Chemistry content farm

users:

Thought this was a single user issue, but now others have popped up. Sort of silly to deal with it through socking, the content almost looks legit, so using the blacklist seems like a great place to fix the issue. I haven't done it in probably a decade so I don't want to add it myself. tedder (talk) 16:03, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

Now that I'm finding a bunch of users, I'll file a sock report as well. tedder (talk) 16:07, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

Sabika321

Domains first spammed by Sabika321, which 'somehow' managed to get their account locked. After that, the spamming continued with proxies. I only picked a few IP's as a example, please see spamcheck for all of them. - XXBlackburnXx (talk) 19:12, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

elainecarroll.xyz

I was attempting to add a website link to the page Elaine Carroll, but was blocked because the website, www.elainecarroll.xyz, was flagged. I looked at the local and global lists and did not see this specific site listed on either. I assume there is a wider block on the .xyz TLD, but I'm not sure where the appropriate place to resolve this is as there seem to be multiple places to request exceptions/removals/overrides for these spam lists. – OdinintheNorth (talk) 17:58, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

The darkcastle.com link can be useful to Wikipedia as a reference for the activities of Dark Castle Entertainment.

The site was blocked in 2009 when it was a video gaming site that spammed Wikipedia. Back then it was not owned by or affiliated with Dark Castle Entertainment, but today it is a legitimate website owned by the company.
