The Defender of the Wiki Barnstar Good work keeping the spamvertisements off the wiki. — Mar. 29, '06 [21:52] <freakofnurxture|talk>

I've noticed that you have caught some of today's spam at Sildenafil. Would you mind listing the offending website at the sitewide spam blacklist? I tried, but for some reason my IP address is blocked from editing that site. Thanks. --Ed (Edgar181) 14:58, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why are you deleting hundreds and hundreds of links? Oh nevermind, it looks like what you are doing is legit.Travb 08:13, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am helping to remove external link spam from Wikipedia. Please check my edit history to see how many hundred spam links I have removed, and how few (if any) mistakes I have made. When I saw someone inserting the same link throughout lots of articles, linking to a store selling a video, I assumed it was link spam. Actually I'm still not convinced otherwise, but if you think I made a mistake with these six edits, that's fine. -- Linkspamremover 08:46, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I was wrong, you were right, you can revert my edits.Travb 06:28, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep up the good work. You might want to consider adding repeat offenders that ignore warnings to my linkspam watchlist --GraemeL ^(talk) 15:46, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why is my relevant information being deleted? --User:AltFree

Why are you deleting my link Linkspamremover? You've messaged me that I should add content instead of linking to my personal page. My personal page isn't even a commerical website, unlike some of the other links on this page like Kaneesha.com or massala.com or sareeonline.com. How come you let those be, and delete mine? —This unsigned comment was added by 72.79.90.253 (talk • contribs) .

I was crosschecking links for the Grantville Gazette eMagazines which are later released both as cannonical ebooks and later published works in the SF 1632 series , when I noted your Bot is constantly making the same edit in the ebook article. I'm rearranging the commonly pasted spam line, as the reference is certainly correctly placed in this article under the eBook Devices heading... which is where your Bot is killing the reference. I'd keep it on patrol however, as the spam form is certainly marketing POV hype.

On your last (Answer seeking clarification), I'm in the middle of a full article section add on the subject article ebooks (1st preview since your post). I infact, haven't picked up the sony related marketing phrase I was going to add, so since you aren't a Bot, I'll just leave you with the advice intended: what I saw deleted in the history, looks to be something that should be kept under devices, albeit massaged so that it is not marketing hype.

• Unless, of course, in my humble ignorance of devices it has already been so disposed of. I would have cross checked before finishing the main business at hand.
• Give me a few more minutes to finish up (I'm slowish), and if you accept email, I'll alert you both ways that I'm clear. Then you can vet my edit and perhaps give me some advice on related matters. I prefer the email for these little notifications as I get an audible beep which doesn't require backing up to the last preview or 'Yet another' Wiki browser window to service (At the moment, I sit with 15 such on my taskbar, so not opening another helps keep them straight, for which, I need all the help I can get!)
• Apparently you aren't accepting email. I've duly registered mine, and it's listed on my talk top.

Okay, I'm out. Had some trouble locating links. If you're an admin, please speedy move eMagazines to eMagazine (singular), which will tidy up three of the redlinks. I'll section edit to clear the rest once I get a few other windows closed.

What do you think - I thought the Baen approach noteworthy, but didn't think it belongs higher as it contrasts this way with the preceding discussions of the termoils, whereas this way, it doesn't directly collide with them. There are rumbles that Baen's footsteps are being followed by some of the rest of that genre's publishers. So, this is perhaps the new standard as well. Time will tell! <G>

• • I see I'm not the only one confused as to whether you are a Bot! Doing something on the user page seems a good thought. I'm taking the day off from the computer and wiki, so I'll look at your last in detail tomarow some time. I just printed the guideline you referenced. I'm a little off my normal patrol in my current WikiAtivity (Center of Focus), but that's as it was most neglected. I need to get a thankyou (why I'm here at all) email off, and go back to my rest. ttfn I'll get back on the rest after me rest! FrankB 00:46, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also confused about the removal of links that point to extremely relevant content pages. I noticed that other listed links point to similar pages that don't feature as informative content.

I also noticed that some sites have links on tons of Wiki pages. What contract must they have to do that?

• In the case of X-Men 3, you have a link to a site that only has a link to the trailer. I linked to a page that features every update, news report, headline, trailer, clip and whatever other media revolving around the film.

I have been placing relevant links back to my website and you have been deleting them. They have been relevant to the topic and are not commercial. We do have simple advertisements, but we are not bombarding our visitors with ads. We are also providing a service that is quite useful. We are trying to grow the site and have plenty of upgrades in content planned in the near future. —This unsigned comment was added by Ricardo1064 (talk • contribs) .

This ↑ appears to have been your first ever edit. More information might help. Also, come back after you have read WP:EL and WP:SPAM. Links added to your own website, or for your own promotional benefit, or links added to sites whose main purpose is to promote a service, will not usually be entertained. -- Linkspamremover 18:08, 2 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have been linking to content that is relevant on every single topic. If the information were not pertinent I would not be wasting my time. I understand the poicly on commercial websites, but this is a link back to an informational website. In the WP:EL in the "What should be linked to" section rules 5 and 6 apply to what I am trying to put on the page. —This unsigned comment was added by Ricardo1064 (talk • contribs) .

You still haven't mentioned which links you are talking about. -- Linkspamremover 00:12, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I have a question. Is this a bot which is running, a role account, or simply just a Wikipedian using a username dedicated to performing one task? As this account seems to be performing just one kind of action, could you put some information on the user page detailing what you are doing? Thanks, Talrias (t | e | c) 22:04, 2 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I've blocked this account for 3 hours pending some information from the account owner. I suspect this is a bot, and it's not one which has been given permission to run on Wikipedia:Bots. Could we get some more information here? Talrias (t | e | c) 01:58, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
