Hi again, could you please sychronise the blacklist against the 65+1 domains currently listed at en:Wikipedia:Long_term_abuse/Universe_Daily. From now on, we'll be adding newly discovered domains to his long term abuse report by date to help you guys update this list in future. Thanks --  Netsnipe    (Talk)   22:21, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

ytmnd
Is it possible to restrict *.ytmnd.com with an exception for www.ytmnd.com? I am removing YTMNDs from articles on a daily basis, almost always containing copyvio soundtracks and having no actual relevance to the subject. See this example: [1]. If this is not possible I will keep scanning. Just zis Guy, you know? 08:23, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
In that case www.ytmnd.com must be added to MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist. For en-wp you can request it here. Of course if all subdomains really should be blacklisted and are blacklisted. Max S em 09:04, 24 July 2006 (UTC) We currently have only two YTMNDs blacklisted, unfunnytruth and unfunnysequel. The two problems I'm having right now are (a) insertion of YTMND links into mainstream articles, often these have copyvio soundtracks and in any case it's not like YTMND is Saturday Night Live; and (b) the use of individual YTMNDs as cited sources in articles such as ebaumsworld - these are not admissible as sources, but no matter how often they get removed someone puts them back. Just zis Guy, you know? 10:26, 24 July 2006 (UTC) I disagree, since there are several highly notable YTMNDs that should be linked to from the YTMND article because of their relevant history to the site as a whole. These include the original YTMND, the Picard YTMND, any YTMND referenced mentioned in the media (and several reliable sources, including CNN and the New York Times, have brought up YTMNDs) and maybe the Bauman Letters Dramatic Reading YTMND. Although I agree that random YTMND insertion into articles is vandalism. Crazyswordsman. We already link to the YTMND wiki. Just zis Guy, you know? 09:22, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
Why block theunfunnytruth? I don't understand what would be wrong with it. 65.27.211.52 21:15, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
The theunfunnytruth (I believe) would be a most beneficial lnk for the Scientology article. You can clearly see the refrences for the information at the end and it does not "make up" information to criticize the Sci Church. This is a view which has been robustly rejected by editors of that article. 62.73.137.190 13:00, 21 August 2006 (UTC) I was thinking of putting a new section in Scientology_controversy after 'External Links', called 'External Links which reference this Wikipedia article', and putting the unfunnytruth ytmnd in there. It would be a reciprocal link because unfunnytruth references that specific Wikipedia entry. It would also be appropriate because most of the page views coming to that page are from presumably previous viewers of that ytmnd because of its popularity. Fame begets fame. Actual link would be titled 'Unfunny[sic] Truth' and description would say 'Major contributor to the current controversy'. Sounds good, no? Based on ongoing difficulties with YTMND sites, I would suggest wikis who need to link to such a site add that site to their whitelist, and the complete *.ytmnd.com be added to Spam blacklist. - Amgine / m | n 03:11, 2 September 2006 (UTC) Hmm, we'll have to do some work[2] before blacklisting. Max S em 06:09, 3 September 2006 (UTC) Indeed. I don't mind doing it, either. I think that www. is OK for the site and a few related articles, but any other YTMND added is almost invariably spam. Another ten out of mainspace today, including the Unfunny Truth, which appears to have been linked despite being blacklisted. Just zis Guy, you know? 09:21, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
As of today there are four links to ytmnds other than www. or wiki. [3]. Of those only one is in main space, and the source for its inclusion is too blurred to be readable (although it's repeated in text on one of the two linked sources). Just zis Guy, you know? 13:13, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
Support . we need an en.wp sysop to whitelist www.ytmnd.com and wiki.ytmnd.com. BTW, is there a way to redirect a user to subdomains from www.ytmnd.com? Max S em 07:36, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
After a lot of work and some lengthy discussions on the en:YTMND talk page I think we have reached the point where I can bring a proposal here. As you know, YTMND is a popular website and we have an article on it which discusses some of the "fads" it generates. There is, however a problem with linking direct to YTMNDs as (a) they often use a Flash preloader (contrary to external link guidelines on active content requiring external players); (b) many of the soundtracks are copyright violations (contrary to external link guidelines on copyrighted content) and (c) they are constantly added to mainspace by fans, despite often being of little or no importance (e.g. en:Pi. [4] ). There appears to be a consensus at en:Talk:YTMND that in discussing fads we should link to the YTMND wiki article on the fad (which avoids both the active content and the copyright issue). We have already blocked two YTMNDs for being spammed to the project, and what I'd like to suggest, to save the daily lnksearch and prune tedium, is to blacklist *.ytmnd.com and whitelist wiki.ytmnd.com and www.ytmnd.com. This will prevent the prolific spamming of YTMNDs either by good faith but misguided fans, or by those aiming to promote fads for googlebombing purposes (as we saw with the unfunny truth fad), it will prevent things like the problems we had with en:safety when the Safety Not Guaranteed fad was doing the rounds (or at least mitigate the problem), it might help to avert another en:Brian Peppers fiasco and I think will improve the project and also the image of the many good YTMND members who are editors here, since all YTMNDers tend to get tarred with the same brush as each new fad is spammed. Just zis Guy, you know? 08:55, 26 September 2006 (UTC) Added to the EN Wikipedia white-list at [5]. Zscout370 02:24, 2 October 2006 (UTC) Thanks. So, can we add the balance to the blacklist now? I rmoeved another four YTMNDs from mainspace articles today. Just zis Guy, you know? 12:31, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

