Hey guys, I could use some feedback on this before any action is taken, but this has all the hints of spam. One user, Ivanspeeds, has added numerous references to Reelmonk.com [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rasputin_(2015_film)&diff=prev&oldid=696861146][https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Unto_the_Dusk&diff=prev&oldid=696889556][https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Unto_the_Dusk&diff=prev&oldid=696889556]. He's not linking to the site, but it seems rather spammy to me. On the other hand, it's pretty common in Western film articles for people to mention availability through services like Netflix. So, spam or no spam? Thanks. [[User:Cyphoidbomb|Cyphoidbomb]] ([[User talk:Cyphoidbomb|talk]]) 21:25, 8 January 2016 (UTC) |

Hey all, found this Indian IP spamming it to two articles [1][2] as the "official profile" for these actors. While looking for more links, I found this SPI on Decentnil, who appears to have been tied to some earpixels.com spam. Looks like some IPs he used are from India. Also found additions from 117.207.158.250, 117.212.55.154, 59.96.142.157, 117.199.105.30 and a couple of others. While I haven't organized them by date, it looks like over the last week or so, he's been adding about one per day, then hopping to another IP the next day. Definitely seems coordinated and warnings/blocks aren't likely to stop the spam. I'm removing the links. Thanks. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 18:18, 25 December 2015 (UTC)

Directly related to the earpixels spam, an IP editor from India attempted to spam ouo.io at one of the articles reported above using the same formatting style (adding the link as an "official profile" to the infobox). This appears to be a link shortener, and while I can't see the destination page (I use TOR for link checks and my javascript is turned off) it seems to be the same MO, and we shouldn't be using these sketchy link shorteners anyway.

Keep an eye out for these - they've been popping up all over the place. -KH-1 (talk) 23:13, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
Largely self-published author spamming the 'pedia for years now; recently warned; ignored final warning and continuing to spam
Glenncheney (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · blacklist hits · AbuseLog · what links to user page · count · COIBot · Spamcheck · user page logs · x-wiki · status · Edit filter search · Google · StopForumSpam)
User's edits on WP have been almost wholly dedicated to spamming his own books, usually by adding unneeded "further reading" sections with one of his books. User was warned in July about his COI: [3]. User did not respond, and continued with COI spamming after being warned. I came across him three days ago, removed a couple dozen items of spam he had added, and warned him once again about COI and spamming the 'pedia: [4] [5]. Editor did not reply, and is spamming again after a final warning: [6] [7].
I am asking an uninvolved admin to block this user and blacklist his publications. He is clearly here solely for self-promotion and is violating basic policy. I do not believe he is here to improve the 'pedia and that allowing him to remain or return will simply result in more cleanup work as he violates policy some more. - CorbieV ☊ ☼ 18:58, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
- Its to bad we could not get this experienced writer to help with content. -- Moxy (talk) 19:42, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
- FWIW, I haven't had any interaction with this user aside from removing his spam and posting warnings on his page (that he has ignored) but I haven't been doing much blocking lately and I think it would be cleaner for another admin to press the button. - CorbieV ☊ ☼ 20:43, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
- OK, since things are slow here, and given that I've researched this and reported above, I'm going to block him myself. Any admins feel free to review if you think it should be changed or adjusted. Personally I think he deserves an indef-block, but I'll give him a week and see if he changes his ways if and when he returns. - CorbieV ☊ ☼ 18:55, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
pak101.com
Hey all, anybody have any thoughts about pak101.com: Linksearch en (insource) - meta - de - fr - simple - wikt:en - wikt:fr • Spamcheck • MER-C X-wiki • gs • Reports: Links on en - COIBot - COIBot-Local • Discussions: tracked - advanced - RSN • COIBot-Link, Local, & XWiki Reports - Wikipedia: en - fr - de • Google: search • meta • Domain: domaintools • AboutUs.com
The link is present in a ton of articles: Cross-wiki link search
However, if you click a few random samples, like this Pak101.com article and compare it to this version of the Wikipedia article, they're almost identical. Or Umer Sharif at Pak101 vs this version of the Wikipedia article is pretty close. And Noor Bukhari looks a lot like this article at Pak101. My point being, that it seems Pak101 is likely mirroring or scraping Wikipedia, and our more ignorant users might be inadvertently referencing Wikipedia itself in these articles. Any thoughts for whether or not this should be added yet? Or how to figure out which came first, the Pak101 articles or the Wikipedia articles? Thanks. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 21:30, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
- Whichever came first - the WP content or the pages on pak101 - the pak101 content linked above does not cite any sources. The content may or may not have come from WP, but that actually matters less, imho, as the issue that the pak101 blurbs do not look to meet the WP:RS criteria. My opinion based on the links you posted is that those pak101 pages are unacceptable as a source on WP. If you can figure out the chronology here, and the WP content is copied and pasted from pak101, I would delete the WP content as copyvio. I'd go through the page history, and see if you can figure out which came first. My hunch is that pak101 swiped it from WP, but I haven't dug into it. I would also look for the account(s) adding this content and see if they are actually contributing to the 'pedia or just here to spam. Additionally, if the pak101 links that are added are simply mirrors, and add no new information or sourcing, they are probably being added as WP:CITESPAM, much as in the case above. - CorbieV ☊ ☼ 18:54, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
- I looked up a few Pak101 articles at The Wayback Machine, but I couldn't definitively figure out which content came first, theirs or Wikipedias. I've got some feelers out at WP:RSN and at the noticeboard for Pakistan-related topics to see if anyone has any thoughts about this site. So far the three comments I've received (including yours) seem to dislike pak101.com as a reference. One person pointed out that this article at Pak101 is clearly not written professionally and I would have to agree that it's garbage. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 22:43, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
- I removed pak101.com from a number of articles today. That might be all that we need for now until it flares up again. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 19:29, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi all, my first report on this was in September 2015. Looks like it was archived with no action. Since then I've noticed this 122.169.* IP add the site to an article, calling it the "Official Site" for the movie, which is unsubstantiated and dubious. The link was also added in November 2015 in this article for Lakme (2016 film). (Sorry, only admins will be able to access the link), an article created by a now-indeffed user named "Deewane India". Another 122.169.* IP added the link a few days ago here calling it "Official Page" and another 122.169.* added the link here in December. Thanks. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 19:41, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

I've not looked to see if they've been spammed. Clearly, muliple editors have overlooked the problems with the citations in this article. There are so many that I don't have time to go through them all right away. Some of these may actually be reliable sources in some circumstances, but I thought it best to place the ones I don't immediately recognize here where others can look through them: --Ronz (talk) 21:23, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

Hey guys, I could use some feedback on this before any action is taken, but this has all the hints of spam. One user, Ivanspeeds, has added numerous references to Reelmonk.com [8][9][10].
