Talk:Spam blacklist
For more information on what the spam blacklist is for, and the processes used here, please see Spam blacklist/About.
- Proposed additions
- Please provide evidence of spamming on several wikis. Spam that only affects single project should go to that project's local blacklist. Exceptions include malicious domains and URL redirector/shortener services. Please follow this format.
- Also, please check back after submitting your report, there could be questions regarding your request.
- Proposed removals
- Please check our list of requests which repeatedly get declined. Typically, we do not remove domains from the spam blacklist in response to site-owners' requests. Instead, we de-blacklist sites when trusted, high-volume editors request the use of blacklisted links because of their value in support of our projects. Please consider whether requesting whitelisting on a specific wiki for a specific use is more appropriate.
Please sign your posts with ~~~~ after your comment. This leaves a signature and timestamp so conversations are easier to follow.
Completed requests are marked as {{added}}/{{removed}} or {{declined}}, and are generally archived (search) quickly. Additions and removals are logged.
- Other discussion
- Troubleshooting and problems - If there is an error in the blacklist (i.e. a regex error) which is causing problems, please raise the issue here.
- Discussion - Meta-discussion concerning the operation of the blacklist and related pages, and communication among the spam blacklist team.

Proposed additions
|
This section is for proposing that a website be blacklisted; add new entries at the bottom of the section, using the basic URL so that there is no link (example.com, not http://www.example.com). Provide links demonstrating widespread spamming by multiple users on multiple wikis. Completed requests will be marked as {{added}} or {{declined}} and archived. |

www-2.net
I can still not add source information to my donated pictures because (my own dowmain) www-2.net is still blocked. The previous discussion is (archived here, Summary: Yes, www-2.net will be whitelisted). For example I have donated this photo to Wikipedia and accept merciless commercialisation but I wish to reference the source on www-2.net where users can find the original photo and other versions thereof. Wikipedia encourages referencing and there are many examples of pictures that have a link to the author's own website, see: [3] [4] [5] [6]. I again respectfully request www-2.net to be removed from the spam blacklist. Y23 22:32, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
- I thought that it was going to be whitelisted on commons (here)? You should upload your images on that server (so that they are available on all wikis using commons), and you can add your link there. --Dirk Beetstra T C (en: U, T) 22:51, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
- Bedankt for the quick answer, Dirk. I am requesting removal of the spamblock alltogether. While I will -- in future -- upload pictures to commons, I would like to source-reference the already existing ones first. I am not sure why I am treated differently than other photographers (see examples above), but respectfully ask for mercy. Y23 00:12, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
This is whitelisted on Commons already. Any images elsewhere should be moved there. Since you can add links for sourcing on Commons, I don't see the need for links elsewhere. Images on English Wikipedia should simply be uploaded to Commons. — Mike.lifeguard | @en.wb 01:06, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
- How do you move images? Can I delete images? Do I have to update articles? Why make me jump through this hoop? I already promised to comply with the rules -- and in future upload images to commons. What is the advantage for wikipedia of keeping www-2.net blacklisted? Y23 03:25, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
- Please, I request a removal from the blacklist!! 124.197.37.39 05:48, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
- The link is whitelisted on Commons, where else do you need the link and for what? --Jorunn 06:12, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
- I would like to reference my already existing photos. 124.197.37.39 11:35, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
- Generally images should be on Commons. If there are images on other Wikimedia wikis they should preferably be moved to Commons. --Jorunn 22:25, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
- If someone at another project views a commons image, the information from the Common's infopage gets integrated into that project (with a header saying that this image is from the commons). If someone clicks the link at that project, will it go though commons' whitelist, or stop at that project's or meta's blacklist? --wL<speak·check> 02:36, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

genovagay.com
genovagay.com
Request reconsideration for website: www.genovagay.com The link was blacklisted, although it is very important since the city is going to host the national gay pride next June. Blacklisting a webiste with useful information for the Glbt community appears to be a really not ethical thing to do. Moreover the website is no-profit. Useful guide for the town that should be removed from the balcklist and restored for infos about the city.
- The website was not blacklisted for its content, but for it being spammed. Please keep in mind that Wikipedia is not a linkfarm. There's no need to link to each useful site. That's not our goal. Would articles benefit from linking to this site? I don't think so, but please prove me wrong. --Erwin(85) 20:30, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
Realgems.org
- Hi Erwin(85), you write on your personal page:"...I'm mostly involved with fighting cross-wiki spam and vandalism...". So you are a fine address for my request. Here is such a prove (s.a.): My external links on Wiki (all deleted in December, and my URL realgems.org being blacklisted) were added because I was sure that they would serve as a helpful addition to mineral pages / projects where too little photos of minerals and gems are shown. AND Wiki users like photos besides good infos. German mineral experts and gemstone enthusiasts have the same opinion (I got to know meanwhile).
- After an inspection of my site - what is your opinion?

