    If a user follows the link, listed as the official site for Sara Ramírez, they will be redirected to a malicious website where a html exploit is used to install malicious code on the affected system. Site has numerous redirections to a well known trojan site. Number four on wiki guidelines, WP:LINKSTOAVOID. There is no business ADR DESIGN in New York City. [I do get a match for a Mr. Rodriguez, however at the same address and phone number/ http://www.aldrodriguez.com/site/index.htm] Moreover, this site doesn't seem to have any evidence of having contributions by the actress herself.

    Couple of things to counter the McCafee assessment and redirections: The site is listed as the "official site" on IMDB, but with a clear disclaimer at the bottom. And, this is simply conjecture, but I don't think the domain owner's intent is for profit or malicious, he looks to be involved in the same profession and her "official site" does get consistent fan forum postings. The contact information for the actress is update and correct.

    Lean manufacturing

    User:jbillh only promotes his favourite link: Links to Value-adding Lean Resources NOT Available on Wikipedia. He additionally adds claims about "consensus", "established practices" and "conversations with editors", but I see no evidence of such. I believe it not only reflects WP:COI but also serves to promote his website and even email address. A suggestion by User:AbsolutDan here was to add a link to a DMOZ directory, but that's been, ahem, taken as license to link to his own directory. I plan to start treating it as linkspam, but would appreciate any guidance (and support once the inevitable reversions start!) Thanks and a happy New Year.

    My URL is blocked - why I am not allowed to repair my fault?

    On 20 Dec my URL was blocked and all links to it were deleted. I made the fault that I added too many links to my own website. I did not know that that is not allowed. I proposed to delete my links myself but I cannot do it because there are no links anymore, logic. I run a non-commercial, educational website: realgems.org (I cannot write the complete URL because it is blocked). I never wanted to spam Wikipedia: Since JULY 08 I added links to my special pages without problem. No deletion, nothing. Now, on 20th Dec, all links were blocked. Reason: spamming. I wrote to someone from Wikipedia who is (perhaps besides others) responsible for this blockade. Finally he told me that he doesn't know how to help me. Then I wrote to a Wiki admin who added a lot of links to other websites, as I did. These links were not regarded as spam, surely because these sites are not his sites. No problem for me but he suddenly cancelled the talk. Now I don't know how to proceed now. I even offered him to become a Wiki member, re additions to various pages ("projects"). No chance. Another problem is that many of my visitors have added links to my site on various Wiki pages, from America to Asia. Their links were also deleted. I find that not very adequate because a lot of the international public (of Wikipedia) seems to be interested in my website, and I made just the fault to add too many links to my own site. Please help me so that at least their links will be re-installed. Then, as I proposed, I will become a valued Wiki supporter / editor. Is that a fair proposal? I think so.

    The URL isn't blocked directly on Wikipedia, it's blacklisted at m:Spam blacklist, which is a central blacklist used by all Mediawiki projects (which Wikipedia is just one of many). The discussion and justification for this is documented at m:Talk:Spam_blacklist#realgems.org. --- Barek (talkcontribs) - 20:29, 28 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Dear Barek, thanks for your quick response. But what shall I conclude from your message? What can I do? What can you do so that a well-respected website can be reached also on Wikipedia again? Redberyl (talk) 20:36, 28 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    As it's not blacklisted here, the only way to remove the blacklist would be to address the issue at m:Talk:Spam blacklist#Proposed removals; the only thing that could be done directly at Wikipedia would be to request whitelisting on this specific project at MediaWiki talk:Spam-whitelist#Proposed additions to Whitelist (sites_to_unblock). However, I should mention that in both cases, requests by site owners are rarely granted without support from established editors. --- Barek (talkcontribs) - 20:46, 28 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]


    Dear Barek, I'm very thankful for your supportive messages. O.K. I will try to put my humble request on the Wiki pages you mentioned.

    Btw I cannot send an email to your address. They came back as undeliverable.

    Conflict of interest guidelines

    I'm trying to get the conflict of interest guidelines rewritten to be clearer in terms of what is allowable from people with conflicts of interest. At the moment they seem to allow most edits, but there are also several parts saying COI editing is strongly discouraged. It is not clear whether COI editing is generally unacceptable or only when it results in bad edits. I have written a proposed revision of the guidelines, but because of my own conflict of interest I really don't want to make any kind of change without consensus. Since the majority of spam seems to result from conflicts of interest, people in this project should put forward their thoughts at User talk:Helenalex/coirewrite or on the conflict of interest guidelines talkpage. --Helenalex (talk) 05:18, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    These could be very well all one person. Discussions with Logistictech have gotten him to stop adding the link. The discussions haven't gone very well though, so I thought it best to document in case of further problems. --Ronz (talk) 01:20, 31 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    http use on this page

    I understand the concerns of Lustiger seth and why he is removing the http tags from this page; but the use of an http link only causes an issue if the entry is added to the blacklist, and only a small percentage of entries at WT:WPSPAM are actually added to the blacklist. For the rest, the http actually serves a useful purpose. By having the link functional, it's many times easier to locate prior spam reportings of the link via Special:LinkSearch which will then turn up the links in the talk archives pages of WT:WPSPAM.

    For the few cases where the entry does get added to the blacklist, it's easy enough to remove the http link at that time. Otherwise, the link eventually gets archived by MiszaBot - as archives shouldn't be edited, the link doesn't cause any problems at that point and are easily picked up by the LinkSearch.

