[[DMOZ]] is our friend in spam cleanup, not just officially sanctioned but encouraged by the [[Wikipedia:External links]] guideline. You can go into a spammed wikipedia article, delete all the spam links and then tell everyone "Take it to DMOZ" and add a DMOZ link. This approach reduces the hassles of arguing over a lot of marginal or even spam links one by one. |
