[edit] Linkspam
ShelfSkewed has deleted three external links with the comment:
- "rm linkspam and 2 other junky links"
The WikiProject Spam has listed twenty criteria for identifying linkspam:
- 1. User is anonymous (an IP address)
- 2. User:page and/or User_talk:page are red links
- 3. No edit summary (other than, perhaps /* External links */)
- 4. User has made only one edit, which consisted of inserting a link
- 5. User has made multiple edits to related articles
- 6. The majority of user's edits are to external links sections
- 7. The link is a site that has Google/Yahoo ads (AdSense/SM).
- 8. Edits are marked "minor"
- 9. Link is trying to sell a product or service. You can use Microsoft's Detecting Online Commercial Intention Tool to help you with the determination.
- 10. User adds links to the top of a section, above far more relevant sites
- 11. User replaces an existing link or part of an existing link.
- 12. The syntax of the added link does not match the syntax used in the rest of the list
- 13. User adds links to inappropriate sections of articles ("References", "See also", "For more information")
- 14. User adds links that have been previously removed, without discussing on the talk page.
- 15. Following a link takes you to a site that does not mention the specific topic of the page containing the link.
- 16. Link is unrelated, or only marginally related to the article. For example, link on a biography to a specific page on a genealogy site describing the person's genealogy, but not the person.
- 17. User adds links to other Wikipedia articles where he/she has already placed spam links.
- 18. User includes within the link description, "hosted on example.com" with a separate link to example.com.
- 19. Link is mangled, or it took many edits to get the syntax right. The spammer may be new to Wikipedia and not be familiar with Wikipedia syntax for external links.
- 20. Text of the link goes beyond describing the contents to actively encouraging you to read it. For example, including text such as, "Read more about [subject] in [this fascinating article]"
The deleted links do not meet a single one of the criteria for linkspam. However I am deleting one of the links for conflict of interest.Reservoirhill (talk) 14:28, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
