Proposed Additions

spreekillers.org

Was directed here from AN. All details can be derived from my initial posting at WP:AN.

I would appreciate inclusion of this link on the blacklist. User:Dorftrottel 10:03, January 18, 2008

 Additional information needed This could qualify as an attack site, however seems it references (and links to) Bio articles on Wikipedia about spreekillers. I've only been able to find 2 users editing;

Spammer's contribs:

Only one warning has been given (& template ones would be better) so this does not seem to warrant blacklisting at present unless there is continuing link placement - thanks  Not done --Herby talk thyme 13:24, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

groups.yahoo.com

Several different accounts including IP editors keep adding yahoo group spam links to the Shane Diesel article, and other articles are using yahoo groups forum type sites for references, which do not qualify per WP:SPS

I doubt even 1% of our Yahoo groups links meet either of our relevant guidelines (External Links or Reliable Sources) however we have over 5000 of these links. Blacklisting them would cause tremendous disruption until all the links were removed, a very labor-intensive process for somebody. Not only that but some of the several thousand editors that placed these links would get pretty annoyed unless we had gotten some community consensus to take this step first. I suggest possibly raising this at the Village Pump first. That, or if you just have specific subdomains you want blacklisted, we could blacklist just those subdomains. --A. B. (talk) 23:00, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Squelch it, I'd say. MER-C 07:54, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Since Myspace has been black listed I honestly thought doing the same to yahoo groups would be just as easy as a decision, but if that's not currently an option the address that keeps getting spammed on the article above is groups.yahoo.com/group/shanediesel CrazyRob926 (talk) 18:17, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
CrazyRob, I think it's a good idea but a big undertaking. In the meantime, I'll blacklist the subdomain. --A. B. (talk) 18:50, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Done --A. B. (talk) 20:41, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I agree AB, but groups.yahoo.com needs to be done at some point. --Hu12 (talk) 20:42, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

ghthesoap.com

From here, "All information displayed on the site is fan driven."

On November 4th of 2005, an anonymous IP added these links to a string of articles, including WP:BLP, blatantly engaging link-farming. [11] [12] [13] [14] [15]

Dating from 2005 I don't think blacklisting is appropriate. There is no current disruption to Wikipedia - thanks  Not done —Preceding unsigned comment added by Herbythyme (talkcontribs) Jan 30, 2008

Referral links for Play-Asia

Hey everyone! I am really tired of removing Play Asia referral links. Users add them to articles like common "links", and then convert them to referral by exchanging it. Take 70.79.75.250 (talk · contribs · WHOIS), for example: his typo fix is actually converting a Play-Asia plain link (which in itself is spam) to a referral link (links that start with play-asia.com/SOap are referral, those starting with play-asia.com/paOS are plain ones). Since these referrals are easy to catch and are not unique (for any referral link to a page there is a plain link going there) I suggest blacklisting play-asia.com/SOap. There are many other referral sites as well, but these are easy to catch (not like Amazon ones). -- ReyBrujo (talk) 04:16, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The IP mentioned appears to have ceased - are there any others involved? Thanks --Herby talk thyme 13:25, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done on Meta now --Herby talk thyme 08:12, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with this. Is play-asia.com/paOS the same? this link →www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-83-r2q-71-43-77-c-15-tales+of-84-j-70-iuz.html redirects to →www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-43-77-c-49-en-15-tales+of-70-iuz.html..?--Hu12 (talk) 11:59, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

