Spamming link to articles. The actual event crosses through multiple cities, the ferndale link is that one city's event advert for it. This link appears to be managed by the downtown development authority (which is already linked to from the Ferndale, MI article, and this link can be reached once on that site). The official site for Woodward Dream Cruise, Inc., which covers the full event through all cities involved and from which this one licenses images, is correctly linked from the Woodward Dream Cruise article. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 19:46, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

a user (User:Vizmeta) has been including the following link into many articles: http://www.mattrauch.com/2008-nfl-combine-results.php While it seems like it's a good addition, it seems to be just some guy's personal website, and that information can easily be found on sites such as the NFL website, and alot of that info is already in the article already..

Help required at Guy Harvey
I'm getting dangerously close to the 3RR rule on the Guy Harvey article, if I have not indeed already overstepped it. When I came across this article there were 5 links to sites (although not to 5 different sites). Note that this is supposed to be a biography. I have welcomed User:74.195.92.17 but this IP address keeps returning with more. I am looking for guidance in how best to address this. -- Александр Дмитрий (Alexandr Dmitri) (talk) 16:56, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

msplinks
I just cleaned up a bunch of msplinks.com redirects--they are not always spam per se, but they seem to often occur in spammy pages. They show up in wikipedia because someone has pasted a link from a Myspace profile page. Maybe some folks here would like to watch for them regularly, if you're not already doing that. Here is a simple python script for decoding them:

while True: a = raw_input('* ') print a.split('/')[-1].decode('base64')

Just run the script and paste each msplinks url after the '*' prompt and it will show the decoded link. If these links really start proliferating, maybe someone can extend Navpops (or some equivalent) to decode them more conveniently. 67.122.211.205 (talk) 06:19, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

 * At least one of the users adding the link are now in violation of 3RR, after being warned - so I've submitted a report to WP:AN3. I would suggest submitting the article for temporary semi-protection at WP:RFPP if the spamming continues.  Normally, I would also suggest XLinkBot ... but given the edit warring, I think that taking it to WP:SBL may be appropriate should the spamming continue. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 18:43, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
 * If 3RR is an issue, I would like to fall on my own sword. However, my understanding of 3RR is that reverting ill-faith edits, and trying to engage the users, are not subject to the rule. Haakon (talk) 19:29, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I looked closer at the edit histories, and found that the edit warring has been going on for over a year. Given that it has recently escallated to full 3RR violations, I went ahead and submitted a blacklisting request at MediaWiki talk:Spam-blacklist.  --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 19:38, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Requesting that others take a look at this link and provide opinions on it. It appears to be getting added to primarily European city articles, to provide a link to a city map. The site came to my attention due to spamming to the Google maps article - but the IP involved there does not seem to have history on the other articles where the link is used. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 14:52, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