    Other opinions on this? --- Barek (talkcontribs) - 16:09, 31 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Template:LinkSummary is a wonderful thing.. it provides all the research benefits of a regular http link, without the side effects should the URL be added to the blacklist. --Versageek 16:30, 31 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Though I've gotten into the habit of not using http here, I've been thinking of starting this same discussion for the same reasons given by Barek. The regular increase in spamming due to the holidays has me thankful that most spammers I encounter aren't very sophisticated in their approach. Though it hasn't happened often, http links in archived spam reports have been very helpful in tracking down the more sophisticated spammers. --Ronz (talk) 16:34, 31 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    To the best of my knowledge, that template is not a replacement. From the template, I've always used the links "en" and "20" - and they will only turn up results if the http tag was used in the link (same as using Special:LinkSearch). While both methods turn up where the links are currently in use, without the http link added to this page, it does not turn up prior reportings of the link. By removing the http tags, the prior reports in the archives of this talk page are effectively invisible to those tools. Or is there another way to use the template that I've missed? --- Barek (talkcontribs) - 16:36, 31 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    An example to illustrate the point:
    ecompetitors.com: Linksearch en (insource) - meta - de - fr - simple - wikt:en - wikt:frSpamcheckMER-C X-wikigs • Reports: Links on en - COIBot - COIBot-Local • Discussions: tracked - advanced - RSN • COIBot-Link, Local, & XWiki Reports - Wikipedia: en - fr - de • Google: searchmeta • Domain: domaintoolsAboutUs.com
    From that template, I cannot see that the link was previously reported and the prior report is in Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Spam/2008 Archive Dec 1. If the http tag had been on the entry, you would see that entry from the archives via either the template or the special page. --- Barek (talkcontribs) - 16:46, 31 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Lustiger seth's removal of the http, is unessesary. The removals are under the presumption that having an existing hyperlink would trigger MediaWiki's software filters, however this is not the case for existing links, or cases where a link resides on a page prior to blacklisting. I recall this was an issue in the past, but MediaWiki's software was adjusted to fix this. Only new additions of a blacklisted URL triggers the spam filter (perhaps this is no longer the case?). I can't recall the links to where these previously discussed issues are, however there is not a need to edit others contributions.--Hu12 (talk) 19:05, 31 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Hi!
    You should not use links in titles of discussion thread, because you won't be able easily to place a link to a paragraph which consists of a blacklisted link (if the title of a thread is http://www.example.org and example.org will be blacklisted after that, it is forbidden to use the link Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Spam#http://www.example.org). I've had that problem when trying to log a blacklist addition iirc.
    Apart from that: How do your archive bots work here? When they move a thread that has a blacklisted link inside, the bot has to cope with the spam filter, because the bot seems to add a forbidden link (to the archive). -- seth (talk) 21:26, 1 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    If this page were WP:SBL, then I would agree with you. But, as I mentioned above, only a fraction of the submittals here get blacklisted. For the handful that do get blacklisted, it's a fairly minor thing to change the thread to remove the link. The majority of entries here do not get blacklisted (they exist here primarilly for discussion and/or tracking purposes), there is no problem leaving them as links. And leaving them as links gives the advantage of making it more visible that it has been previously reported should the link ever turn up again (ie: if it gets reported again, it will turn up in a linksearch as existing in the archives - a sign that it's a recurring issue that may require a submittal to WP:SBL). I've found that the wiki's "Search" function isn't reliable for spotting those in the archives.
    Because the majority of entries here are not blacklisted, the bot has no problem archiving the entries.
    If you have a better tool for easily finding that a link has been reported once or more in the past (showing prior entries of the link in the archives), then this isn't an issue. Otherwise, removing the link makes it harder to spot if it has been a previously reported link that may pose an on-going/recurring problem. --- Barek (talkcontribs) - 23:11, 1 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    Hi!
    You can use the internal wiki search, e.g. search for "wallnia.com" prefix:Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject Spam. -- seth (talk) 17:32, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    As I stated above, "I've found that the wiki's "Search" function isn't reliable for spotting those in the archives."
    For the best shot at turning up the results, you need to insert the "prefix" tag to the search - otherwise you get many false positives. To be blunt, that's a pain in the arse to need to type or paste in each time - to me, it's more of a hassle than the fairly rare need to remove the http tags from this page.
    I suppose if the search were pre-formatted within the {{LinkSummary}} template to include the spam archive search, that would reduce my concerns as it's then one click and would eliminate the need to manually insert the needed search criteria. Otherwise, you're just trading one inconvenience for another. --- Barek (talkcontribs) - 17:43, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    OK, I'll ask for that at Template talk:LinkSummary. -- seth (talk) 19:50, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    While this site does have value, the identified IP has been a WP:SPA whose sole purpose has been to place the link into as many articles as possible, even where the linked article provides little to no useful information directly on the article subject. The IP has received over four warnings on this already - yet has thus far not participated in any discussions. --- Barek (talkcontribs) - 16:06, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    A WP:SPA blanketing a museum link to multiple articles. While a handful of these may be appropriate, most are only marginally related to the article subject and fail WP:EL and WP:NOT#REPOSITORY. --- Barek (talkcontribs) - 19:40, 4 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
