About Me
I am new to wiki, (at least to editing) so please help me as I stumble. I'm flexible, open to new ideas, and enjoy learning about things that I'm unfamiliar. I have many interests, and especially enjoy photography. I admire those who are good at it. I am not one of those, but hope to be one day.
 * welcome--I haven't moved the material to the page yet,--it's mostly up on my talk page. And if you want to see what photographers can do around here, take a look at David Shankbone.  DGG (talk) 03:14, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

spam blacklist table
I've been thinking about the spam blacklist, and how it works. I may start to fill in this table as time permits. Here is what I have in mind...

Here is a review of proposed removals for this month, with data collected from the [Feb Archives] & [Active List]

some thoughts

 * 1) should there be a separate "spam" blacklist and a "not notable" list? Seems like many of the above are "not notable" but risk damage of the "spam" label
 * 2) defer to whitelist is too easy... is there a way to automate an intermediate solution? for example, de-list a site, but watch it???  so that it will show up in a special section of "watched sites" so an admin can monitor?
 * 3) this may put too much of a burden on admins?
 * 4) does the current system put an unfair burden to be delisted?
 * 5) is there a way to see how many times attempts are made to add current blacklisted sites? that might give a good idea of the 'big' spam.  could there be a counter next to each domain - as to how many times since blacklist an attempt has been made to add it??
 * 6) i may consider placing some of the sites in my table... after I review them carefully myself... as a request to be removed from the blaclist. I think that some of these should not be on the spam list.
 * 7) i wish that the admins would offer me more feedback here.... so far, no admin comments to my questions.  why?
 * 8) How many admins are active in this project? Hu12 seems to be the most active... I wonder what his/her thoughts are on all of this?
