This site is already blacklisted on it's old host as �mywikibiz\.com/Directory:Logic_Museum� - it has it's own domain now. Should that be blacklisted as well? - MrOllie ( talk) 19:05, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
RationalWiki is often used as a reference in Wikipedia articles despite wikis not being considered reliable sources under Wikipedia standards. RationalWiki was listed on the XLinkBot Revertlist, but this has not corrected the problem and people are still adding references to the site in articles. The people whom are adding RationalWiki to articles are likely members of RationalWiki. I do not hide the fact that I have ties to RationalWiki and one of its rival wikis, but I simply want what is best for Wikipedia, and I feel it is best for Wikipedia if this wiki is added to the blacklist as I can think of no legitimate reason for the site to be linked to from Wikipedia. If a need to link to it arises in the future, it can be removed. PCHS-NJROTC (Messages) 00:57, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
Obviously a scam site (the "Microsoft Partner Networks" logo at the bottom is bogus), and a domain that probably never will be able to be used by a reliable source. Blacklist because it was added to Microsoft Office. Jasper Deng (talk) 01:20, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

Identical spam has been added to Cape Spear by various IP addresses since April. Page protection is not appropriate because other IPs make legitimate edits, including reverting the spam. The user has been warned (see User talk:66.206.234.192 and various edit summaries) and individual and range blocks have been tried and work only temporarily. XLinkBot doesn't work because edits removing the spam are simply undone. Station1 ( talk) 06:22, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

Various Australian IPs have been adding this men's rights activist blog/website to articles. The targetted articles of this sneaky vandalism include BLP subjects. One of most concerning thing that often citations (to the BBC/ABC for example) are actually altered to link to an attack hosted on the voiceformen website rather than the original source. [1] [2] [3] [4] I semi-protected one article that was affected, but today I have noticed that other articles and other IP addresses have been involved, over a period of time, and depending who has been critiqued on the blog. I cannot see that this website could even be considered a reliable source, and the dangers considering some of this sneaky vandalism took almost a month to be noticed, suggest to me we should simply blacklist it.

Sockpuppet network originally added links to howflyhiphop.com mixtape articles inline on the pages of many various rappers. It's been added to Xlinkbot, but it doesn't seem to be effective at all. Now that the original accounts have been banned for sockpuppetry, various broad ranges of IPs have added links to a wide range of rapper articles, and it's rarely caught until I do a search. The closing admin at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Thatlife/Archive recommended blacklisting if the spamming continued.

I suggest adding "dinsdoc.com" to the blacklist.
The domain "Dinsdoc.com" apparently used to have online copies of old books, but has now become a spam link. Example, http://www.dinsdoc.com/niebuhr-1-30.htm
It seems any URL at that domain just leads to ads.
That was reported on ANI [9]. I removed the link from around 65 articles (most here) - it was just a convenience-link, so I was able to remove them without it impacting on verifiability.
As of now, the link is not used in article space [10]

I was trying to add the externals links on the Indian Holiday Pvt. Ltd. page when I found out the website URL was blacklisted. I've traced it back to March 2008, to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_talk:Spam-blacklist/log#March_2008 where no specific reason is given for the blacklisting. As a company profile page will warrant a link to the website as used in a standard profile page at Wikipedia, I reckon it's important enough to unblock the company website URL from the blacklist for the sake of the information. I have referred to other websites and company profile here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Travel_and_holiday_companies and almost every article provide external link to the company's official website. Thanks. Nikhilchandra81 ( talk) 06:34, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

