I've run into this filter multiple times so finally decided to investigate. This site offers useful bibliographic and historiographic summaries of writings on scholarly topics. Not passing judgement on the site's editorial reliability, many of its pages would qualify as expert self-published sources or otherwise, as self-published interview sources. The site is partly expert interviews (baseurl + /experts/) and partly user-generated content. Obviously, the site shouldn't be used for the latter, but it is very useful for the former. |

It was blacklisted [[MediaWiki_talk:Spam-blacklist/log/2011#May_2011|in May 2011]] for spammers adding external links for an early version of the site (see Internet Archive, whose link is blacklisted). Is there any evidence that those spammers are still around? Its inclusion on [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Spam/LinkReports/fivebooks.com|other WP blacklists]] appears to be a direct copy of our blacklist. It would be a shame to lose this site as a resource for whatever happened in 2011. (I'd sooner see any further spammers blocked than the site blacklisted.)

![]() | 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 – 878034828 after you have closed the request. See here for more info on logging.
- →Snippet for logging: {{/request|878034828#section_name}}
- →Snippet for logging of WikiProject Spam items: {{WPSPAM|878034828#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. |

Because it's an IP user, I don't want to ask to have the IP blocked, and this is the address of a commercial dance school website that has been spammed (and refspammed) to a number of dance related articles sporadically since May 2017, up till today.

This domain hosts an essay-writing service with no encyclopedic value. I've removed all links to 15writers.com from articles. — Newslinger talk 15:43, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

There is consensus on WP:RSN § Lawrence O'Donnell $4 million salary that ArticleBio is an unreliable source with incorrect information (possibly scraped), often mixing biographies and images of different people on the same page.

1. Website: wikifinancepedia 2. Reason: Our site is quite an older domain and have valuable articles. Many people trust wikifinancepedia for personal finance and financial planning. And the content does not violates any copyrights rule. 3. We have added information to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finance where the links were used. 4. At this point.
Our intention was to provide useful information But since it was considered as spamming then we will not add any further links to wikipedia. Appreciate all your efforts in advance. Thanks!

It has come to my attention that a particular longstanding reliable resource under the name of AVPGalaxy.net has been blacklisted under the charge of it consisting of "user-generated content" which to my understanding is false. The associated discussion [11] on the topic has not even arrived at a conclusion and could not demonstrate any problem. - TurokSwe (talk) 23:01, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
- Strong oppose - fan sites with no indication of any editorial oversite or official affiliation to use as a primary source WP:UNRELIABLE WP:FANSITE
- Been blacklisted because of recent and past spamming ..ie..as seen here
- --Moxy (talk) 02:18, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
- Strong support - But it is an editorially controlled trusted source (as opposed to being controlled by its users, which can only engage within the limits of the site's associated forum) and have multiple times featured exclusive contents, interviews, and reliable news in relation to the Alien/Predator franchise and the cast and crew behind the scenes and have multiple times been in contact with the people behind the franchise and have multiple times been cited by the fanbase as a primary source of information relating to this franchise. Please do show me where exactly it has failed to meet the required expectations, as you keep avoiding this, making up false accusations, and still insisting that there's supposed to be an issue. I also don't understand what you mean by "spamming" in this case and what the issue is actually supposed to be, especially as various sites are consistently being repeated on the articles in question as well as countless others all around Wikipedia with no problem whatsoever. Still suspect that this has all got to do with some sort of bias towards anything AVP-related, judging from past experiences with this franchise and its fanbase, and I still hold that AVPGalaxy has been too quickly blacklisted without proper justification. - TurokSwe (talk) 09:19, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
- If you were to read the links provided it would explain alot.....pls review WP:UNRELIABLE WP:FANSITE (#11). Just because your not willing to read the links doesn't mean we have not responded to your inquiries as this would be the 4th time the links have been provided.--Moxy (talk) 17:46, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
- I have read them, and repeatedly providing said links still don't really shed much light on things (in other words, they don't seem appropriate or justified here), but I've been asking for specific explanations. - TurokSwe (talk) 18:35, 3 January 2019 (UTC)

I've run into this filter multiple times so finally decided to investigate. This site offers useful bibliographic and historiographic summaries of writings on scholarly topics. Not passing judgement on the site's editorial reliability, many of its pages would qualify as expert self-published sources or otherwise, as self-published interview sources. The site is partly expert interviews (baseurl + /experts/) and partly user-generated content. Obviously, the site shouldn't be used for the latter, but it is very useful for the former.
It was blacklisted in May 2011 for spammers adding external links for an early version of the site (see Internet Archive, whose link is blacklisted). Is there any evidence that those spammers are still around? Its inclusion on other WP blacklists appears to be a direct copy of our blacklist. It would be a shame to lose this site as a resource for whatever happened in 2011. (I'd sooner see any further spammers blocked than the site blacklisted.) This request is just for fivebooks.com, not five-books.com or thebrowser.com. (not watching, please {{ping}}

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.
