The Howling Sea
:{{UserSummary|Thehowlingsea}}
:{{IPSummary|78.146.54.207}}
A folk song project based on East London themes. The article might be borderline notable (2 refs, one online), but the author has also added an "in music" section and para to a large number of articles on the song topics, including such biggies as Brunel and also such obscurities as Tosher. This is "internal spam", not external linkage.
The problem, as always, is that the relevance of musical topics isn't commutative. A song about the SS Great Eastern makes the Great Eastern highly relevant to the song, but it doesn't make the song relevant to the ship. Only if the song is especially notable (some "The Wreck of the..." songs do manage this) does the song gain a notable relevance to its subject. This is also diluted when the subject is particularly notable in its own right. Strawberry Fields would never have been a notable childrens' home without the song, but Dr Barnado was.
The first account has been nameblocked (marginal, IMHO) as potentially a group account. I'm reluctant to throw the IP into WP:AIV as this isn't vandalism, but nor do I think it's acceptable encyclopedic content, certainly not without breaching WP:UNDUE.

Spam from the journalism course at Winchester University
{{LinkSummary|winchesterjournalism.co.uk}}
I recently reverted a couple of external links to winchesterjournalism.co.uk that had been added by SPA {{user4|Georgeberridge1}}, see [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Guardian&diff=prev&oldid=401256200 The Guardian], and [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Heart_Network&diff=prev&oldid=401256462 The Heart Network]. The material at Winchesterjournalism is provided by students on the journalism couse at Winchester University, and to my mind the linked pages fail WP:EL by a margin.
I couldn't work out quite why Georgeberridge1 resinserted the links twice, despite my spam warnings at his page, other than to note the byline of the author was strikingly similar to Georgeberridge. Until I found instructions by one of the course tutors, which include Then once the article is up on the site ... then link to that URL from Wikipedia (or any other sites in addition that you can think of - eg, blogs). That way you will get a lot more traffic to Journalism Now and then ultimately to your blog:. The instructions are (as of now) on the front page at http://www.winchesterjournalism.co.uk/ but I think [http://www.winchesterjournalism.co.uk/joomla_1.5_coursesite/index.php?view=article&id=209:ma-and-year-one-journalism-now&format=pdf this] might be more permanent.
If the course tutors are recommending that the students spam Wikipedia, then I think rather more of these links might be heading our way. Again, I don't think the material is very good. Anyone have any thoughts or advice on a line of action? Mr Stephen (talk) 15:37, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
Hi, George Berridge here.
I'm really sorry for any trouble I've caused. I'm new to Wiki and hadn't checked the 'My Talk' section.
I had assumed the links went down due to an error on my part in the way I'd posted them. That's why I posted them a second time. My mistake entirely!
The articles are a way of showing what we've learnt through research as part of our course.
I didn't realise that by putting links on to the article that I was violating Wikipedia's rules.
There is no harm through meant through the articles and I would be very grateful of any help you could give me to help right the situation.
Thanks.

DVD Release Sections
This user {{UserSummary|ElvisSacramento}} is putting DVD release sections in movie articles with links to a company called Mill_Creek_Entertainment, which are all being released some time in 2010-2011. Looks pretty spammy and unencyclopedic to me, but I'm not totally familiar with this area. If my hunch is right, there's a [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&limit=500&target=ElvisSacramentogood number] of them, and maybe more linked to accounts on the page history at Mill Creek Ent. Ocaasi (talk) 04:51, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
:Yes, spammy, promotional, unsourced, unencyclopedic. It's not just Mill Creek Entertainment: [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Soldiers_of_Fortune_%28TV%29&action=historysubmit&diff=399792724&oldid=377977066 Timeless Media Group] [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pie_in_the_Sky_%28TV_series%29&action=historysubmit&diff=396501719&oldid=394107839 Acorn Media]. Looks fairly minor, though. He's not the only one doing this, and he's never been notified about the relevant policies/guidelines.
:I'd like to see more discussion on DVD release sections. My initial inclination would be to remove them. --Ronz (talk) 18:12, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
::If the additions are for solely advertising the sale of the DVD by a particular studio, website, store, etc., then it should be removed/reworded. For film articles, the section is supposed to include a summary that encompasses all forms of home media (for example, some older films have been released on VHS, laser disc, DVD, and now Blu-ray). A general description with an overview of additional features, sales, and critical reception can be encyclopedic. Detailing a film's Blu-ray sale on Amazon doesn't really help improve the article. WP:FILM's guidelines touch on this, but don't really spell out not to advertise. We'll need to take a look at expanding that to assist new editors and hopefully deter spammers. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 07:36, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
:::Thanks for the input. I'm not totally sure where this leaves the issue. The additions are short and not particularly useful, but they do identify that the DVD exists and name of the company putting it out. Are you saying that unless it can add more useful information, like what features are on the DVD, its not ok. Because as is, I can't see taking out any information as leaving a usable piece (all it would say is 'Coming out on DVD in 2011'). Should I ask about this over at MOS:FILM? Ocaasi (talk) 20:59, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
I was asked to comment by user Ronz, so I will give my opinion on the issue seeing as how most of my work on Wikipedia is devoted to DVD releases of primarily older TV series. First, as to the above noted user and his actions, I cannot comment as I am not familiar with his edits since my edits are solely for TV series not films.
As for DVD release sections in general, I think they are relevant and should remain. Due to technological advancements, it is now possible to own copies of television series for one's own personal viewing. As such, this is a relevant topic that should be mentioned in an article about a TV series. The key issue which I think merits more discussion is what form would DVD release sections take, namely should there just be a few sentences about the releases or should a table be included which contains release date info?! This is a contentious issue which I have dealt with before and as such I have made some changes in how I edit these sections. My rule for DVD release tables is to only include them *if* a series is still being released on DVD or if a show has being released in multiple regions.
Bottom line, I would object to the outright removal of DVD release sections but would not necessarily object to the removal of the tables should that be something that a majority of editors desire?! I have been trying to get away from putting in tables and I am focusing instead on inserting references for each release where users can find more detailed info on the release instead of putting that info the article which I have noticed other users have done in various articles. Due to Wikipedia being an open platform, its difficult to make wholesale changes (such as removing these DVD release tables) because other users go in an re-instate them if they have been deleted. I would second Ronz's suggestion of having more discussion on DVD releases where hopefully some consensus can be reached and perhaps even a uniform policy about them can be instituted?!The GateKeeper07 (talk)

This link is used 66 times as reference, but appears to have been spammed crosswiki. 114.76.26.136 has placed the link 15 times for example. The site appears to have a definite commercial interest (selling real estate and the site is full of flashy advertising) and I would say that the referential value is too low to keep, but I am not sure. Please have a look to see if this link can be kept or deleted. EdBever (talk) 21:23, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
:It is mostly being used to reference median home values. As such its usefulness depends on its reliability. I would suggest asking at the reliable sources noticeboard to see if the figures presented in the site are reliable. Looking over Wikipedia:WikiProject_Spam/LinkReports/realestate.com.au, I see a lot of new accounts adding this link but its hard to tell if they are doing it for promotional purposes (a coordinated spamming attempt?) or not.
