Revision as of 07:10, 12 November 2017
Spam blacklists |
---|
|
Mediawiki:Spam-blacklist is meant to be used by the spam blacklist extension. Unlike the meta spam blacklist, this blacklist affects pages on the English Wikipedia only. Any administrator may edit the spam blacklist. See Wikipedia:Spam blacklist for more information about the spam blacklist.
There are 4 sections for posting comments below. Please make comments in the appropriate section. These links take you to the appropriate section:
Each section has a message box with instructions. In addition, please sign your posts with ~~~~ after your comment.
Completed requests are archived. Additions and removals are logged, reasons for blacklisting can be found there.
Addition of the templates {{Link summary}} (for domains), {{IP summary}} (for IP editors) and {{User summary}} (for users with account) results in the COIBot reports to be refreshed. See User:COIBot for more information on the reports.
If in doubt, please leave a request and a spam-knowledgeable admin will follow-up.
Please consider using Special:BlockedExternalDomains instead, powered by the AbuseFilter extension. This is faster and more easily searchable, though only supports whole domains and not whitelisting.
- Does the site have any validity to the project?
- Have links been placed after warnings/blocks? Have other methods of control been exhausted? Would referring this to our anti-spam bot, XLinkBot be a more appropriate step? Is there a WikiProject Spam report? If so, a permanent link would be helpful.
- Please ensure all links have been removed from articles and discussion pages before blacklisting. (They do not have to be removed from user or user talk pages.)
- Make the entry at the bottom of the list (before the last line). Please do not do this unless you are familiar with regular expressions — the disruption that can be caused is substantial.
- Close the request entry on here using either {{done}} or {{not done}} as appropriate. The request should be left open for a week maybe as there will often be further related sites or an appeal in that time.
- Log the entry. Warning: if you do not log any entry you make on the blacklist, it may well be removed if someone appeals and no valid reasons can be found. To log the entry, you will need this number – 809907192 after you have closed the request. See here for more info on logging.
- →Snippet for logging: {{/request|809907192#section_name}}
- →Snippet for logging of WikiProject Spam items: {{WPSPAM|809907192#section_name}}
- →A user-gadget for handling additions to and removals from the spam-blacklist is available at User:Beetstra/Gadget-Spam-blacklist-Handler

Snooker fansites
Four websites are to be considered for blacklisting:

This has been discussed at Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Persistent_use_of_fansites_at_snooker_player_articles and the general view is that blacklisting these four sites would help address the problem. Nobody has objected to blacklisting them. Betty Logan (talk) 13:42, 30 October 2017 (UTC)

I've emailed off-wiki evidence to functionaries. ☆ Bri (talk) 18:44, 9 November 2017 (UTC)

There are 430 links to Stormfront on Wikipedia. The appropriate number may be as high as three. have removed most uses of Stormfront as a source in article, over the months and years, but it is regularly proposed on talk pages.

I am unsure why this domain was originally added but suspect it has to do with the domain being linked to multiple times over 2 days in 2016: [2]. I am associated with the owner of the domain and was not even aware of this blacklisting until yesterday.
After some investigation I found the linkreport above yesterday. Checking company records, in August 2016 a very keen student interned for the owner. It seems this person added content found on the domain as a Wikipedia source no less than 13 times. This makes the blacklisting understandable.
I ask the domain be removed at this time as this undesired behavior was solely the work of an overly keen intern spread out over two days. The domain is home to a reputable business covered by media such as Financial Times, The Guardian and Forbes. The business produces journalistic content that may be valuable to use as a future source. Henk Sluipert 14:42, 31 October 2017 (UTC)

