OK, thanks for your answer. You are the master here. But I just want to say it is not a spam link as you say, it's good work. But I love Wikipedia even if you don't like my site at all.

And I apologize for all the trouble I cause you, sorry it was for a good reason, but you didn't understand. I wanted to make civilization talk together... with a "French touch".

I will do what you tell me to : that is to comment on the blacklisting talk page.

Bye and best regards from France. (I hope you are not too angry about me, I did it with GOOD FAITH).— Preceding unsigned comment added by Sanfrancisco31 (talkcontribs) 01:55, 4 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As a user, let me say that I find the Muppet wiki a very useful and impressive resource. It doesn't appear to me to be an inappropriate spamming; someone should be adding links to the wiki (as long as it's to appropriate articles), and why not the person who created it? It qualifies under WP:EL. I don't have an opinion on the other wikis being linked. THF 13:39, 4 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This seemed like a pretty straightforward case to me, but another user has gone to bat for the sites inclusion; see discussion here. OhNoitsJamie Talk 22:03, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Interestingly, I see the user uses a <span class="plainlinks"> in his remark to remove the 'external link' sign from the external links. In any way, were these links added to the wikipedia in a 'spammy' way, or in good faith by many different editors? If they give extra information, their inclusion may be OK. --Dirk Beetstra T C 22:52, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
This is a bit troubling also "Why Wikipedia doesn't want you to know about this site" posted on the root domain linking to his → www.fireworksland.com/html/wikipedia.html.
Wikipedia:Harassment#Off-wiki_harassment Harassment of other Wikipedians through the use of external links is considered equivalent to the posting of personal attacks on Wikipedia...off-wiki harassment can be grounds for blocking, and in extreme cases, banning. see also WP:NPA#Off-wiki_personal_attacks. We need no longer believe that these individuals on-wiki actions in adding these sites was in good faith--Hu12 23:28, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

microdermabrasioninfo4u.com and others on Microdermabrasion

This link gets pushed by a series of IPs. The last addition was accompanied by the remark "link added back in - excess income donated to wiki by site as not for profit spelling will be checked and more chains will be added". The page Microdermabrasion seems to be a willing target for spammers.

I guess these are independent sets:

Harry Potter spam

I just cleaned up 17 high-traffic Harry Potter articles. All had referral links to an Amazon store, disguised as the official Amazon Harry Potter Store. Example diff: [121]

Please keep an eye on Harry Potter articles for affiliate spam, and please be careful of all Amazon links. Rhobite 23:40, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please linksearch for astore.amazon.com regularly, as nearly all of these links are spam except for the one from AStore (which needs cleanup). Rhobite 23:53, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tagged with {{notability}}. Only one reference that does not point to kiva.org. Could use some independent references. --Dirk Beetstra T C 15:35, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I added a MIX Market reference. Claiming Kiva is spam is a bit much. RichardF 16:36, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Here are some WP:SPA accounts that appear to have conflict of interests.

Have you even looked at the references? They're pertinent to the statements. RichardF 19:30, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I just scanned the above list for their contributions. I wonder if you did. They're basically relevant image uploads, factual updates (those spamolicous references) and copyedits. RichardF 19:40, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
No one has tagged Kiva as spam. This is a discussion page. So far it appears it does need more independent references, as it has quite a few self citing references. Some monotoring for COI edits may be needed, as those above accounts verify there have been WP:COI edits in the past.--Hu12 21:02, 3 August 2007(UTC)

This account has about 50 edits so far. About half of them are inserting various links to spam sites. He has made a few worthwhile contributions, for example to GS1. No helpful response to any of my comments to him that his links are unwanted. I assume that posting to WP:AIV is not appropriate since this is not strictly a spam-only account.

3rd opinion request

User Michael Pocock (talk · contribs) seems to exaggerate a bit in adding EL’s to his website (www.maritimequest.com), 513 now in total. Though there’s some clear WP:COI, most of the links seem to be on topic and the site doesn’t carry adverts. What would be the appropriate action here? Leave it be, inform the user about our policies and guidelines or cleanup? --Van helsing 06:36, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

{{uw-coi}} may be appropriate here. MER-C 08:31, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it’s the only thing he has done since June 2005, coinciding with the moment upon which is page view stats start to grow rapidly. He has also added links to websites of people mentioned on his website contributions list, to a lesser extent though, 46 EL's for bismarck-class.dk for example. --Van helsing 09:15, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
