This is a legitimate Arabic-language website that is basically the same as amazon.com. I just helped a newbie from the Arabic Wikipedia write the article, however in the process, I noticed a number of articles where newbies and other editors had used a link to a book listing there as a reference to support claims made in the article.

IP user replacing links to the Simplified Technical English standard with links to shufra.com, a company that sells STE services. This is infrequent enough that semi-protection would not be warranted. Several editors, myself included, have reverted these adds going back months. We have tried to engage the user on the Talk Page (q.v. link above), who denies being affiliated with the company. User did not respond to the COI/N complaint (q.v. link above) resulting in a 1-week semi of the article. As the last addition of this link did not get caught for a couple weeks due to the holidays, I feel XLinxBot's attention is warranted here. Thanks! ArakunemTalk 17:29, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

Proposing removal of \bpatch.com\b from the revertlist. This site may have been used by spammers, but I think it's a legitimate news site that can reasonably be used as sourcing. Some XLinkBot reversions that I think shouldn't have been performed:
If the motivation for this rule is to prohibit from people adding Patch.com links indiscriminately to "External links" sections as in [18], [19] or [20], perhaps the rule could be changed to \bpatch.com/[^a] since it appears that any legitimate use of the site to provide a reference will be at *.patch.com/articles/...

Troubleshooting and problems
not reverting standardsdirect.org?
I added this to the revert list yesterday.[21]
Today an IP added this link back, but XLinkBot did not revert it.[22]
Did I format something incorrectly? --A. B. (talk • contribs) 16:07, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
- Nope, the bot does not revert 'undo' and similar reverts. --Dirk Beetstra T C 12:10, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
wrong syntax
Hi!
I don't know, what was tried to repair here, but e.g. the regexp
[a-z][0-9]+\.photobucket\.com\/albums\/.*\.[jpg|jpeg|gif|png|svg]
is equivalent to
[a-z][0-9]+\.photobucket\.com\/albums\/.*\.[efgijnpsv|]
so I guess, you wanted
[a-z][0-9]+\.photobucket\.com\/albums\/.*\.(?:jpg|jpeg|gif|png|svg)

regexp speed-up
I did some work on the list. The result is ready for copy&paste: user:lustiger_seth/sbl_XLinkBot_revlist.
What I did:
- searched for /\\[^.b?]/ and similar things and repaired them
- deleted redundant regexps
- grouped regexps like "foobarbaz" and "fooquux" to "foo(?:barbaz|quux)"
The list got about 10% shorter. -- seth (talk) 15:22, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Matching based on word boundaries?
I noticed that most of these entries start with \b, which isn't exactly a reliable test; if someone were to post a link on a Wiki page to a blog permalink, for example, with the blacklisted URL in it, it would be removed.
For example:
The rule: \byoutube\.com
Matches: http://www.example.com/blog/youtube.com_imposes_new_age_restrictions/
We should really be matching based on a more traditional URL scheme. Yonisyuumei (talk) 20:37, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
- This will not happen very often, and the blacklists will have the same problem. And pretty difficult to solve. --Dirk Beetstra T C 09:28, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
- Couldn't the regex just check for no additional slashes between the "//" and the "youtube.com"? I know how to do it in Python
re.compile(r'//[^/]*youtube\.com')
, but I'm not as familiar with Perl. --Damian Yerrick (talk | stalk) 22:08, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi.
Help with Regex
I was trying to get something done with AWB and needed some help with Regex. Would you or someone you know be able to help me with this? Cheers

Why are groups.yahoo.com automatically reverted but not groups.google.com
Just curious. Ottawahitech (talk) 00:30, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
- I am sorry to keep harping on this same issue - however, it does appear that Google Groups are given preferential treatment over Yahoo Groups. For example, [this section] which uses two external links to Google Groups has been allowed, while links to similar Yahoo Groups are not:
There is nothing disallowed here, and I am afraid that it is just a matter of
- I am afraid I don't understand your explanation - you have referred me to a page discussing spam which is not what I was asking about. However, I am glad I did get your attention. Ottawahitech (talk) 13:20, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
Well .. easy. You ask, "why is groups.yahoo.com automatically reverted but not groups.google.com?". We noticed that groups.yahoo.com was spammed, we may not have noticed that groups.google.com was spammed. There is no malice in the fact that something is reverted and something else not .. that has NOTHING to do with preference for one site, it is a
Your example is the article
I take it from your explanation that you work for Yahoo? --Dirk Beetstra T C 15:06, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
- No I don't work for Yahoo :-) I have been a member of Yahoo! Groups since ~2002 and have seen some excellent content posted there over the years. I am also a long time member of Google Groups. So no, I don't see why Wikipedia automatically reverts links to YG but not links to GG. The quality of the content has more to do with the authour/ Group moderators, than with whether it is YG or GG. Just my $.02 Ottawahitech (talk) 10:21, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
That's what I said, maybe we have not noticed yet that google groups site was abused or spammed, while we have seen it of yahoo groups. There has been a recent discussion on the moderation of these sites, and that varies greatly. Some are really properly moderated, most are just moderated to remove unrelated post (or profanity etc.) but for the rest anyone can say anything there, some are completely crap. Such sites still fail
]- I did not understand your last sentence, and I am not familar wtih xlinkbot reverts. Are you saying we can override these reverts? Ottawahitech (talk) 04:58, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
Yes, undo the revert, or re-do the revert immediately after the bot. Or autoconfirmed editors can add the link. This is not the MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist. --Dirk Beetstra T C 06:39, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
