On the YPbPr page, the external link "View Component Video Cable" links to a sale on Monster component cables, and it doesn't seem to have any unique bearing on the article (particularly since there is already a picture of a component cable in the article). I would classify it as spam, but I would like a second opinion. There are also entries on Radar detector and Component Video. Tannermyoung (talk) 01:18, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
- Yep, definitely spam. I removed it and issued the editor a warning. ThemFromSpace 19:56, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

Accounts adding link to "Build A Solar Panel" article. While the user had also expanded text, they are also the source of the only other two uses of the virtualsecrets.com site within Wikipedia. All articles that the user has edited link to interests described in the "about" page for virtualsecrets.com - so a likely COI exists. --- Barek (talk) - 17:21, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
fluoridealert.org - blacklisting problem?[edit]

I recently removed this addition of fluoridealert.org, after discovering that the link is blacklisted. How was the link added if the blacklisting was in effect? How are the many articles that include the link being edited? I expect I'm overlooking something, but I can't figure what it might be. --Ronz (talk) 18:17, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
- It looks like a timing issue. The link was added to the article on Dec 19th @ 14:39, and not added to the blacklist until Dec 20th @ 01:12. --- Barek (talk) - 18:45, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
- I don't know about this particular link but there's been some very recent blatant spamming of the flouride action network. See [1] [2] [3]. I wouldn't be suprized if the account you're dealing with is related somehow. ThemFromSpace 19:40, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
- Blatant perhaps. But who by exactly?--Aspro (talk) 20:15, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

Currently 118 links in English Wikipedia. Was the blacklisting premature? --Ronz (talk) 20:27, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
- It looks like Rodhullandemu (talk · contribs) forgot to log the blacklisting at MediaWiki talk:Spam-blacklist/log#December 2010, so there's no link to a discussion or documentation for the blacklisting - and the edit summary for the addition states "add \bfluoridealert\.org\b for now"[4] - which suggests it may have been intended as a short-term block while it was looked into.
- Still, with no logging of reasons or links to discussions, a removal request would be likely to be approved fairly quickly (appropriate or not). I'll post to the blacklisting admin's talk page, asking for comment over here. --- Barek (talk) - 21:25, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
- Oops, my bad; I intended to return to review this once the IP vandal spamming WP:ANI with them had been sufficiently deterred. I saw User:Muzemike later added the links again, and presumed the issue dealt with. It was already past my bedtime. Facepalm. Rodhullandemu 21:33, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

This appears to be a sneaky spammer who adds external links until setting off the warning flags in the edit summaries then stops for a period of time before continuing the spam fest. Active Banana (bananaphone 02:11, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
Linked tools not working - toolserver user account expired[edit]
I posted this at Template talk:Link summary#Linked tools not working - toolserver user account expired, but haven't seen a reply - so trying here to get additional attention to the issue ...
Several links on the {{LinkSummary}} and {{LinkSummaryLive}} templates now generate the following error message:
403: User account expired
The page you requested is hosted by the Toolserver user eagle, whose account has expired. Toolserver user accounts are automatically expired if the user is inactive for over six months. To prevent stale pages remaining accessible, we automatically block requests to expired content.
If you think you are receiving this page in error, or you have a question, please contact the owner of this document: eagle [at] toolserver [dot] org. (Please do not contact Toolserver administrators about this problem, as we cannot fix it—only the Toolserver account owner may renew their account.)
Does anyone know how to contact the user? Or, does anyone have access to copy the tools to another account? Or, last option, do we need to remove those tools from the template if they can not be recovered. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 16:03, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
- Barek, are you referring to Eagle's toolserver account? If so I feel your pain... I used to use his crosswiki linksearch quite often but now that tool is no longer available. Would anyone know of a similar tool, or would anyone be able to resuscitate it? ThemFromSpace 22:44, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
- Yes, sorry, it's Eagle's toolserver account. On {{LinkSummary}}:

- There are three links that used that account: "Eagle's spam report search", both of the "Interwiki link search, big:" (20 and 50 - two variants of same report). It's the interwiki link search that has impacted me the most, I would use them frequently. --- Barek (talk) - 23:38, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
