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 – 952302920 after you have closed the request. See here for more info on logging.
- →Snippet for logging: {{/request|952302920#section_name}}
- →Snippet for logging of WikiProject Spam items: {{WPSPAM|952302920#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. |

- @Awesome Aasim: Declined, user blocked, lets first see if that gets the message across. --Dirk Beetstra T C 13:57, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
- Beetstra, mind having another look? There have been several brand-new users adding it (a couple new ones since this report was originally filed), see the COIBot report. creffett (talk) 13:55, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

WhatCulture is most certainly one of the best news sources for information on entertainment. Its credibility is such that we know that its editors "do not need to have any relevant experience or hold any particular qualifications". Seriously, a source like this has no place on any of the Wikimedia projects, yet I see dozens of references to the website in many Wikipedia articles about video games. I do not know of any evidence of spamming, but it is possible, and the overused website really is worthless to Wikimedia. FreeMediaKid! 09:24, 7 April 2020 (UTC)
- FreeMediaKid!, if it's unreliable but not being spammed, probably more appropriate to bring this up at the reliable sources noticeboard. creffett (talk) 13:56, 7 April 2020 (UTC)
- The thing is that WhatCulture already is considered unreliable. I think the problem is that Wikipedia articles about entertainment and pop culture suffer the most when it comes to the reliability of the sources, and WhatCulture is one of the worst cited sources. Even if it were to not be blacklisted, how can we trust that new editors will correctly discard the source as unreliable? FreeMediaKid! 01:03, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
- FreeMediaKid!, regarding "... WhatCulture already is considered unreliable", can you link us to WP:RS/N discussions. If the only given reason is 'it is unreliable' we generally need a strong consensus discussion that states that it basically never should be used as a reference (outside of primary sourcing use, which we then can whitelist) nor as an external link. Dirk Beetstra T C 06:34, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
- I see where this is going. Okay, by searching the RSN, I see plenty of instances where WhatCulture has been criticized for its ability to report. I recognize the possibility of confirmation bias interfering with my judgement, so I will have to make sure that my results are balanced if necessary and have due weight. Anyway, by searching "WhatCulture" and "What Culture" in the RSN archives, I find relevant results such as archives 171, 214 and 257. There is a lot less discussion about the source than I would like to admit. The first of the archives is about the website's reporting style ("Top 10s" lists, etc.) and how it gets its own information. The second archive describes it as being polemical, although at least one editor has noted that it is reliable as a source of the author's opinion, but then again, so is every other source. The last of the archives simply repeats familiar statements, but the archives at WP:RSN are not alone. WikiProject Video games considers the website to be unreliable, and so does WikiProject Professional wrestling.

- I recognize that we cannot add every single website to the blacklist, especially if it means that they are valuable to at least a little extent. On the other hand, I had just become aware of Wikipedia's edit filters. I have known about them, but I simply became more aware of them. I probably should have taken the discussion there and posted it rather than here. FreeMediaKid! 10:31, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
- I love WhatCulture. I spent probably too much time watching their videos. That said, they're not reliable. "7 Worst Performances by an Oscar winning actor" will be nothing but opinion. Niteshift36 (talk) 12:52, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

A tabloid from Albania peddling false and misleading information, ocnal.com is often used to back up some rather proposterous claims on "List of famous Albanians" articles on en.wiki, claiming the likes of George Washington, Alan Shepard and Sandra Bullock as being Albanian. See [1] [2] In fact, calling it a tabloid is probably overly charitable. Clickbaity, sensationalistic headlines and no editorial oversight whatsoever. Claims like the George Washington one are clearly fake news, as described by this independent fact-checking organization. Blacklisting ocnal.com would stop a good 80% of the fake news vandalism to articles such as Mary Ball Washington, List of Albanian Americans, etc. Amanuensis Balkanicus (talk) 16:32, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
- Amanuensis Balkanicus, has there been any discussion about this source and its reliability in other forums like WP:RSN? We usually do not blacklist sites for reliability concerns, unless a community discussion with a clear consensus asks for it. If you haven't yet, I would recommend to start a general discussion about this site on such a noticeboard. GermanJoe (talk) 05:54, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

lovifm.com and other Pechkurov's links
As enwiki does not seem to use global blacklist, I propose to add links mentioned (and accepted) here: m:Special:PermanentLink/19809308#Links used for self-promotion by LTA Alex9777777 (aka Aleksej Pechkurov).

While the website doesn't look that bad (though probably not especially reliable), it appears to be getting added to a number of articles by IP editors in what is probably an attempt at SEO - since the website says that it was only started in November 2019, I'm guessing that they're trying to increase their visibility. creffett (talk) 13:18, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

After working on the Timeline for asexual history, I had to enlist some help on finding any link for the chapter "The Sexually Oppressed" by Myra Johnson for the book "Asexual and Autoerotic Women: Two Invisible Groups" published by Harvey L. and Jean S. Gochros in 1977. After 2 hours of Google search, I came up empty. Nothing. Someone "scanned" the chapter I needed with their phone and uploaded it to the above site. Now, I am not asking for the entire site to be unblacklisted, just one link. That's all I am requesting.
There isn't another version out there from the mountain of online sources because I have looked. Though if you all want to give it a shot, feel free. :) If you all find a link I can use for that chapter, pages 96 to 107, I'll be happy to use it. But for right now, this is it. It's all I'm asking. Thanks...Neutralhomer • Talk • 09:18 on April 16, 2020 (UTC) • #StayAtHome

Logging / COIBot Instructions
Blacklist logging
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.

- GermanJoe, done (for this page) Dirk Beetstra T C 14:23, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
- GermanJoe, and done for the rest that the archive bot did not like. Dirk Beetstra T C 15:04, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
- Beetstra, thank you for checking this. Next time I know to look into the log (unless I forget it again of course ...). GermanJoe (talk) 17:04, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
- Fixed 2 more instances, that should hopefully do it for now. GermanJoe (talk) 15:04, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
