NRV, pure spam. MER-C 09:05, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
- As far as I could check it was en.wiki only? Huib talk Abigor 09:16, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
- Nope. My experience is that pure spam gets listed here even if it is spammed on only one wiki (you've missed the blacklisting of 1500+ Chinese wholesale domains in the last two months). MER-C 09:21, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

sedoparking
Today I noticed COIBot giving the following remark:
- el:star channel http://el.wikipedia.org/?diff=2233876 el:USer:94.67.204.175 www.youporn.gr (monitor) User is adding redirectsite for automonitored domain sedoparking.com - ....
And I've seen those before. Now, youporn.gr might go on the blacklist for obvious reasons .. but ...
- sedoparking.com
They say:
Domain Parking is a simple way to earn money from your domains' natural traffic. If you have registered domain names, but they are not currently being used, then domain parking is a great way to put those domains to work, earning you revenue. You can make money without even lifting a finger! The idle domain is used to display relevant advertisements -every time a consumer clicks on one of the advertisements, you earn money.
Thoughts, what to do with 'sedoparked' sites? --Dirk Beetstra T C (en: U, T) 14:38, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
- Blacklist... Huib talk Abigor 14:44, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
- Blacklist on sight. There is no legitimate reason to add a parked domain to Wikipedia, and I have encountered several annoying sedo parked domain spammers on enwiki:

I did remember to say "many", right? All of these are sites that currently offer URL redirection to the general public, or that offer redirection to paying spammers, and were verified by me to be currently active (either a working public interface, or current activity on sites like Twitter or identi.ca). This is the first half of a list that was scraped from a number of publicly-available tools, which I believe to represent the majority of known URL redirectors that aren't currently on this blacklist. The second half will follow when there's room to post it without the software screaming at me about transclusion limits. My sympathies to whoever handles the remaining work, but in the meantime there we are. Gavia immer 06:02, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

This is used officially by NASA to get feedback...there's no reason to block it.Smallman12q 23:33, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
- The 'problem' is the server it is on, uservoice.com. This is basically a petition/voting site, of which one was spammed cross-wiki. Similarly, many petition/voting sites are blacklisted on en.wikipedia, as they, generally, do not help in building the encyclopedia (violation of en:WP:SOAPBOX). Of course, exceptions exist, and this may be one. I would therefore suggest to whitelist specific links where necessary. Here

goo.gl
goo.gl
I don't see why it is blocked: it is a legit url-shortener - owned by google - which cannot be used by general public but only internally by google applications. e.g. google maps can (if you set it up appropriately) return a short url via goo.gl instead of the usual huge url. This is the regexp currently used:
\bgoo\.gl\b
--Noieraieri 11:29, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
- URL redirects do not need to be used, you can just copy/paste the whole link. Moreover, they can be used to circumvent specific blacklisting (e.g. the same google maps link, if that needed to be blacklisted for some obscure reason). And that is why all url redirect services go on the meta blacklist without discussion (or even abuse). I hope this explains. --Dirk Beetstra T C (en: U, T) 12:03, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
- Well, this specific redirect service cannot be used in the malicious ways you suggest. Anyway, nothing unexpected. --Noieraieri 14:51, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
- Declined We don't accept url shortners. Huib talk Abigor 14:53, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
Just as a note, a part of Google is blacklisted as it could be used malicious. Spamming often has nothing to do with the content being linked to, it is more how it is brought to Wikipedia. URL shorteners are generally inappropriate, as the page it redirects can just as easy be added. --Dirk Beetstra T C (en: U, T) 15:07, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

