MediaWiki talk:Spam-blacklist

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by A. B. (talk | contribs) at 15:17, 27 September 2007 (→Jinge Zhu spam on Wikipedia: format). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Mediawiki:Spam-blacklist is meant to be used by the spam blacklist extension. Unlike the meta spam blacklist, this blacklist only affects pages on the English Wikipedia. Any administrator may edit the spam blacklist. Any developer may use $wgSpamRegex, another method to prevent the addition of spam links. However $wgSpamRegex should rarely be used.

See Wikipedia:Spam blacklist for more information about the spam blacklist.

Meta admins are now only blacklisting spam that's been posted cross-wiki. The following requests have either been declined or will be declined as being spammed on en.wikipedia only. Can I have an admin here blacklist these? Thanks,

qksrv.net, anrdoezrs.net, tkqlhce.com, dpbolvw.net, kqzyfj.com or jdoqocy.com

These are all affiliate tracking urls from Commission Junction. (See Commission Junction article.) If you are an advertiser, they give you a link on one of these domains and it redirects to whoever you are advertising for. It's really bad because it's seamless - if I click on the spam link, I go to the official site for whatever the article is about, so it doesn't look like spam. But really, I'm just earning points for some affiliate. I have removed several spam links to these domains. They really should be on the meta blacklist as there is no legitimate need for anyone on Wikimedia to link to any of these sites, but they won't do it unless it is an actual problem everywhere and right now, I've only seen it here. This list of domains comes from http://www.cj.com/qksrv.html. --B 12:21, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please blacklist the remaining CA Technologies LLC (New Jersey) domains

This persistent spammer finally got 6 of his domains blacklisted last month; see:

We identified 24 additional domains owned by this person but without links on Wikipedia at that point in time. We did not ask they be blacklisted then.

This user is now back spamming one of these other domains.[7]

Can I ask that we just go ahead and blacklist the rest of these domains? I don't think warnings[8][9][10][11][12][13][14] or even blacklisting links as we see them[15] are slowing this guy down very much.

uncoverreality.com

An individual has been spamming the Ogrish.com article with a link to uncoverreality.com for months, and various individuals including myself have been removing it with great frequency. It's clear that person (who changes IP#) knows the spamming he is doing is wrong and is not going away.

teamicogamers.blogspot.com

A certain user has a habit of spamming his various personal blogspot sites on Ico and Shadow of the Colossus (amongst others) of which teamicogamers.blogspot is just the latest. Having been pretty much the only one dealing with this, albeit infrequently, since 2006 I am just a little tired of it now. The slow-but-never-ending nature of the spamming and dynamic-ness of the IPs involved (several accounts and the 88.203.71.0/24 range) makes blacklisting a more viable option than protection and/or blocking. – Steel 01:22, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed removals

blog.myspace.com

In a recent edit to Dead Like Me, I had to remove a citation to:

http://blog DOT myspace DOT com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=148913492&blogID=282378780

that a previous editor had included, since blog.myspace.com was on the blacklist. Since the citation was legitimate (the myspace page is used by an actress from Dead Like Me), I am wondering if it's a good idea to blacklist blog.myspace.com.

I was able to reintroduce the citation through a workaround: apparently the blacklist isn't enforced when you do section-specific edits, something I did a minute later. As someone who often contributes without logging in, I had noticed that external links aren't checked for in section edits, but this is the first time that there was a reason to take advantage of that loophole.

www.belarussolidaritycampaign.co.uk

This was blacklisted form the Alexander Lukashenko page by an administrator, who termed the site as 'having no content' It clearly does. Now, if the link is deemed to be unsuitable then it ought to be discussed on the talk page. In my opinion the link in question, whilst granted is still a site under construction, is still a site that has relevance to the discussion of Lukashenko and Belarus. I propose that it be removed from the blacklist, so it may be linked to in the future if agreed in discussion on the talk page, but its dismissal by one administrator (zscout370) is at least a stifling of debate and objectivity, and at worse is censorship.

