text: This site may have been blacklisted after a massive Joe job (using many sockpuppets and proxy servers) by Jonathan Barber.  COIBot does not have any records on the link, but the bot will be monitoring for some time.  As there are no active records on the spamming, I'd approve removal from the blacklist.  If something comes up, we can always blacklist again, then with proper reason/log.  --Dirk Beetstra T C 13:35, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Here is a list of link farms as of mid November or so. There are over 2,000 articles with link farms. I'm considering anything with an external links section with more then 20 links in that section a link farm. Its a large list, and if folks wish to put the list on multiple pages (perhaps in groups of 500 or so) feel free. The entries link first to the current page, as it is now, and in ()'s there is a link to the revision as the program saw it. The worst cases are at the bottom. 
Follows is a few samples from the list, that I think have been dealt with already. (the worst cases)
# Holocaust_(resources) (Holocaust_(resources)) external links: 153
# Internet_censorship_in_Pakistan (Internet_censorship_in_Pakistan) external links: 177
# Baltimore_Comic-Con (Baltimore_Comic-Con) external links: 210
# Islamic_view_of_Moses (Islamic_view_of_Moses) external links: 678
Its quite sad, and does need fixing, however I don't have the time, but if you guys want to give it a shot and mark off the ones that are done, I'll generate this list again in a month or so using newer data. —— Eagle101Need help? 02:10, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  spam disguised as refs in citeweb templates 

message: The rule \bblogspot\.com is (currently) not on COIBot's monitorlist. Some of the sub-domains have been added via WT:WPSPAM, or have been caught by the automonitoring of COIBot (mainly because the name of the editor is the same as the name of the subdomain on blogspot.com).
Still, a linksearch on the resolved IP of blogspot.com (72.14.207.191) results in a mere 118 results (all COIBot linkreports)!  Often the multiple use of the single subdomains is not a cause for blacklisting, as they may only have been used once or twice.  Also, I suspect there are tens of thousands of blogspot sub-domains out there, but these are only the links that are caught because the wiki username overlaps with the domainname of the subdomain (or have been reported here).  Would this cumulative behaviour warrant blacklisting of \bblogspot\.com .. here, or even on meta?  --Dirk Beetstra T C 12:37, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

It ends with about a screenfull of what appears to be indiscriminate links. The page "owner" seems to want to protect things as they are (and is a founder of one or more of the stations listed), but I haven't pushed too hard. How do other editors perceive this article with respect to various linking policies? Burlywood 21:10, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: From taking a quick look, that last half of the article seems to clearly fall under WP:NOT#REPOSITORY and WP:NOT#DIRECTORY per official policy. If the individual is connected with the stations then there may be a conflict of interest, and certainly WP:OWN, if there are claims of ownership being made. I think your concerns are quite valid. Seems there is much work to be done to make it more encyclopedic.--Hu12 (talk) 22:45, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

text: I have followed up on Hu12's tagging, I have removed all external links, mainly per the two cited parts of the WP:NOT policy, I removed all because all seem to fail WP:EL.  Any attempt at reversion is a clear policy violation, and deserves a firm (final?) warning.  --Dirk Beetstra T C 22:56, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I notice the article in its present state is unreferenced, and one or two of the deleted links might possibly be useful as references. I'm not sure about the list of stations; if we deleted that, we should at least link to a suitable external source for such a list. DGG (talk) 04:07, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

text: External links != references.  If they are needed, they can be pulled from the article history.  There is no need to link directly to the radio/tv stations, or they could e.g. be included in a [[list of radio stations by <your company name here>]] (or a category), where wiki-links to the articles of the radio stations are collected.  We are not a directory.  --Dirk Beetstra T C 10:27, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Dirk, I am not disagreeing, except that a usable ref can sometimes be found in something originally presented as an external link. DGG (talk) 22:31, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Hi, all. If this isn't the right place for this... I'd be happy to take it where it belongs. I have been removing some spam (and leaving some spam that I wasn't sure about) from the external links section of Juicer. Now I have a user with one edit asking me why I deleted his links and left other spammy links in there (on my talk page). Could someone please check out the external links section of Juicer and give me an honest take on the links there? I'm not sure which (if any) are salvageable. If you go through the history, you should see pretty quick what has been going on. Thanks. -- Swerdnaneb 22:02, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  http://spam.dslforum.org 

message: I am brand new to editing just started looking at updating the Neuroblastoma article a few days ago. I checked the history and saw that a few inappropriate links have been repeatedly added and removed only to be added again. Looks like different users/IP have been adding these links. The links are to  Alex Lemonade Stand which is a non-profit to raise money for pediatric cancer research, but has no information about neuroblastoma, and the other is Post Pals which encourages messages sent to sick children, also with no information about neuroblastoma. Another one is called Loneliest Hour which does have some basic information aimed at parents of newly diagnosed children.
I first posted this to Arcadian's talk page since I saw that he had removed the links also, and he encouraged me to report it here since the removed links keep reappearing. 
I added a link to a series of videos presented by neuroblastoma researchers. This conference is hosted by a non-profit that also raises money specifically for neuroblastoma, and the 2007 videos are forthcoming. Is this link appropriate? 2005 Chicago Neuroblastoma Conference Arcadian recommended I get more outside opinions on this.

message: foodreference.com is an adsense (pub-2708377307028180) site with additional promotional material on the margins that is linked to about 40 articles. I have not determined that there is an organized effort to add links to the site. Some have been good-faith additions. My rule of thumb is to remove links to recipes on the basis of Wikipedia is not a how-to or link repository. Some of the site's pages are not recipes but provide so little content as to be unhelpful. Perhaps others want to look through the list of links:

I agree too about removing links to recipes--there would be hundreds in most cases, thousands in some.   DGG (talk) 19:30, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

message: I disagree that linking to ODP and Yahoo is a solution, because many Website in ODP are not up to date, and erroniously reperesnt the categoru. One solution is to statrt making exclussion domains list. Okay a domain is put in WikiPedia and is deleted 3 times it goes into an WikiPedia SBL and cannot be added to WikiPedia. We have to take cuation not to add domains that are still in WikiPedia but added to a new article and have been removed from that article for what ever reason, but not for Spamming. The reason using ODP and Yahoo is no good, because it is not Authoritative, we are not a search engine, but human editors, who check the domain notability to the article at hand.
From my experince with devloping and administrating PHSDL, customized SBL list is the best solution, avoiding false positives. Igor Berger (talk) 09:18, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

message: After I deleted a link to a city-data.com sub-page as spam, a user posted this on my talk page. There are currently six WP articles on cities linking to various sub-pages of the site. There are six articles linking to city-data.com and 2,487 articles linking to www.city-data.com. The pages look a little heavy on ads to me, as well as being questionable as sources. I would welcome other opinions on the links. -- Donald Albury 00:37, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

message: User:Nystul has been adding travelmalaysiaguide.com/ to various pages multiple of times after removal of such link and warning. Despite many warnings  and removals, he continues to add those link. Is there a harsher way to deal with him? Furthermore, his contributions are limited to *drumroll please* editing only the external link section. Judging by his user page, he might actually be the developer of that site and thus, Wikipedia:Conflict of interest violation, on top of spamming. __earth (Talk) 03:38, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
