Link spam violations

I don't know how to properly report this stuff, but ip 216.73.161.196 and 66.65.142.43 are both spamming the T206 and Goudey articles. You can see the edit history on both those articles. 71.56.118.64 (talk) 22:26, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the report! I've warned the spammer -- please let me know if this persists.

I would appreciate another user taking a look at these. As a member of WP:SHIPS (editing primarily commercial shipping articles), I may be too involved with the subject. I do not work in the cruise industry, but I have a personal interest in the subject.
To me, this user appears to be adding links to a community forum of personal reviews and photos of multiple cruise ships (some press releases too, but where possible those should be linked directly from the cruise line's website). The user is also doing some useful cleanup to several articles at the same time - so it's a mix of activity.
I've notified the user; but would appreciate someone else taking a look as well. --- Barek (talkcontribs) - 00:58, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

WikiBlame - Something to add to the toolbox

URL: http://wikipedia.ramselehof.de/wikiblame.php

Useful for finding out who added a particular external link and when. Whack in the article name and the external link description and it gives you the diff(s) of the link addition. You might have to increase the number of revisions to find the addition. Pick "interpolated" search method for faster results. MER-C 12:13, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks -- that's really handy! --A. B. (talkcontribs) 03:57, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

This is probably the biggest linkfarm I have ever seen - 85 links. A quick checkup of the rest of the links indicate that they should be OK. MER-C 13:13, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

We have 38 of these links, most of them old.
I left a note at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Mountains#tierrawiki.org links asking whether that WikiProject found them useful.
tierrawiki.org now redirects to trailguru.com.
