really wish it would be different, but unblocking is not the right thing to do IMHO. We should find different ways (websites) to show pictures and the written information is not very useful and doesn't help on the topic. And(!) if you see the articles, I think, there's no need for weblinks, in many cases there's a need for more text. Many articles are just link containers. That's definitely not the meaning of Wikipedia. I strongly recommend to leave those websites blocked. --Hedwig in Washington 00:11, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Right... That's not the only page. See also: [22], [23] and [24]. I don't want to undelete all those pages (the last one has 145 deleted revisions). Protecting doesn't help, the spamer moves to other variants of "Forum dyskusyjne". stv ✉ 16:00, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

suite101.com

Links to this site have been spammed to at least 371 articles by multiple IPs. The site is essentially a blog site dressed in a suit - it consists of "freelance writers" submitting their own articles, none of which require sources or peer review of any kind (ie Original Research). They pay their editors based on page views, and encourage them to use SEO techniques to spam their articles across the web. See the relevant discussion on en at WikiProject Spam: [60]. AbsolutDan 15:46, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Done. -- mzlla 15:49, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi - my name is Peter Berger, I am representing Suite101. I would like to assure you we are not a spam site, but have contracted writers who we screen for content knowledge and writing skills. Our site is basically very similar to about.com (which is receiving a lot of references from Wikipedia); our freelance writers are experts in their field and we do not influence them how and on what they should write. As we correct any errors on our site whenever we find them, Suite101 is a safe site to refer users to. We have always been very proud that a lot of Wikipedia users found our articles worthwhile reference, so I think it is unfair to our readers and writers to simply blacklist any links to articles simply based on the fact they are hosted on our site. It would be great if you could remove suite101.com from the blacklist and those references be restored. Thanks for your help! Berger peter 23:20, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
I have nothing against removing from blacklist, but I think we should wait if there is formed consensus in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Spam#Suite101_dot_com -- mzlla 23:42, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
mzlla, thanks for your help. I am not sure if the debate is really about blacklists or rather about removing individual links as spam. Suite101 is an editorial site, hosts 90,000 original articles and has been live since 1996; many of our articles were original sources of reference for Wikipedia articles. Suite101 has not abused Wikipedia, neither has the vast majority of our writers. We have taken steps to ensure that all writers are aware of and conform with Wikipedia's submission rules. Could you advise us if there are any additional things we need to do to be removed from the blacklist? I would really like to avoid that readers insert links to articles on our site in good faith and are then being told they are "spamming" Wikipedia. Berger_peter 17:13, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
Will not be removed per [61]. -- mzlla 19:54, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Spammed new pages at the Sonikmatter Wiki.

See the following revision history's (note that these pages will be deleted in their entirity in about a week. They were previously empty, so deleting will remove the spam from the revision logs as well)

The Puppeteer 06:43, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Not done, that project seems not to be part of Wikimedia, so this is wrong place to discuss about spamming there. -- mzlla 06:54, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
Actually, simple search shows that this domain actively spams on MediaWiki sites, so it's worth blacklisting. Don't forget, this blacklist is shared among several thousands MediaWiki sites, though it's main purpose is protecting Wikimedia sites. MaxSem 19:23, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
Done then. Actually I don't think that we would need the content of these sites. -- mzlla 22:22, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
The sonikmatter wiki isn't part of Wikimedia, but we do use MediaWiki and up until we found this spam blacklist we had dreadful problems with Spam. We are very dilligent with monitoring content and changes to our wiki, and we do maintain a local blacklist in addition to the list here, so that we can halt any spam immediately.
We submit links to this list because any spammers hitting our wiki, are likely hitting other wiki's as well. We feel that the least we can do is to be active in submitting links that are causing us problems, because it will likely be helping out others. We try to submit these links in a format that makes things as easy as possible for you guys, with links to pages showing the spam. If there is anything further that we can do to make this easier, or if you would prefer that we didn't submit links to this page, please let me know here.
We appreciate the blacklist, and what you guys do here, to maintain it. We do our best to help, but we don't want to cause any problems.
The Puppeteer 02:30, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, no problems, we can add the spam links here. The only situation which may cause problems is situation when the site has some valid and useful use here in Wikimedia. -- mzlla 07:49, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Since this anonymous spammer have been warned on the talk pages associated with this IP, as well as on the article talk pages, but still persists with his behaviour, I feel that a blacklisting of this link would be appropriate. /Magore 20:10, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

judicial-inc.biz

This site is definitely not a reliable source for any information, since everything is so horribly biased it's sickening. It's also being spammed on Wikipedia (see [81] for example). They have also created an -inc.biz/wikipedia.htm attack page on Wikipedia which is very offensive. It should definitely be blacklisted. --Mets501 (editing as 71.113.129.200) 00:26, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

