I can't figure out just what's going on here yet with these two users, nor can I be sure what to think of the site they are linking to. At first glance it appears to be an attempt to misdirect traffic intended for the legitimate Autism Treatment Center of Texas website to a nearly illegible spoof site replacing the .org with .com. I suspect this user is only beginning and would like him to realize that he can't outmaneuver us.
This user seems to be making some good edits to Wikipedia mixed in with the links to the phony ATCT website.

Hi. This isn't precisely spamming, but it's a link to be assiduously avoided, as they are a website Vietnam (evidence suggests) hosting complete copies of copyrighted text with no indication of licensing. I have removed all links from Wikipedia under WP:ELNEVER and WP:C. They have issued from various IP addresses, although they may be a single contributor. They all come out of Vietnam. (While I'm an administrator, I would never dream of editing it myself, as I don't even know what regex is.) :) If there's a better place to request some kind of blacklisting of this one, please let me know. --Moonriddengirl(talk)13:16, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-03-24T13:16:00.000Z","author":"Moonriddengirl","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Moonriddengirl-2009-03-24T13:16:00.000Z-givemeknol.com","replies":["c-A._B.-2009-03-30T03:42:00.000Z-Moonriddengirl-2009-03-24T13:16:00.000Z"]}}-->

There are some links in existing articles that may be legitimate. I also think there may be future legitimate white-list requests that should be reviewed with an open mind.

Company selling masturbation aids, and a longterm spammer of Tenga (masturbation toy). See Talk:Tenga (masturbation toy). My attention was drawn to this a month ago, here, whereupon I sprotected the article for a month. I could sprotect it longer, but don't see why I should constrain well-intentioned editors in order to keep out one spammer.

Looks like a generic "foosucks.org" site, such sites are of no use to Wikipedia and are not appropriate in articles, especially WP:BLP articles. I would suggest that anyone edit-warring to add such a link is being a dick. Is it being added by anons or by logged in users? If the latter then perhaps the better solution would be to block them for trolling, as their hero Larry Sanger advised.

This isn't a "source" or valid "external link" in the sense we externally link to. For example:
Links should be to established high quality useful informative resources. This site isn't one, even on the point of view it appears to advocate. It's a tiny, fringe-y forum with a significant proportion of known vandals in its users, and also fails our site requirements for reliable sources which external links should aim to comply with. (WP:ELNO)
Per WP:DENY a link to a page that has a forum for "wikivandals" to advertize their "art" is also completely inappropriate.
"in line with Wikipedia policies, you should avoid linking to a site that you own, maintain, or represent — even if WP guidelines seem to imply that it may otherwise be linked." (WP:LINKS)
"In biographies of living people, material available solely in questionable sources or sources of dubious value should be handled with caution, and, if derogatory, should not be used at all, either as sources or via external links. External links in biographies of living persons must be of high quality and are judged by a higher standard than for other articles. Do not link to websites that contradict the spirit of WP:BLP or that are not fully compliant with this guideline." (WP:LINKS)
Per WP:LINKS (again) the aim of an external link is not to provide all possible links and sites on a topic, nor even "most" of them, but we link only the very few that are considered likely to be most meritous, most reliable for citing, and highly useful to a reader. (a long established part of our job as an encyclopedia.)
While it may be of use in a controversial topic to link to a reputable "pro" and a reputable "anti" site, for further information on any controversy, this is clearly not such a case. Remove and if spammed, blacklist.

I'm putting this forward for discussion... should we blacklist the co.cc subdomain? The web site co.cc is a redirect service, and it appears to be popping up on Wikipedia as a way to get around the spam filters. (For example, the "humansfuture.org" spammer listed earlier on this page has now started sneaking links into the project by using that service.) As of this post, there are about 427 links to the subdomain:
I'm aware that there may be some collateral damage in the process, primarily in terms of personal sites links from user pages. However, given the ease with which one spammer has adopted this method, the spam-like nature of numerous others on the list, and the likelihood of this increasing in the future, it may be worthwhile to take steps now while we have a manageable situation. (Otherwise, we may end up revisiting this when there are thousands of links instead of hundreds.)

