If you cannot find your remark below, it has probably been archived at Talk:Spam blacklist/Archives/2007/01 or Talk:Spam blacklist/Archives/2007/02.
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 (google.ca, not http://www.google.ca). Provide links demonstrating widespread spamming by multiple users. Completed requests will be marked as done or denied and archived. |
meatspin
Shock site, used in vandalism (example). The primary domain is meatspin.com, but others, such as meatspin.net, redirect to it, so anything with "meatspin" in the URL should probably be blacklisted. I could dig up more examples if you want, but I can't think of any legitimate reason to link to the site. --Slowking Man 11:53, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
- Is there any evidence of this link being spammed into Wikipedia? Are there more then one IP range currently doing this? Or, any evidence of cross wiki spam. Eagle 101 20:25, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
- It's a spam site (ad-mungous, bought by someone deliberately to exploit its viral propagation), and there has been endless argumentation about it on the talk of en:Shock site. Just zis Guy, you know? 22:47, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
- Has the argumentation reached consensus? What about other wikis? Eagle 101 02:32, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

- It belongs on the en:Shock site article, and cannot be blacklisted because it needs to be on that article. 69.117.252.186 03:28, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

- Not done. The spam blacklist is intended neither to resolve content disputes nor enforce censorship of inappropriate content. It should only be used to counter widespread, disruptive or malicious placement of links where administrator tools are insufficient to easily contain it. —{admin} Pathoschild 01:03:48, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Anyways, Meatspin already has several redirects and they are promising a new one every month.--71.203.147.175 13:51, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
reexamine.info
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Linksearch&target=www.reexamine.info&limit=500&offset=0 - the site is currently 404 but hosts copies of the Watchtower and other Jehovah's Witnesses publications, without any distinction between those that are in copyright and those that are not. Since copyright goes for a minimum of 50 years from the death of the author, a large number even from the 1920s may contain material still under copyright. We have had at least one OTRS complaint, ticket 2007021310020955, complaining about links to copyright material on that site. Just zis Guy, you know? 13:54, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
- There are 287 of these links on en.wikipedia. I suggest maybe leaving a note at en:Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Jehovah's Witnesses about the issue. I'm not sure who's going to delete these links; I suspect some deletions may be controversial, especially given that these are pages on religion.--A. B. (talk) 23:33, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
-
- Here's a long blog entry from April 2004 about the history of this site:
- The reexamine.info homepage consists of one sentence: "Closed for maintenance"
- Waybackmachine.org's archives for reexamine.info redirect to reexamine.org:
- --A. B. (talk) 15:32, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

- I just spotchecked one of the links -- notwithstanding the note on the homepage, the link worked (although it loaded at what felt like 14k modem speeds):
- www.reexamine.info/60s/g68_Oct_8.pdf
- Note: this is a 1968 publication still under copyright
- www.reexamine.info/60s/g68_Oct_8.pdf

- Given that it's under a DMCA takedown notice, and it's a dissenter's website being used as reference without explicitly stating that, I think it should be gone. Just zis Guy, you know? 21:19, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
- Has at least the english wikipedia been notified of this? en:Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Jehovah's Witnesses. Its not really spam, but yeah it seems to me to be suspect, but this is something that can be fixed just by talking things through and (possibly) removing the links. We have to remember that this list is not only for the english wiki. Eagle 101 22:02, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

What is the status of this? —— Eagle101 Need help? 18:10, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
- Definitely needs to go as a prolific violator of copyright (validated; not all are copyvios but it is clear they don't care), not sure whether it's counted as spam, though. Depends if you want ot be legalistic, I guess. Your call. Just zis Guy, you know? 20:52, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
http://*.orkut.com/Community.aspx?* and http://*.orkut.com/CommMsgs.aspx?*
A really large amount of users at Portuguese Wikipedia persists to insert spam links to yours on communities from orkut. This may stop it without block the entire orkut (like personal profiles from orkut at userpages). Examples: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] 555 16:44, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
- Ok, before I blacklist something like this (that may get a bunch of people upset), lets have a bit of discussion if this is a good idea or not... I welcome any input. Eagle 101 16:59, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
- I would recommend blacklisting and selective whitelisting Naconkantari 19:24, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

exoticindiaart.com
See this link search: en, de, es, loads of others. The /article links are generally OK, but the /product, /book and /painting ones are straight sales pages. I propose we blacklist /products, /books, /paintings. Or blacklist the whole site and we'll find better, non-commercial sources for the other data. Just zis Guy, you know? 13:12, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
- Ok JzG, looks like we have the following counts of links on 15 wikis:

