An anonymous editor has decided that articles on Dandruff, Seborrhoeic dermatitis, Rosacea, and Psoriasis are desperately in need of removing links to good encyclopedic sites (like the National Institutes of Health information pages) and the substitution of his/her Yahoo! Groups chat board (a health.groups.yahoo.com link). I've left a note on the anon's talk page and policy information and links on the article talk pages, but it has done no good. The damage has all been reverted repeatedly, but if a few more editors wanted to watchlist these pages, I'd appreciate the help. WhatamIdoing (talk) 18:08, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

:I may cause an overload on the bot here, but:

:* {{Spamlink|health.groups.yahoo.com}}

:Let's monitor health groups on yahoo for some time. Those 'groups' sites are hardly allowed by our external links guideline or reliable sources guideline and hence should not be added anyway. This should also show the records for 88.247.86.233 when he adds his links again (which seem to change regularly). --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 19:02, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Interesting pattern:

There may be some link-spamming but it turns out this is really more about an SEO firm adding articles about their clients, burnishing their spin and then search-optimizing these articles with lots of internal wiki-linking. The internal wiki-linking makes a lot of sense and by itself is not necessarily a problem for us since we're supposed to be doing this for all our articles (see "Build the web"). The potential problem, though: when someone searches for "elite+small+college+new+england", a search engine will return our "Acme Polytechnic University & For-profit Diploma Mill" article high in search engine rankings (and above other Wikipedia articles). When the searcher then clicks on the search result link, they go to a POV article speaks of Acme PU&FDM in glowing terms.

Collectively, this firm's accounts have received planty of warnings and requests to stop. --A. B. ^(talk) 23:47, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Since Shadow has left wikipedia, AntiSpamBot is now disfunctional. Versageek and I have the code, and the bot is now running in the background without reverting. My main question is, do we still need AntiSpamBot next to the spam blacklisting. In my view, it does fill a gap for links which can not be blacklisted since they do add information, but which do get spammed.

I am planning to do some rewriting in the code and some of the functions, and will probably start from an empty database (though I do have all the links that were blacklisted before).

Hope to get some comments and if there are some things that we would like to see changed, I can try and implement that as well. --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 14:43, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

:I would assert it still has a place and purpose on the project. Not sure of all the functions it had before, but I would think there are many functions that could be added. --Hu12 (talk) 15:16, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

The new AntiSpamBot, User:SquelchBot, has been approved for a trial of 50 edits. It has just been activated on an nearly empty database of links-to-revert. More news to follow, please leave a message when there are things in need of reverting, User:Versageek or I will get to it as soon as possible (within the limits of our trial-period). --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 14:22, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

:Since last night, User:SquelchBot is active (in its trial period), and it has started reverting and warning users. I have rewritten (and am still rewriting) the text for the warnings. It does include the uw-spam-templates (subst of the templates, so that can be changed site-wide), but as it is an automated revert, an explanation of why the bot reverts is there as well. It also tries to catch an external link that the editor added and puts this in the warning as well (as most people can't read the regular expressions), which also results in the talkpages showing up in linksearches! Also a detection of linking to media files and IP edits is in place, both with an (hopefully) appropriate remark.

:Please have a look at the variety of warnings the bot leaves behind, and if you have any suggestions or improvements (including typos), please poke me or User:Versageek. Also other suggestions are welcome, as are improvements/expansions on the 'documentation' under the userspace of SquelchBot. Cheers. --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 13:25, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

:Before I forget: requests can be deferred to User:SquelchBot/Blacklist requests. Which brings me to a follow-up question: would it be useful to have a 'toolbox'/'indicatorbox', like on WP:SBL? --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 13:50, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

::Certainly would be helpfull creating the same type of header with a 'toolbox'/'indicatorbox'. who can ad/remove to the bot?--Hu12 (talk) 20:12, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

:Re Hu12: At the moment only User:Versageek and I have access via IRC, for those who want access, join us on the spam-irc channel, besides access to IRC you will need a confirmed, cloaked nick on IRC (before Versageek or I can tell SquelchBot to listen to you).

:SquelchBot has now run its trial run. It did not get to an WP:AIV report in that time, but it reverted some editors. Can I ask the people here to have a look at the warnings it issued, and see if there are any suggestions there. It gives a standard uw-spam-template, and a specific warning (see e.g. User_talk:76.167.198.87 (media-file specific warning) and User_talk:78.174.219.246 (up to level 3 in SquelchBot)). Any suggestions? --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 11:15, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

I have changed the archiving from Shadowbot3 to MiszaBot as the former is now not active anymore, and this page is becoming really big. It will now archive everything older than 7 days, and will follow a name similar to the old archives. When bigger than 250k it will increase the number (I am not sure if that will reset to 1 at the end of a month .. I don't think so). --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 12:10, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

::::The top 2 IP's accounts are of recent activity. Mostly what remains are talk pages and non mainspace (13 mainspace). Masive amounts cross wiki (30^{[http://tools.wikimedia.de/~eagle/linksearch?search=banknotes.com&totalwikis=57]}), didn't bother even going through them. Meta BL most likely...--Hu12 (talk) 04:32, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

I am a frequent editor of currency articles. From what I can tell, banknoteworld.com is far better than banknotes.com in terms of providing images. Banknoteworld.com is more complete, the resolution is better, and is non-commercial. Most currency articles transclude {{tl|Standard numismatics external links}}, which links to banknoteworld.com but not banknotes.com. If I see links to banknotes.com, either to a country or to an image, I would replace them with equivalent to banknoteworld.com. That being said, sometimes banknotes.com has things that are not available on banknoteworld.com, such as images of Chechen nahar. Putting banknotes.com on the blacklist would eliminate it as an alternative. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 10:43, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

:After this comment I am putting it on Squelchbot's revert list. That means that established editors can add it, IPs and new accounts will be reverted. Hope this resolves the situation a bit (though it will not resolve the cross-wiki aspect). --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 12:26, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Has been warned, but kept adding links to Outdoor magazine, mainly in the EL sections. The links tend to be reviews of a company's products when added to company articles, and not really info on the company. Main concern is the repeated adding of the links across Wikipedia in what appears to be a campaign to drive traffic to the magazine's website. Aboutmovies (talk) 00:39, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Comments? Improvements? Hate mail? --A. B. ^(talk) 00:53, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

:This would be very helpful. I don't post here enough to have the formats memorized so I copy from the posts above or use whatever works, like in the above post I used the arguably inappropriate {{tl|vandal}} template. New posters might not even realize there's a suggested format. Cluing people in makes it look less like a cabal and is more inclusive too. Katr67 (talk) 02:42, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

::Like it, and its useful. May want to semi-p the templates.--Hu12 (talk) 03:03, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

:::Hu12, I went ahead and fully protected the templates for 5 years -- a lot of our spammers have existing sock accounts (as Durova put it, "ripened socks", a memorable phrase worthy of a barnstar for its vivid imagery). I know full page protection is controversial and I'm a new admin -- if you disagree, feel free to adjust the protection.

:::Katr67, these templates facilitate some special checks we do around here -- for instance, the IP and User Summary templates have x-wiki edit history links allowing us to see edits on other wikis. Also, because they're not substituted ("subst:"), as we develop new tools, all these templates on hundreds of pages update whenever we update the template.

:::I've also added comments about using "subst:" to the template language and fiddled with the formatting.

:Just to make it a bit better, I am already playing for some time with moving the {{tl|spamlink}} to something less stigmatising for the link. In line with the others, would {{tl|LinkSummary}} be a good alternative? --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 10:16, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