Request for removal of asianmediawiki.com. One of the largest & independant Asian film/drama resources on the web. Last year external were links provided from wikipedia to asianmediawiki, without knowledge of wiki customs. Our website would be particular useful for more up to date listings in the Asian media realm on wikipedia. thanks --RamenLover 20:24, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
- Please keep in mind that Wikipedia is not a linkfarm. If useful information can be added to an article rather than linking to an external source, we prefer the former. In light of the history of abuse I see no reason to remove it from the blacklist. If a long-time contributor requests removal we will consider it, but for now this request is
Declined. --Erwin(85) 20:37, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
On the assumption that RamenLover isn't going to be adding links willy-nilly any longer (& the domain is monitored) let's remove this. Any further additions should be in consultation with other editors, for example those involved in WikiProjects. In particular, links should not be added only as a pointer to further encyclopedic content on asianmediawiki.com. Instead, that content (in particular, the biography sections) should be integrated into the Wikipedia article. Wikipedia is not a linkfarm; the domain is already in dmoz. — Mike.lifeguard | @en.wb 00:32, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
- Let's not. Claims by website owners that links to their sites would be a valuable asset to Wikipedia can be taken with a pinch of salt, and the proposal seems to be that we use it as a source, when it clearly fails the reliable sources tests. JzG 22:30, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Realgems.org - whitelisting again?
Dear friends, here I submit the actual debate on Wikipedia de:
Kind regards, F.N. Berg / Mike from Realgems.org
replaced text by link to (a mostly English) discussion on de-wiki. -- seth 21:06, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
- F.N. Berg. You say that wikipedia is helped by the images that you have on your website. As I can hardly imagine that the majority of the images that you have on your website are under any form of copyright, may I suggest that you a) upload images to commons (if the link is whitelisted there, then it can be used there on the description pages to give the source of the image), b) enhance the articles across wikipedia with the images that you uploaded. In short, I do not see the use of linking to these images from wikipdia articles, as people who find the wikipedia articles are likely to use google to find your site as well. We don't link because we need to link to pages, we link because the off-wiki site has information that can not be incorporated into wikipedia. As I said, you can upload images, and uploading images means incorporation .. --Dirk Beetstra T C (en: U, T) 20:33, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
Seth, many thanks for putting that long chapter into a link form. I'm not (yet) that Wiki expert...
Dirk, many thanks for your proposals. I will think about that. Be assured that nearly each photo on realgems is copyrighted (by dealers, collectors, jewelers, institutions). They simply gave me permission to use them because they (more than 100) are convinced that I do a good job - obviously in contrary to a few admins here. I don't know if Wiki is helped by "my" pics but I'm sure that Wiki's visitors are helped. Why? Because there were thousands of visitors to my site every month, coming via my former Wiki links. Well, I was happy to serve them, happy having created something useful - for free. Fine that "...uploading images means incorporation..." but how can I add something (e.g. texts or text parts or pics) if my site is being blocked? Didn't you know that I was "indefinately blocked" by some U.S. friends? I couldn't even add a word to my former Wiki homepage! Seems that I am regarded as a very criminal subject - put and cooked in one pot together with really bad guys.
Yeah, there are hundreds of visitors (yesterday: 329) who found my site on Google but as I always stated: I just wanted to be of assistance to Wiki articles / projects by my links. When I start a Wiki search for "moon" I don't want to find statistics of impacts or the contents of moon sand but nice and interesting pics of craters or the surface or so. Same with your visitors who use the Wiki project "tourmaline" e.g. Meanwhile I cannot condense why some admins don't want to (or cannot) understand that. F.N. Berg 22:03, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
- Hmm, then uploading is not a very good option, indeed. Although I do think that wikipedia would be helped with pictures. Uploading would be to one specific server (commons), and if uploading is a serious option, then on that wiki the link can be whitelisted. That is the type of unblocking we are discussing in that regard.