www.code-interactive.com
Repeated spamming on en-wiki by users Jsmorse47, Cochese8 and of course many anons leading to a couple of ugly edit wars and clashes with the spam patrols. For a quick overview see [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] Jsmorse in fact admits he is Joe Morse the co-owner of the website and all links introduced either relate to Joe Morse's book on dieting or his business as a logo creator. Pascal.Tesson 03:25, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
In addition to the accounts Pascal mentioned above (Jsmorse47. Cochese8. 66.91.227.161. and 68.107.52.12 ), I would add 66.27.121.200 and 71.136.110.46. The IPs appear to be around the San Diego area, and the website is registered to a "Morse, Joseph cochese8@[removed].com" at a San Diego address. A couple of the links have been the subject of extensive discussion with no significant support for the links aside from Cochese8 and Jsmorse47; see w:en:Talk:Basal metabolic rate and w:en:Talk:Logo.

Flcelloguy (A note?) 14:21, 8 October 2006 (UTC) No, it's unrelated to the commercial pages. This guy just uses his company's hp as webspace for his OR. It's about all cosmic rays originating from the sun and some analogy to thunderstorms. He's kind of wandering about, starting with number theory, then silly counterexamples to the four-color theorem, then moons, now cosmic radiation. Mostly, he's using dynamic IPs so he can't be blocked effectively. He's very interested in placing links to his site on his countless user pages, so it's kind of spam, but I myself are not 100% convinced this is the right place.--80.136.186.57 19:18, 8 October 2006 (UTC) I've added scheerer-software\.de to the blacklist. —[ admin ] Pathoschild 21:41, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

They've gone a little bit too far: they publish logs from IRC channels whic if unambiguously prohibited. See discussion here.

When I saw this comment, I was like "huh? Aren't they already blacklisted?" And yes, they were - until Pathoschild removed them in this ill-advised edit a few days ago. I have restored them now. Raul654 14:26, 10 October 2006 (UTC) Pathoschild removed them because Brandt's sites stopped redirecting months ago. Raul654 restored them, calling Pathoschild's edit "ill-advised," and also restored the inaccurate comment that Brandt's sites are redirecting. Therefore, Raul654's edit is based on a lie, whereas Pathoschild's edit is based on the truth. Pathoschild also queried a couple of IRC channels before taking action, and heard no objections. Raul654 acted on impulse, and didn't consult anyone. Now I ask you, who is "ill-advised" -- Pathoschild or Raul654? 68.89.130.94 20:51, 10 October 2006 (UTC) Per guidance from Foundation, we should not link to sites which directly attack or violate the privacy of Wikipedia editors. This seems like a reasonable rule to me; I guess the reason could be changed for clarity but the fact of it being blacklisted is I hope generally accepted as prudent.