request one

Both http://www.18speedtranny.com and http://www.myspace.com/18speedtranny have been added to Stoner rock around once a day (maybe more) since July 17, 2006. It is almost never the same IP twice and not an easily blockable range (68.0.0.0/8 is the best I can figure). Small sample of the first couple weeks with the one URL: [84][85][86][87] (there would have been more in the two weeks but it was placed in a different part of the article and not spotted for a while). These are with the other URL and have been done just in the first nine days of December:[88][89][90][91][92][93][94][95][96][97][98][99]. Basically around 90-95% of the edits to the article are spamming and reverting of spam. Thanks. Wknight94 23:47, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Why temporarily punish all anons because of one anon spammer? Wouldn't it be better to "block" just the one moving anon that is causing the problem? Besides, this article has been sprotected in the past and the spammer simply returns when it's lifted. Wknight94 17:34, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

I got a whole mess of additions which I would like to add - over 280 links. I've been tracking an anonymous user who keeps adding links to Wikipedia that link to a set of pornstar photo sites that are presumably under his control. Given the length of the list I think it might be impratical to list then here, but the full list of items can be seen here on a sublink of my user page: en:User:Tabercil\Porn Linkspam.

Sorry. Didn't realize the format I used on the article made it difficult for you to find the spam links in question.

The following discussion is closed: IP range blocked

Hi. This spam is being added through ultrareach.com, an open proxy server deliberately set up to allow Chinese Internet users to bypass government Internet censorship. I'd like to avoid asking this IP be blocked; the alternative solution is to blacklist the milstd.net URL. The 45 edits to 37 articles made between 10 and 13 December in this user history are all spam edits, as are the 5 edits made on 4 December by this Ultrareach user. Some of these links were reverted multiple times. We presently have 34 milstd.net links in Wikipedia that I am reverting, but I expect to see more of this; past reversions have had little effect. --A. B. (talk) 03:26, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

I have added crm-on-demand.info and chinabi.org to this request. Another Ultrareach account added 5 links to this site on 10 December. If you look at the Google ads on both milstd.net and crm-on-demand.info, you can click on the "Advertise on this Site" link and it will take you in both cases to a Google page about using chinabi.org.--A.

  • Usage des liens externes Template:A: il fait de l'autopromo. Quand bien son site d'amateur serait pertinent (ce qui n'est pas le cas), ce n'est pas conforme aux principes déontologiques WP qu'il s'autopromotionne ainsi, sans peer-review (censurées à chaque fois par ce monsieur)

Not done. We can't deny only astore.amazon.com/chuvashiaportal, we should ban the whole astore.amazon.com, and I think it is not sensible. I would recommend that English Wikipedia bans the whole subnetwork 217.106.166.* - it might be the easiest solution. These other .ru-domains would be blacklisted, but I think that it is not needed if you ban the subnetwork in en.wikipedia. -- mzlla 13:09, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

In this case I think better solution would be contacting to htmlstaff.org administrators. I do not blacklist this site yet, because I can see some valid use for it. -- mzlla 20:52, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm not certain whether the site above is appropriate for blacklisting since it is currently under mediation Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2006-11-03 Starwood Festival and AfC therefore it's an ongoing thing. However I think it's worth bringing to your attention and consideration. Examples of what I consider external linkspam are: Wikipedia:Gilli Smyth with 3 separate links; Wikipedia:Paul Krassner 2 separate links; Wikipedia:Richard Kaczynski 1 link. Currently a search turns up 31 instances of the site on Wikipedia, down from a high of 120 a few weeks ago. The site is not strictly commercial but it is promotional.

      • You say "none of these sites seem to be working " .Really ????

They have always worked and they are working right now if you care to look. Why is criticism of Surrey Police or Met Police out of bounds , or are we speaking of one rule for them and one for "us" ?. The website content is true 100% or else by now they would have taken me to Court but they know they cannot. In fact the case it is based on has been recently restored by the Court of Appeal as you will read. So what wikipedia is saying is that it does not like to have ALL the facts good and bad about a subject but just the good ones !! Nice free speech .

At least 190 Wikipedia pages are linking to this who a user on the Wikipedia help desk (see link) claims installed a virus or spyware to his computer.

Done --Aphaia 18:45, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
Please undo this. First of all, the reference to the user's post isn't valid; it directs you to the top level of the help page. Secondly, I've visited the site and none of my spam blocker alarms went off - and I have several. And lastly, we have no evidence that it "also has copyrighted material that doesn't belong to them". That is an assumption, and is not borne out by the statements at the website:

"We do not allow the following:

  • hate propaganda, hate mongering, or fraudulent material or activity;
  • any material that violates or infringes in any way upon the rights of others, including, without limitation, copyright or trademark rights;
  • material that promotes, encourages, or provides instructional information about illegal activities;
  • any software, information, or other material that contains a virus, corrupted data, or any other harmful or damaging component;
  • sending unsolicited e-mail or any other type of spam containing any reference to your web site or account."
The site makes several anti-Microsoft statements; that is hardly a reason for blocking it. Absent any real evidence that the site is responsible for spam and/or is violating copyright, the fact that 190 or more pages at Wikipedia link to the site is something that shouldn't be blocked casually.

