    Spam blacklists
    Shortcuts

    Mediawiki:Spam-blacklist is meant to be used by the spam blacklist extension. Unlike the meta spam blacklist, this blacklist affects pages on the English Wikipedia only. Any administrator may edit the spam blacklist. See Wikipedia:Spam blacklist for more information about the spam blacklist.

    Instructions for editors

    There are 4 sections for posting comments below. Please make comments in the appropriate section. These links take you to the appropriate section:

    1. Proposed additions
    2. Proposed removals
    3. Troubleshooting and problems
    4. Discussion

    Each section has a message box with instructions. In addition, please sign your posts with ~~~~ after your comment.

    Completed requests are archived. Additions and removals are logged, reasons for blacklisting can be found there.

    Addition of the templates {{Link summary}} (for domains), {{IP summary}} (for IP editors) and {{User summary}} (for users with account) results in the COIBot reports to be refreshed. See User:COIBot for more information on the reports.

    Instructions for admins
    Any admin unfamiliar with this page should probably read this first, thanks.
    If in doubt, please leave a request and a spam-knowledgeable admin will follow-up.

    Please consider using Special:BlockedExternalDomains instead, powered by the AbuseFilter extension. This is faster and more easily searchable, though only supports whole domains and not whitelisting.

    1. Does the site have any validity to the project?
    2. Have links been placed after warnings/blocks? Have other methods of control been exhausted? Would referring this to our anti-spam bot, XLinkBot be a more appropriate step? Is there a WikiProject Spam report? If so, a permanent link would be helpful.
    3. Please ensure all links have been removed from articles and discussion pages before blacklisting. (They do not have to be removed from user or user talk pages.)
    4. Make the entry at the bottom of the list (before the last line). Please do not do this unless you are familiar with regular expressions — the disruption that can be caused is substantial.
    5. 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.
    6. 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 – 435696460 after you have closed the request. See here for more info on logging.


    Proposed additions

    doyax.com , pre*.com and cre*.com

    Possible sex websites. May contain malware. Uploaded every video to YouTube. They are inappropriate and should be blacklisted to prevent spamming. --Kungfu2187 (talk) 02:44, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Do you have diffs to prove that (some) of these domains were spammed? MER-C 08:45, 22 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Long, long term spamming, involving clear COI accounts, and many 'SPA'-like accounts:

    IPs
    • IPs seem to be pretty volatile, difficult to discern.

    Note: The IPs are less clear, some are 'SPA' (but on a volatile IP that does not say too much - they may have hopped to a new IP). There are in the COIBot report many other IPs who added the link, many seem to have a 'music / film focus' in their edits, but it is unclear whether they are beloning here. Same here, there may be IPs which are accidentally SPA on a page which link them to this. Note also that a lot of the IPs here, and in the COIBot report, have deleted edits, which sometimes snowball to other SPA accounts (some are incorporated below), for the IPs it is difficult to see whether it is accidental or whether they are part of this.

    Note, all these accounts are somewhere in their edits linking to dazeddigital.com (or SPAs on articles where others relate them to dazeddigital.com), and many seem to be only editing their 'own' article.

    Its not paranoia, is mass corporate promotion. AnOthermag.com, AnOther Magazine and AnOther Man are part of the publishing group the Dazed Group, alongside Dazed & Confused and DazedDigital.com.

