AI-generated news websites spammed across articles of defunct newspapers. — Newslinger talk 19:45, 27 April 2025 (UTC)
Added to MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist. --— Newslinger talk 19:46, 27 April 2025 (UTC)
- @Newslinger, the brooklyneagle.com website is used by the Brooklyn Eagle#1990s–present version, a legitimate publication, and isn't like the spam websites mentioned above. Can I request that the blacklisting of that website be reconsidered? The website was already linked on the Brooklyn Eagle article before ShamanCapital added a spam link to that website, and it was used as a legitimate source on dozens of pages (including several WP:GAs and WP:FAs) long before the spammer edited the Brooklyn Eagle article, whereas none of these other websites are linked-to from anywhere on Wikipedia. – Epicgenius (talk) 01:41, 24 May 2025 (UTC)
- @Epicgenius: Thank you for catching that, and I apologize for the oversight. I've removed brooklyneagle.com from the spam blacklist in Special:Diff/1291917457. — Newslinger talk 05:27, 24 May 2025 (UTC)
