    Several IP addresses (and initially User:Gremplar) are repeatedly adding this site to antenna measurement and moving it to the top of the list of links in an apparent attempt at promotion. I have warned two of the offending IP addresses, and on my final warning to User:81.152.171.33, I received the snarky reply that I would have trouble blocking them because they were using an internet cafe to insert the spam. Fair enough since the addresses vary so much, but the site itself could still be blacklisted.

    Diffs of adding this link and moving it up are: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], and [11].

    Boomerang

    I recently had cause to read the boomerang article and found a particular external website linked throughout the article's body. I removed the offending links, but a look through the history shows that one ore more individuals are repeatedly adding links to the same website. I suggest something be done to prevent further spamming of the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.66.11.177 (talk) 15:06, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    I have added 'learn-how-to-speak' as a rule to COIBot. That should catch them all. If IP's persist, we could consider adding that also as a rule to XLinkBot. --Dirk Beetstra T C 13:31, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Before 10 May, the links at Foreign Service Institute were all to a single non-commercial site. These were then replaced with mainly commercial links. The number of links was excessive to begin with, but since the FSI courses are apparently in the public domain as US government products, I don't see any reason to object to a single link to a non-commercial online version.

    I'm removing what I consider a spam link (& conflict of interest issue) with a user User talk:Dgodot who I believe is the author of the blog that is being linked to in the article Mindfulness. The blog entry adds nothing substantive to the article and there are too many links in the article as it is. The blog links to the author's other commercial/professional sites. Dgodot has been reverting my edits saying that his blog entry has a perspective not currently present in the article. I have made the suggestion on his talk page encouraging him to add to the article if the information is cite-able and not original research. Nightngle (talk) 21:52, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    TV Licensing in UK

    IP pushing their links hard, 4 links already blacklisted on en (in two batches of 2). The first two were blacklisted after the links were first reverted by XLinkBot, a block of the first IP and a new IP taking over the link additions. For the second I have not waited that long (though others were very busy reverting the editors).

    The first two are on the same server (212.227.193.222).
