From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming, and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising. Thanks.

You are adding the same material that we have warned the others not to add:

Do not do this. If you use anonymous IP addresses to try to bypass a block on Lesb246, you will find the IP addresses also blocked and the all the blocks extended.

Traceroute and whois data indicate this IP address is registered to a Radisson Inn in the Pacific Northwest, possibly Spokane. --A. B. (talk) 08:28, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The openly posted Global Spam Blacklist -- next stop for www.eou.edu? or just www.eou.edu/dde?

Think carefully about how hard you want to push your persistently inappropriate, self-interested editing and linking. The next step is to blacklist the domains you persist in adding links to.

See this discussion of the Global Spam Blacklist for all language versions of Wikipedia. We hate to add organizations such as yours to it. The list is openly posted as you can see and can be crawled by all the major search engines. There are rumors in the spamdexing world that Google and others refer to our blacklist in determining whether to penalize web sites as probable link-spammers in their page rank calculations. Maybe this is true, maybe it's not.

In any event, blacklisting http://www.eou.edu/dde is the next step if necessary. That and possibly a complaint about EOU link-spamming to the university's officially designated point of contact for Internet abuse issues at the Oregon State System of Higher Education. --A. B.
