Domain was added to blacklist just a few days ago, without any comment. Blocked by MER-C. This website was added to wikipedia by one of our competitors in order to get blacklisted in wikipedia. I've found the source that added my website to wikipedia without my permission and I can honestly guarantee that it won't happen again. Sorry for the inconvenience. |

Revision as of 11:29, 26 November 2017
MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist is a page in the MediaWiki namespace, which only administrators may edit. To request a change to it, please follow the directions at Wikipedia:Spam blacklist. |
Spam blacklists |
---|
Mediawiki:Spam-blacklist is meant to be used by the spam blacklist extension. Unlike the meta spam blacklist, this blacklist affects pages on the English Wikipedia only. Any administrator may edit the spam blacklist. See Wikipedia:Spam blacklist for more information about the spam blacklist.
There are 4 sections for posting comments below. Please make comments in the appropriate section. These links take you to the appropriate section:
Each section has a message box with instructions. In addition, please sign your posts with ~~~~ after your comment.
Completed requests are archived. Additions and removals are logged, reasons for blacklisting can be found there.
Addition of the templates {{Link summary}} (for domains), {{IP summary}} (for IP editors) and {{User summary}} (for users with account) results in the COIBot reports to be refreshed. See User:COIBot for more information on the reports.
If in doubt, please leave a request and a spam-knowledgeable admin will follow-up.
Please consider using Special:BlockedExternalDomains instead, powered by the AbuseFilter extension. This is faster and more easily searchable, though only supports whole domains and not whitelisting.
- Does the site have any validity to the project?
- Have links been placed after warnings/blocks? Have other methods of control been exhausted? Would referring this to our anti-spam bot, XLinkBot be a more appropriate step? Is there a WikiProject Spam report? If so, a permanent link would be helpful.
- Please ensure all links have been removed from articles and discussion pages before blacklisting. (They do not have to be removed from user or user talk pages.)
- Make the entry at the bottom of the list (before the last line). Please do not do this unless you are familiar with regular expressions — the disruption that can be caused is substantial.
- Close the request entry on here using either {{done}} or {{not done}} as appropriate. The request should be left open for a week maybe as there will often be further related sites or an appeal in that time.
- Log the entry. Warning: if you do not log any entry you make on the blacklist, it may well be removed if someone appeals and no valid reasons can be found. To log the entry, you will need this number – 812171891 after you have closed the request. See here for more info on logging.
- →Snippet for logging: {{/request|812171891#section_name}}
- →Snippet for logging of WikiProject Spam items: {{WPSPAM|812171891#section_name}}
- →A user-gadget for handling additions to and removals from the spam-blacklist is available at User:Beetstra/Gadget-Spam-blacklist-Handler
Proposed additions
Instructions for proposed additions
Please provide diffs ( e.g. [[Special:Diff/99999999]] ) to show that there has been spamming! Completed requests should be marked with {{done}}, {{not done}}, or another appropriate indicator, and then archived. |

Why 29? I don't know. The two editors, both new both adding "references" to the unreliable source. Clearly something is up. Walter Görlitz (talk) 07:44, 16 November 2017 (UTC)

Request was originally created in [2017] by MER-C, no action taken then. New IP, .207, appeared recently and was aggressively and deceptively spamming the site. Not going to be a reliable source and being spammed - probably time to put a stop to this. Draft:Couponstan does exist but I'd call it iffy at best. Ravensfire (talk) 22:24, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
- After the .207 IP was blocked, Nupur singh shows up and creates the draft article I mentioned, plus a copy in their userspace and continues the overprocessed canned meat product. Given the history, I'm going to tag the draft and user space for G11 speedy deletion. Ravensfire (talk) 22:55, 16 November 2017 (UTC)

In Hong Kong, the ISP outsourcing the installation and marketing to other companies. The IP concerned added the spam site (a site promoting their own referral service) back to 2016 and undiscovered until today. Matthew_hk tc 06:21, 20 November 2017 (UTC)

same reasoning with above section (broadbandhk.com). Despite stale and the link seem not reappeared again after first removal. Adding it may prevent once and for all protecting, although the outsourcing firm may just register any domain. Matthew_hk tc 06:40, 20 November 2017 (UTC)

- An IP hopper has been trying to spam this link at Tu Aashiqui, like here and here. There's nothing to indicate this is an official source. David Miller5 drew my attention for doing this about a month ago. I indeffed him. I've semi-protected the article, but it might be worth adding to the blacklist, since the IP hopper also added the link here at a different article. Clearly trying to spam the site. It's also worth noting that another site, tuaashiqui.net, was added by SerialAgent, another serial spammer. Might not be a huge issue yet though.

