Several users, registered around the same time, plus IP, apparently socks or different people affiliated with the same SEO business. Reporting here because it looks like a coordinated effort, and there may be other links added by other socks I didn't catch.

Inzen Career Services links
There have been a number of links to a Belguim-based employment and recruiting concern added by a a Belguim-based IP and now a newly-registered user, with a name derived from that of the concern: It may be appropriate to blacklist this website. Kablammo (talk) 23:30, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
 * the edit history show addition of linkspam to a number of articles; links are these:
 * http://www.inzencareerservices.be/cruiseship-positions-list.html
 * has taken an indirect approach: creating Cruise Ship Jobs as a new article, with links from others; the new page (proposed for deletion, but contested) contains this link:

I'm not sure if this user is spamming or not, but it appears they are only adding links to the Daily Telegraph, so my question is, is it spam? Mugs Bunny (talk) 21:46, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

www.voobly.com keeps spamming with different new accounts it makes
www.voobly.com keeps spamming itself at the Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings page, and elsewhere. New accounts keep adding it in, every time I or someone else eliminates it. Tedhoffman, Tnt pde, 71.30.3.38 are spam accounts, doing nothing more than adding it the ad for that site.  D r e a m Focus  01:15, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
 * They previously were known as www.igzones.com and spammed all over the place. Searching for that, I see articles with that link in them, that shouldn't be.  In the article Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds I just erased their spam, they having a reference to a Microsoft announcement that suggested using two other systems for online games, neither of which was them though.

 * I added LinkSummary for the URLs for easier reference to the existing usage of the links. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 02:28, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks. They even created a few other sites claiming to host maps, which had almost nothing at all on them, other than links to their commercial site.  Microsoft used to call its site Internet Gaming Zone, so igzone might confuse some people, I thinking that done deliberately to confuse.  The same company registered the domain name http://www.microsoftants.com/ to confuse people, that site having nothing to do with Microsoft, it just linking to their other site once again. I'll try to alert Microsoft of this so they can shut that one down.   D r e a m Focus  10:28, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
 * There's also a voobly.net which seems to be an affiliate site of voobly.com. the .net one has a different owner listed, but says powered by the .com site. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 14:58, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

User spamming Smallville pages
User has been adding external links to many smallville articles by his own admission, many to the site http://ejumpcut.org. The user has then edit warred with an IP to keep those pages in, and reported that IP for vandalism for removing those links. Bignole has now asked for some of those pages to be protected. Martin 4 5 1  (talk) 23:18, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
 * First, I have not been "spamming". Those links have been there for more than a year. Second, the link itself is not spam. It's a peer journal that I attained from my university search engine. The journal itself is an analysis of the show homosexual subtexts present in the show Smallville through five seasons. The journal was written by an assistant professor who specializes in sexuality on television (that's what his degree is in, and he's written other journals and books on the subject). The link is a legitimate one to include on those specific pages, because it directly pertains to those specific pages. I'm not including some link to the basic website in the hopes of promoting anything (which would be spam). I included a link to an online media journal (which appears in Google Scholar and only university peer review journal searches) that has relevance.

Football fansites


Too many individual links to list, but a domain whois shows that they are all owned by the same person. The editors can probably be blocked for sockpuppetry/spamming. Perhaps it would be a good idea to add the links to XLinkBot's revert list, as they are fansites and not likely to be used to good effect.  Them From  Space  18:51, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Possible spam sites?
I came across a user (SimonThird) whose only contributions consisted of adding text referenced to two specific sites, "banking-business-review.com" and "cbronline.com". A check into these sites shows that they are almost identical in design, they are published by the same company, and they share the same IP address. one site (cbronline) is used in hundreds of articles, but I wonder if the sites are really suitable to be considered "reliable sources" or if they are in fact more domain-spammer sites. Thoughts? --Ckatz chat spy  04:51, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Here's some more... these two are at a different IP from the above, but are also from "Progressive Media" and look very similar to the above.

The IP Contributions/220.225.231.116 is also monitoring and adjusting these links. According to Progressive Media, the following URLs are also part of their site:

The Progressive Media "About Us" blurb, "The Business Review websites are your number one stop for all the latest news, comment and industry information. Each Business Review website offers content that is produced by a dedicated team of journalists and global industry experts." I'm not convinced that these sites should be used as references, especially given the emerging pattern of spam. Should we blacklist the lot? --Ckatz chat spy  09:28, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Links to the domain have no encyclopedic value except on the Vkontakte article. Dancter (talk) 17:35, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
 * The link was added by another IP today:

 * Now that vk.com has been blacklisted, they've started using the main vkontakte.ru domain. Dancter (talk) 20:20, 13 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Based on the different referral codes being used, the IPs are all different people. Apparently, after Vkontakte's recent acquisition of vk.com, the social network has a promotion encouraging users to refer new members for the opportunity to get an iPod. Not all links to the main vkontakte.ru site are referral links, but nearly all content on the site is restricted to logged-in members. Dancter (talk) 21:04, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

User DVdm's classification of "some poor quality physics equation list" is evidence of his apparent bias, which is against the mission of Wikipedia.

 * I understand the concept of trying to promote a website, but how is that different from any other external link on Wikipedia? Every external link is promoting a website, so if we wanted to be consistent, there should be no external links on Wikipedia, but that would be a disservice to the users. I think if there is a wiki page called "list of elementary physics formulas" and then there is a website that provides a list of elementary physics formulas with added features such as a method to search those formulas, how is this not relevant and constructive? I would agree with the above assessment if the website charged for its services or contained excessive advertisement, but it clearly does not. --Calccrazy1dx 22 October 2009

SPA spamming link onto multiple articles. The site does have value with many of its pages as a potential ref in many articles, so should not be black-listed.

sathint.com
I came across User:Confusioner today due to an edit he made to EchoStar, which was on my watchlist. He was inserting links for the domain above, for each of the satellites launched or currently in use by EchoStar or Dish Network. I have no information regarding the reliability of the site in question, and I have not (yet) reverted the dozen or so articles he added the link to a few weeks ago. The chief issue that normally arises is that editors point to other "competing" external links (in this case, like lyngsat.com), and (reasonably?) argue something along the lines of other stuff exists. Should I go ahead and remove all of the sathint.com links? Which begs the question of what to do about lyngsat.com (which is a website I have actually used on my own countless times, full disclosure). user: J  aka justen (talk) 22:42, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, I recommend reverting all those link additions as blatant promotional spam. It's pretty clear in Intelsat that a link to TV/radio channels is totally non-encyclopedic (I reverted that). The 280 links to LyngSat also look dubious (particularly as links dumped in the article body, with no encyclopedic value that I noticed), but we deal with one problem at a time. Johnuniq (talk) 01:09, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Done re: sathint, and done re: lyngsat where both existed in the same article. I will finish up with lyngsat in the near future unless somebody beats me to it in the meantime. user: J  aka justen (talk) 06:12, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Repeated spamming of link to download a game. The edit summary of the user sums it up: "I developed a free game that fallows the basic guide lines of what is listed on this site. People may download the program and use it with there friends."

The link is clearly intended to advertise his work, and the site fails WP:ELNO as well as WP:NOT. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 15:40, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

Given that this relates to past problems (Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Spam/2009_Archive_Jan_1), I thought it would be best to document what I find. So far, it just looks like old spamming that wasn't cleaned up. --Ronz (talk) 19:01, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
