qihua.host

Can links to "qihua.host" be caught by a filter? This is the at least second time in recent months that we've seen this type of redirection to a subdomain there. —[AlanM1(talk)]— 09:43, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

This must be en SEO expert's dream: LOTS of backlinks from Wikipedia. At Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#climate-data.org, the site was judged not to be a reliable source. There's no meaningful info on where the data were sourced or the methods used for analysis. Still, en.wp alone has more than 1000 links to climate-data.org, mostly as references. The owner of climate-data.org is an SEO expert, not a climate expert. --Sitacuisses (talk) 15:37, 9 February 2019 (UTC)

@Sitacuisses: Many of the links are of the type as in Anah#Climate (plain link to the top domain, not specific to the applicable data). As there are many, I would suggest that all are replaced with '{{fact}}' before we pull the trigger on blacklisting this. --Dirk Beetstra T C 10:53, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

It's obvious that one or more people are using multiple accounts to add information from and links to ncsasports.org (ncsasports.org: Linksearch en (insource) - meta - de - fr - simple - wikt:en - wikt:fr • Spamcheck • MER-C X-wiki • gs • Reports: Links on en - COIBot - COIBot-Local • Discussions: tracked - advanced - RSN • COIBot-Link, Local, & XWiki Reports - Wikipedia: en - fr - de • Google: search • meta • Domain: domaintools • AboutUs.com ) to U.S. college and university articles.

2016 page at WD, for which deletion requested, and the page now deleted at gagWP. Not worth pursuing outside of that for a page of that age. — billinghurst sDrewth 03:19, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
