I was using this site to research the [[Vivo V2]], but it said it was blacklisted. I don't understand how it is spam. [[User:EDG 543|EDG 543]] ([[User talk:EDG 543|talk]]) 17:59, 18 May 2018 (UTC) |

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 – 841945961 after you have closed the request. See here for more info on logging.

- →Snippet for logging of WikiProject Spam items: {{WPSPAM|841945961#section_name}}

Was spammed into three articles by a corporate-named account. Nothing encyclopedic there. Jytdog (talk) 00:59, 10 May 2018 (UTC)

- @Jytdog: Added to MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist - per my previous comment. --Dirk Beetstra T C 17:05, 10 May 2018 (UTC)

This link has been spammed into the Lindt & Sprüngli article as an official shop since January 5 from multiple ip's. Araratic | talk 09:28, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

Site being slowly spammed by IPv6 editor. This isn't a reliable source, so easier just to close the door on the spam. Ravensfire (talk) 20:17, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

No evidence of harm. Appears to be regularly updated with statistics. --LukeSurl t c 17:59, 8 May 2018 (UTC)
- I oppose removing Cuetracker from the blacklist. There is plenty of evidence of "harm" in that many of its statistics are incorrect contradicting that of the BBC and World Snooker, and it has proliferated as a source on biographical articles about living people. While many of the stats are indeed correct many of them are demonstrably not. It appears to be a fansite with no demonstrable editorial oversight. Editors shouldn't be using statsitics from this website without corroborating them first, and if you can corroborate them then there is no need to use this site as a source. Betty Logan (talk) 18:23, 8 May 2018 (UTC)
- Agree with Betty Logan. Cuetracker has come up a few times at other boards where editors have pointed out its unreliabililty, appears to be maintained by one person. Black Kite (talk) 18:27, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

The forum was first established by bitcoin's creator and his posts are still hosted on the current website. As noted in bitcointalk's Wikipedia article, "Initial coin offerings are usually announced at the forum". That statement also would hold true for all cryptocurrencies, including updates for them. Many historical announcements have taken place in bitcointalk. And I believe it would also be useful to reference in many other situations. Bitcointalk holds as an outpost from which anyone can freely discuss cryptocurrencies, and this has produced valuable insight in certain cases. For example, there have been community-led investigations that were reported through the forum and brought out evidence on cases against certain coins.
- Declined, Defer to Whitelist for specific links on this domain. It was spammed, abused. It is a forum, and we are not writing a newspaper. --Dirk Beetstra T C 09:49, 11 May 2018 (UTC)

Trying to adding the link to the site for BonziBuddy article for missing citations. It appears to doesn’t have any spams.—Ijoe2003 (talk) 08:08, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

Troubleshooting and problems
Logging / COIBot Instructions
Blacklist logging
Full instructions for admins
Quick reference
For Spam reports or requests originating from this page, use template {{/request|0#section_name}}
{{/request|213416274#Section_name}}
- Insert the oldid 213416274 a hash "#" and the Section_name (Underscoring_spaces_where_applicable):
- Use within the entry log here.
For Spam reports or requests originating from Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Spam use template {{WPSPAM|0#section_name}}
{{WPSPAM|182725895#Section_name}}
- Insert the oldid 182725895 a hash "#" and the Section_name (Underscoring_spaces_where_applicable):
- Use within the entry log here.
- Note: If you do not log your entries, it may be removed if someone appeals the entry and no valid reasons can be found.
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.
