This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Damian Yerrick (talk | contribs) at 23:54, 28 September 2008 (→‎ndsuniverse.com: Can an admin help?). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

    Protected User:XLinkBot/RevertList has been protected so that only administrators may edit it due to its high sensitivity.
    To request a change to it, please list a request here.

    User:XLinkBot/RevertList is meant to be used by User:XLinkBot. Unlike the meta spam blacklist and the local spam-blacklist, the revertlist does not disable the use of a link, but its addition gets reverted if there is significant inappropriate use (by unestablished editors). Any administrator may edit the RevertList and the accompanied override and lock-lists (User:XLinkBot/OverrideList, User:XLinkBot/HardOverrideList, User:XLinkBot/UserLocks, User:XLinkBot/PageLocks.

    Dealing with requests
    Any admin unfamiliar with this page should probably read this first, thanks
    1. User:XLinkBot generally reverts only new users (users who created an account less than 7 days ago), and IP-users, hence, users which are generally not familiar with our Policies and guidelines. This can be altered by the settings and override and lock lists.
    2. Does the link generally get used in an inappropriate way by unestablished users, but does it not qualify for the meta spam blacklist or the local spam-blacklist since there are documents on the same server that should/could be used as an external link or reference?
    3. Make the entry at the bottom of the list (before the last line). Please do not do this unless you are familiar with regex —the disruption that can be caused is substantial.
    4. 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.
    5. 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 - 241656015 after you have closed the request. See here for more info on logging.

    There are four sections for posting comments below. Please make comments in the appropriate section.

    Proposed additions

    respectance.com

    A website where anyone can create a memorial about persons; current listing is at here. One and two examples of the spamming. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 03:10, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Flickr.com

    Free hosting site for images, not sure about abuse, therefore posting here to monitor:

    Comment Some images on Flickr are hosted under a Creative Commons Licence. Some of those (not all) are suitable for use on Wikipedia. Blocking of this site could create problems for existing images uploaded to Wikipedia, and prevent future images being used when they may be needed to illustrate an article. Mjroots (talk) 11:13, 26 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    This is not blocking, this is reverting inappropriate additions, which, I am afraid, is true for most of the additions by unestablished editors of domains on this list. If they are needed, they can be re-added by reverting the bot, etc. etc. Also, the image namespace is not reverted by the bot. --Dirk Beetstra T C 10:07, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Would support this. Stifle (talk) 14:30, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    I could narrow this down by adding
     \bflickr\.com\/photos\b
    as the rule (not sure if the '/search' and '/groups' should also be on it, probably). --Dirk Beetstra T C 14:34, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    --Dirk Beetstra T C 15:08, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    linkreport, especially the xml dump at the bottom. Although some appropriate additions, quite a number are not appropriate (coi, not directly linked), and the page is not in english. Hence:

    lulu.com

    I would like to add www.lulu.com. After contacting wikipedia it says it is blocked here. It is a book site and I would like to add it to external links. Egolembiewski (talk) 14:36, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Not sure what you want .. it is on the blacklist, so it can't be added anyway. Adding it here would not help anyway.  Not done --Dirk Beetstra T C 14:46, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Lulu.com is not blacklisted, I already requested it to be taken off the blacklist and was told it is not on it. I was told to contact you about this and that adding it here would allow me to post it as an external link on another page.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Egolembiewski (talk • contribs)

    lulu is here on the list: MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist (search for '\blulu\.com\b'), and can not be linked to. It is a (generally) unreliable site, and should not be linked to. Who told you to contact me here? --Dirk Beetstra T C 15:03, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    -I was told to come here from a person who answered my question on the whitelist page

    ccnacertificationguide.com

    Related to ccent.ws and Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive450#Spammers using different IPs to add external links; it's another link that gets bombed on Cisco Career Certifications. See [1] and [2]. x42bn6 Talk Mess 20:34, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

     Done --Dirk Beetstra T C 11:48, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    potsdam.edu/hansondj / alcoholfacts.org / alcoholinformation.org

    Please see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Spam#About 400 links to the two sites of one individual for details.

    The site owner makes extensive use of sock puppets to add links to his sites, so XLinkBot could slow down his ability to re-add them. Nunquam Dormio (talk) 19:59, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

     Done --Dirk Beetstra T C 11:48, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    indiasite.com

    Link Search gives 74 links. the site is a commercial tourism site. It does have some ino, but is not a reliable source. request deletion of these links and perhaps a blacklist. If I need to do something else beyond listing it here. please let me know. ChiragPatnaik (talk) 11:54, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    I'll monitor it and then have a look. Thanks for reporting. --Dirk Beetstra T C 12:44, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    It looks like there is a range of IPs, each adding one link. I'll put it on the list.  Done. --Dirk Beetstra T C 13:44, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks ChiragPatnaik (talk) 16:27, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    will this automatically remove it? ChiragPatnaik (talk) 16:31, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Nope, it will now automatically revert it when an unestablished editor (including IPs) are adding it, anyone older than 7 days can add it without problems. As you say that the site does have some info, this seems to be a good site for on this list. I am afraid that someone will have to go through all the pages that now use the link, and clean those which are inappropriate. --Dirk Beetstra T C 13:19, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    referrals

    ndsuniverse.com

    In the article Nintendo DS homebrew, users in two IPv4 address ranges have been adding links to a web site, ndsuniverse.com, which appears to host infringing copies of commercial Nintendo DS games. This appears to violate policy. Some recent diffs in chronological order: [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] --Damian Yerrick (talk | stalk) 12:47, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    It's still happening from multiple IPs. Can an administrator help now? --Damian Yerrick (talk | stalk) 23:54, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