In 2014, User:Onshisan wrote in the Stephen Gaetz talk page that "the external link to "Canadian Homelessness Research Network is broken (top-level domain is dead). Preliminary searching suggests that homelesshub.ca is the new home for this content. homelesshub.ca/content/about-us seems to be an appropriate link; however, when I try to update it I find that homelesshub.ca is blacklisted. Will update later." Why is this invaluable resource on homelessness in Canada still blacklisted?Oceanflynn (talk) 00:47, 4 November 2017 (UTC)
- @Oceanflynn:
Declined,
Defer to Whitelist for specific links on this domain, specifically 'homelesshub.ca/about-us'. Regarding why this is (still) blacklisted?: because there was a whole sockfarm that was spamming this site, while there is only limited use for it (as the official website of the subject, and a few references). When sockfarms and/or multiple vested editors are getting involved, we tend to control, basically per wmf: Terms of Use. By the way, homelesshub.ca is not the homepage of the subject Stephen Gaetz, it is the homepage of the Canadian Homelessness Research Network, with an official website of a subject we generally mean a site that is about the subject, controlled by the subject (which for some subjects does not exist, or could boil down to a personal twitter). In this case, I would remove the link to homelesshub.ca or whatever, and I would decline the whitelisting for such a request. --Dirk Beetstra T C 05:14, 4 November 2017 (UTC)
- Note, homelesshub.ca is not the homepage of the Canadian Homelessness Research Network, it is http://homelessresearch.net/. --Dirk Beetstra T C 05:15, 4 November 2017 (UTC)
- Thank you Beetstra for all of your work on black and whitelists. I was unable to locate the Wikipedia items that archive the original problem with the sockfarms and/or multiple vested editors. When did this happen? It had to have been before 2014 but after 2007 when the hub site was created. Are these vested editors still active on this largely academic we hub which provides sources on homelessness in Canada? Are current valid researchers being punished for something that happened years ago? Was it a case of students who were overzealous and who are no longer involved? Was it a case of academics who are still involved but overly passionate at the time? Have they been "reformed" to comply with Wikipedia standards? This site is not a commercial site. It is a site for academics and researchers looking for reliable sources for reliable content. The name associated with homeless hub is still listed as Stephen Gaetz. His work is supported by SSHRC grants in Canada which is the leading federal government funding agency for postgraduate/academic grants. SSHRC and NSERC are highly competitive so only top researchers on the most topical questions receive these grants. What were these puppets trying to promote? Ideas? Where can we see this discussion about homelessness that was so one-sided? I would like to request input from other editors who will take the time to investigate this fully. I have never worked for, have any connection to Gaetz, the university he works for, his organization, homelesshub.ca. However, I am interested in issues related to poverty, homelessness in general. Did you actually take time to revisit this site in November 2017 and examine its content?
- I respectfully and formally request more investigation into this from other administrators. In this case it performs the function of gatekeeping, blocking access to Wikipedia readers (and editors) to a gateway of current, valuable Canadian federally SSHRC-funded academic research on a topic that is so often overlooked. Kind regards. Oceanflynn (talk) 15:54, 4 November 2017 (UTC)
- Punished? Do you have any homelesshub.ca */ evidence to the contrary? How many cases we have where editors where considering to use it? Our normal practice is to first go through whitelisting to assess need and scope. Second opinions are, of course, welcome. —Dirk Beetstra T C 18:05, 4 November 2017 (UTC)
- You asked, it was blacklisted in December 2009. It did not take me long to find a very clear COI account in 2013 (both old and new username are clear). Another in late 2014 is suspect (10 edits to become autoconfirmed, then editing only in this subject area). An account in 2011 is also a clear COI. (I earlier found a student project as well, can’t find it back now. Maybe there is more)
- For now, lets say that it is confirmed that editors more than 3 years (and maybe 5 years) after blacklisting still did not get that their COI should restrain them. —Dirk Beetstra T C 19:51, 4 November 2017 (UTC)
- The students, albeit Canadian, seem unrelated. —Dirk Beetstra T C 20:14, 4 November 2017 (UTC)
- Hi, I was just going to post here regarding the Homeless Hub as I want to link to a page on the site and was surprised to find it blacklisted. I'm an editor and not associated with the HHub in any way, though I do work at the academic institution where it is housed. I have not encountered blacklisting before so please excuse any ignorance on my part. I have been reading through the history and trying to understand the issue. The site does contain useful and unique research materials and is a major research centre on homelessness in Canada. It is unfortunate that there were COI incidents, but there is good content there. Are there any further actions that can be taken to shift this situation? Smallison (talk) 03:24, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
- @Smallison: for now I stand with my earlier decision (seen some 7 years worth of COI editors editing, even while it was blacklisted):
Defer to Whitelist for specific links that are needed. I understand there are pages that would benefit from this, but in number of links and number of pages that is going to be just a few. —Dirk Beetstra T C 04:04, 6 November 2017 (UTC)

Unfortunately, I do not know why the site was blacklisted. Search in blocking logs returned no results; neither did the "tracked" and "advanced" links or any other links mentioned in the header box. This site is run by a major aluminium producing company, Rusal, and I intend to use it for the article aluminium and possibly a few related ones. I would greatly appreciated if someone removed the site from the blacklist or at least explained by it was added there in the first place and what could be done to remove the site from the blacklist.--R8R (talk) 12:39, 6 November 2017 (UTC)

Addition to the COIBot reports
The lower list in the COIBot reports now have after each link four numbers between brackets (e.g. "www.example.com (0, 0, 0, 0)"):
- first number, how many links did this user add (is the same after each link)
- second number, how many times did this link get added to wikipedia (for as far as the linkwatcher database goes back)
- third number, how many times did this user add this link
- fourth number, to how many different wikipedia did this user add this link.
If the third number or the fourth number are high with respect to the first or the second, then that means that the user has at least a preference for using that link. Be careful with other statistics from these numbers (e.g. good user who adds a lot of links). If there are more statistics that would be useful, please notify me, and I will have a look if I can get the info out of the database and report it. This data is available in real-time on IRC.
Poking COIBot
When adding {{LinkSummary}}, {{UserSummary}} and/or {{IPSummary}} templates to WT:WPSPAM, WT:SBL, WT:SWL and User:COIBot/Poke (the latter for privileged editors) COIBot will generate linkreports for the domains, and userreports for users and IPs.
