message: Hi Anti-spam-admins.  A new era has come, User:XLinkBot has now an on-wiki revertlist, here: User:XLinkBot/RevertList (still in its testing phase, though, we might have to go back to off-wiki blacklisting using an SQL-database).  I think it is wise to add a log etc, that is something I haven't done yet, and maybe a review of the list is in order.  Can I invite you all to have a look, and use it appropriately?  
Some bot-settings can be altered via User:XLinkBot/Settings.  --Dirk Beetstra T C 20:39, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

:I should have reported this sooner, as I noticed it a while back but haven't had the time to investigate it fully, and still don't have the time.  Besides all the spamming going on, there's the question of what links might be considered official for the articles.  I've been contacted by two different editors now who have given me conflicting information on which should be official (User_talk:Ronz#Zachman_Framework, User_talk:Ronz#Linking, & User_talk:Ronz#Your_Edits_and_Revisions). I've written this report to get help with this situation instead of giving a final warning (uw-s4) to Lockezachman. --Ronz (talk) 03:48, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: This is moving along slowly.  Lockezachman has a number of concerns, but is asking good questions rather than editing further.  A new editor, Phogg2, has appeared and is now asking questions as well.  I'm going to try another venue for help, as the spam problems are becoming secondary. --Ronz (talk) 00:26, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Paste Media Group 

message: As operator of COIBot I sometimes get questions about deletion of old LinkReports.  These reports tend to show up with a high rank in Google searches, and for serious businesses that can be a problem (even if it is their 'fault' that these reports got generated in the beginning).
I have the general inclination to respond negatively to these deletion questions, firstly, they are an on-wiki report of the action regarding a certain site, and COIBot would regenerate the reports as long as they are on the watchlist (when the link gets re-inserted).
The other side is, these reports are a form of punishment, and we don't have to punish people unneeded (as with blocks, they are meant to be preventing damage).
I start to think now towards deletion of these reports, when the involved user/organisation promises to refrain from pushing the information, and to remove the links from the watchlist.  The knowledge that these reports exists, and will be regenerated on repeating the behaviour (either from associated accounts or IPs) should be preventive enough, and for reference, the reports would still be available to the admins via the deletion records.  When users which do not trigger the COIBot alarms add the link in a spammy way, it can be reported to WT:WPSPAM (again), which results in monitoring again (and possibly regeneration of the page).  The only thing would be that the record shows as a redlink in the LinkSummary template, even though the data has existed before.  It just would erase all on-wiki occurances of a link.  
I'd like to hear some suggestions on such situations.  --Dirk Beetstra T C 15:18, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I would tend to speculate, that at the time these users/organisations notice and make those complaints they are infact engaged in or attempting to SEO. This assumes bad faith of course, with the disclaimer they did something in the past to warrent such an assumption of faith. Internal affairs of organizations and how they conduct business/promotion/SEO is largely not our concern when it has resulted in disruption and damage to Wikipedia previously. Exceptions can be made, and should in some cases.--Hu12 (talk) 16:28, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: There is the point, the damage to Wikipedia was in the past; we are talking about situations where the issue is not active anymore.  When the damage is recurring, these reports will be returning, and I presume these organisations now know about that and will (try to) keep away from such cases.  --Dirk Beetstra T C 16:41, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

message: I have only recently started to try and add things on Wiki. I tried to place a link from my website about panic attacks and anxiety, onto several wiki pages (panic, panic attacks, anxiety) and they kept disapearing and so I persisted because I thought I had done something incorrectly to apply it, later I found to my horror it had not only 'not' been approved but I was temporarily grounded. May I explain, I am a qualified RMN (Registered Mental Health Nurse) residing in the UK and the website (http://www.cragface.co.uk/index.asp) I designed has no pop-ups, no advertising and no commercial backing. It is purely a source of information in plain English for anyone suffering this debilitating problem and there is no other agenda. (Also for your information, the "membership log-in is there purely to ensure that people behave themselves on the message board and nothing else.) All the information is available to anyone and for free. If external links are not allowed...there appear to be at least two up there (under Panic Attack) that need attention. One link doesn't work (second one) and another appears to be similar to mine but less informative. If my link is not allowed that's not a problem to me. I just wanted to clarify what was incorrect in my actions or what content in PanicStop was disaproved of? Thanks. (it was suggested I contact this page by Dispenser, after first being told to ask on page Wikipedia talk:WikiProject External links by Roleplayer.)

It seems to me that if this were desirable, it should go through WikiProject Tibet (I assume there is one) and a proper template would be made to Wikilink to the most desirable site, perhaps Tibetan Wiktionary (if there is one).

message: I'd like to have a bit of advice for this. Wikipedia:Most wanted articles currently lists RockReviews as one of the most linked-to non-existent articles. This is solely due to the work of  who has added infobox links to the reviews from this website. However, I strongly doubt that the website itself can be considered as a significant reliable source and of course, since Wiki4U has made no other edits than these, there's a clear spam concern. The irony is that if someone were to create the article, it would probably end up being deleted because it falls quite short of the expectations of the relevant guideline. So what's the right move here? Remove all the links? Remove all mentions of RockReviews? De-link RockReviews so that it stops being a most-wanted article? My own take on it is that we should just remove all 79 reviews since they are insignificant but I'll be happy to have second opinions. Thanks, Pichpich (talk) 20:23, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Not getting much response here... So I'll just take out all the links. Feel free to let me know if you think this is a bad idea. Pichpich (talk) 04:46, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