Thanks for getting on this so quickly. I'll gradually go through the list of URLs and look for approriate links. Just to clarify, how does the "Meta" blacklist differ in operation from the local one? Does it monitor pages outside of article space, and how does it react when changes are made to a page that already contains a blacklisted link?

Here's what I found:
First, here are 36 overlooked, related domains we did not blacklist before; they all share the same Adsense revenue stream:
None of these sites appears to have any useful, reliable content.
Second, I spotchecked a couple of the sites blacklisted earlier; one of them, barneydinosaur.com, blatantly violates Wikipedia's GFDL license by reproducing our content without any attribution. I wonder how many of the other sites are also scraper sites? (I didn't see scraped Wikipedia content in a brief, 30-second check of dogs.info.)

Could a solution be to un-blacklist just the page that has the list of rankings, or would the spamming issue still arise? 76.182.27.125 (talk) 00:06, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-03-12T00:06:00.000Z","author":"76.182.27.125","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-76.182.27.125-2009-03-12T00:06:00.000Z-Stifle-2009-03-11T12:17:00.000Z","replies":["c-Stifle-2009-03-18T16:15:00.000Z-76.182.27.125-2009-03-12T00:06:00.000Z"]}}-->
You can request that one or a small number of articles be whitelisted over at MediaWiki talk:Spam-whitelist, although requests from new or anonymous users are often declined.

I'm sorry for possibly violating the external weblink policy - that was not my intent at all! Having said that, I still think ScoopMill should be included on the pages for Fort Mill, Tega Cay and Indian Land, SC. The site is an informational website which includes information regarding governmental agencies, churches, restaurants, realtors, civic organizations and local events/news. It also provides a calendar of events for those towns. It seeks to be THE place where people can find daily, up-to-date information about Fort Mill, Tega Cay and Indian Land. The information provided is for residents, newcomers and those considering a relocation to the area. Again, I apologize if it seems as though I was spamming this site - my intent was merely to allow those seeking information about FM, IL and TC to find another resource for valuable information about those towns. Thanks for your consideration.

That site is not on the spam blacklist, but is on User:XLinkBot's revert list which means if it's added by a new user, it will be reverted. Why not propose the addition of the link on the article talk pages, explaining why it would benefit the article?

When the link was removed from the article, I did post there on the Talk page the same information that I posted here, and then followed up here when I was told the link was listed here. Of course, even as I posted in both places I feared I would be seen as a spammer for vehemently defending the website as a bona fide site worthy of inclusion! In any event, my hope is that the link will be allowed to be reinstated as I feel it's a good resource for folks looking for more info about Fort Mill. 67.197.145.156 (talk) 02:31, 19 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-03-19T02:31:00.000Z","author":"67.197.145.156","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-67.197.145.156-2009-03-19T02:31:00.000Z-Stifle-2009-03-18T16:18:00.000Z","replies":["c-JzG-2009-04-16T18:20:00.000Z-67.197.145.156-2009-03-19T02:31:00.000Z"]}}-->

It's not clear to me how your blog meets our standards.
As for the activerain.com domain, I see it's been a source of real trouble for us before, in spite of request that activerain.com personnel and/or realtors stop spamming us. See:
I see we even had a spam article, ActiveRain, that was deleted 5 times.
I don't see that this domain was ever blacklisted, but given the history and the content, I'm surprised it wasn't. --A.

An editor asked me to create this template - {{modelref}} - which gives a brief list of web galleries for a given model. He recently asked me to add supermodels.nl to the list of supported sites, which went through fine on the template (because the link is inside a conditional), but blacklisted it when I saved the documentation. I'm concerned that any editor who tries to add that site via the template will get the transclusion page spam-blocked. is that likely to happen, and if so is there any mechanism for excluding the template from the spam-block process? or is supermodels.nl something I should just remove from the template entirely? --Ludwigs222:48, 19 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-03-19T22:48:00.000Z","author":"Ludwigs2","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Ludwigs2-2009-03-19T22:48:00.000Z-{{modelref}}_and_supermodels.nl","replies":["c-Ludwigs2-2009-03-24T13:54:00.000Z-Ludwigs2-2009-03-19T22:48:00.000Z"]}}-->
