qksrv.net, anrdoezrs.net, tkqlhce.com, dpbolvw.net, kqzyfj.com or jdoqocy.com

These are all affiliate tracking urls from Commission Junction. (See Commission Junction article.) If you are an advertiser, they give you a link on one of these domains and it redirects to whoever you are advertising for. It's really bad because it's seamless - if I click on the spam link, I go to the official site for whatever the article is about, so it doesn't look like spam. But really, I'm just earning points for some affiliate. I have removed several spam links to these domains. They really should be on the meta blacklist as there is no legitimate need for anyone on Wikimedia to link to any of these sites, but they won't do it unless it is an actual problem everywhere and right now, I've only seen it here.

Please blacklist the remaining CA Technologies LLC (New Jersey) domains

This persistent spammer finally got 6 of his domains blacklisted last month; see:

We identified 24 additional domains owned by this person but without links on Wikipedia at that point in time. We did not ask they be blacklisted then.

This user is now back spamming one of these other domains.[7]

Can I ask that we just go ahead and blacklist the rest of these domains? I don't think warnings[8][9][10][11][12][13][14] or even blacklisting links as we see them[15] are slowing this guy down very much.

teamicogamers.blogspot.com

A certain user has a habit of spamming his various personal blogspot sites on Ico and Shadow of the Colossus (amongst others) of which teamicogamers.blogspot is just the latest. Having been pretty much the only one dealing with this, albeit infrequently, since 2006 I am just a little tired of it now. The slow-but-never-ending nature of the spamming and dynamic-ness of the IPs involved (several accounts and the 88.203.71.0/24 range) makes blacklisting a more viable option than protection and/or blocking. – Steel 01:22, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

I did not understand these odd "Silkroadgold" edits at first.[19][20][21][22] Now that I see he has a number of gaming-related sites, some related to this, I am concerned that he will start adding game spam in addition to the current list of decorating and office supply domains.
Also note that some of the additions are semi-vandalistic or, at a minimum, inappropriate and disruptive tests on real articles.[23][24]
The spammer ignored at least 6 8 warnings that I know of; I recommend locally blacklisting all of these sites at this point. --A. B. (talk) 15:27, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Note: the entire freehostpro.com and tekcities.com domains are already blacklisted on meta, probably as a result of this user's spam. Since such blacklisting is overly broad, one or both of those domains may get removed from meta's list someday.

uffnet/uffgle spam

Per suggestion (appears to be .en only, so requesting on en.wp) after the latest in a string of semi-protection requests, the following sites:

The latest set of semi-protections have just expired, link-insertion vandalism has resumed. Again. Endless pool of one-use anon IP accounts keep adding links to these sites (one a redirect to the other) to several en.wp pages desipte apparent consensus from all (modulo these IP spammers) that the links are not appropriate. The pages get semi-protected for a while, the pp expires, the rapid-fire spamming resumes within an hour. The sites are self-promoting bloggish or vandal/attack pages best I can tell, the links are added with no assertion of notability or real relevance. DMacks 05:15, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

    • Graffiti.net is used on multiple pages here including the source for a few images (is also on de.wiki as well). This either needs to be restricted to a subdomain or all the the links have to be evaluated for spam-ness. Mr.Z-man 05:30, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
    • home.graffiti.net/webfaqs/blacklist.htm is the specific link that appears to be added (it's a redirect to uffnet). Is graffiti.net based on user accounts, and thus webfaqs/, which is not linked from WP in any other way) is the "bannable thing", or if instead need to ban only this exact URL (at risk of playing whack-a-mole with other webpages in webfaqs/). [Looks like http://www.aboutus.org/Uffnet.com uffnet is the home domain of the organization being promoted by these spamlinks. DMacks 12:26, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
    • Based on recent tandem additions, it appears that webfaqs/ is a whole nest of inappropriateness and attack/vandalism URLs. DMacks 02:43, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

blog.myspace.com

In a recent edit to Dead Like Me, I had to remove a citation to:

http://blog DOT myspace DOT com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=148913492&blogID=282378780

that a previous editor had included, since blog.myspace.com was on the blacklist. Since the citation was legitimate (the myspace page is used by an actress from Dead Like Me), I am wondering if it's a good idea to blacklist blog.myspace.com.

I was able to reintroduce the citation through a workaround: apparently the blacklist isn't enforced when you do section-specific edits, something I did a minute later. As someone who often contributes without logging in, I had noticed that external links aren't checked for in section edits, but this is the first time that there was a reason to take advantage of that loophole.

www.myperpignan.com www.perpignanfr.com Every time I added my information I also added my email address in the comments section. I had no idea who was removing me so did not know that my sites were an issue. When notified I immediately stopped adding them. However did receive some rude, insulting swearing emails from people with admin. authority at Wiki. Was not very nice. To top it off they were sent from hotmail accounts. I am not being asked to be put back on. Just removed from this spam list. I have asked in a polite manner. More than I can say for the two who emailed me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.47.129.235 (talk) 14:22, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

I don't see any reason to swear in an e-mail, so I apologize for the rest of us if another volunteer here swore at you.
Having said that, normally sites are only removed from the blacklist in response to requests from established editors who see an encyclopedic value in linking to them. Admins don't normally accede to site-owner requests, especially after they have violated our Spam Guideline. I'm not an admin here, but I don't see much chance of your site's removal, given the history of these links
and their nature ("Perpignan Accommodation Vacation Holiday Apartments" and "Perpignan Tourist Information").
You may wish to add your links to the DMOZ directory if they are not already listed there; it's a better venue for your stuff:

Multiple IP's have been adding this link to articles about India, the last few have started making minor and often unnecessary changes to the text of the article when they insert the link, presumably to reduce the likelyhood of getting reverted.

They added ~80 links over a 2 day period (most in the last 24hrs). I've cleaned them all, however, this domain should really be blacklisted --Versageek 06:32, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
Please check the discussion at the following link : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:External_links#Tossing_currenttimeindia.com_up_for_additional_opinions Opinion have been presented and seem to have agreed upon the fact that having a local time information is good for a places wiki. Please remove the link currenttimeindia.com from blacklist, since its presence in a places wiki is considered to be actually useful. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.7.17.90 (talk) 03:55, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
Not so fast. Please (re)read that thread carefully. While people agree that having local time information available is useful, they also agree that providing local time via an external link in each article is not how it should be done. In addition, they DO agree that links to currenttimeindia.com were spammed. --Versageek 12:44, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
Versageek summarizes the conversation well. There was no support for the currenttimeindia.com url and several editors condemned the additions as spamming - I can only think the request above is so that the link can be spammed again. Please leave it on the blacklist. -- SiobhanHansa 13:39, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
It is agreed that local time information should be present in a place wiki. It should be added in the template of the wiki itself. How will this be done. Can the HTML of a wiki modified directly ? Unless that happens, i don't foresee this happening any time soon. Also if it is useful piece of information how can it be spam. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.7.17.240 (talk) 05:09, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
No, the html can not be changed directly, you will have to ask for (or write yourself) an extension to the software (see m:Main Page, section with Code & Technical issues. For the definition of spam, as it is used here at least, we define spam as the mass addition of links, it does not concern what is being linked to. If you see WT:WPSPAM, you will see even reports of university sites or library sites. Wikipedia is (a.o.) not a linkfarm. --Dirk Beetstra T C 08:57, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
