Merchant cash advance

This article seems to be a frequent target for new users who want to see their company added to the list of external links. Nawlinwiki removed the list of links a few weeks ago. I caught MCAuser2013 adding a link to the list that had again grown to twelve companies. I removed the list again. Within half an hour the list had returned with four links. One user in particular, Doubletiger, has four edits to his name, all of which consist of adding a spam link. MCAuser2013 seems particularly interested in inserting one business link, but he has also inserted others. DPRoberts534 (talk) 16:59, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

spam report

180.191.61.134 (talk) 12:46, 6 September 2013 (UTC)i noticed that there is a spam here,its due to the fact that all hyperlinks are linked to a specific website,it looks like its a advertising something,and not educational

The page was entirely replaced with spam. I have reverted back to the proper version and warned the spammer. Thanks for reporting the problem. Deli nk (talk) 13:02, 6 September 2013 (UTC)

Indian SEO spam

Users

I've removed all the offending links that I could find and blocked Ramseomaster. Is there anything else that can be done about this spammer? Graham87 15:37, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

You should seriously consider blacklisting the sites. MER-C 13:11, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

indianboxofficeonline.com and ibodatabase.com

The user is almost exclusively concerned with cite-spamming the above two websites (and possibly others also under his control). According to the WHOIS information for the domains, and to the "About us" sections of the websites, the two websites are operated by someone whose name matches the Wikipedia user name. The user has been repeatedly warned about spamming (and other disruptive editing) but his only response has been to blank the warnings and continue the spamming.

User with apparent COI adding link into large number of articles. IP has been blocked twice for failing to discuss the links. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 03:25, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

Comment: After the second block, the user began to engage in the requested discussions at WT:OREGON#Watershed Spam? (or valuable E.L.?) ... although as the links go beyond that one state, the discussion may need to be moved to WP:ELN. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 16:10, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

Spam notifications regarding educationupdate.com

Articles citing educationupdate.com are being tagged for citing a blacklisted domain. From Wikipedia:WikiProject Spam/LinkReports/educationupdate.com, I infer that the issue is that in 2010 a sockpuppet user added many links to a particular topic or item published on that website. I don't see any reason why the entire website of the newspaper Education Update should be treated as a blacklisted domain. --Orlady (talk) 15:30, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

Alternate way of locating https entries which don't show up

This has been an issue for several years now - that Special:LinkSearch doesn't seem to work for locating https links in articles. Has anyone located an alternate method to locate these? Alternately, does anyone know if this issue has this ever been addressed at WP:VP/T? I tried doing an archive search, but couldn't locate a prior discussion on it. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 20:35, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

Special:Linksearch/https://*.example.com. My tool already supports https in bulk and it is trivial to search all protocols on one wiki (yes, that means I will do it... tomorrow). MER-C 13:19, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
Thanks. I noticed that Creeklife report I made earlier was using primarilly https, so wasn't showing via the default search link in the {{LinkSummary}} template. It looks like they all show correctly via Special:Linksearch/https://*.creeklife.com. Thanks again. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 16:04, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
[1]. Let me know if there are any bugs. MER-C 13:30, 27 September 2013 (UTC)
Looks good to me; thanks for incorporating it into your search. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 16:28, 27 September 2013 (UTC)