I would like algbiotek.com and balgbiotek.com and algbiotek.com to be removed from local spirulina and/or general spam blacklist. I have by mistake added external links, and I have spammed this link. I will not spam about external links anymore because I have read the rules of Wiki and now it is clear for me. Now i can no longer post algbiotek.com, even if it is not spam link - a scientific link... i want to clean this thing. I learned the rules are clear and I will try to improve and contribute without any spams in future. Please help me get these links on the whitelist or out of the blacklist. Thanks in advance. Soner
- I see you received multiple warnings about links on the English and Turkish Wikipedias which you erased before you then added still more links. I don't see how you can therefore say that adding these links were a "mistake" or that you didn't know the rules -- those warnings spelled out the rules.
- In any event, we do not remove domains from the spam blacklist in response to site-owners' requests. Instead, we de-blacklist sites when trusted, high-volume editors request the use of blacklisted links because of their encyclopaedic value in support of our encyclopaedia pages. If such an editor asks to use your links, I'm sure the request will be carefully considered and your links may well be removed.
- This blacklist is used by more than just our 700+ Wikimedia Foundation wikis (Wikipedias, Wiktionaries, etc.). All 3000+ Wikia wikis plus a substantial percentage of the 25,000+ unrelated wikis that run on our MediaWiki software have chosen to incorporate this blacklist in their own spam filtering. Each wiki has a local "whitelist" which overrides the global blacklist for that project only. Some of these non-Wikimedia sites may be interested in your links; by all means feel free to request local whitelisting on those.
- Unlike Wikipedia, DMOZ is a web directory specifically designed to categorize and list all Internet sites; if you've not already gotten your sites listed there, I encourage you to do so -- it's a more appropriate venue for your links than our wikis. Their web address: http://www.dmoz.org/.
- Should you find yourself penalized in any search engine rankings and you believe that to be a result of blacklisting here, you should deal directly with the search engine's staff. We do not have any arrangements with any of the search engine companies; if they're using our blacklist it's purely on their own initiative.

- let me answer all your questions Sir. I am the owner of the website (algbiotek.com). The external links that are present now (the scientific abstracts) on Spirulina topic belong to me. I have finally found a way to publish scientific documents except of my website. I am not expecting to get hits for that. I would like the information which are scientific, to be published anywhere. ::True scientific information should be available and for free for everyone. As you may check all the external links, there are no spam. I am a PhD student writing my thesis and publishing some information on my webpage, and try to do the same in wiki pages. please get me on whitelist for spirulina. no more mistakes from me anymore.
- See external links of spirulina: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirulina_%28dietary_supplement%29
- Please check this out. algbiotek.com is the same server as Spirunella.com, as well as bioalg.com, mikroalg.com, hawaiian-spirulina.com, spirulina-hawaii.com, hawaiian-spirulina.info, algalogy.com, algaloji.com, spirulinam.com, etc.
- I have bought more domains and redirected all JUST TO publish true information in the right way, OK for the rules. Actually they could all be from one of them but then it is accepted as spam by mr.wiki.
- This is just a misunderstanding so please get me on the whitelist.
- Give me another chance,

pidolphin.com provides free advanced financial calculator in many asset classes. It is free and educational web site and it is growing faster. It provides online derivative and financial calculator for financial engineering students. Calculators and theorems are based on many financial text books. There are many external links in many wiki pages which is not blocked or verified. I think, many financial engineering students will use www.pidoplhin.com when they study financial (derivatives) theorems. regards

It was blacklisted locally on that project only. You can request its removal there however I don't think it will likely be granted given this history. Feel free to reference this discussion here.