- Is there an agreement to have this site removed on the following wikis? I would worry about getting agreement from the english, and Italian wiki before moving on with your idea. Eagle 101 20:28, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Shock site. Example. --Slowking Man 01:07, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
- Ok, I guess I need to ask this, do we have a standard to blacklist ever shocksite that we come across. As far as I have been thinking, I would just treat it as normal vandalism, unless we are getting multiple IPs or multiple wikis. I'm not sure though on what is appropriate for this, and I invite others to please comment. Thanks. Eagle 101 21:15, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

theigdb.com
Many different users (mostly IPs) have added links to this site on many videogame entries, for many months. Examples of users include [41],[42],[43], [44], and so on. These users seem to have no interest in improving Wikipedia, only to use it for traffic, in some cases even suggesting it is an official site. When I do a linksearch for theigdb.com, I come up with nothing, yet doing a regular search comes up with many articles which presumably have all contained links to the site recently.(Dreaded Walrus on Wikipedia)
- Mmm, let me think on this. —— Eagle101 Need help? 20:14, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
- Oh, and something I didn't think of trying previously:
- A Google search for theigdb.com -wiki has a grand total of 8 results, two of which are the official site, and another of which is thediscworld.co.uk, which appears to be the former location of the site. This number is dwarfed if we search only on Wikipedia, where even with the nofollow on, there are 27 separate results on User:Veinor's Link Count records. --212.139.17.187 17:15, 1 April 2007 (UTC) (en:User:Dreaded Walrus)
- Oh, and one more thing. I thought I should provide more links to the contributions of the people who have done almost nothing other than inserting those links (rather than just the four above), taken from the Link count pages:
- [45], [46], [47], [48], [49], [50], [51], [52]
- There could be more, as I didn't look through all of the pages, but that should give the gist of it. --212.139.17.187 17:33, 1 April 2007 (UTC) (en:User:Dreaded Walrus)
www.jobklub.com
This job web site has been extensively spammed to the English Wikipedia [53] [54] [55]; [56] (started on a smaller scale 30 March) Notinasnaid 11:27, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

More porn linkspam
A persistent porn linkspammer has once again been adding linkspam to another group of articles - his previous set of URLs were blocked here. The IP used each time is different so it's not possible to block him that way. The spammer Sites to block are bunnyluv.net , chantarose.net , harleydavis.net , joanneguest.net , karinschubert.net , kristarabarrington.net , krystaldeboor.net , leademae.net , nadianyce.org , tiffanymillion.net , veronicabrazil.org , victoriaparis.org , and xxxena.org.
Proof of persistence:
Bunny Luv: one, two, three, four
Chanta Rose: one, two, three, four
Harley Davis: one, two, three, four
Joanne Guest: one, two, three, four
Karin Schubert: one, two, three, four
Kristara Barrington: one, two, three, four, five
Krystal de Boor: one, two, three. four, five

Tiffany Million: one, two, three, four, five
Veronica Brazil: one, two, three, four, five

Last time around this idiot showed he'll just keep on mindlessly adding the links back into the articles, adding it 10 times to an article in one case. I'm not about to give him that luxury as my patience with him will evaporate long before the tenth reversion occurs. Tabercil 23:30, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

As is obvious from the name, this is an affiliate program for porn sites. Different IPs have been adding these links to en porn star articles for a while now, at a slow pace, but not giving up. However, when they started replacing porn stars' official sites with pornstarbucks.com it started to get really annoying. Given the nature of the program, I don't believe there will ever be any useful content from such sites, I think it's better to just blacklist the domain.

I regret having to be the bearer of news but it doesn’t seem to have slowed down. I do notice though that there seems to be a pattern (if you can call it that) where each account only makes two edits. The other languages which it was being spammed on before are not suffering anymore obviously due to the block, and there hasn’t been any attempts to get around the filter (ie “tnawrestling.com” edits without the http://) but things haven’t changed on the English Encyclopedia. Here are the newest contributions pages which I have came across, this time all on the English Wikipedia.

wikipedia review
Please blacklist *.wikipediareview.com on the English wikipedia. Harassment and outing site, used to primarily 'out' and publically research the IRL identities of Wikipedia editors and administrators. Currently blocking and harassment policies on en. say that linking to attack/outing sites is forbidden... and as one of the lead attack sites on Wikipedians there is no reason it should ever be linkable anyway. Sites current existence and function endangers the real-world privacy and safety of all of us. DennyColt 15:38, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
- I wholeheartedly endorse DennyColt's request. Anything that can reasonably be done to protect the safety of its editors should be of paramount importance to the Foundation. Oh, and please blacklist Daniel Brandt's site as well, for the same reason. ElinorD 16:32, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
- Strong support, per Denny's reasoning. Jayjg 16:45, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
- Strong support from me too. I've requested this before. The site libels people, not to mention the thousands of childish and hurtful insults, the attempts to out people, and the support for stalkers. There's never a legitimate reason to link to it because it could never be regarded as a reliable source for anything. SlimVirgin (talk) 16:59, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
- Agree that WR should be on the blacklist. It is against Wikipedia-en policy to link to this site. The least disruptive way to enforce this policy is to use the blacklist. Any other method draws more attention to the site and the edit thus defeating the underlying purpose of the policy. FloNight 17:44, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

- List of de.wikipedia links
- List of en.wikipedia links
- List of fr.wikipedia links
- List of he.wikipedia links
- List of nl.wikipedia links
- List of pt.wikipedia links
- List of pl.wikipedia links
- List of zh.wikipedia links
