Affiliate content farm that is nearly 1000 times across Wikipedia. Avgeekamfot ( talk) 11:29, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
Part of same spam campaign as stockjacks. Added to MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist. OhNoitsJamie Talk 14:49, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
At some point recently the 4chan link in this diff became blacklisted. I don't see a discussion of this in the archives here. I'm not sure how important this link was, but it was being used for illustration of historical events not as a citation of fact or expert opinion. Is all of 4chan permanently blacklisted from any link on Wikipedia? Where was the discussion? Thanks. —DIYeditor ( talk) 01:45, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
Numerous recently-created WP:SPAs are spamming content from this source, potentially state-sponsored. Further discussion about it at WP:RSN. - Amigao ( talk) 00:48, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
can we finally remove this from the blacklist? It's been 15 years, TBH the reasons from back then seem completely irrelevant today, unless we want to appear more stubborn than a textbook donkey :} tl;dr the site was used as a reference in edit wars to things that are completely irrelevant today (versioning a game that no longer even has a version line in an infobox) 192.165.195.143 ( talk) 17:51, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
Seems like some sort of sockfarm. LilianaUwU ( talk / contributions) 06:43, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

Completed cleanup as instructed by Ohnoitsjamie here. Now it's ready to be added. Graywalls ( talk) 00:28, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
Spam with many different accounts. -- Annh07 ( talk) 17:51, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
These are scraper sites that take content from non-English news sites and present their machine translations as their own original articles, without attributing the original source or noting that they are machine translations, in violation of copyright. (World-today-news is named in this article discussing AI-generated content farms.) Already brought up at WP:RSN, where it was suggested that they be blacklisted as copyright violators per WP:ELNEVER. -- Paul_012 ( talk) 08:47, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
It is a site that hosts user-generated tours in which the publishing user receives commission each time the tour is purchased. Like HubPages, the contents are crated by users, thus it fails WP:RS; and given that tours are purchasable, it creates an incentive for people shoehorn the tour they produced into various destinations to promote their tour. User generated tours really have no place as a reliable source and given the HubPages like issue, I believe it should be added to blacklist. Graywalls ( talk) 08:18, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
