Thus far only one persistent user spamming the domain. Looks to be a long standing WordPress site. Just want to get it on the radar.

User talk:विजय दमासे

Apparent spam account, edited user talk page on three separate occasions to add links to the above website. I removed the offending links and applied an appropriate warning, but figured I'd plop a note over here. Orycteropus Hyacintho (talk) 10:22, 10 January 2018 (UTC)

D'oh! I should have read instructions more clearly. Here's some diffs: initial entry, diff 2, diff 3 Orycteropus Hyacintho (talk) 10:37, 10 January 2018 (UTC)

There are two blocked accounts that also added this. The user has, on other wikis, added

Lets get a report for that as well. --Dirk Beetstra T C 12:58, 10 January 2018 (UTC)

americantablegames.com refspam

Craps + spam = crapspam? Multiple attempts to introduce link americantablegames.com to Craps. Recommend blacklisting domain. ☆ Bri (talk) 19:12, 10 January 2018 (UTC) I'm posting relevant and useful information and don't understand why it is being flagged as spam or advertising. The website has information on craps tables. Please let me know how I can make edits to the wiki without it being flagged? I feel like I am being targeted and nobody is even reading what is actually posted or following the links that cite the post. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ddog9999 (talk • contribs) 19:41, 10 January 2018 (UTC)

On this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birmingham_Boys

When you click on the first refference (www.gangland.net) (DONT!) you get redirected through a few times and end up in lame phishing schemes.

gangland.net should be banned somehow. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.68.221.36 (talk) 16:44, 18 January 2018 (UTC)

I took the liberty of removing the aforementioned link and replaced it with a good link from archive.org. Metiscus (talk) 16:51, 18 January 2018 (UTC)

highexistence.com

Readdition of apparent promotional external link once reverted (and previously warned about this) ([1]). I would be grateful if a third party evaluated if it's due, etc. Thanks, —PaleoNeonate – 00:51, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

Persistent SPA IP (currently blocked for one week), has been adding commercial real estate linkspam to multiple articles for three months. Most recent addition included use of archive.org in attempt to obfuscate the addition.[2] --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 18:20, 25 January 2018 (UTC)

SPA dynamic IP repeatedly adding advert linkspam to multiple articles. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 05:28, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

@Barek: plus Added to User:XLinkBot/RevertList (though considering to blacklist this, no real use I think). --Dirk Beetstra T C 09:07, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
@Beetstra: I suspect these are just the edge of another SEO farm. All of the IPs geolocate to the same region, and I'm finding new related URLs with each new IP that I find active in the range. Just this morning, another IP restored one of the above URLs, which led me to spotting further SPA IPs in the same range and involved with additional URLs:

@Barek: That is why I abuse XLinkBot for a moment - hoping to see some warnings on new IPs and some insistence (which you already showed now). When we have the group reasonably ready, I will blacklist. Therefore, also the next 2: plus Added to User:XLinkBot/RevertList. --Dirk Beetstra T C 07:06, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
@Beetstra: Does xlinkbot catch https additions? Saw a new IP add the original url using https, plus one additional url this morning. Will list below:

@Barek: You talk about this diff - the user used 'undid' or 'revert', which are in standard mode ignored by XLinkBot. They are however not ignored by me :-) : I see that as a 'the spammer now knows that someone did not like the link, and chose to reinsert it anyway' .. blacklisting is moments away. --Dirk Beetstra T C 06:49, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
@Barek: plus Added to MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist. You'll have to dig in the spam blacklist logs now to see the spammers. --Dirk Beetstra T C 06:50, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

Indian ISP. There's absolutely no way this could be rangeblocked. MER-C 10:57, 26 January 2018 (UTC)

Apparent sockpuppetry, promotional wording, and linkspam. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 00:31, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

openbookpublishers.com

Appears to be pushing external links to articles without further context (and user page previously G11 deleted). —PaleoNeonate – 16:34, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

Economics Network

Does the article Economics Network look a bit promotional to you? Jjjjjjdddddd (talk) 05:11, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