www.100megsfree4.com - fairly urgent request

I was about to go to this external link provided on a Wikipedia article when my avast! anti-virius program picked up on this site sending a computer worm through my computer. While avast! stops it from harming my computer, I can't say the same for other editors of this site. If it wasn't for avast!, this worm would have been untraceable, for a while at least. — Save_Us 18:00, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Urgently  Done, we'll sort the rest later. thanks Save Us 229! Any way to post a log? thanks for alerting--Hu12 (talk) 18:37, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
My avast! program deleted the temporary internet file instead of adding it to the virus 'chest' for a log, so I would have to visit the site to produce results again (and after I visited it last time the virus catching was so frequent I had to disconnect my network cable to stop the infection and restarted my computer). It is pretty vague but the last time I visited the site a year ago maybe and back then the content was fairly legitimate, but then again, my computer completely crashed from virus infection (I think I know why now >.>). — Save_Us 18:49, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
And if you were wondering if I could get a log of the Malware or anything like that, all I know is that it was called a VBS:Malware-gen, a malicious visual basic script file, under the classification of worm/virus, and the name of the file. I wish avast! had more accurate logs, but thats all they gave me. — Save_Us 22:19, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm inclined to leave this on untill more is determined. information Administrator note this hasn't been logged yet.--Hu12 (talk) 22:30, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard#VBS:Malware-gen_reported_on_100megsfree4.com also reported this to AN for input. --Hu12 (talk) 22:39, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know about you, but I got no infection. I sandboxed Firefox to see what it did and nothing happened and I sandboxed Internet Explorer 7 and got nothing. I looked at the HTML and couldn't find anything malicious. x42bn6 Talk Mess 22:53, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Could it be an outdated version of avast!? Apparently on the 25th of January Avast decided to mark e-tracker code on websites as that virus. But that was fixed shortly thereafter. Agathoclea (talk) 23:34, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, apprently I'm a idiot with out-of-date software. :( Please, unblacklist it as a false positive. — Save_Us 23:45, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds like a false positive. It's no longer listed. Always better to be safe than sorry. Thanks. --Hu12 (talk) 00:06, 9 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Meh, still dont make feel any better about it, but I guess I did what I should have. — Save_Us 00:10, 9 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
have all the linkremovals been reverted? Agathoclea (talk) 09:26, 9 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I reverted myself and when I told someone else they started to remove them too, but after the false positive was reported, he reverted too. Not sure if there are any others. If so it is only one or two. — Save_Us 15:29, 9 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Likely a bot (or multiple bots) working from a rotating IP (making communication nigh impossible). Primarily targets Monomyth, but also hits related articles occasionally. I found a few non-enWiki links, but they were sparse enough I don't think the meta blacklist would be necessary. Semi-protection on Monomyth was attempted, which worked while it lasted, but I believe this will be a better long-term solution. --Infophile (Talk) (Contribs) 19:19, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for bringing this here. This is cross-wiki spam, so it needs to be blacklisted on Meta-Wiki at m:Talk:Spam blacklist. Let me do some digging around on this one. --A. B. (talk) 21:45, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Alright. Aside from the French link I sampled above, I found a couple of others on languages I didn't recognize when link hunting yesterday (and forgot to write down what they were, mea culpa). Don't know if there's an easy way to check for that now that they're gone, though. --Infophile (Talk) (Contribs) 21:53, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Don't worry about it -- thanks for cleaning up.

Note: There are numerous other domains registered to Carteret Mortgage c/o its main office in Virginia. The spammed domains are all registered to one of their regional mortgage offices in the Carolinas (Lake Wylie, SC/Charlotte, NC). For now, I have just blacklisted the domains directly tied to that office. if there's more spam, we can expand the blacklisting to include everything.

Why was this link blacklisted? It contains no spyware or malicious intent. It is free speech. It contains useful information for anyone who is passionate about the Arsenio Hall Show and would like to do something about it using the democratic process. It lived on the Arsenio Hall Show page as an "external link." Now it has been both removed and blacklisted. Would love an answer. Thank you

I took a look....it clearly isn't a "reliable sources" link, nor is it trying to be. It is an external, relevant link. Which passage of the External Sources page are you basing your arbitration on? And again, blacklists are for spam it seems. A petition online link is not spam, is it?

bowsershrine.com

This domain was blacklisted awhile ago. I had mistakenly added some of my own domains, which I didn't at the time realize was against the rules. I now do, and I'm sorry for doing so. Anyway, this domain was blacklisted, which is unfair since it is not my site. I understand that my domains are blacklisted, I broke the rules, rules I didn't realize, but I still did. bowsershrine.com should not be blacklisted though. I did add it too the Bowser page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bowser_%28Nintendo%29 because it has relevant content relating to that page. But I do not own or run that site, and the owner of it should not be punished for my mistake. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.64.112.59 (talk) 01:38, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