Whitelist cozycot.com

The article from English Wikipedia had a history of repeated creation and deletion, now its creation is permitted, after establishing the notability and undergoing various reviews. Relevant discussions:
Gatyonrew 20:48, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
- Here's the history here:
- --A. B. (talk) 23:59, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
- I see, "this is a domain that has been the subject of paid editing", that's what I've found mentioned there. This issue has been discussed in the discussions mentioned above, together with the notability and the style of the article and the result is the current notable and neutral article. Gatyonrew 12:02, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
- It's been a while since this whitelist request remains here without a resolution, I wonder if there is any issue. To begin with, the case does not look similar to the average others from here, there was no actual spam, but a history of repeated creation of the article, then the domain name was lumped together with other domains appearing in a "paid editing" case. Gatyonrew 22:12, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
I think I'd prefer that the domain be whitelisted on enwiki, since there's a real concern about this being pushed by editors being paid to do so. 
Deferred to enwiki. – mike@meta:~$ 10:57, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
- However, I didn't see the website blacklisted locally on English Wikipedia, it is here on Meta where it has a global blacklist, that's why I came here (considering also that there are articles in 5 other languages). The issues pertaining to the English article of the website (which originated the Meta blacklist request found by A.B.) have been discussed for a few weeks and the new English article has been considered neutral and "above-and-beyond what's requested by WP:N" (citing the user Hobit). This while it appears that there was never an issue about actual spamming (i.e. filling up the article with links towards cozycot.com or spamming such links in other Wikipedia articles). I'm not sure what can be done further in the English Wikipedia, what should I point out for discussion. Gatyonrew 06:52, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
- No website blacklisted here on Meta needs be blacklisted locally - that is the point of this blacklist, to save individual wikis from having to deal with it.
- If there is a valid reason to place links to the website on a specfic wiki then the site should be whitelisted on that wiki as suggested above. I see no reason to remove it from here for now - if the folk at en wp wish to whitelist it then that is all you need and will be fine for your purpose (I presume). --Herby talk thyme 14:11, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
- Then this raises the question why was this website blacklisted on Meta, with no actual spamming occurring. It was an issue of repeated creation and deletion limited only to English Wikipedia and the case pointed out by A.B. should have been dealt there in order to let me request its whitelist there (after the conclusion of the clarifications about the notability and the neutrality of the article). I saw that articles about CozyCot in non-English languages have links to its website. What is the reason to have this website blacklisted everywhere? Gatyonrew 15:28, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
- I had assumed you were an "ordinary" editor trying to write an article on en wp about something that required a link to the website. If that is the case then whilelisting there will sort your problem out. If you have some interest in the website concerned that is another matter. --Herby talk thyme 16:13, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
- I had an important input in ascertaining the notability and the neutrality of the en.wp article (that's why I even considered to add it in my userpage list of articles created by me, I practically rescued it). I found out the blacklist and I followed back its steps with this whitelist. I thought it would be a formality, given that the English article that determined the blacklist became OK, while I saw no word of actual spamming, thus there were no apparent reasons for a Meta blacklist. It was not a formality, but there were no clear answers either. Regarding your last reply, I hope this "some interest" is your isolate presumption (and I should wait for serious users to consider this matter). Gatyonrew 18:00, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
- I have been a serious user here for quite some time actually. I just don't understand why whitelisting doesn't solve your problem. I'll leave it to others now I think. --Herby talk thyme 18:03, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
- OK, let's try to separate the issues. Indeed, first I had a problem when I tried to introduce the link as the "official website" in the article, thus I found out about the blacklist. But when considering to fill in the whitelist request, I thought it would be normal to turn back the previous overall blacklist. Once the issue was clarified, the situation should go back to normal. In my personal opinion, it was not necessary the blacklist of the non-English Wikipediae, it was unjustified. I am also a speaker of Japanese, and maybe some time in the future I'll want to create an article about CozyCot in the Japanese Wikipedia. I find really unreasonable to request there too a whitelist, because of what happened in the English Wikipedia. Gatyonrew 18:23, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