- Let me state, I am sure you are doing a good job, and I know your site has nice images. I don't think that the admins here think you are doing a bad job either, however, the way you were linking was not in line with our policies and guidelines, and that was the reason that it was blacklisted. We are, after all, writing an encyclopedia, not a directory service (and that thousands of wikipedia readers are tunneled to your site every month is not in the interest of the wikipedia article ...
- I think I understood correctly that your site is in German, right? Which would make it less useful on non-German wikis (I am not saying 'useless'!). I guess it would boil down to what those local wikis think. Can I invite you to find a wikiproject that is concerned with your links (on en, the main page is en:Wikipedia:WikiProject, a directory is linked from there to find an appropriate wikiproject; the interwiki-links (list at the left bottom of the screen, can lead you to other wikis having similar systems). Ask the appropriate wikiprojects on a couple of large, representative, wikis (en, es, it, ja, ...) if they think that the links are of interest to their project (the German vote you already have), giving them the link to this discussion here. If editors from there return here voting that the site is indeed of interest to their projects, then I guess we can proceed in delisting. How does that sound? --Dirk Beetstra T C (en: U, T) 22:44, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
- Dirk, dear, thanks for your kind and friendly assistance and proposals. One one hand I am happy having not too many visitors because I have to pay the web traffic costs myself, on the other hand I would like helping and assisting Wiki to inform people about matters like gems' colors and rough versions etc.
"...then on that wiki the link can be whitelisted..." ??? By whom? By the U.S. admins who blocked me indefinately? Surely not. And I cannot speak or read Russian, Chinese, Japanese or Thai or so...
"...and I know your site has nice images..." - and nice, worldwide reputation btw.
"...the way you were linking was not in line with our policies and guidelines, and that was the reason that it was blacklisted..." I know that meanwhile. I repeat again and again that I did that "spamming" because I haven't had ANY probs re my "spamming" from July 08 until Dec 08!
"...tunneled to your site every month is not in the interest of the wikipedia article..." Of course Wiki is no tunneling medium, especially not for my humble project. Therefore I have proposed (several times) to whitelist at least my links on Wiki's "gemstone" projects - but not only on German Wiki.
"...that your site is in German, right?" No, I do my job also in English. Have a look! Therefore all these comments and messages have been launched. If it was only in German, I never would have spent a minute to discuss the blockade of my URL. Believe me that a site only in German would have not caused such probs. I do that second, English version because I want to inform others about the interesting world of gemstones' varieties (mainly different colors). Can you imagine how many hours I spend / spent reading my dictionary for correct expressions???
Best, F.N. Berg 23:16, 19 February 2009 (UTC) (Mike / Realgems)
- The link will be whitelisted when a trusted high volume contributer on the wiki requests it whitelisted because he/she needs the link for an article.
- Declined --Jorunn 11:16, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
Would three trusted high volume German admins be sufficient to ask for a global whitelisting of my non-profit, private, educational website? F.N. Berg 12:24, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
- I whitelisted the domain on de-wiki already a few weeks ago, because there are trusted high volume contributers, who wanted to use that domain in several articles. For example de:user:Ra'ike (who is admin at de-wiki btw.) requested whitelisting. And after all I really don't see a problem to unblock this domain. But to be sure, I recommend F.N.Berg to ask at a gem portal (or some other portal which comes close to that, maybe en:Wikipedia:WikiProject_Rocks_and_minerals) in en-wiki. If they don't dislike the domain, it should be removed from the global blacklist. -- seth 20:21, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
- Seth, many thanks for your comment here. It's an important step to pull me resp. my website out of Wiki's blacklist-pot, filled with notorious spammers, ignorants and other black sheep to whom I don't want to belong.
- I am sure that other admins have meanwhile inspected my website and agree that the photos and other informations might be helpful additions at least to some Wiki minerals projects.
- I repeat: One should have a close look at (on?) my tourmaline or sapphire pages and one might agree that the combination of faceted gems and their rough versions is not worth being "indefinately blocked" worldwide!

