    If a user follows the link, listed as the official site for Sara Ramírez, they will be redirected to a malicious website where a html exploit is used to install malicious code on the affected system. Site has numerous redirections to a well known trojan site. Number four on wiki guidelines, WP:LINKSTOAVOID. There is no business ADR DESIGN in New York City. [I do get a match for a Mr. Rodriguez, however at the same address and phone number/ http://www.aldrodriguez.com/site/index.htm] Moreover, this site doesn't seem to have any evidence of having contributions by the actress herself.

    Couple of things to counter the McCafee assessment and redirections: The site is listed as the "official site" on IMDB, but with a clear disclaimer at the bottom. And, this is simply conjecture, but I don't think the domain owner's intent is for profit or malicious, he looks to be involved in the same profession and her "official site" does get consistent fan forum postings. The contact information for the actress is update and correct.

    Wii HomeBreWare

    Accounts

    Both users are new to WP and are both posting links to their own ad-related page for a new commercial product called Wii HomeBreWare. They are constantly reverting and editing each others text to change the links to their own click-thru pages. Dozens of reverts in a row over the past few days on multiple articles, Wii homebrew, List of Wii modchips, and WiiWare. I've cleaned up text and removed ad-links, but the two keep reverting them back. I've left notices on their talk pages, but users continue. Taraff1 blanked his talk page to remove my warning. Administrative support would be appreciated. Rurik (talk) 18:54, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    For reference, here's the sites they are edit warring over adding:
    Taraff1: http://nintendo-wii-homebrew-unlock-hack.blogspot.com
    Alex378: http://homebreware.blogspot.com/
    Both are blogspot sites that provide links (in some cases commercial links) to other sites. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 19:12, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    A website created by a marketing agency unrelated to any official tennis organization. Provides extremely limited and outdated information. Despite being informed and discussed with, Tennis Expert5 (talk · contribs) has been repeatedly adding this link to tennis related articles.

    Apologies if I do this wrong - I've never reported here before:

    I've just received virtually identical spam messages about a talk website on my talk page from two different anon IPs:

    This domain was globally blacklisted a long time ago and the non-live form added to $wgSpamRegex. Yet it's still quite easy to circumvent both blacklists. I don't think we can do anything more here until the abuse filter comes along. MER-C 12:38, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Username is hollywoodnorthreport, he has inserted dozens of links to hollywoodnorthreport.com throughout wikipedia, also appears to be vigorously promoting his "Synthetic Entertainment" company and his band.

    Articles linking to his hollywoodnorthreport.com website currently: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:LinkSearch&target=%2A.hollywoodnorthreport.com

    Articles he has added his band articles to (via WhatLinksHere:

    Created the following pages:

    Diffs of repeated spamming: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15

    Note on his user page User_talk:Hollywoodnorthreport: 

    It`s funny even though stating what I like to edit pages about and all the hard work I do on pages with almost 500 pages edits......I still get people who want to start a false witch hunt. Instead of false witch hunting  spend some time editing WIKI and helping the community instead of trying to tear it apart..... Cheers Mike aka Hollywoodnorthreport (talk) 01:49, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

    He notes on his talk page that he is "just a fan" of hollywood north report and not affiliated, and signs his name "Mike". But, this is a fairly weak attempt. WHOIS info for hollywoodnorthreport.com:

    A quick look at the staff list on hollywoodnorthrepot.com says the site owner is, indeed "Mark Sommer"

    Blatant self-promo in his Left Spine Down article: 

        The band is personally managed by Mark Sommer of Synthetic Entertainment; one of Western Canada’s leading industrial/ebm/goth rock booking agents and concert promoters.

    He was once warned for spamming hollywood north on his talk page, somehow escaped conviction: 

      This is your only warning. The next time you insert a spam link, as you did to Hollywood North, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Spammers may have their websites blacklisted as well, preventing their    websites from appearing on Wikipedia and other sites that use the MediaWiki spam blacklist at all. DarkSaber2k 08:50, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

      hello I got this warning. This was not a spam link. When this page was recreated or combined or changed a while go......the external link for HollywoodNorthReport.com was taken out. Which is odd as the website    offers daily news on the CANADIAN FILM AND TV industry. I am a heavy user of the site and use the MESSAGE BOARDS of the site hourly for updates on filming, etc.
  Thoughts?
  OK, ignore the warning, I was doing a couple of thing at once, just saw your name and that you had added the link to that article and jumped to the wrong conclusion. No harm meant! DarkSaber2k 09:31, 3 July 2007    (UTC)

    Perugia Shock/Justice for Meredith blogs

    Users continue to add text sourced to a blog to Murder of Meredith Kercher even though it fails all relevant sections of WP:EL and WP:RS. Only one individual has been adding this site and has been warned several times. Perugia Shock, a previously blacklisted blog, and Justice for Meredith collaborate with each other in their posts impuning Amanda Knox and accusing both her and her boyfriend of murdering Meredith Kercher.