It was an issue of repeated creation and deletion limited only to English Wikipedia and the case pointed out by A.B. should have been dealt there in order to let me request its whitelist there (after the conclusion of the clarifications about the notability and the neutrality of the article). I saw that articles about CozyCot in non-English languages have links to its website. What is the reason to have this website blacklisted everywhere? Gatyonrew 15:28, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
- Gatyonrew. The problem was not only on en, it was a cross-wiki problem involving an editor of who I see a ban proposal on en.wikipedia, who is actually blocked on en, and who has been using sockpuppets. Do I see there a discussion on paid editing as well? If so .. please understand, that spammers are not ordinary vandals, and if I see paid-editing, then that means that they were here to link with the only aim of earning money with it (well, all spammers are ..., that is what separates them from ordinary vandals). There are pages on my en.wikipedia watchlist which pop up every so many months, when the spammers think that we don't pay attention anymore, and they try again. I would be very reluctant in this case to blindly de-blacklist globally. I would even suggest that all wikis that need a link to this, would whitelist the specific links (e.g., an about.html), in stead of the whole domain. I hope this explains. --Dirk Beetstra T C (en: U, T) 19:32, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
- I don't see the case like this and here follow my reasons. I found that only the English article was deleted, the other articles had no problems and the links they included were never deleted either. That's why it appears to me as a problem limited to en, while the existing links in non-English wikis do not suggest any spamming in the past. The reports mentioned above (LinkReports, XWiki) let me see what happened in the past and they appear to confirm my thoughts. There are (or there were) links in the specific articles about CozyCot, there was a link in the English article about Dawn Yang (the article is currently deleted; the link does not look like spam, it is focused on gossip about Dawn Yang) and links in en, id and ms to a CozyCot article about the opening of the Asian chapter of National Geographic (the English one was deleted). This is not what I would consider spamming (of course, it remains the fact that not all CozyCot pages cited by users could be reliable sources and they should be considered on this specific basis). I have the allegation, but I don't have the reasons. And, at that time, it was not considered a cross-wiki spam, otherwise I assume the links in non-English wikis would have been deleted in the same manner as the English ones. My assumption is that probably, in the first place, the blacklist request was not well handled, many websites were lumped together and the individual cases did not get proper attention.
- Regarding your question "Do I see there a discussion on paid editing as well?", I learned about the past paid editing issue during the process of rewriting the English article. I highlighted it myself when it appeared here in the previous blacklist request. I didn't think it was a big deal, since I saw no trace of spamming. I found the connection with the paid editing incident in the restored edits of the English article, where a currently blocked user edited the content of the article. Now it seems that the simple mentioning of that issue distorts and blocks the request unreasonably and is given as a reason for not reverting what was done. There is no further inquiry into what happened and what is going on at this moment.
- Summarizing my inquiry and my point of view, about a year ago there were issues about the notability of this website and a relation with a paid editing case. Recently, the English article was reinstated, rewritten and reviewed by various users, now with plenty of reliable sources attesting its notability. It remains the paid editing issue. I don't know much about what happened about one year ago, but I can't find traces of spamming or obvious possibilities of future spam threats to justify the current blacklist. The history of links to this website that existed or exist do not support the blacklist, they appear around the average (probably even lower) number and spectrum of links one would expect and find on Wikipedia towards such kind of an website. There are users in every wiki who, the same as for any other website of this kind, would delete links to gossip threads in CozyCot forums or who would consider if articles like that one about the Asian chapter of National Geographic would be a reliable source or not. In this respect, it is their job not yours. In other respects, there is no reason to keep this website blacklisted with no actual evidence of spamming intent, just for a theoretical possibility of spamming. Gatyonrew 19:28, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
- I have refreshed the reports, and had a second look. I am going to remove the link.
- I am sorry if we seem overly protective here, most here have seen a good share of spam coming in, and I still believe that here conflict of interest, paid editing and the like did play a role in the global blacklisting. And unlike common believe, often such editors do come back, it still does pay to have links from Wikipedia to you website (believe me .. I've seen cases where after de-blacklisting the problematic behaviour started only days after the removal .. spam != some form of vandalism). I also disagree that there is no actual evidence of spamming intent. Unfortunately, the global spam blacklist exist to protect the local wikis from that spamming.
- But as I said, consider
Removed. --Dirk Beetstra T C (en: U, T) 20:41, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
- By the way, it seems that the French article is also deleted? --Dirk Beetstra T C (en: U, T) 20:49, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you, I'll keep an eye for any unusual editing. The French article was deleted during the recent recovering and the rewriting of the English one. At that time there were users who were very reluctant to see the new article, mentioning the last year issues, and when they lost the English cause, they demanded the deletion of the Chinese, Spanish and French articles (I saw in the edit histories they didn't do this last year). The first two remained, the French one got deleted (without a serious justification, in my opinion, it just needed some rewriting). I'm still learning about Wikipedia habits, the idea of fighting for a cause sometimes seems to become too theoretical. Gatyonrew 22:14, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

