I initially filed a request to add these sites to the MediaWiki spam blacklist, but was turned down and told to revert as it occurs because the links were not technically hyperlinks. However, in the past few weeks the problem has worsened considerably, with the links now being added three or more times a week. I'm wondering if there's an edit filter or bot that can catch them without human interaction. The method in which the links have been added is very predictable, perhaps done by a bot themselves, and could easily be combated by an automated function of some sort.

Portland business association spam

There is a network of these, they are being placed in articles as an external link (which is borderline) and in an infobox as if they are the neighborhood association. IP hopping. tedder (talk) 00:38, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

Oh, right, this is linked to pearlhelp.com and exploresellwood.com, which I blocked last month. tedder (talk) 00:40, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

Steelcityartst has already gone beyond a level 4 warning for spamming his own site onto Wikipedia and may be blocked. It also appears that PghIllustrator73 is an obvious sockpuppet of Steelcityartst.

SerjSagan reverted one of my removals of unsourced medical/promotional information from the article. I reverted his edit and posted a warning on his User Page. While researching the cited domain, found some interesting information:

It seems that SerjSagan is trying to use Wikipedia to promote his own site; I intend to prevent this if I can.

Another IP user (perhaps good ol' SerjSagan) has been undoing my cleanup edits to the article (and restoring a link to http://www.enhancementresearch.com). The info:

 Question: I've un-done his/her reversions of my cleanup edits, but he/she has reverted me and I don't want to edit-war with him/her. If anyone wants to offer a second opinion, I'm sure it would be welcome. Thanks! — UncleBubba ( T @ C ) 01:57, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

While the technical information in this article might be considered OK, the article has, over time, morphed into a list of links to various open-source and commercial proxy software. It seems, in fact, there is more link text than article text.

I've added a DMOZ (Open Directory Project) link to the bottom of the article in preparation for removing most--or all--the links. I also posted a note about it on the article Talk page earlier today (2012-06-05).

The more I think about it, the more I'm thinking this article should be either deleted or merged into Proxy server.

I have cleaned up a bunch of the linkspam in the Reverse Proxy article and, after seeing how little was left, proposed merging the article into Proxy server.

Studio Instrument Rentals promotional/advert

The article Studio Instrument Rentals contained an inordinate amount of promotional fluff and self-sourced claims.

Studio Instrument Rentals (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

I posted some templates a few days ago, flagging some of the worst. Tonight, I cleaned out a great deal of it. I suspect there will be pushback from one or more of the spammers, annoyed at the loss of their free advertising.

Online insurance

It seems harmless enough but, the more I read it, the more I think this unsourced article is only here for quoting purposes (Hey! Purchasing insurance is difficult--see this Wikipedia article? Use our agency; we'll keep you out of trouble.)

I was unsure whether or not to post it here and will certainly defer to others' opinions.

Online insurance (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Does anyone have any thoughts on the matter?

orangecoastdentrepair.com, maybe others?

Just removed that domain from Automobile repair shop and Paintless dent repair, typical spam-as-ref.

Other domains may be related from that IP in the past:

The latter may simply be a good-faith inclusion. Hoping someone with detective skills can look for relationships here. tedder (talk) 01:14, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

I'P's are certainly related, seems more outsourced SEO? classicbands.com needs looking into. seems there's quite a few, and the few "interviews" i saw are from other sources --Hu12 (talk) 00:01, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

I hope you enjoy your witch hunt :) I also posted the links on Billy Stewart "553 F. 2d 130 - Stewart v. Ford Motor Company". openjurist.com. ^ Settlement. Encyclopedia of Dead Rock Stars. Links on Sal Montagana ^ "Six arrested in Montagna slaying". Montreal Gazette. Quite a few on Hurricanes (I'm a retired pilot) and many others, all stuff I love to read about.(cars-mafia-flying related)

Re Billy Stewart all that was there was: Stewart died in a car accident the following January, just two months prior to his 33rd birthday.

It took me about 30-40 hours ( 1)there are a lot of Billy Stewarts 2) hard finding very old newspaper stories) to find all that I added: The accident happened when the Ford Thunderbird Stewart was driving approached a bridge across the Neuse River. Stewart's car left the highway, ran along the median strip at a slight angle to the highway, struck the bridge curbing, and plunged into the river, killing Stewart and his three passengers instantly. The car had been purchased only 12 days before and had been driven only 1,400 miles before the accident occurred. The first trial was won by Ford Motor Company, but on appeal the court ruled that the trial court's refusal to give the requested jury instructions was in error and ordered the case reversed and remanded.[1] The case was then settled out of court.[2] Do you think I did that for seo for open jurist? (or the Montreal Gazette) A little more work and you will also find I am "The Umbrella Man http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umbrella_Man_%28JFK_assassination%29 ;) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.101.66.2 (talk) 19:00, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

