    These three ips appear to be the same editor. There's no response to any of the warnings or edits except to add the link back. --Ronz (talk) 16:55, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    I would have blocked these but you've given them all a final warning since the last spam so we'll have to wait any return again. --BozMo talk 17:20, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Now's your chance. 81.155.175.6 added it again to the same four articles. --Ronz (talk) 16:52, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Blocked the user for 48 hours. Hope they respond. --Dirk Beetstra T C 16:58, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    If it's bad enough to block, then it's bad enough to blacklist. Plus blacklisting stops it once and for all. --A. B. (talk) 18:37, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Fantasy Basketball Federation

    • Seeking a local blacklist on the site. User:75.42.72.220 does make plenty of good edits but seems to believe that there is a right to drop the link to his basketball league on Fantasy basketball because he contributed material to the article. Open directory link has already been placed on the page. Will leave one more comment at the user's page. Montco (talk) 17:54, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    There's where you are wrong, it is not our intention to "advertise" for our page, it is a valid Fantasy Basketball link. As is the more appropriate DMOZ FB Leagues page. If that is the case then the external link to NBA Fantasy Games is "advertising" for NBA.com and is an inappropriate link as well. Further, which I have stated will document in edits, much of the material provided by us initially. Please read the discussion page, as I will be editing the page back to it's premorphed & more relevant/pertinent version to Fantasy Basketball players and people who have an interest in that subject (ie: people that would actually use the page for their benefit). I will also be adding back many External Links that I feel are pertinent to the issue, again that are in the best interests of the people who would use the page/article, which I had planned on doing next week (see discussion page) but will move up that timetable. I may be mistaken, but from your comments it would appear as though this is not an area of expertise for you and therefore do not have an accurate understanding of what the average person who is interested in thsi subject would find useful. Although your comments and intensions behind policing Wiki are well intended, they should be directed to areas which you have a more accurate understanding as to what may or may not be pertinent. (FBF Commish) —Preceding unsigned comment added by FBF Commish (talkcontribs) 18:16, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Dear FBF Commish. The problem is here that you do have a conflict of interest. Though it is then not forbidden to add such links, or to edit such documents, it is strongly discouraged. If there are concerns about (one or more) of your edits, I would advice you to only participate in a discussion on the concern on the talkpage of the pages (or on the page of a suitable wikiproject), and when there is consensus on the talkpage that then an uninvolved editor makes the edit/adds the link.
    As I see this now, I am afraid that a link to a specific leage on a page with the larger context would not be according to Wikipedia:External links. The two subjects are not directly linked. Your link would be suitable on the page about the specific leage itself; here there should be links pertaining the subject 'Fantasy Basketball Federation'. I hope this explains. --Dirk Beetstra T C 18:52, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Specifically External links policy on Advertising and conflicts of interest states You should avoid linking to a website that you own, maintain or represent. If the link is to a relevant and informative site that should otherwise be included, please consider mentioning it on the talk page and let neutral and independent Wikipedia editors decide whether to add it.--Hu12 (talk) 18:58, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    I am someone who is not only a credentialed member of the press but a Fantasy Basketball insider and it is (or rather was, as per Gwernol & Acdixon I am no longer allowed to edit this page/ article or I will be banned and blacklisted) my intention to revamp (return to form) this page to better inform and contribute to Fantasy Basketball players knowledge and enjoyment of the game including 1) sources that are and have historically been useful in informing Fantasy Basketball players (for which I have a list of external links to which I have a vested interest in none), 2) Varied league types, formats, guidelines, and settings (which I had originally in the article with no links but for some reason have over time also been deleted), and 3) Lists and Suggestions of "How To's", etc of running, joining, or playing in a Fantasy Basketball league (again with no external links in this area). However I have been informed that it is not relevant for Wiki purpose that active as well as potential or interested Fantasy Basketball players have access or be made aware this information. I will admit that I do have a vested information in the FBF page/site, however it also contains valid (and Free) information and aids to Fantasy Basketball players to which cites are relevant. I have not edited any pages on the "Boer Wars" for example, as I am not knowledgable enough in the area to be qualified to do so, yet in this area I feel quite qualified as to what is useful & informative to active and interested Fantasy Basketball players. The current External Links to DMOZ is not particularly relevant as they (DMOZ link) have become quite outdated as well a number of them are no longer valid which is not beneficial to anyone, and the "advertising" link to NBA.com's Office Fantasy Games would more appropriately be directed to NBA the news source. It was my understanding that part of Wiki's function or purpose was to "inform" and "educate", however I have been advised by Acdixon that "The point is not to be an aid to fantasy basketball players". Please advise ---FBF Commish--- —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.42.72.220 (talk) 20:30, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

