Spam links in references
This article includes several spam references. References section should be carefully verified. 84.145.246.50 (talk) 08:16, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

Especially check the revisions from 698009890 (12:06, 3 January 2016‎) to now. Compare with http://yacy.net/en/Applications.html and http://yacy.net/en/, check for copyright violations. Looks like “Himanshu Sekhar Nayak” and “Mfmsajidh” (maybe others) are evil bots. Checking the IP address ranges of recent commits might be revealing. 84.145.246.50 (talk) 08:42, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

I deleted all such spam references with revisions and. I ensured everything was spam. I used archive.org to verify an unreachable spam page. Medende (talk) 20:55, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

Revert deletion of project status in lead section
I undid revision 723086076 by 143.159.115.13 as it deleted a major lead section explaining the current non-functional status of YaCy's ranking code, which I think is of paramount importance in relation to a search engine and hence should stay in the lead section.