    timstvshowcase.com

    timstvshowcase.com likely fails WP:ELNO as it appears to be a fansite that basically just recaps a show and has links to various sites (including Wikipedia) and DVD info. The link was initally added by Hoosiertim (who may have a possible COI based on the site's name and the user name) back in early April. After being warned for spamming by Ckatz and myself, 50.90.98.177 began adding the site to various television show articles again. Neither Hoosiertim nor the IP have done anything in the article space except to add this link. IP and named account are likely the same person based on the way the link is added (no asterick is used and both users place the link above all others). IP was given a final warning today but given the history, I don't think the warning will be heeded. Pinkadelica♣ 23:58, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Guys, I'm not seeing a need to add these to the blacklist at this time, especially given the contentious article Encyclopedia Dramatica is fully-protected - Alison ❤ 02:44, 20 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Trolls are already using encyclopediadramatica.ch to harass MONGO, however. Note Cthee cthuh's contributions. —Jeremy v^_^v Components:V S M 19:25, 20 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    There are also legal issues, including criminal ones. Take a look at "User:Meepsheep/The_Bieber_Facebook_Project" on encyclopediadramatica.ch (ed.ch for short) for an example. We have impersonation, fraudulent promises, and publication of private information and photos belonging to children 13 years old and younger. This "Meepsheep" person is also a sysop and content manager on ed.ch. Social Security numbers have also been posted to one article. Combine this with the other concerns. encyclopediadramatica.com is on the meta spamlist already, so why not include a website that tries to duplicate the original. The original ED and ed.ch had and do target Wikipedians. Perhaps we should only allow links to the ed.ch Main_Page like we did to encyclopediadramatica.com? --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 15:58, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Hey guys, this is Meepsheep (the one listed above). First off, I would appreciate it if you did not speak so negatively of my work. Each and every one of those kids deserves to be on that page. Second, I would like you to show me where ED encourages attacks on Wikipedia. Sure there is documentation of vandals (such as myself) but we do not encourage personal attacks. If you do find any instances of this, post it here and I will deal with it properly as I am the caretaker of the Wikipedia portal. --MS ED.CH (talk) 05:57, 23 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    How about the fact that Meepsheep was blocked for disruptive editing, and if you're truly Meepsheep, then you'd be evading a block. --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 12:15, 23 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Links to ed.ch should not be blocked. It's telling that the russian wikipedia's article on encyclopediadramatica has a link to .ch and there is no controversy on the subject, whereas the site www.lurkmoarpedia.ru (the russian equivalent of ed) is constantly being put up for deletion as "not notable". We need to put aside any person beef we have with the site or it's users, and focus on making the article a valuable source of information. -- 852derek852 (talk) 08:51, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    No one is trying to put the ED article up for deletion. The blacklist is meant for protection, not "beefs". --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 12:30, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    I agree with everything you've just said. However, I question the motives behind adding ed.ch to the blacklist, as none of the non english wikipedias seem to have any problem with it. 852derek852 (talk) 00:00, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    That isn't particularly relevant. The non-English Wikipedias are more or less independent communities that set their own standards and best practices. plus Added to XLinkBot for now. ~Amatulić (talk) 16:57, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    New info

    I would like to note some new info that has come up in regards to the matter. First off, in terms of the Meta blacklist, it can be seen that Wnt is easily the most vocal of the two opposers to the addition of ed.ch to the blacklist. It has since been discovered that he is very involved in terms of the site and thus, his vote should be taken with the caution it deserves.

    Secondly, in terms of editing at the Encyclopedia Dramatica article, I got into a dispute with User:H644444 about two days ago. About 15 minutes after that dispute occurred, this page was created on ed.ch about me by User H64. I think we can all see the connection here. Furthermore, this user appears to be one of the ten admins on that site, which brings into question that we are likely to have a meatpuppetry event going on and any new users (in terms of being new accounts) that comment here or at Meta in opposition to adding this link are potential ed.ch members that are working together for their own ends.

    Lastly, I would like to point out that last time I checked, which was immediately before submitting this, the URL www.encyclopediadramatica.com is still on the spam blacklist. Obviously, the reasons for why it was added were valid and it should be equally obvious that, if so many people are saying that ed.ch is the same as ED and has the same content, then the same reasons would apply to it, if not even more so due to reasons partially pointed out in the discussion above. SilverserenC 07:06, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Agree, there are clear signs of meatpuppetry here. The attack page on Silver seren is one of the reasons why encyclopediadramatica.com went on the spam blacklist in October 2006.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 07:21, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Clarification: The creation of ED pages on users in general was the reason for its addition to the blacklist, not the addition of a page on me. I didn't have a page on myself on ED four years ago. Don't want to get people confused, Ian. ;3 SilverserenC 07:25, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Found this. Not sure it means much though. http://encyclopediadramatica.ch/Encyclopedia_Dramatica?oldid=169199#Is_ED_racist.2Fhomophobic.3F (yes, its sfw) --JV Smithy (talk) 01:38, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    This isn't about offensiveness; it's about protecting individuals. ED.ch hosts street addresses, phone numbers, Email addresses, nude photos, list of relatives, and more. This is about privacy and providing some security against harassment. Here's a better link: http://encyclopediadramatica.ch/Special:MostLinkedCategories – Category:People is the most used category for articles. ED.ch has more material on individuals than it does for memes and Internet culture. I think Meepsheep (an ED.ch sysop and self-described ED.ch spokesperson) displayed the attitude of ED.ch users the best: "Each and every one of those kids deserves to be on that page." --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 02:39, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Back in April 2011, I believed that it was a mistake not to put ed.ch on the spam blacklist. There is clear evidence of harassment/outing on the site, so it is now time to think again on this issue. Anyone saying "leave ed.ch alone" should be asked if they are involved with the site.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 04:26, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Don't be a hypocrite Micheal, also, the spam blacklist is for spam. Is The Wikipedia Review blacklisted? Wikipedia-watch? What about Blogger? If you have a problem with something someone has done on ED, bring it up to me. If I can fix it I will (Like I did in this situation), don't blacklist the whole site over a couple of users. In before WP:ATA. --Zaiger (talk) 01:58, 18 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    It's been long enough