- Part of the problem is that you've kept re-adding it when it was previously deleted, and have added it across multiple projects. The other part is that is appears that you have an interest in the site, such as owner or maintainer (especially given your claim that it is "your site"(Your userpage, section "Free encyclopaedia my ass...", revision 377612075), given your preference for its links: This would fall under conflict of interest and is highly discouraged. Irrespective of the content, the behavior used is inadvisable and likely a motivating factor leading to its inclusion on the spam blacklist. Wikimedia projects often get mistaken for a "great way to promote your website" and a "great way to get a higher adsense rating and more views" - Also, with respect to the Wikipedia projects specifically, the site does not quite appear to meet the definition of a reliable source, lacking (on the Rat King article you have mentioned, for one) links or references to primary source material or any independent editorial oversight. You may also wish to consider the issues we have with linking to your own self-published source on these materials. I'd advise the regular maintainers of the SBL to carefully consider if they want this behavior in the future to be encouraged or not, hence my preference that the domain be kept on the blacklist at this time. Kylu 20:10, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
I know very well that wikipedia is not an advertising place, as it has no-follow links which are useless for any search engine, etc. But the reason that I did put the links was to source the info that I put in and to get a form of credit for it, as I spent time to research the subject and write the information, on both the site and wiki. Like MuZemike said You irrevocably agree to release your contributions under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 License and the GFDL. You agree that a hyperlink or URL is sufficient attribution under the Creative Commons license. See the Terms of Use for details.. –MuZemike 17:57, 5 August 2010 (UTC) Also could you please explain why exactly it is not a good source? As the content that I posted did not get deleted and apparently is good content. So how can good content come from an irreliable source? Surely you must agree that either the links should come back or the content should be thrown off, as it is illogical, to put it delicately to claim that the website from which this content came is bad, but the content itself is OK.
And as a reply to the other points, yes I do admit that I did oversource and that I did pull sources from wrong places (like the forum). I also did put them back after they were deleted but that was because they were taken without any warming/information beforehand. I did lateron come to an understanding with the person who did it. And have learned that some things should not be done. (we all make mistakes) So if you unblock the domain I do promise to only source to reliable sources and not overdo it (like adding a source at every pic that has been posted) And I will also discuss it whenever I feel uncertain.
So please reconsider and unblock the site, as I am not some random spammer, but someone who really does want to improve the info on wiki. (I doubt that a spammer would go trough so much trouble for links on a site that don't even help the website..) If I have been vague on some points in my text, then please tell me, as I will happily explain it further. --Olekp 09:15, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

I don't know why, but I found my site blacklisted. I just want to add a link here and here. I'm sure, that's a mistake. Please, remove my site from your blacklist. Thank's for helping.
- Typically, we do not remove domains from the spam blacklist in response to site-owners' requests. See also XWiki report that shows that your site is unwanted on those wikis. However, if you believe that links to your domain will enhance the content of our projects, you should suggest inclusion of the link on the relevant talk page and discuss its inclusion. In addition, some wikis have WikiProjects (like the English Wikipedia here). If there is a project for a subject area related to your domain, you can request that the project review the link. If the project, or trusted, high-volume editors support the use of your links because of its value on our projects, I'm sure the request will be carefully considered and your domain may well be removed. Until such time, this request is Declined. --dferg ☎ talk 13:03, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