www.journalreview.org

JournalReview.org is a non-profit, free, academic, educational resource which I - as well as about 7000 other physicians and health care professionals internationally participate in. The site allows participants to discuss published medical literature with colleagues. Anyone is able to read the data and discussion posted on JouranlReview.org. Participants can annotate citations by adding metadata beyond what the abstract offers. This allows authors to suplement their work, respond to questions, and alows researchers to gain ideas on how future efforts may be directed to help expand a field. The site charges no fee to use, and shows no advertisements. Please re-consider your position on this site. It has been included on Wikipedia since at least 2005 without objection. The resources has been discussed in several peer reviewed publications, including this one EBMdoc (talk) 03:46, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Clear evidence of spam abuse See WikiProject Spam report. Typically, we do not remove domains from the spam blacklist in response to those who participated in the spamming of the link. Instead, we de-blacklist sites when trusted, high-volume editors request the use of blacklisted links because of their encyclopedic value in support of our encyclopedia pages.
If a specific link is needed as a citation, a trusted, high-volume etablished editor can request it on the whitelist on a case-by-case basis, where the url can be demonstrated as a source (in an appropriate context) when there are no reasonable alternatives available--Hu12 (talk) 13:13, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your comments. I certainly understand why this link has a pattern that raises a red flag. I also understand that I am not a power editor... and that is why I am writing here. I am asking for help, and consideration from the more powerful in the wiki community to review. Please consider the following:
  1. Journalreview.org has raised a spam flag because it appears on several wikipedia pages, and was placed their by multiple users. Is that simply because it is notable?
  2. When a link to Journalreview.org was placed on a medical specialty site (ie: pediatrics) - I see that a link to the pediatric section of JournalReview.org was offered. This was contextually appropriate. The same holds true for other medical specialty pages the link had appeared on.
  3. The site is notable. It has been discussed and praised in peer reviewed literature. Citations to this notability have been provided.
  4. In review of the links that were removed, they do not seem to have been "pushed". That is to say, a user added the link... and the link was accepted or rejected by the community. And that was that.
  5. The link was never "loaded" or suggested more than once on a page. It seems to have been placed only in appropriate places within articles.
  6. There have been no new additions to journalreview.org in some time. Was the last link added in 2006?
  7. What is the value of blacklisting the domain? If you think the link is not appropriate, why not just remove the links, and let the wiki-community discuss the value openly? I understand why some domains may at times need to be 'blacklisted' to help protect wikipedia... but what is blacklisting journalreview.org protecting wikipedia from?
  8. Please consider that due to the participation in JournalReview.org from different specialty's of medicine, it would be reasonable to expect that those who use JournalReview.org in their specific specialty may offer a link on their specialty's wiki page - as they believe the site to be of encyclopedic importance to medicine. Is that spam? Isn't that exactly what happened here. Isn't that how wikipedia is supposed to work? Why wound one user (for example a pediatrician) who wants to add a link to journalreview.org's pediatric section to the pediatric wiki page think twice about doing so? Should they have known that two years later, because an ENT added a link to the ENT page, and a Dermatologist to the dermatology page that all links would be removed and the site blacklisted? For example, I'm sure that many articles related to medical topics have offered references over time to eMedicine. Are these all spam? Though content from eMedicine articles would better be incorporated directly into wikipedia... but eMedicine is not on the blacklist - nor should it be.
  9. This is not a request to put links back. That should be up to the community, and can be discussed on individual pages if members desire. Wiki's change every day - and over time - for the better. Maybe the links should be replaced... maybe they should not. All that I am asking is for careful consideration by more experienced and trusted editors than I of the decision that the link should not have been placed on the spam blacklist. I do not think that it belongs there.

Thank you for your consideration! EBMdoc (talk) 14:49, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Troubleshooting and problems

Problem with the blacklist: I want to use the db-copyvio speedy deletion tag to get an article deleted. The db-copyvio tag has as a parameter the url of the website which is being copied. The website being copied is a blacklisted one, ezinearticles. Oops, the spam filter kicks in. This is bad.--Xyzzyplugh (talk) 19:46, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm new to dealing with this blacklist, so I hope that this is the right place to report my problem and ask for help. Anyway, I want to report the basic facts about Fred Ho's cancer, and the best source seems to be a primary source written by Ho (which I'm using, properly, for only basic facts, not opinion or interpretation). Unfortunately, this source is a blog on MySpace (the guy's a musician, after all), which is blacklisted. At first, I tried to get around this by removing the "http://", but that looked terrible (in the {{cite web}} template). So instead I made a TinyURL, but that's blacklisted too (and it wouldn't be a good long-term solution anyway). Then I considered abandoning {{cite}} for a URL inside <nowiki>, but that doesn't work very nicely for the reader. Finally, I decided to link to non-blacklisted site that reprints the diary, but it doesn't seem to have an archive of back issues (so it's a decidely inferior resource). The diary (or some of it) is supposed to published as a book this year; but until then, what should I really be doing? (Note that I am an administrator, if that makes it easier for me to do things by myself.) —Toby Bartels (talk) 04:42, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

www.independencia.net

Hello, I am a long-time contributor into wikepedia (well, maybe not that long...only about 4 months, but I am proud of my contributions!) and attempted a contribution into the article "Boricua Popular Army" but was blocked as I attempted the SAVE. Wikipedia SAVE function complained that www.independencia.net was a spam site. I verified that the article did contain (prior to my contribution) a link to the www.independencia.net site.
www.independencia.net is the official website of a duly recogized political party in Puerto Rico. That party has been one of the 3 major political parties there for over 50 years. In surfing through the party's website I could not find anything that would violate wikipedia's policies. I request that the www.independencia.net link be removed from the global spam blacklist.

No edit box in the Spam filter notice

Why does the "Spam filter notice" not contain an edit box? This necessitates pressing the back button which in IE (I'm reluctantly using it at the moment) means all edits are lost. There's a possible way around it, to open the article in a new tab, remove the spam link, save it, and then hit refresh in the "Spam filter notice" window to resubmit, but this is a hack and we shouldn't be inconveniencing innocent users like this. (Has happened to me twice already today, once I was adding a new section to a talk page and couldn't save because the existing talk page had a blacklisted link it... like wtf?!) --kingboyk (talk) 14:13, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