    It's been two months and nothing has been happening on Meta. The last reply to the Meta section was on May 14th and nothing has been done. There have been two attempts in the past day to add a direct link to the .ch site. I fear that .ch users may be gearing up for another push on the article to include a direct link, now that we have enough reliable sources that it is feasible to say the existence of the fork in the article itself. What should be done here? SilverserenC 07:29, 22 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Proposed removals

    Political.com has been returned to its rightful owner and should not be on the blacklist. How do I go about getting it removed? Sethdillon (talk) 21:34, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    "rightful owner" doesnt appear to be a valid reason for de-listing. Infact, the site appears to Have no editorial oversight (see WP:RS and WP:V), possibly a Scraper site Made for advertising and articles are realy no different than linking to a Adsense blog or personal website (fails our External Links policy). Doesnt appear to have any evidence of copyright permission or fair-use disclaimers, which would make the link unsuitable (Linking to copyrighted works).

    infibeam.com removal

    Infibeam.com is an electronic commerce company that has been blacklisted for reference link inclusion in Wikipedia articles. How can this link be removed from the blacklist, considering that there are no intentions of advertising from the company and inappropriate linking of the site to articles?Articleonline (talk) 08:21, 17 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    travelkashmir.net removal

    i was trying to add a following link travelkashmir.net/Places/Default.aspx under the SRINAGAR page of wiki website when it came up with error message 'Your edit was not saved because it contains a new external link to a site registered on Wikipedia's blacklist.'

    getselfesteem.net removal

    Hi! I would like to request the removal of getselfesteem.net from the blacklist, and this is why: GetSelfEsteem.net is a non-promotional and a non-profitable website with a vast reservoir of high-end information regarding self-esteem issues and how to deal with them (In fact, the big article on self-esteem has helped thousands of people to overcome this issue, while hundreds of courses and ebooks couldn't help them). Also, the website contains a lot of valuable information about Optimism and self confidence. All in all, getselfesteem.net is a very high quality website that is purely dedicated to help people around the world to feel better about themselves and to lead a more successful and fulfilling life. The articles on the website touch the technical AND the spiritual aspects of self esteem, and offer countless proven ways of how to deal with them, and everything is for free, for the greater good of mankind! Thanks.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.138.182.35 (talk • contribs)

     Not done A non-notable blog does not meet our criteria for WP:Reliable sources, and thus would not be useful for the encyclopedia. Article was spammed numerous times by IPs, all geolocating to Israel. OhNoitsJamie Talk 15:24, 22 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    What part of the criteria exactly? Also, the article was on the page for over a month until some user removed it and replaced it with his article that wasn't as near as good and was selling self-help courses. I then reposed the article again and again but it was removed after only a few hours without any real reason (again, the article was on wikipedia for over a month). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.138.182.35 (talk) 15:28, 22 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    I believe this is the responsibility of some Indian SEO subcontractor (see the spam report I linked to).

    Troubleshooting and problems

    Logging / COIBot Instr

    Blacklist logging

    Full instructions for admins


    Quick reference

    For Spam reports or requests originating from this page, use template {{/request|0#section_name}}

    • {{/request|213416274#Section_name}}
    • Insert the oldid 213416274 a hash "#" and the Section_name (Underscoring_spaces_where_applicable):
    • Use within the entry log here.

