autospruce.com[edit]

Originally spammed by Goesw. After being warned, the other two accounts were created to add a link to one article each. It's likely that there are more instances that I haven't come across yet. The website does not appear to be a reliable source nor particularly noteworthy as a publication. Scott Matthew is evidently a writer for the site. --Sable232 (talk) 19:09, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Lavish Film verified artist[edit]

I need an email to contact someone who can assist me with removing a verified artist’s name from the blacklist upon creating their account. This is quite the hinderance and I would love to know more about this. LavishFilmedit (talk) 05:46, 7 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@LavishFilmedit: if you give us the domain name (without https://) or what link you want to post we can tell you more. We keep this communication strictly here on-wiki for transparency reasons. --Dirk Beetstra T C 05:57, 7 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

en.help.roblox.com[edit]

May you unblock en.help.roblox.com, as it is a helpful resource from the official developers behind Roblox. Not sure why it was banned in the first place! MatthewAlfaro2011 (talk) 12:46, 8 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@MatthewAlfaro2011: The roblox.com domain was blacklisted in November 2017 due to repeated violations of WP:NOTWEBHOST by users intent on spamming various Roblox links to every possible place, likely in a misguided attempt at search engine optimization.
 Defer to Whitelist for whitelisting requests of single pages. The domain roblox.com will not be removed from the blacklist. ~Anachronist (talk) 02:15, 11 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

medicinepricebd.com[edit]

I have added some information and given references, but I come to know that the source is blacklisted. The web is : Medicine Price bd But I think it should be unlisted from the blacklist. I don't know why it is listed. I have found useful information about medicine and medical in Bangla and the English language.

We have many unfinished articles in the Bangla language which can be filled taking information from this website, That's why I told you.

Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ruhul Amin2354 (talk • contribs) 08:09, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

ancasterfoodequipment.com and archwayinsurance.ca[edit]

I had proposed these for the blacklist a couple months ago, but it went into the archives after some confusion about a domain from a higher profile company that some of the socks had also added. I've cut down the domain list here to the two most frequently spammed domains. I'm bringing this back up because I noticed new ancasterfoodequipment.com sockpuppet accounts this morning: Michael M Watson and Mark J. Myers. - MrOllie (talk) 11:09, 23 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

historypak.com[edit]

Can't understand why it is blocked or where. Can you unblock it? I need it for article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islami_Jamhoori_Ittehad

  •  Not done While original blacklisting was related to malware hosting, site does not meet WP:RS guidelines, so there isn't a compelling reason to unblock. Better sourcing should be available elsewhere. OhNoitsJamie Talk 16:04, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for responding. Issue was 6 years ago. Website is displayed by google, so pretty sure all those issues were properly addressed.
I think any website which is indexed by google and ranked nice, should be removed from blocklist. What is process for website removal?

This is a personal venture of a rather promotional editor (Iamkange), I'm currently waiting for the COIBot report to finish but there are several uses here and elsewhere that shouldn't be. It appears to have been mass spammed by only a handful of SPAs and the owner/managing director but has no encyclopedic value and is just being used to spam. PRAXIDICAE🌈 12:04, 24 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Most of the additions on the COI report seem to be good faith additions; 237 is the country code of Cameroon, and there could be a dearth of good sources for Cameroon-specific topics. That said, I'd tend to agree that the website doesn't appear to meet our WP:RS guidelines; my only concern is whether or not it's been spammed in bad faith or not.

Bog standard spamming of a gambling site by obvious coi accounts (the username matches the "author" parameter in the spam citations, the numbers match the name of the company). I can think of no legitimate project use of this site, hence the request for blacklisting. These three edits [2] [3] [4] Have some "interesting" utm parameters, which proves this is an organised attempt to spam wikipedia, not just a good faith mistake. The account concerned has been warned repeatedly about spam link additions since may, but this has had no effect on their editing. 192.76.8.85 (talk) 19:15, 28 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