These links were added a long time ago by some so called "moderator at Wikipedia", who was working for a competitor website, that simply wanted links in several Wikipedia pages for their own advertising reasons, we can prove this. As competitor he simply added the pages to the spamlist we see today. There was no verification that the pages were removed due to spam reasons. So, how come Wikimedia doesn´t verified these backlist entries till today ? Just add something and wait until somebody notice it ? Kinda looks that way.— The preceding unsigned comment was added by 91.61.127.163 (talk)
- These links were apparently also spammed a long time ago, without any form of discussion. And I can assure you, you judge the use of this list completely wrong, and I am afraid that you also misinterpret the process. Now, why should we link to these domains (as you have not provided a proper reason why we should remove it ..)? --Dirk Beetstra T C (en: U, T) 16:27, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
- I hope you are not asking me why I am making a big deal out of it now ?
- Question might be rather why nobody get´s notified when getting on a public blacklist that indicates
- that you are a spamer ? That might explain it.
- There was no reason to begin with to list these pages. So we want them removed.
- That`s out of question. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by 91.61.105.243 (talk) 00:31, 13 September 2010
- Please explain the reason that the entries should be removed. What benefit does the removal bring to Wikimedia projects? What is "out of the question" specifically? There is little reason for us to remove the entries simply because you demand it. Kylu 02:33, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
- I believe i explained that we got listed falsely. If you want to discuss, how one of wikimedia´s corrupted moderators is responsible for that, i can explain in detail. So maybe its time to fix a mistake where your system didn´t work out and did alot of harm to somebody.
- So, we don´t want to run under a malware lable thanks to wikimedia. It would be wise to list this links internal as long as the guilt hasn´t been proven or discussed with the accused.
- Verify the pages by visiting them. The pages are normal projects in the "anime/manga" genre, no malware/spam. Neither were there any issues with us besides these false entries (pages over 10 years). I think that speaks for itself. Is this enough reason ? — The preceding unsigned comment was added by 91.61.119.209 (talk) 23:10, 16 September 2010
- I've looked. It appears you run a number of forum sites regarding anime. Forums are generally not considered reliable sources as far as writing encyclopedic articles, so there's little reason to remove the entry. Before removing the entries, it would be beneficial to explain why the links would be appropriate for use on these projects.
- Our spam blacklist is for our internal use and we're neither responsible nor answerable to users from other sites who decide that they'd like to piggyback off our list. This page is neither intended nor endorsed as a generic "bad link list" for sites other than the ones run by the Wikimedia Foundation.
- As far as malware accusations go, can you point to a specific instance of that so a correction may be noted?
- Lastly, if you want to debate the matter and point out evidence of corruption and the like, the better place to do it would be to start a request for comment that way there's more room to do so and others may opine and assist in the decision-making. Please avoid doing so here further. Kylu 00:06, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
- We run 3 forums depending on the anime/manga topic. Considering every social community got a forum these days; why not list the Myspace.com, Facebook.com, Google.com or www.wikia.com ?
- It is just an additional feature. Yet, i can understand that German pages are not that easy to navigate on, if you are not common with the language.
- Regarding the contents. The pages are among the most well known topic pages in this genre and probably the oldest as well. I myself practically wrote dozens of introduction summeries that are widely used officially. The pages contain more informations and articles then you find on Wikipedia Germany.
- Yet, why i must explain, why "links would be appropriate for use on these projects". I never linked these projects on Wikipedia in the first place and neither there was any reason to blacklist these pages (again). We don´t want the pages labeld as malware pages thanks to www.wikimedia.com since its a "public blacklist" (again). That is the point.
- Why you don´t explain me, why any of these pages are blacklisted ? Then i might understand it as well.
- Our pages make probably over 10%-20% on total ".de" domains on your "blacklist". Not mentioning half of that other pages don´t even exist any more and the rest are well known malware agencies (or redirector url services). And again, we are talking about "fanpages for children" in our case.
- So you maybe understand, that i cannot agree with "its not bad link list". This is doing alot harm. Try to google "blacklist wikimedia" for global viewing on this.
- And yes, the Wikimedia Foundation is responsible if they don´t remove entries once they noticed about it. At least that says the law along with other responsibilities.
- I want our pages rightfully removed of this list. That´s all. Thanks.
I've said as well, these links were spammed, without any form of discussion. You start with a lot of accusations that it was listed wrongly, I can tell you, that it was added by an independent editor (NOT the one requesting it), and if I, as another independent editor, look at the case, then I think that since the people adding the links were NOT discussing, this was the only way of stopping it. Several attempts were made to discuss with the editors adding it, without response. If you think that we will then do other attempts to notify you, then you are wrong. The site was spammed, there was no response, so it goes on the blacklist. So unless you can come up with reasons why these links should be included on pages on Wikipedia (and not on 'it was wrongfully added'), this request is Declined. --Dirk Beetstra T C (en: U, T) 11:11, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

COIBot down up
Due to power issues, the box that is running a.o. COIBot and the linkwatchers has been taken down until the power issues have been resolved. This means that there is a gap from last Saturday until that moment in the link-addition database, and that COIBot will not refresh any reports. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. --Dirk Beetstra T C (en: U, T) 08:17, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
- Update
- The database repair has completed.
I'd like to say that COIBot and the linkwatchers are running normally, and reports are available again, but looking at Special:Contributions/COIBot, I'm not sure that's the case. I may try to restart the bots, or get Beetstra to look at this.COIBot etc is now back to normal. - For the future, we're doing several things to increase reliability:
We will be using storage with better crash recovery characteristics. In the event of a crash, recovery will be quicker.- We will be replicating the database to provide a read-only copy for web access. Aside from hopefully providing a useful interface to the data, this serves as a backup guarding against most forms of failure, and helps reduce load on the master server.
We will be doing periodic database backups. In the event of a catastrophic crash or human error where recovery from the slave is not possible, we can recover from backup.- We will be setting up a backup version of COIBot (etc). In the event of server failure, the bots can run from another server, writing to what was previously the slave until master recovery is complete. Replicate the intervening changes back to master and you're golden.

Another method of finding knockoff domains
In a rare instance where current copyright laws are actually useful, online takedown notices can be a fast way of finding Chinese knockoff spam domains. I found about 300 domains in 15 minutes by searching Google for "site:chillingeffects.org ugg google counterfeit" with very few duplicates. Now to find out whether these domains were spammed, the current state of the linkwatchers (i.e. dead) suggests this will take a while. There is no guarantee that said domains are related.
