    Like the one above, this one appears to have slipped through the cracks. It isn't a reliable source (it claims to be crowdsourced), many of its "biographies" are copyvios, and it is overloaded with ads. In the last several articles I've checked, it adds nothing of value. The issue has been brought up before on the talk page for the article about the site itself, we even had a WikiProject to use lists from that site to create biographies here. While not all of the additions were made by bad faith editors, the site is undeniably unreliable as a source, it obviously isn't "official" to any of the biographies in question, and in every instance I've found so far, it adds nothing of value as an external link that someone couldn't otherwise find through a very simple Google search.

    The worrying part is that there are literally thousands of biographies that are using this site as either an external link or a reference. Is there a bot that can be tasked with removing specific spam links identified by the Spam WikiProject (in addition to blacklisting to prevent future additions)? user:j (talk) 20:43, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

    If deemed appropriate mass removal shouldn't be that difficult. Werieth (talk) 20:56, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
    While the bios themselves are usually not RS, it also has many gravestone photos, which are pretty much self-verifying and quite useful. The findagrave bios also will (sometimes) provide citations to obscure sources that can then be used to verify their content. In short, dismissing them out-of-hand could be a mistake.

    Comment I reverted the most recent ones, but there are over 500 still out there. Link probably meets reliable sources, but has been subject of long-term canvassing by at least one user. OhNoitsJamie 21:45, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
    This is a legitimate news source. 3 News views with One News as the two authoritative television news shows in New Zealand. Neither are predominantly tabloid (although both do cover celebrity gossip along with more weighty issues). The edits by Exenola I've looked at all appear to be good edits; the only cause for concern is that all used the same source, and the editor did not reply to concerns about this on their talk page. Editors often do have a preference for a particular source, but this does not constitute spam. I use the New Zealand Herald as a source frequently; in part, that is because when I first started editing Misplaced Pages its main competitor in NZ print media was Stuff.co.nz, which at the time did not keep its articles online longterm. Stuff has since improved, but my habits were set. This does not make me a spammer; I have no commercial interest in any media company.-gadfium 19:57, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
    I realize that 3news is a legitimate news source. For that reason, I've only been reverting ones that were canvassed by this user. If you look at the user's pattern closely, it's clear that they tried to add short sections plus the ref any time a subject hit the headlines; classic WP:SPA behavior. Unlike you, Exenola never made changes that didn't involve adding a 3news link. I don't think I'm going to revert further. I do think it's important to document the abuse here so that further SPA accounts can be dealt with more quickly. OhNoitsJamie 19:54, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

    • Comment I reverted most of them; as of this writing, thirty are remaining.OhNoitsJamie 21:45, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
    • Comment I think there is a mistake here in this mass removal. User:Ohnoitsjamie seemingly did not agree with the links I have added at Brockton and Worcester (Massachusetts) articles and then he removed, presumably without checking, all the links to the same domain name (added over a period of some 8 months and not disputed before; it was not some kind of link spam as it is made seem here). This is not the way it should be done. Here I give just a few examples of what has been removed and tagged as "spam"/"link canvassing":
    1. A link from Vilnius article to the most extensive English online travel guide to Vilnius .
    2. A link from Lithuanian American article to the largest English language webpage on Lithuanian American heritage.
    3. A link from Kaunas article to the most extensive English online travel guide to Kaunas .
    I don't tink that disputing 2 or even 10 links is a reason to remove 50 appropriate ones. Also I don't believe that my contribution to Misplaced Pages by providing links to websites that conform with Misplaced Pages rules and add something to Misplaced Pages is detrimental. As you can see this is far from the only type of contribution I made since I joined in 2006 as I have also started numerous articles and some of the facts I added have been featured on "Did you know..." on the front page. BBBDBV (talk) 08:04, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
    95% of what you've done over the years is add links to the same website to Misplaced Pages. Consider yourself lucky that it took this long for someone to catch on. Also see WP:COI. (I'm pretty sure I've removed more than 50, and will get the rest today). OhNoitsJamie 14:47, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
    The "95% of those years" is simply not truth. I have added no links to that website at all before May 21st of 2012 (my edit list, scroll down). Only in a minority of my total edits I have added links. And the rest of my Misplaced Pages edits included sizeable ones such as these at Eurobasket 2011 article 1, 2, 3, 4 and I have newly started articles.
    In any case, now I understand you believe that I am employed by the website. That is, the trouble is me and not the website. However, I have not received any money from that website, neither directly nor indirectly. The way I see it is that the website in question is probably the largest English website on Lithuania (excluding news websites) so it quite naturally has lots of information; on many Lithuania-related topics it provides the most extensive English coverage available online. Therefore there are lots of Misplaced Pages articles where links to different webpages of the website could be added adhering to Misplaced Pages rules (nobody ever disputed this).
    Anyway I understand you that my edits may seem to you of bad faith, given the situation. However neither in WP:EL nor WP:COI have I saw a recommendation to unilaterially remove all the (completely legitimate) links added by an editor if there is a personal belief that the editor acted in conflict of interest. And this case is borderline at best (it is porbably clear for you as well that this was not bot-spamming nor any other cases specifically mentioned in WP:EL). In fact, WP:COI provides a very different procedure:
    The first approach should be direct discussion of the issue with the editor, referring to this guideline. If persuasion fails, incidents may be reported on the conflict of interest noticeboard (WP:COIN), and users may be warned with the uw-coi user warning template. Conflict of interest is not in itself a reason to delete an article, though other problems with the article arising from a conflict of interest may be valid (see criteria for deletion).
    Given the situation an understandable procedure would have been to refer the matter to people knowledgable on the subject in Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Lithuania to let them decide which links are acceptable and which aren't. BBBDBV (talk) 13:06, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

    InhaleTime.com is really no different than linking to a blog or personal website and fails Misplaced Pages's specific inclusion requirements of our External Links policy. Being that "anyone can contribute", it has limited or no editorial oversight (see WP:RS) and articles are essentially self-published or Origional research.--Hu12 (talk) 19:03, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

    "...my PHPixie"
    Moving one's own link "UP", is never a sign of good faith. Within ONE WEEK of registering his site phpixie.com (2012-12-28) he requested for an article about PHPixie to be created, sourced it with phpixie.com and his own personal blog dracony.org, then followed that by spamming it (url's and redlinks) on Comparison of web application frameworksSeems. His marketing isn't limited to Misplaced Pages but promoting elswhere by comment spamming and more comment spamming and forum spam and more forum spam, ect.., ect..

    Odd series of edits by User:Prilanket‎ and User:Gresta--no edit summaries, often marked as minor edits--linking to subdomains of growiktionary.org. These are purporting to be references but this appears to be an unreliable source. Note that I've deleted all the ones I could find. Logical Cowboy (talk) 06:31, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

    cakewalk.com

    Found a completely irrelevant link to this site while editing the Kevin Kern page, and turns out it's on a ton of music-related pages.

    There is an unmanageable amount of these throw away accounts using their pages for this ROBLOX thing...--Hu12 (talk) 05:47, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

    Possible mass page creation for spam purposes

    This user has been here since January 8th, and in that time, has created close to 70 new pages. All of them are about Hungarian artists, few give anything in the way of notability, and they all in the 'external links' section links contain links to budapestauction.com and hung-art.com, specifically to sections where the artist's work can be bought at auction.

    Yep, that's spam. Not only that, but this user's edits are full of copyvio. I'm going to escalate this to ANI -- WP:ANI#User:Annaauc -- persistent copyvios and spam. MER-C 11:37, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