    For Spam reports or requests originating from Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Spam use template {{WPSPAM|0#section_name}}

    • {{WPSPAM|182725895#Section_name}}
    • Insert the oldid 182725895 a hash "#" and the Section_name (Underscoring_spaces_where_applicable):
    • Use within the entry log here.
    Note: If you do not log your entries, it may be removed if someone appeals the entry and no valid reasons can be found.

    Addition to the COIBot reports

    The lower list in the COIBot reports now have after each link four numbers between brackets (e.g. "www.example.com (0, 0, 0, 0)"):

    1. first number, how many links did this user add (is the same after each link)
    2. second number, how many times did this link get added to wikipedia (for as far as the linkwatcher database goes back)
    3. third number, how many times did this user add this link
    4. fourth number, to how many different wikipedia did this user add this link.

    If the third number or the fourth number are high with respect to the first or the second, then that means that the user has at least a preference for using that link. Be careful with other statistics from these numbers (e.g. good user who adds a lot of links). If there are more statistics that would be useful, please notify me, and I will have a look if I can get the info out of the database and report it. This data is available in real-time on IRC.

    Poking COIBot

    When adding {{LinkSummary}}, {{UserSummary}} and/or {{IPSummary}} templates to WT:WPSPAM, WT:SBL, WT:SWL and User:COIBot/Poke (the latter for privileged editors) COIBot will generate linkreports for the domains, and userreports for users and IPs.

    Automatic archiving

    Due to the format of this this page and how we archive, most archive bots cannot function here. However I just took a few minutes and wrote a custom script that should do it for us. It makes one change to convert {{LinkSummaryLive}} to {{LinkSummary}} in order to bypass any spam filter issues. (I may need to adjust it some more). There are two variables that can be configured: stale conversations, and ones tagged with templates indicating defer/done/not done ect. Right now my thoughts would be to set stale conversations to 30 days, and those tagged to 15. Thoughts? ΔT The only constant 05:50, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    To keep this page clear, I'd like to see automated archiving - though I also like the thing we do on the whitelist: we have the open requests, which get either granted or denied, they then get moved to an appropriate section (IMHO, that could be after 24 hours), and later archived (which would be nice after say, 1-2 weeks, bit depending on size). At least they are then quick out of the 'open' area, which makes it easier to focus on what needs 'quick' attention, while still having the posts handy for some time if the problem expands to other areas, or if there are quick de-listing requests.
    I would also suggest that both 'live' links get converted (and the {{LinkSummaryLive}} converted to {{LinkSummary}}) when moving the requests.
    All in all, yes, please! --Dirk Beetstra T C 12:32, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    If you want to create the the new sections I can tweak the code. I would request that each "section" retain the primary '=' section level, so that we are not mixing section levels, but it would be trivial to adjust my archive code. Just let me know the time periods, and I could have the code operational in less than 24 hours, and then would go ahead with the BRFA process. ΔT The only constant 18:10, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    To the original question ... what is the bot name? Has it already been approved, or is it pending approval? For time duration, I think we can start it with 45 days stale, and tighten it up later if needed. I would prefer to have longer than needed as the starting point and adjust down, rather than too short and adjusting up. My only other concern is ensuring there's an easy to access emergency off switch (possibly linked from the header for this page). --- Barek (talk) - 18:30, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    I have not filed for approval yet, I wanted to flush the idea out, find issues, get those addressed, before ever going to the BRFA process. As for the shutoff, that should be trivial, just a matter of configuring a wiki page. ΔT The only constant 18:34, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Before proceeding any further, you may want to read Wikipedia talk:Blocked external links, which is proposing some changes to where these requests are submitted, as well as how the requests on the page are structured. --- Barek (talk) - 19:41, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    This is one the most visited web sites in the world, according to the LiveJasmin article. I hardly think they need to resort to malware, nor would they need to spam Wikipedia although individuals who get paid through that site might do so. However, I see no evidence of abuse, just a few links in user space plus the link in the main article. The site is mentioned in Wikipedia:WikiProject Spam/Local/livewebsexxx.com a small number of times. Maybe this is a good addition for XLinkBot. ~Amatulić (talk) 16:57, 23 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