I will upfront and say that I am newly employed by Unicoi Systems. I was surprised to find our website blacklisted by Wikipedia Administrators presumably for a lack of
notability. I was hoping to update the "Fusion RTOS" listing on the the
List of real-time operating systems page when i first ran into the issue. Others have had similar experiences in the past (see
Ghettoblaster's user page).
After looking at the
log entries for
unicoi.com and
dspos.com, I can see that the title in both instances is "Unicoi Systems, Inc. Spamming Wikipedia", and multiple deleted pages of Unicoi products are referenced. I am not sure why DUKG.org and simonvr.com were blacklisted by
A. B. alongside dspos.com. (See
this diff edit).
As mentioned before, I am an employee of Unicoi and would be happy if our products could be listed on Wikipedia. Yet I understand Wikipedia is an Encyclopedia and not some advertising website. However, given that we are a reputable company with some notability, I do not see why our website or product pages should remain blacklisted. Consider that we were given an
Excalibur Award from TAG in 2009. (In fact,
TAG has given us a "Top 40 Innovative Technology Company" award each year from 2007 to 2011). We were also mentioned by Analog Devices in 2007 (See
Converging on the Sweet Spot at the
Wayback Machine (archived 2008-12-26)).
We've also been featured on Bloter.net, a South Korean online media outlet specializing in information technology. If these citations are not enough, perhaps I can find more before you make the decision.

A blog providing free formats of affidavits,power of attorneys bonds etc.I was trying to include external links to this website. really sure why it's showing as blacklisted. Not quite sure about the procedure for proposing a whitelisting so I hope I'm doing this right.

A blog providing reviews and release information of various independent artists. Not really sure why it's showing as blacklisted. I was proposing to add it as an external resource to the Indie Rock article as it's become quite an authoritative resource. Not quite sure about the procedure for proposing a whitelisting so I hope I'm doing this right.
This website was created for an English Project on the Film, Night and Fog, in order to be a study guide for those not familiar with the Film, and for those who want to know more information about the context of the film and why it was made. It was created as a group project for a freshman English class at Georgia Institute of Technology. I think the reason it is being blacklisted is that it uses a free domain. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ajmalkunnummal ( talk • contribs) 07:29, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

It's the official website of one of the main political parties in Puerto Rico. It includes biographies of several of its members, which have been prominent politicians. I noticed the blacklist when I added a reference to the article on Fernando Martín García, but it could be used as one reference for other articles on similar leaders of that party. I just read here apparently why the site was blacklisted. I don't think that one user spamming is enough to blacklist the site. Thief12 ( talk) 05:46, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

I saw our site on this wikipedia report:

I don't know th reason of this situation but I suppose anybody from Marketing Dpt. was doing this actions not valid under Wikipedia rules.
I apologise for all the inconvenience and I request to be unlisted from any Wikipedia report. Also, I take actions inside the web for don't repeat this situation again.

Dear Wikipedia Admins,
I noticed that www.wikiwealth.com is blacklisted. WikiWealth.com is a collaborative research wiki that produces research reports for stocks, Exchange-traded fund (ETFs), mutual funds, currencies, and commodities. WikiWealth.com is powered by Wikidot and does not spam anyone. So I hope Wikipedia admins will remove it from the blacklist.

Folks,
While the domain sermonaudio.com is blacklisted, it is not listed in the log. SermonAudio is a professionally run web service hosting audio for church sermons and teaching. I have been a member for some years and have never seen the site create (or be used for) spam. While this is my first report of a proposed removal, I don't see any obvious reason in the COIBot report to suggest why it's been blacklisted. If there's something obvious to an Admin, I'll look forward to your response and clarification here, to help me better understand the mechanism.
FWIW, my intention to link to it is simply to link to a page showing the messages for a particular church. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Carehart ( talk • contribs)

I've been helping to edit the article for the band Frightened Rabbit, and given their lack of widespread popularity, it can be very hard to find an adequate citation if one is blocked. A story that the band describes was important to their start, and it needs to be said. Without uncensoredinterviews.com being available for me to use as a citation, I don't have the ability use the bit. Now, I'm probably wrong as to the customs for putting a new entry into Wikipedia, but I was fairly sure that most things need citations. I assure you that this site isn't spam (or so I hope), it contains quite a bit of valuable information about less popular bands, and if it is possible, could this site be removed from the list, or at least an explanation of why it was put on it in the first place?
