The spamming began on 23 Jan, but increased substantially just today, 25 Jan. All but two of the accounts are SPAs. Brandi1926 had made one other, minor edit Sept'07. Imran anbu previously spammed a different link July 2008.
Looks like the editors are going through a medical dictionary, spamming every entry, because almost all the articles they've hit so far begin with "a".
Probably best for XLinkBot, because the domain might be considered a reliable source in some situations. --Ronz (talk) 18:09, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The domain is not a reliable source for medical or scientific articles, I'd recommend blacklisting it. Tim Vickers (talk) 23:19, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I've prepared for it being blacklisted by removing the links from this report and the one article where it still appeared. --Ronz (talk) 23:50, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Great! Thank you. Tim Vickers (talk) 00:07, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The new domains are now on XLinkBot, but if it continues this may have to go to the blacklist. Note, that for some domains there seems to be an, albeit small, X-Wiki aspect. --Dirk Beetstra T C 08:23, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

weird telus.net/findNChoose link

I don't think I could safely blacklist this without hurting the rest of telus.net links, or I'd do it myself. I've watched this subdomain of telus.net for a long time, and it really needs to be blacklisted.

It's disappointing that linkSearch doesn't match this properly. Hopefully someone can show me the trick with it.