This domain is on the global blacklist, and I don't think it should be. It seems it was blacklisted in May 2011, as a spammer. The site is made up of interviews of well-known people, followed by their recommendations for books on the topic which is their specialty. I tried to add a quote from the Shakespeare scholar Stanley Wells to the King Lear page, and found that this site was blacklisted.
Kirkmc (talk) 14:34, 14 November 2017 (UTC)
- @Kirkmc: as you state, it is not blacklisted locally, Defer to Global blacklist to request global removal, or Defer to Whitelist to ask for local whitelisting of specific links. --Dirk Beetstra T C 14:19, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
Thanks, I'm not sure exactly what that means. I followed a link to this page from an article about blacklisting. Kirkmc (talk) 13:39, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
- @Kirkmc: you say "This domain is on the global blacklist, and I don't think it should be." - if you think it should not be on the global blacklist, then you have to request delisting on the global blacklist. And/or you go to the local whitelist, and either ask to override the whole global blacklist for this link (a rarely successful approach), or you ask on our local whitelist to have a specific link that you want to use. As it is not locally blacklisted, we cannot delist here, and therefore, we cannot do anything here. --Dirk Beetstra T C 13:55, 16 November 2017 (UTC)

Domain was added to blacklist over seven years ago, with the comment "mainly the foo-business-review sites". I see no direct problem with the site at first glance, maybe it has changed since 2010, but I would like to specifically use the article "GAMETEK SELLS EUROPEAN OPERATIONS" (cannot link it since the domain is blacklisted), from August 1994 (articles that old are rare), on our Rockstar Toronto article, that I look forward to expanding/rewriting in the near future.

- @Lordtobi: Declined, Defer to Whitelist for specific links on this domain. This is/was long-term spammed, please just whitelist what you need. Note that much of the material is replaceable by original postings and/or archives of original postings - there websites regurgitate what others publish, not much original data. --Dirk Beetstra T C 09:11, 20 November 2017 (UTC)

Domain was added to blacklist just a few days ago, without any comment. Blocked by MER-C. This website was added to wikipedia by one of our competitors in order to get blacklisted in wikipedia. I've found the source that added my website to wikipedia without my permission and I can honestly guarantee that it won't happen again. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Full instructions for admins
Quick reference
For Spam reports or requests originating from this page, use template {{/request|0#section_name}}
{{/request|213416274#Section_name}}
- Insert the oldid 213416274 a hash "#" and the Section_name (Underscoring_spaces_where_applicable):
- Use within the entry log here.
For Spam reports or requests originating from Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Spam use template {{WPSPAM|0#section_name}}
{{WPSPAM|182725895#Section_name}}
- Insert the oldid 182725895 a hash "#" and the Section_name (Underscoring_spaces_where_applicable):
- Use within the entry log here.
- Note: If you do not log your entries, it may be removed if someone appeals the entry and no valid reasons can be found.
Addition to the COIBot reports
The lower list in the COIBot reports now have after each link four numbers between brackets (e.g. "www.example.com (0, 0, 0, 0)"):
- first number, how many links did this user add (is the same after each link)
- second number, how many times did this link get added to wikipedia (for as far as the linkwatcher database goes back)
- third number, how many times did this user add this link
- fourth number, to how many different wikipedia did this user add this link.
If the third number or the fourth number are high with respect to the first or the second, then that means that the user has at least a preference for using that link. Be careful with other statistics from these numbers (e.g. good user who adds a lot of links). If there are more statistics that would be useful, please notify me, and I will have a look if I can get the info out of the database and report it. This data is available in real-time on IRC.
Poking COIBot
When adding {{LinkSummary}}, {{UserSummary}} and/or {{IPSummary}} templates to WT:WPSPAM, WT:SBL, WT:SWL and User:COIBot/Poke (the latter for privileged editors) COIBot will generate linkreports for the domains, and userreports for users and IPs.