The website was just established and it has "Under construction" notices on the main page. The links that work are stating the goals for the group and begging people to join. This is pure linkspam, thus why I added it to the black list. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 06:40, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the reply! The point I'm making is that the site is being updated and now does have information too. I concede that at the moment the site is not complete and as such is not worthy being a part of the current external links, however the blacklisting means that when that changes, or if wikipedia wishes to link to an article there in the future this will not be possible. I politely ask that the site be removed from the blacklist, (and also promise to refrain from adding it to the current list of external links).

--Belaruski 14:07, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The blacklist isn't permanent and I don't intend for this link to stay here forever. But right now, I think it should stay. I will go back to the site, lets say, weekly and look at it. But we get so many external links about Belarus and we got so many campaign sites from the UK, Poland that me and others just remove them all. I am starting to clear out other Belarusian links too, so your site isn't the only one seeing removal. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 18:46, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Any chance the link can be un blacklisted now? We recently held a demo in London, are a legally recognised body with international members and would like to set up a page of our own. A bit embarrasing when we can't link to ourselves! Thanks.--Belaruski 21:42, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting guidelines if they are applied accross the board. However if you will look at the site in question and argue that none of the articles are relevant, or may in the future be relevant as external links then you are in effect allowing censorship on wikipedia. I agree that it is very easy for just anyone to link to themselves on Wikipedia, but the site in question is clearly not spam. --79.65.244.108 22:37, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I removed it from the blacklist, but I still do not think the site should be added to Wikipedia. We get many Belarusian campaign sites and this is just one out of many that look and feel the same. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 13:51, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

perpignanfr.com myperpignan.com (removal)

www.myperpignan.com www.perpignanfr.com Every time I added my information I also added my email address in the comments section. I had no idea who was removing me so did not know that my sites were an issue. When notified I immediately stopped adding them. However did receive some rude, insulting swearing emails from people with admin. authority at Wiki. Was not very nice. To top it off they were sent from hotmail accounts. I am not being asked to be put back on. Just removed from this spam list. I have asked in a polite manner. More than I can say for the two who emailed me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.47.129.235 (talk) 14:22, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see any reason to swear in an e-mail, so I apologize for the rest of us if another volunteer here swore at you.
Having said that, normally sites are only removed from the blacklist in response to requests from established editors who see an encyclopedic value in linking to them. Admins don't normally accede to site-owner requests, especially after they have violated our Spam Guideline. I'm not an admin here, but I don't see much chance of your site's removal, given the history of these links
and their nature ("Perpignan Accommodation Vacation Holiday Apartments" and "Perpignan Tourist Information").
You may wish to add your links to the DMOZ directory if they are not already listed there; it's a better venue for your stuff:

Troubleshooting and problems

Discussion

guidelines?

It may be worth being pro-active and outlining how this will be used locally, e.g. what modifications are needed to m:Spam blacklist/About? Does someone who pays attention to how this works on meta have an opinion? - BanyanTree 09:34, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

