    Are you sure these are not useful? In the Lipoma article http://www.veomed.com/va082817402009 seems quite on-topic. Tim Vickers (talk) 00:22, 18 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    I have no objection if an established editor wants to re-establish some of the better targetted links. The initial editors seem to have a COI, and their accounts were used solely to spam these links - often to multiple places in the same article at a time. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 00:26, 18 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    OK, thank you. Tim Vickers (talk) 03:49, 18 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Note: I listed another IP whose only edits thus far have been to add the link. However, as the new additions are from a more NPOV in the wording of the link, and are being added only once and to the appropriate EL section, they appear to be less of a concern. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 17:45, 19 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    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)[reply]
