Request for comments at discussion on Reliable Sources Noticeboard
Dear Wikiproject Spam participants: I have been working to clean up what I consider a spam campaign (advocacy, external link spamming). It is being discussed at WP:RSN. It occurred to me it might be something the Spam project folks might be more experienced in evaluating. The direct link to the discussion starts at WP:RSN and my description of the structure and scope of the spam campaign is in my lengthy post under section WP:RSN. If anyone is interesting in checking it out, please do so. Normal Op (talk) 12:25, 8 August 2020 (UTC)

Why is my user listed on WikiProject Spam/LinkReports/happymag.tv
I came across that page and I don't know why this happened, maybe it has something to do with some references I've added to The Muffs? Anyway, how is the whitelisting process? Thank you for reading. Cheers.u v u l u m (talk) 11:19, 30 June 2020 (UTC)


 * It's a listing generated by a bot. I'm an admin and I appear in some of these. MER-C 19:24, 1 July 2020 (UTC)

thefinancefriday.com
The Finance Friday (thefinancefriday.com) has been added to multiple articles by BekoGloben. 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. I have reverted only one of the edits but have not reverted the rest. I consider this likely to be spamming but would like uninvolved editors to review this. Thank you, Cunard (talk) 07:27, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

I have reverted the rest. I hope this is not all related:


 * links


 * users


 * see also

lets see what this all brings up. --Dirk Beetstra T C 08:27, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

User:FSA Helper
Article on "FSA Eligible List" contains a link to a store purporting to be a "Comprehensive List of FSA Approved products and services."

In this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FSA_Eligibility_List

The "external link" to FSAStore.com is just a link to a store to buy FSA Eligible items, and is not a catalogue of eligible items like the article purports.