First we should make this talk page look a little more like m:Talk:Spam blacklist I think. I will work on that. :) FunPika 17:46, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I am going to change Wikipedia:Spam blacklist from a soft redirect to a page similar to m:Spam blacklist/About. FunPika 18:47, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
One guideline that immediately jumps to mind is Do not add an entry without discussing it on the talk page first. It's one thing if an admin accidentally adds a catch-all regex to MediaWiki:Usernameblacklist; it is another when an admin adds it here. Another possible guidelines: entries added without discussion may be removed (unless it's a Foundation action), not only because the admin adding them may not know what he/she is doing, but because each entry should ideally require consensus (not the silent kind). An exception for this should possibly be set up for tentative entries due to link spamming. One more guideline to consider is, The burden of proof is on the person who suggests the addition. These do seem a bit restrictive, but a blacklist is not something to be taken lightly. GracenotesT § 05:31, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Let me point out one thing to you folks from my experiance with the meta blacklist. If you don't know regex, please don't modify this list, as even simple formatting screwups have a nasty tendency to a) enable the blacklist for all links or b) disable the blacklist for this site. (on meta its disabled for everyone). That is why you see the nice header on the blacklist page. I will be working to get our blacklist on meta caught back up, and I would advise that spam be brought there *first*. This list is great for en wiki only attack sites, ect, things that we don't need to blacklist across all wikis. —— Eagle101Need help? 03:19, 15 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, also, if you guys format the archives for this blacklist like the archives on meta, I already have a script that does the archiving, drop me a message if you would like me to file a bot request to run that archive script on this page as well. —— Eagle101Need help? 03:21, 15 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Also I highly suggest that you guys have a spam blacklist log, so that you know what happened 3 months down the road. see the WP:WHITELIST for an example of what a log looks like. The log should contain why the admin blacklisted a site, (preferably with a link to a permanent version of the discussion on this page). From that you can tell why a link was added 3 months later when the original admin might not be around. I'm sorry if I keep posting here, but I've had plenty of experience with this :) —— Eagle101Need help? 03:25, 15 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
(outdent) MediaWiki:Bad image list put a restriction on the use of certain images. Is that where Spam-blacklist is going? -- Jreferee (Talk) 21:31, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Adding entry without discussion

I note that User:JzG has just added a Wikipedia-criticism site to the spam blacklist without discussion, despite the general guideline that such things need to be discussed. This seems to be yet another of the many attempts to get some spawn of WP:BADSITES to be treated as policy regardless of failure to ever get consensus for it. *Dan T.* 17:54, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There's been some discussion on the mailing list about this. Having had a look over the site, I for one think it most certainly belongs on the spam blacklist and I can't see any reason why anyone would want to link to it. Whether the process was appropriate, the result is correct. Sam Blacketer 20:48, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The mailing list is not onsite, and doesn't allow everyone to say their piece - especially because it is moderated. I have removed it until such time as a proper discussion has taken place. Especially because there is an outstanding arbcom request involving links to this site. ViridaeTalk 02:31, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
General comments based on lessons learned the hard way at meta:Spam blacklist:
  • There should be a log for this list such as there is at meta:Spam blacklist/Log. (Spam_blacklist/Log is currently a red link but maybe I'm missing something). If we're not logging stuff now, we're going to really regret it in a few weeks or months. Whitelist requests come in now at MediaWiki talk:Spam-whitelist or at meta:Talk:Spam blacklist#Proposed removals about older stuff on the meta blacklist and nobody knows how a particular domain got on the list. Look at the older entries on the meta log to see what I mean about confusion. Every blacklist entry should have a blacklist log entry linking to an explanation of the blacklisting.
  • The intended audience for a spam blacklist log are the admins of 2012 that have to understand why stuff's blacklisted. Believe it or not, today's hot spam topics may be curiously passé by then: Viagra may be off the market and current wikidrama sites may have gone the way of beanie babies and lava lamps.
  • After just 3 years, requests to whitelist stuff at MediaWiki talk:Spam-whitelist seem to default to whitelisting if there's not an adequate explanation in the meta log. Today's admins and editors must fully document their reasons if they want blacklisted stuff to stay blacklisted in the future.
  • Terse, generic log entries like "[[WP:NOT#SOAP]]" or "[[WP:EL]]" are insufficient.
  • Stepping through histories of several hundred edits/month to figure out 3-year old entries is an enormous pain in the neck. (I've done it before). Please don't just rely on edit summaries or future editors and admins will hate you when they finally find your entry.
  • I think off-wiki mailing lists, IRC, etc are not very transparent and make for poor documentation. This is true even of official and semi-official channels. There doesn't necessarily need to be a discussion here on this talk page, but spam blacklist log entries should permalink to some explanation of the blacklisting decision on en.wikipedia.org, for example WP:AN/I.
These comments are not directed at JzG or any other editor or admin in particular.
