Indef blocked as Misbah6666 and Adamfosterq, the rest have been apparent block evasion. -MrOllie (talk)13:05, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Added gooogle.* toMediaWiki:Spam-blacklist. This is a browser hijacker. It isn't just gooogle.ca but also gooogle.page and possibly others. Seediscussion here. While gooogle.com actually does redirect to google.com, there should be no collateral damage because we shouldn't be using redirect URLs anyway. --~Anachronist(talk)20:33, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]themoviedb.org: Linksearchen(insource) -meta -de -fr -simple -wikt:en -wikt:fr •Spamcheck •blacklist hits •MER-C X-wiki •gs • Reports:Links on en -COIBot -COIBot-Local • Discussions:tracked -advanced -RSN • COIBot-Link,Local, &XWiki Reports - Wikipedia:en -fr -de • Google:search •meta • Domain:domaintools •AboutUs.com I'd propose a de-blacklisting of TMDb to allow it to be used the same way as an external Link as IMDb. TMDb a legitimate database website with as much credibility and usefulness as IMDb and should be treated as such accordingly.UnkreativeFrog (talk)17:31, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Several IPs from the same general range of addresses in Bangladesh keep adding a link to a website ostensibly run by a law firm seeking clients related to vehicle accidents on I-20. Once the link was added to the external links section, but typically it is inserted as a reference even though it is clearly not an RS nor does it reference the content of the article.Special:Diff/1142971753 (March 5, 2023),Special:Diff/1140262032 (February 19, 2023),Special:Diff/1140260731 (February 19, 2023),Special:Diff/1140260198 (February 19, 2013),Special:Diff/1140024496 (February 17, 2023),Special:Diff/1139854135 (February 17, 2023)Imzadi 1979 →19:53, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

At one point in time, these bunch of IPs were involved in adding the same webeski.com website to various articles.

Sock/meatpuppetry involving a few users and IPs. I believe the 66.* IP is posting different spam links. See alsoWikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Andrei Fimine.LilianaUwU(talk /contributions)02:48, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Spammming has continued with this alternate URL for the udyam-registeration.org domain that was blacklisted last month. -MrOllie (talk)14:04, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Currently atSPI to look for sleepers, but might be worth heading future sockfarms for this URL by blacklisting. No possible encyclopaedic use from this site; the 'services' it claims to offer don't even work. A regex for calltracer.* might be in order (sorry, my regex is terrible, I'm not going to even try). —Trey Maturin™17:24, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Declined. There's so many problems here. First, the sites were blatantly spammed by multiple accounts and multiple IPs; at that point, the only reliable way of controlling the problem is to block the domains. Second, we can see your failed attempts to re-add the spam toDay trading, so the problem would clearly recur. Third, neither of these would be a reliable source in any way - there is zero value in whitelisting or removing these from the blacklist. Fourth, we do not act on COI requests - this request comes from the same obscure range as the spammer. Fifth, these areblacklisted globally across all versions of Wikipedia, not here - you'd need to request removal there. You'll get the same response, I fear. If you're concerned about your reputation, perhaps you could consider more ethical approaches to promoting your sites?SamKuru(talk)11:48, 23 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]Site has been spammed for over a month from a broad range of IP's and articles.

Has a block on Amna129, so this is block evasion. Switched to throwaway accounts and IPs after the block. -MrOllie (talk)18:29, 25 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Done, blocked the accounts as well. All edited in the same way and spammed the same link. Left the IPs alone - let me know if you seem them fire up again.SamKuru(talk)01:07, 26 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]dreammedicine.in: Linksearchen(insource) -meta -de -fr -simple -wikt:en -wikt:fr •Spamcheck •blacklist hits •MER-C X-wiki •gs • Reports:Links on en -COIBot -COIBot-Local • Discussions:tracked -advanced -RSN • COIBot-Link,Local, &XWiki Reports - Wikipedia:en -fr -de • Google:search •meta • Domain:domaintools •AboutUs.com Spammed byDreammedicine1 and sockpuppets.