toolquarter.com
Dear administration of Wikipedia, today I found out this link is on the blacklist of Wikipedia. I see no reason for this. Adding it to the articles concerning the Tool band, seems to be impossible now, altough this website could add something to the articles. It's all about discussing on ToolQuarter, but that's what makes Tool the band it is today. It's a complex band and people often want to share opinions and visions about it. The article on Wikipedia is far too objective on the band. I'm sure people interested in the article about Tool would be interested in reading some other visions on the music. Their are several essay's to find on it and these texts can make a difference for the articles here on Wikipedia. For instance this writing on the song 46&2; *url here*/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=144. I don't see why this couldn't be interesting for Wikipedia. ReinVO
- Declined. Fan sites and the like are not generally appropriate, Wikipedia's external link functionality exists primarily to assist readers and editors with verifying content - links to sources, good, links to forums and other stuff which does not pass our guidance for reliable sources, bad. Here's why it was added: User:COIBot/XWiki/toolquarter.com. JzG 22:29, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Troubleshooting and problems

This section is for comments related to problems with the blacklist (such as incorrect syntax or entries not being blocked), or problems saving a page because of a blacklisted link. This is not the section to request that an entry be unlisted (see Proposed removals above). |
Table of COIBot reports
Hi!
The table of the bot reported proposed additions is far to big for my browser on my computer. It takes too much time to load. I know that those reports should be closed and not be ignored, but the long loading time of this page is annoying, so I recommend moving that table to another page, e.g., /COIBot. -- seth 18:07, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
- It is already a transclusion. We could however consider to remove the "show" functionality. I'll move it into a setting if I can do it, then we can change it 'on the fly'. --Dirk Beetstra T C (en: U, T) 18:13, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
- I think he means in this page. We can switch to just linking to it. I'll do so now (instead of removing ajax translusion!) — Mike.lifeguard | @en.wb 19:19, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
- Thx, Mike, this was what I meant. But it seems to help just a bit, because #User:_namespace_abuse is also slowing down the whole page. Well, perhaps I just have to accept that my 466MHz-celeron is too slow for this page. :-( -- seth 21:18, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

- I have a strong feeling it is the number of linksummary templates which causes the problem, I also see a rise in loading time since we have that huge list here. Loading User:COIBot/XWiki however takes seconds. --Dirk Beetstra T C (en: U, T) 21:22, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
- It takes so much time now, that firefox always askes me, whether the js-scripts should be stopped.
- The size of this page is 1.3MiB at the moment. -- seth 21:39, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

This section is for reporting abuse of userpages for promotional purposes; add new entries at the bottom of the section, using the basic URL so that there is no link (example.com, not http://www.example.com). Abuse across several wikis should be reported here; please provide links to example behaviour. Completed requests will be marked as {{added}} or {{declined}} and archived. |

Spammed user talk or user page and on Meta also another page, commons, meta, simplewiki (own user talk), mediawikiwiki (own user talk), ru:wb (own user talk), ru.wiki (own user talk), en.wiki (own user talk). Account is global (from 20th) and I found no other contributions than these "important" infos about him with the spamlinks anywhere.

- (edit conflict) This strange guy spammed with different links.
- He started with
- canon1000d.ru
- canon1000dkit.ru
- canon50dbody.ru
- canon50dkit.ru
- canon5d.ru
- canon85is.ru
- canoneos40d.ru
- canoneos450d.ru
- canong10.ru
- canonsx10.ru
- which don't exist. And the user continued with
- meatsalad.ru
- phoneall.ru
- receptsous.ru
- saladmeat.ru
- saladveg.ru
- siteons.ru
- sousrecept.ru
- vegsalad.ru
- web-hostings.ru
- web-siteon.ru
- which exist. Maybe, the first part was meant to be something like a test.
- I'll add the second part of domains to the sbl. But I guess, this block can be temporary. After say 6 months the entries could be removed from the list. Added -- seth 21:21, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks, maybe it was a test, however, they are confirmed socks and the IP and DosChild did spam the same links (second part You mentioned), thanks for adding, best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 21:25, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
- Hello, I have now added the first part too, because he continues to created nonsense pages crosswiki with them, best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 00:45, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Is it ok to put referral links on your user page?

Screencasts
I was thinking of ways to get new contributors to the SBL & decided that simply not knowing what to do and how to do it is probably a big barrier for people. So, I'm going to make a series of screencasts to cover some of the tasks we do here, which should hopefully be helpful for recruiting new people.
Your comments about the one I've already done are welcome. Mardetanha has said this is helpful, so I think this will be a worthwhile project to continue. I've already learned a few things that should make the end result higher quality for the next ones. — Mike.lifeguard | @en.wb 18:32, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
Toolserver replication halted
FYI: cluster s3 won't be replicated to the toolserver for the time being, see mailarchive:toolserver-l/2009-January/001766.html. This affects the results of the toolserver's tools for most wiki's, e.g. tools:~erwin85/xwiki.php won't be up-to-date. The English Wikipedia is on cluster 1 and the German Wikipedia, Dutch Wikipedia and a handful of other projects are on cluster 2. --Erwin(85) 21:07, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
- New hardware has been ordered & should arrive in about 2 weeks. s1 will be moved to the new server at that point, and s3 will be re-imported on it's own server. — Mike.lifeguard | @en.wb 01:59, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
- Earlier today:
<ekimmargni> Do we have an estimate for hardware delivery? The masses are getting rowdy. <DaBPunkt> later <DaBPunkt> should be this month <ekimmargni> that seems incredibly slow... is that a normal length of time for hardware of this type? <DaBPunkt> for us: yes <DaBPunkt> it's not only the delivery; somebody has to travel to amsterdam and montage [mount, or more properly, rack] it
- Servers should arrive Monday & be racked later that week. It'll be usable the following week. Or so they say. — Mike.lifeguard | @en.wb 18:27, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