I notice you avoided discussing the companies you are doing SEO for. tedder (talk) 22:53, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
Only 5 IP's in range 67.101.66.0/24 have been active since Jan 01, 2008, Edits prior are unrelated. It seems the IP's would appear to be Steve Of zautos.com per the contact info in several PR releases here, here, here...ect. The connection between zautos.com and orangecoastdentrepair.com is steve, evident by his promotion of both in his google plus news feed Jun 7, 2012, May 30, 2012 and Apr 18, 2012. However it is David Vennes, who is the Founder of zAuto. Would seem fairly clear Wikipedia was just another site for Steve to exploit. --Hu12 (talk) 23:09, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

I have many adds here under many ip's. There are many plus 1's. One post for Orange Coast who was the reference for the removed incorrect information and added information. How do you say one post is spamming? One post for Billy Stewart. One for sal. Where is the connection openjurist.com classicbands.com Montreal Gazette  ? Why not take all openjurist.com down too and Montreal Gazette too ? I have plus one'ed openjurist.com Montreal Gazette too.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.101.66.2 (talk • contribs) 16:21, 17 June 2012‎

Single-purpose account, Spam and Sock puppetry

  • Users:
  • Reason for reporting: The user has made promotion at his User page. I tagged them for Speedy delete, but CricketFighter (talk · contribs) (a possible Sockpuppet of BeeWARE) has been reverted my tagging ([15], [16] and [17]), and I re-reverted that edition. Both users edited the talk page contesting the deletion, demosntrating a clear ingorance of the Wikipedia policies.
Also, is important to mention than CricketFighter has been registered just today, apparently to "help" BeeWARE with his promotional article, and upload some Out of scope files (possible Copyvio) to Commons. I'll do the correspondient report in Commons.

I recently noticed this spam revert, which led me to this blocked user. all pretty normal stuff.

Then I did a Google search to see if the spamlink was anywhere else on Wikipedia. It was - on the page of the blocked user. It appears that adding {{linkSummaryLive|lh=spam| [spam site URL] }} gives the spam site a free mention on Wikipedia that Google picks up.

I looked at the HTML source, and I see that the link has a rel="nofollow" on it, and indeed Google is not showing it as an actual link. That being said, It does show up as a text URL on the above Google search. To my way of thinking, someone who linkspams Wikipedia shouldn't get the URL of the spamsite mentioned at all. --Guy Macon (talk) 19:55, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

strange. This should fix it--Hu12 (talk) 20:31, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
the page now has <meta name="robots" content="noindex,follow" /> in the header, so Google will eventually stop showing it. I will check periodically and report when that happens.
Should we make it so that {{linkSummaryLive|lh=spam|example.com}} automatically adds the noindex? --Guy Macon (talk) 20:38, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi, could someone review the edits made by 99.126.204.164 (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • blacklist hits • AbuseLog • what links to user page • COIBot • Spamcheck • count • block log • x-wiki • Edit filter search • WHOIS • RDNS • tracert • robtex.com • StopForumSpam • Google • AboutUs • Project HoneyPot), and decide on an appropriate action. -Cntras (talk) 06:34, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

This looks like a static IP from the contribution history and so this user appears to be here to build an encyclopedia. And besides, spammers don't link to the Internet Archive copy of their site -- there's no point. MER-C 11:26, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

Should have been blocked ages ago as a violation of Wikipedia:Username policy as well as being a spam-only account. Now blocked.
The spamlinks added by this account consisted of the following domains:
  • preppymusthave.com
  • clubgent.com
  • carnegiereview.com
  • fxratenow.com
I have verified through Special:LinkSearch that none of these remain on Wikipedia. I needed to remove only one preppymusthave.com entry. ~Amatulić (talk) 16:43, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

Assorted sites claiming to offer free giftcodes for Minecraft

Spammy sites offering free gift codes for Minecraft in exchange for completing various sketchy ad-related activities. Most, if not all, sites that purport to offer codes like this are either useless, or worse, will actively steal your information. Even if these particular sites are legit, they're of absolutely no encyclopedic value to the project whatsoever.

These links have been added numerous times by various IPs to Talk:Minecraft, including:

I initially filed a request to add these sites to the MediaWiki spam blacklist, but was turned down and told to revert as it occurs because the links were not technically hyperlinks. However, in the past few weeks the problem has worsened considerably, with the links now being added three or more times a week. I'm wondering if there's an edit filter or bot that can catch them without human interaction. The method in which the links have been added is very predictable, perhaps done by a bot themselves, and could easily be combated by an automated function of some sort. elektrikSHOOS (talk) 02:06, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

 Defer to Abuse filter. You've already posted there, we'll see if the request goes through. Apart from that, there's not much that can be done apart from revert (you could ask about Cluebot, but I don't believe it does this kind of thing). I've been waiting to use that template for a long time. MER-C 14:00, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
