| I've noticed popping up here and there. In most cases, by spot checking, I found the links added by IP users mapping to India. (Look for 122. IPs). I'm not entirely convinced that this is spam ... well ... it's spam, but it's borderline useful content as opposed to merely being a link aggregator or trying to push a commercial product. Maybe I'll be more dogmatic tomorrow, but I thought I would post it here first to see if anyone has a strong opinion one way or the other on removing the links. --] 02:33, 10 October 2007 (UTC) | |||

| == Time for blacklisting blogspot.com, with whitelisting of specific domains? == | |||
| The rule \bblogspot\.com is (currently) not on COIBot's monitorlist. Some of the sub-domains have been added via ], or have been caught by the automonitoring of COIBot (mainly because the name of the editor is the same as the name of the subdomain on blogspot.com). | |||
| Still, a linksearch on the resolved IP of blogspot.com (72.14.207.191) results in a mere ] results (all COIBot linkreports)! Often the multiple use of the single subdomains is not a cause for blacklisting, as they may only have been used once or twice. Also, I suspect there are tens of thousands of blogspot sub-domains out there, but these are only the links that are caught because the wiki username overlaps with the domainname of the subdomain (or have been reported here). Would this cumulative behaviour warrant blacklisting of \bblogspot\.com .. here, or even on meta? --] <sup>] ]</sup> 12:37, 30 November 2007 (UTC) | |||

This user edited and replaced several articles with spam. https://en.wikipedia.org/Special:Contributions/LacedMedia I have fixed what I can but the Container City article is still vandalized. AlanKHG (talk) 18:51, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
- @AlanKHG I've restored that article and blocked the user. Thanks for the report. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 19:04, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

Likely a script driven spam bot that have inserted a page with product purchasing link to a $39.00 book into a swath of Scouting related articles and talk pages in rapid succession. Contribution nuke by an admin and block needed. It would be too tedious to be done manually. Graywalls (talk) 23:39, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Graywalls Done. That's my edit quota for the day! Will also blacklist the domain. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 23:48, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

The link is used in dozens of articles and aside from a few, they appear to have been inserted by the same user. It appears to be a questionable source of limited value. Graywalls (talk) 22:51, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
- User is blocked, domain is being discussed at RSN. I don't think there's anything more to be done really. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 23:12, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
- I was hoping to get COIBot links spawned so I can see the insertion history. Graywalls (talk) 23:24, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Graywalls COIBot was down, finally got to repair it, I have requested the bot to save the report. Dirk Beetstra 14:01, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

User:2A02:2378:1281:C427:C0B6:E801:79D4:4209 is repeatedly posting inappropriate links to articles, often disguising the text with those links. Another user told them to stop on their talk page but they are still vandalizing these pages. Colohisto (talk) 07:35, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