Hi. Surfbirds appears to have been added to the spam blacklist; however any of the bird articles editors over at Wikpedia will tell you that this is not a sensible idea - Surfbirds contains a large (& growing) amount of useful reference material which is of a nature appropriate to add to external links & references sections of articles.

mtgotraders.com

Please remove www.mtgotraders.com.com from the banned list. This site has many good articles for Magic the Gathering Online and is linked to often by Wizards of the Coast themselves. Site can be useful for MTGO(Magic the Gathering Online.

It seems to be listed per this request. I could be ready to unblacklist it, but I'd like to hear what others say. -- mzlla 19:01, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

While mtgotraders is hardly as "bad" as some other sites, and is in fact a quality website, the fact remains that they committed some fairly bad behavior previously, and did so zealously and constantly. The tactics used previously were disruptive, and by the time someone started to actually talk as opposed to simply aggressively revert, I had already submitted the blacklist request.

Ironically enough, I myself have more liberal standards for external linking than most. However, the consensus should prevail, and so far from edit summaries the consensus seems overwhelmingly against. I posted a topic on allowing mtgotraders and other sites over at en:Talk:Magic: The Gathering#MTGOTraders. It got no replies.

I have no problem with raising the issue again on the talk page, but there should be a clear consensus in favor before removing from the blacklist. 209.73.237.2 21:37, 6 November 2006 (UTC) (SnowFire on en)

I am the owner of mtgotraders and i'm pretty sure I know who did the reverting. He is a friend of mine and probably thought he was helping but in turn got my site blacklisted. I was not aware that he was doing this until I tried to post a beginners guide to MTGO that WOTC also linked to that shows a beginner the basics of MTGO with images/etc. If you could please unblacklist my site I would greatly appreciate it and feel free to ask WOTC themselves about my reputation.

I'm still waiting patiently to be removed. All of my articles are free and I have had at least 3 linked from WOTC articles so far. Please let me know what I need to do.

I want to be allowed to edit my user page in the German WP again. Listing relations to other/previous projects is imho a necessary piece of honesty. If that should be denied to me, I cannot continue editing in the German WP.

Btw., and completely unrelated, "Yes, they are commercial" is imho not a valid cause for generally prohibiting links to a website. There are ten thousands of links to commercial radio stations, car makers, airlines, newspapers, etc. in the WP. A very large proportion of kunstmarkt.com's web site is new reports, history stuff, and a knowlegde base on a pretty broad array of topics. Beyond that, they have artists bios, a wealth of photographed artworks, that I likely can imagine, WP-editors may find a valuable ressource for more in-depth reading. I have not checked a single such link, I only tell what I know from my previous work.

The whole wz.cz-domain is blacklisted, there is no specific reason why your subdomain should be. There is no talk page where is the reasons, and I would support this domain to removed from blacklist. However, we should discuss about it before removing.
If the page can't get removed you are able to request your subdomains whitelisting in local wiki. -- mzlla 22:07, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

We discussed it a while ago, and the result were local whitelists - the wz.cz domain is now whitelisted on the Czech Wikipedia. — Timichal 23:03, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I have seen that page already. I'm just thinking that why is the wz.cz -domain blacklisted, and could it be removed. If there are only some subdomains spamming I think that blacklisting these may be better solution. -- mzlla 11:28, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

I do not understand what shall I do, I just want to add my link to the site of Monica Potter in Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monica_Potter . If you know how, please do it, I do not know how. Thanks. Miro, webmaster of monicapotter.wz.cz

Salvador-Dali.net

ArtsMode Network is a legal company sited in Figueres, just front the Salvador Dali Museum and Foundation.

The company was created in 1989 and we are the owners of various artworks of Salvador Dali, including “La Toile Daligram”, which is reproduced in the home page of www.Salvador-Dali.net. This web site is mainly dedicated to “Dali-News” and essays about Salvador Dali, in part created by people who works for ArtsMode, like “Els tres P Mesons” which articles you can see in “Wide articles and essays” (if you decide to visit it). This website is the result of years of hard work compiling information (written information) about the world of Salvador Dali, and we are very proud about it, enough to consider that it is a very useful tool for Wikipedia people really interested in Salvador Dali who wants or need to consult as much information as possible. In that way, we try to place a link to this information in Salvador Dali places, including Wikipedia.