    The advice for you is clear. You may not add this link to Wikipedia, as it is against clearly agreed policies. You can suggest it on the talk page and see if another editor adds it, that's all. Wikipedia seeks its aims only in a manner consistent with the policies which overall protect those aims. Please don't be tempted to invent another account to add the links either. --BozMo talk 20:41, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    I just want to be clear, no links to any sites whatsoever even though I have no vested interest, DMOZ link is the desired link (even though only 20% of their links remain active), and the purpose of the article cannot be to aid or educate active or potential Fantasy Basketball players. --- FBF Commish --- —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.42.72.220 (talk) 20:55, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Editors following this discussion may also be interested in the related discussion on the article's talk page. Acdixon (talk contribs count) 21:28, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    As Wikipedia, dmoz can also be altered via user input. May I suggest that you contact them for that? Thanks. --Dirk Beetstra T C 17:05, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    I started to blacklist the planetebook.com domain but then noticed the time sequence at User talk:Richardcrocker1:
    • The editor made a sequence of link additions between 02:05 and 02:14, then 4 escalating spam warnings within seconds of each other at 02:15 were left on his talk page. He completed an edit at 02:16, made no more edits and was blocked 2 minutes later. It's likely he was unaware of any of these warnings until he saved his 2:16 edit.
    He received one spam warning in 2005 but nothing else since then. --A. B. (talk) 19:50, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    He added 110 links in his sole contribution to Wikipedia: [1]
    Should we start watching all 110 urls? What warning should he be given? --Ronz (talk) 17:31, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    I spot-checked about 20 of the domains -- they're all hosted at 203.215.156.35 and are associated with an Australian company, ServCorp.
    Domain data
    I left a note on the IP's talk page. --A. B. (talk) 18:12, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Here's another Australian IP that Ronz recently tagged that added one servcorp.net link as well as a link on a different page to the seemingly unrelated brandnews.com.au domain.
    --A. B. (talk) 18:33, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Here's what I assume is the same editor adding back his list of links:

    What to do about RockReviews

    I'd like to have a bit of advice for this. Wikipedia:Most wanted articles currently lists RockReviews as one of the most linked-to non-existent articles. This is solely due to the work of Wiki4U (talk · contribs) who has added infobox links to the reviews from this website. However, I strongly doubt that the website itself can be considered as a significant reliable source and of course, since Wiki4U has made no other edits than these, there's a clear spam concern. The irony is that if someone were to create the article, it would probably end up being deleted because it falls quite short of the expectations of the relevant guideline. So what's the right move here? Remove all the links? Remove all mentions of RockReviews? De-link RockReviews so that it stops being a most-wanted article? My own take on it is that we should just remove all 79 reviews since they are insignificant but I'll be happy to have second opinions. Thanks, Pichpich (talk) 20:23, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Not getting much response here... So I'll just take out all the links. Feel free to let me know if you think this is a bad idea. Pichpich (talk) 04:46, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    It seems John robot (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)'s main purpose is to add links to www.lankamediatalk.com. Is there an automated way to automatically revert all of this account's edits of today? Sebastian (talk) 20:58, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    This was spammed to various WWE related articles and News, so far only one xwiki spam on fr.wiki - but they have high potential for abuse.

    These ip addresses are registered to nstein.com, and have both been given final warnings for spamming nstein.com. 206.162.145.2 has now spammed the link again to two articles. --Ronz (talk) 00:15, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    whatbird.com again

    Some new additions that are being reverted when deleted by bot --Abert's Towhee. Some of the abuse may be traced to this closed/cancelled job with some familiar names: http://www.rentacoder.com/RentACoder/misc/BidRequests/ShowBidRequest.asp?lngBidRequestId=852939 . This article is listed as the "sample" page that bidders should add links to. Flowanda | Talk 18:16, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    In the event this is deleted I'm adding the quote for Add Links to Web Pages Bid Request Id: 852939

    Add links to wiki pages

    This may sound complicated but it’s actually very simple.

    Wiki pages: The pages to add the link to are the wiki pages which cover the birds of North America. A list of the names of all birds is attached to this job description. You can find any bird on the wiki by entering its name into the wiki search box: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

    Here is an example for one bird page:

    Abert’s Towhee

    Link From: Find this bird on the USA wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abert's_Towhee

    Link to: Find the page to link to for this this bird using this search engine:
    http ://identify.whatbird.com/mwg/_/0/attrs.aspx

    The URL for the page is thus

    http ://identify.whatbird.com/obj/1011/_/Aberts_Towhee.aspx

    This is the link that will go in the Abert’s Towhee wiki page, at the bottom in the area called External links. To access the area for the link you click the Edit link on the right of the External Links box.

    Form the proper link for the Wiki as follows (use notepad):

    • + [ + to link + “Whatbird” + bird’s name + “Song and Range Map” + ]

    So for the Abert’s Towhee example the link would look like this

    • [http ://identify.whatbird.com/obj/1011/_/Aberts_Towhee.aspx WhatBird Abert's Towhee Song and Range Map]

    You do not need to be registered to Edit the Wiki page.

    You can show me you understand the job by modifying one wiki page and sending me the link in your reply. That will show me you understand the job. If the page on the wiki has the link already please don’t add a second one, find another bird.

    Interesting case.
    Goofy166 appears to be the same user as the user on rentacoder (goofy166 on rentacoder); User Veeksha is also active there (Veeksha on rentacoder).
    I am providing some extra advertisement for the whatbird.com here and here. --Dirk Beetstra T C 19:29, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    I started a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Computer science#codeuu.com regarding this site, which I consider to be a spammer and a copyright infringer. More contributors to the discussion would be welcome. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:17, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
