Endless spam on Adobe Lightroom. Unfortunately there are more URLs than this involved, but this seems to be a principal offender. They insert links (example) to their dodgy-looking download site ... I assume it is illegal but, worse than that, it is irrelevant and annoying. Thanks DBaK (talk) 11:11, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

I was updating a list of energy companies by market capitalization (newcomer thing told me to) and was using the Tradingview stock screener to list them. Not sure why this is blacklisted and I cant find it on either of the lists it told me to check.

Might not be within the blacklisting rules – but I'm putting it here because of the slow-motion nature of the spamming. This blog, which is entirely in Persian, reviews films and has no encyclopaedic value. First added in September of last year, the user has returned to add it again today. Inserted each time as a fake reference to make spotting it harder, one assumes. 81.187.192.168 (talk) 11:57, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
 * ❌. The account is globally locked and cannot make any more edits on any Wikimedia project. The Spamcheck report indicates that Bamdadnorouzian is the only user who has repeatedly spammed the link, which means that the global lock is currently sufficient to prevent further disruption.

ice-clipboard.com
Hello professionals, I have now split my previously bilingual (de/en-US) website: ICE - Ideal Clipboard Expander de/en-US into two separate domains: ICE - Ideal Clipboard Expander de (language de - German) and same address with ".com" instead of ".de" (language en-US - English). Now I wanted to change the corresponding entry in: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clipboard_manager (Group "List of clipboard software", entry "ICE - Ideal Clipboard Expander") so that it now points correctly to the English-language website, since in the german site is no more the english version available. But when I try to do that I get the message: "Your edit was not saved because it contains a new external link to a site registered on Wikipedia's blacklist or Wikimedia's global blacklist. ". Wikipedia says "The following link has triggered a protection filter:" "c.l.i.p.b.o.a.r.d.com" (without dots) is on a blacklist - but my site is called "ice-clipboard.com". And that is clearly not the same website. What can I do about this? Can one of you perhaps help me. Many thanks in advance --91.48.144.92 (talk) 14:44, 23 June 2024 (UTC)


 * . The text "clipboard" isn't blacklisted here, it's on the global blacklist. ~Anachronist (talk) 20:50, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Hello @Anachronist, thank you for your answer. ;-)
 * But what can I do about it? My website is not called the same as the blacklisted site and has nothing to do with it. Can I do something about it? After all, Google indexes my site without any problems.
 * It can't be that "ICE-XXX.com" is blacklisted just because "XXX.com" is on the blacklist. There seems to be a big problem in the programming or the evaluation of the blacklist. --91.48.144.92 (talk) 22:13, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
 * P.S. I thought that collective punishment had been abolished since the end of WW2.
 * Mr. Blacksmith is not going to prison just because a Mr. Smith is wanted.
 * In short, I don't understand the function of the global blacklist. :-( --91.48.144.92 (talk) 22:20, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi there, the selection criterion of section is that that list entries must be "notable". The invisible comment the section, which can be seen when you edit the page, says: "Entries in this list should be notable (WP:GNG) and have a sourced Wikipedia article." As your software application "ICE - Ideal Clipboard Expander" does not appear to be notable per the general notability guideline and there is not already a standalone Wikipedia article about ICE, I am unable to adjust the blacklist/whitelist to accommodate ICE. Please also take a moment to review the conflict of interest guideline when you get a chance. Thanks. —  Newslinger   talk   02:29, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Hello @Newslinger, thanks for your information. I apologize, but for me as an (older) German, it is not that easy to find and understand all the rules and options on Wikipedia.com, since the English lessons at school were a long time ago. ;-)
 * My program ICE was very popular with german users in the Win98 version V1 until 2000. The new V2 for Win 10 and later (64-bit only) with bilingual GUI, which was released this year, now contains everything that I wanted to implement in the program at the time, but which was not yet possible due to the very limited PC performance.
 * If I understand you correctly, I am not allowed to create a wiki page for my program myself or link my program to Wikipedia in any other way.
 * As a small thank you for your information, I would like to give you a free major license for ICE. I am sure that you will love ICE, since ICE makes daily work on the PC much easier. You can simply contact me via the email address provided on my website. --91.48.147.98 (talk) 13:26, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Because you have a conflict of interest, the only venue available for you to publish an article about your program is to write it in draft space and submit it for review. See Articles for creation for instructions. If the draft is accepted, then we could consider a whitelist request to permit a single page to be linked that would otherwise be blacklisted. The URL to be whitelisted needs to include a path to a specific page on the website, not be a link to the overall website.
 * Your other alternative is to get the global blacklist corrected. Most administrators here on Wikipedia do not have the ability to edit the global blacklist, so it's pointless to make a request here. That is why, in my initial response, I said . The global blacklist clearly has a rule that resulted in collateral damage. You can make a request there to correct it. ~Anachronist (talk) 17:23, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Hello @Anachronist, thank you very much for the information. I will follow up on this and then try to create and submit a corresponding page in the draft area. Unfortunately, Google Translator is not always accurate in its translation, so I did not understand your note about the "global blacklist". Google translated "Move the blacklist". When I clicked on your link to the "blacklist", however, I was taken to a "white list" - that confused me.
 * I would also like to give you a free major license for my program for your help. My program is certainly a great help, especially for work like that on Wikipedia, because it allows you to insert any existing text blocks into applications with a mouse click. Just send me an email if you would like to get a license. --80.130.86.165 (talk) 13:42, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Currently pending at WP:SPI, but may be of interest here. Link to this advertising-heavy blog was mass-added (and mass-reverted) at the start of the month. A new account appeared today and immediately added the same link (with the same edit summary and same spelling errors) to the most recently reverted article. 92.6.27.15 (talk) 21:03, 27 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Note that various pages of this blog are linked in 64 different articles, mostly but not all Swiss-watch related, mostly a references. It is unlikely that it qualifies as a reliable source. 92.6.27.15 (talk) 21:06, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
 * hi, sorry but I'm not sure then what's wrong in our references for a pure knowledgeable articles? these are all done by me, one person related with blog-founder. If you look at popular Swiss watchmaking topics, various blogs are linked in the references many times, so please explain to me like I'm 5 - what's wrong in my link in reference section with fully knowledgeable article, totally unbiased etc, comparing to other watch blogs linking there?

 * Simple expanation: creating multiple accounts to spam your link to Wikipedia was a bad idea. OhNo itsJamie Talk 21:30, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Ok, I hear you, but when I was doing this from one account, linking the same knowledgeable articles that were adding a lot of value to the topic, I got reverted as well. Althought as I said - other watchmaking blogs are featured multiple times in references under popular topics, sometimes even with a clickbait video link, not an in-depth article full of uniqe information as I did. So could you please advise me, how to do it properly, not to be black-listed etc.? Vanillaretouching01 (talk) 21:36, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