Is one of the most visited web sites related with Salvador Dalí. Dali News and wide articles and essays have a wide collection of articles about Salvador Dalí, his life, Gala, Museums, Surrealism, etc.

Can be considered the removal of the blacklist, please?

Thanks for your comprehension,

I asked blacklisting a few weeks ago, for repeated adding of the link to almost ALL the wikipedias. Link was provided with a babelfish translation of sth like "news about salvador dalì". Lots of diffs were provided, some were edit wars involving admins Vs anonimous. I got legal treaths from the owner of the site (who accidentally was the same who put the link. Whoops!). Twice. In a VERY aggressive way. The website do not host any valuable information that can not be found in any other more reliable primary source (like museum websites or official sites of the Dalì Foundation). Still can't see what kind of "news" you can provide about a dead painter... Moreover it is a commercial business, selling stuff vaguely related to Dalì artworks. The linked page was about a bag with dalì sketches on it, if my memory doesn't fail me.

Naconkantari has blacklisted the whole domain prv.pl, and we should ask his opinions too. Note that its removing is already discussed at [213], where it leaded no changes. Anyway, I would support removing, but I think we should wait other opinions too. -- mzlla 22:11, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

hematology.netfirms.com

While several netfirms addresses are named in the blacklist separately, this does not seem to be one of them, yet the spam filter blocks it. This is a legit site in Hebrew containing valid medical information. The links are also to legit sites, so I'm not sure why it's blocked. Odedee 21:09, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

The whole netfirms.com seems to be banned too by Naconkantari. You may ask unblacklisting it in User talk:Naconkantari or you can request whitelisting in your own wiki. -- mzlla 21:50, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

greatestjournal.com

Hi. GreatestJournal is a blog-hosting site where some celebrities described in Russian Wikipedia keep their blogs; for example, link to ru:Холмогоров, Егор Станиславович's list of works published around 2005 (the list itself is in a GJ posting) now gets filtered out of wiki. —Mithgol the Webmaster 05:52, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Not done. The whole Wikimedia does not need this site, so you have to request whitelisting in Russian Wikipedia. -- mzlla 12:30, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Daniel Brandt sites

The following discussion is closed: no way

I notice that the Daniel Brandt page on the English Wikipedia cannot link to his websites, which were placed on the Spam blacklist because they used to refer Wikipedians elsewhere. This was true the last time someone requested that these links be removed, but it is apparently no longer the case, and the discussion page for Daniel Brandt seems largely in favor of including traditional-style (rather than cut-and-paste) links. Though I just stumbled onto this article last night, I have to agree that actual links to pages like Wikipedia Watch and Google Watch would have obvious merit in this article. Though at least one user has argued that he "might do it again," i.e. redirecting our links elsewhere, I feel that a notice of his prior dirty tricks above the links is preferable to this accidental censorship via the spam blacklist. --Ourboldhero 17:20, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Request denied. Firstly, it's not "accidental censorship" - we are quite intentionally excluding his sites from being linked in Wikipedia. He's made it his mission to "out" as many administrators as possible by posting their personal information (in some cases, personal information of young children). I see no reason why we should allow his idiocy to be linked from Wikipedia. And yes, there's always the possiblity he'll do it again. Raul654 18:35, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

While his sites may be against Wikipedia, Wikipedia should provide the linkage. It seems "broken" to have the website address and not a hyperlink. Ndp2005goh 03:29, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

awardspace.com

'awardspace.com' is a free webhosting service. The typical website name is 'mypage.awardspace.com'. The fact that some 'alanburn.awardspace.com' did spamming, doesn't mean that all sites ending in 'awardspace.com' should be blocked. (30-11-06) Thank you.

There are many sites from awardspace.com that are used for spamming. Please request whitelisting particular subdomains on your local wiki. Naconkantari 18:25, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
Done. The whole service is not listed any more. I hope that the spamming doesn't start by other hosted sites, then we have to blacklist it again. -- mzlla 13:24, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
I tried including a link to my home page at awardspace.com on my user page at Wikipedia.org only to say it was still blocked. My page is at 'outrider.awardspace.com' 69.208.89.247 01:12, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
Yes, actually awardspace remains in blacklist. MaxSem 08:03, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
You should talk about this by Naconkantari. I would recommend removing awardspace.com from blacklist, but he does not accept it. Or the other way, ask whitelisting in English Wikipedia. -- mzlla 11:07, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
Not done A google search for awardspace.com returns many spam domains. Naconkantari 02:26, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

zuggy.wz.cz

This is the current official site of w:SubRip, the best subtitle ripping software. I have no idea why it is blacklisted. It may seem outdated (last News item is from June) but that's because SubRip is abandonware at the moment. It's the most reliable source for downloading SubRip. I think it's better to link here than to some random ad-ridden download farm where you don't know if what you get is the real thing or a trojan.--87.162.70.231 23:21, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
