Spam links to Dan Schneider articles - continued

See Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Spam/2009_Archive_Jan_1#Spam_links_to_Dan_Schneider_articles_again for prior discussion. --Ronz (talk) 18:38, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

To avoid misunderstanding (i.e., someone thinking this is a current case of spamming), I have removed the lists of articles and users. Please see the link above for the complete discussion and links to articles. In short, this spam issue was dealt with by using XLinkBot to keep new and anonymous editors from spamming links to Schneider's articles. However, this approach also allows experienced editors to use these links if they want to. As for the particular articles and edits brought up in the discussion, no consensus on these edits being spam was reached, and the decision was made to do a checkuser on those editors. Until this is done, it was impossible to separate the good faith edits from those made in an attempt to spam Wikipedia.
However, as I mentioned in the original discussion, if it makes people happy let us go ahead and remove all the "spam" edits people are complaining about. But with the Bot now in place, doing that also means if a new editor reinserts these links or other references to Schneider's articles, then the assumption has to be these are good faith edits and not spam. Do people agree with this approach?--SouthernNights (talk) 21:58, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
I've restored the list below in order to help the creation of the sockpuppet report and checkuser request. --Ronz (talk) 22:42, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
Apologies for misunderstanding what was going on. I totally support this request and am also fine with removing the links (having little desire to waste more time with this). All I oppose is any attempt to label any link or reference to Schneider as spam, since a number of editors like myself have made good faith edits using references and such to his reviews and essays.--SouthernNights (talk) 23:02, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

The two mentioned 69.-IPs are in the range of Bell Canada (69.156.0.0/14), the other two (68. and 12.) are in America (the latter in a hotel?). All links are also used by editors who seem to have a wide variety of links (though the mentioned accounts are high in the top 10 of users ..). LinkReports are on the way, which may show some more. --Dirk Beetstra T C 19:04, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

These are the accounts listed above that have not already been blocked, plus a few that appeared problematic that were found in the process of investigating those accounts.

I've stopped summarizing these editors' edit histories at #53. In no way is this a complete list of editors that have spammed these links, but should be enough to justify a checkuser. --Ronz (talk) 16:40, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Conclusions

The problems with the spamming of links to Schneider reviews is larger than originally thought. The links have been added not only to articles about movies and directors, but to articles about books and authors as well. The links are not just to a few movie review sites, but to a wide range of sites that offer reviews and analyses.

The problematic editing that's occurred since the Aug'08 ANI and Sep'08 AN has been done almost entirely by new accounts that make a few edits to a few articles - the same behavior common to the editors blocked in Sep'08. --Ronz (talk) 21:22, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Next steps

I've asked for some help getting a sockpuppet/checkuser report going here.

I'm started looking through the domains above, and will be proposing that more be added to XLinkBot. --Ronz (talk) 22:48, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

haroldstreet.org.uk

Some people deserve a special notation here. Creativity to circumvent LinkWatcher-detection (I checked the working of the blacklists, they do detect this type of fun). There was already a rule for this on XLinkBot, but this creative way of adding a link resulted in the bot not reverting.

See: diff

I adapted the bots, they detect this now. I indeffed Phil Newby. --Dirk Beetstra T C 17:55, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

This URL has been added by this user since his first post in July 2008. This user also appears to have a conflict of interest in promoting the site, as the site shows under "About us" that one of the primary editors of the site is also named "Oldcommguy". --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 21:36, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Not sure what to do with this one. On the one hand, the site seems to provide some good resources; but then, this is a single purpose account whose only postings for the last year-and-a-half on Wikipedia have been to add this link. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 22:15, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

traffic ticket spam

Accounts

Persistent addition of spam/promotional links to the Traffic ticket article. IP accounts and aged user accounts.Kuru talk 21:02, 31 January 2009 (UTC)


I think there are two different clusters here and some more domains worth blacklisting:
Cluster 1
Accounts:
  • This IP appears to have been just reverting all of Ronz' edits, one of which just happened to be his deletion of an imintrouble.com link.[4]
Spammed domains:
Related domains:


Cluster 2
Accounts:
Spammed domains:
  • blacklisted earlier today.
Related domains:


It appears accounts from each group were deleting the other group's links so I think they may be competitors. On the other hand, 190.10.24.110 did add one link to mytrafficticketdefence.com but perhaps he was Joe jobing the competition. In any event, competitors or not, each cluster has done more than enough spamming and ignored more than enough warnings to justify blacklisting. --A. B. (talk • contribs) 23:02, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
