theglobe.me

Website being spammed by various IPs within the last hours to geographic related articles. Domain appears to be for sale, so it's likely an effort of SEO optimization and driving up page viewers to increase probability of sale.– NJD-DE (talk) 11:09, 5 June 2021 (UTC)

intercompanysolutions

After intercompanysolutions.com was blacklisted on meta in May, it appears they might be back with a different TLD. Going to check if COIBot knows more.– NJD-DE (talk) 19:48, 5 June 2021 (UTC)

It appears that the user was the only one who spammed that link. Also, the link is dead. No further follow-up needed. – NJD-DE (talk) 16:26, 6 June 2021 (UTC)

Porno in the Land's End to John o' Groats page

I clicked the flowing link http://www.beelinebritain.com/ and saw some naughty stuff. It's labelled as "Land's End to John o' Groats in a straight line – one of the last Great British adventures." And its the last url in this page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land%27s_End_to_John_o%27_Groats — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.141.124.215 (talk) 11:58, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for reporting this dead/usurped external link. Next time you come across such a case you are free to remove it, and explain your removal in the edit summary. – NJD-DE (talk) 12:31, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

customerthink.com - needs review

I was reviewing the past few years of editing at Net Promoter (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), where it had been spammed, and noticed it's used in about a dozen other articles. The other articles need review to see if they are part of a larger spamming problem. --Hipal (talk) 20:40, 13 June 2021 (UTC)

So far, I'm not seeing spamming, just an unreliable source used for promotional purposes. --Hipal (talk) 17:08, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

imaphsy.com

Users spamming links to the website as external link, or replacing URLs in references. After Imaphsy has been blocked two other accounts began spamming. – NJD-DE (talk) 19:03, 21 June 2021 (UTC)

Add 4 users from link report. It appears LeoPla99 is only mentioned in link report due to them creating es:Ziona based on a translation of the English article which at that time contained the spam link.– NJD-DE (talk) 19:36, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
and found another one. – NJD-DE (talk) 10:38, 22 June 2021 (UTC)

goodfirms.co

Refspam, mostly on Freedcamp, Project management software, and Central Desktop. Not sure whether it would be better to add this domain to the blacklist or to semiprotect those articles. Kleinpecan (talk) 04:16, 17 June 2021 (UTC)

I'm not sure what would be best either. I was thinking XLinkBot could work. Firefangledfeathers (talk) 04:32, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
Seen the nature of the rest of the list in Wikipedia:WikiProject_Spam/LinkReports/goodfirms.co#Users I have doubt that XLinkBot is sufficient. I notice numerous blocked editors, editors with paid-editing warnings, numerous cases where the page where it was added is now deleted. The only two editors in the list who carry advanced rights anywhere are one who re-mentioned the link in a G11/G12 deletion and one who used it on another wiki.
I'd like to see a bit of analysis of a couple of the named accounts, but for me this should be blacklisted, and maybe even globally. --Dirk Beetstra T C 05:43, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
Sounds great to me. Firefangledfeathers (talk) 05:56, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
Anything I can do to help move this forward? Spam from a variety of IPs keeps popping up on the same 3 above articles. Firefangledfeathers (talk) 18:32, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
Hello Firefangledfeathers, consider filing a report at the local spam blacklist talk. The link needs blacklisting, but the global additions I've looked at so far were generally as a result of page creations/reverts as opposed to blatant spam additions. It can be blacklisted globally if the situation gets worse. Best, Pahunkat (talk) 19:02, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
Thanks! Are you referring to MediaWiki talk:Spam-blacklist? Firefangledfeathers (talk) 19:06, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
Yes, that's the one. I can't see any immediate rangeblocks to stop the disruption, additionally the user's IPs appear to be very dynamic. Pahunkat (talk) 19:10, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

Please Block 87.177.238.17 and 93.193.170.30 concerning vandalism

Hi there, I want to report 2 users concerning vandalism.

these users have similar history of actions. So, I guess they are the same person.

To explain what this user is doing.. please check this document list.

this user is keep uploading "Mormon's plan of salvation diagram" in various language on unrelated documents. and if someone revert the change, he/she rolls back the edit without any acceptable explanation. He/she also keep doing these things in other wikipedia in different languages.

please understand my short of language skills since I'm not a English speaker. and hope you take some measure on these spams.
