I am going to add \bnoooxml\.org\/petition, the rest of the site does not seem to get spammed. If these IPs resort to adding the main domain, then that can be added. Consider   Done. --Dirk Beetstra T C 13:10, 8 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
This site appears to be valid content that many users have self-added to their user page. I don't see how it warrants being called spam. The only links provided are to user pages and article content on which the links are appropriate for content reason. Wjhonson (talk) 17:40, 8 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
The petitionsite is clearly pushed and reverted many times. Wikipedia is not a soapbox! --Dirk Beetstra T C 17:49, 8 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
Expand answer: I did not say, and neither did Hu12, that the site was spam. The bot is meant to, and I quote, 'Revert additions of external links deemed to be unhelpful and/or spam'. Links to petition sites are rather unhelpful, with few exceptions, per WP:NOT#SOAPBOX. Here is a case where links are mainly added by several IP accounts in a way that is not useful, and the link has a mere 2 occurances on wikipedia. Maybe established editors should have a look how the link can be used positively, may I invite you to review the use of these links? I hope this explains. --Beetstra (public) (Dirk BeetstraT C on public computers) 21:09, 8 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
Additionaly, the use of open proxies and zombie PC's are good indications of questionable motives. I'm sure we all have better things to do than argue the obvious.--Hu12 (talk) 21:33, 8 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Inappropriate addition of blog links from IP - 172.X range.

Diffs= [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12]. Link adder took a dislike to User:Funeral for removing his link and vandalised his talk page here and here. A little name calling here. Forwarding request on my talk page from regular IP editor "Libs" - 156.34.x range.--Alf melmac 12:15, 13 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Adding spamlink template. --Beetstra (public) (Dirk BeetstraT C on public computers) 15:27, 13 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

This site is continually being inserted in Klingon, Borg starships, Vulcan starships and Borg. As per WP:EL, this url is neither helpful nor informative as it is purely in Spanish. I have warned (within a range of IP addresses) several times and suggested they try the Spanish Wikipedia—I am not able to judge whether the site is up to scratch for that. User:EEMIV and User:BlueCanary9999 have also been reverting these edits. Here are the diffs 1; 2; 3; 4; 5; 6; 7; 8; 9; 10; 11; 12; 13; 14; 15; 16; 17; 18; 19; 20
Here the IP addresses 190.188.157.163; 190.189.64.72; 190.188.142.252; 190.188.157.163; 190.188.146.29

whatbird.com edit

Hi, Pls remove whatbird.com from the Revertlist of the XlinkBot. The link contains the birdcalls and songs of the birds that cannot be added to the wiki. Thanks for your consideration. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ropm (talk • contribs) 18:21, 19 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

We know you're being paid to add those links. Spammers are not welcome on Wikipedia.   Not done. MER-C 11:06, 21 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Mises.org, Cato.org, Lewrockwell.com edit

Latest comment: 16 years ago3 comments2 people in discussion

Please remove links to "\bcato\.org" (Cato Institute), "\bmises\.org" (Ludwig von Mises Institute) and "\blewrockwell\.com" (Lewrockwell.com) as these web addresses often contain writings of notable figures (40+, see linked articles) and thus these websites meet WP:RS at the very least in virtue of WP:SPS. In refusing this request, please explain why these sites are blacklisted to begin with. Thanks, скоморохъ 15:37, 16 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

For those there is not an appropriate log, they were added before we started logging. I am having a look around. Please be aware, that the bot only reverts IPs and new accounts, and that good link can be added to this wikipedia inappropriately (being pushed, spammed, or added with promotional intent etc.), and that may be the reason that it is on the revertlist.
  • mises.org, seems to be widely used, there appear to be a couple of accounts that have this site as a favourite, but no clear sign of spamming, removed
  • cato.org, no sign of spamming, not as widely used, removed.
  • lewrockwell.com, similar, no clear spamming, removed.
Thanks for the question, guess one of the operators added it when we were still working with the internal database (not with this list) while there were some IPs using the link too often. Hope this helps!
  Done --Dirk Beetstra T C 19:08, 16 March 2008 (UTC)Reply
Thank you for your swift, succinct and very unbitey response, Dirk. As the above sites are all written from a particular point of view (libertarian/anarcho-capitalist), it's possible some POV-warrior used them disruptively in the past; that said, each is host of well-respected scholarship, and Wikipedia is the better for having restored their use.
