daffodilsw.com - multiple accounts being created to add link

Link being added by multiple newly-created users. Needs stopping urgently as more users are being created. --Biker Biker (talk) 11:01, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

I have now reported this as a sockpuppet case with sachgrg as the sockmaster. I have also removed all the external links but would still appreciate this domain being blacklisted. --Biker Biker (talk) 11:27, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

seo-training-blog.blogspot.com

This spam link has been added to a range of SEO related articles (as well as other articles) by a number of different IPs. Because warnings are ignored and the spammer is IP hopping it would be good if the URL could be blacklisted.

Blog being spammed into multiple articles. Most additions are to the from page (not even a specific post). The one that was to a specific post contains text that had been copied from an online-newspaper that had posted the same story a day earlier. Appears to allow anyone to submit text, and lacks both attribution of sources as well as lacking editorial oversight. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 23:08, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Pay per download sites?

Am I right in assuming that pay-per-download sites like http://sharecash.org, http://uploading.com, and http://ziddu.com are unwanted both as references and in the weblinks sections? --Pjacobi (talk) 13:02, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Are they spam, or is the documentation from WP:RS? It's certainly better than not having a link, but if the information is available from a reliable source, what's the problem? (See also FUTON Bias) tedder (talk) 04:56, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
So far as I understand it, people just upload something found elsewhere to these sites to get the download money. The problems are in my opinion:
  • We should give the original document as reference, which may either be linkable from elsewhere or in case of scans, just the normal book information (author, title, ISBN). In the latter case the upload is a copyright infringement anyway.
  • At least some of these sites operate by requiring registration and selling the user information gathered this way. Well, many legitimate sites require registration, but at least one can expect to not give the registration data to spammers.
  • Once the userbase of these sites notices that putting such links into Wikipedia works, it will create a huge incentive to add them big style.

Deletion sorting for spam articles...

Have a look at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Deletion_sorting/Websites, is there consensus to have one like this, where listings related to WP:ARTSPAM and promotional campaigns could be sorted, IE Wikipedia:WikiProject_Deletion_sorting/Spam, or somthing a bit more innocuous.--Hu12 (talk) 19:30, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

Thoughts? this could potentialy raise much awareness on cases to this ongoing problem of unsourced an purely promotional additions which fall outside the WP:CSD#G11 criteria.--Hu12 (talk) 19:37, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
Spam is a subjective quality description of an article. As such, I don't think delsort would apply. For instance, we don't have delsort categories for nonnotable articles, listcruft, or articles just made up some day; although they are all listed at AfD. ThemFromSpace 20:01, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
