Vipul openly acknowledges paying for edits (overtly and covertly). Most links to this site seem to have been added by Vipul, the site owner, and he makes reference to SEO. This one's obvious as the site is not a
WP:RS , so I'm posting here for logging purposes and about to blacklist.

Starting a discussion here, after
Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)#Restricting Google book links from a specific publisher discussion (permanent link
[1] ).
Pinging editors involved in those discussions: @
Ugog Nizdast ,
Someguy1221 , and
Utcursch : . Is anyone of you aware of editors who have a more than healthy tendency (i.e. spam) to add these, or do they tend to be one-off good-faith additions?
The following books are published on Google books, but contain unattributed material from Wikipedia (see
Wikipedia:Potentially unreliable sources/Books that plagiarize Wikipedia for specific examples of copies). Referencing these is hence resulting in circular references, and the material is therefore hence not verifiable.
Specific links:

The regexes need to be crafted from 'books.google', followed by an 'id=<code>' to blacklist each specific book. --

Note that the URL can be books.google.* depending on the country (e.g. .com for the US, .ca for Canada, .co.in for India, .co.uk for the UK etc.)

Beetstra Per your note at the pump, the two specific examples I picked up from
WP:PUS are: id# VY1nTMBQ9vQC and id# zzbuJOC11BoC . The second one is included above but the first isn't. The first has been published many times by Gyan (and other publishers) and has multiple IDs I think. —

I think econlib.org needs to be removed. This is a legitimate, relatively prominent Economics blog where relatively prominent economists(
Sumner ,
Bryan Caplan ) discuss current issues in econ.

I have been watching these
predatory open access publishers for some months. New links keep being added, very often by users whose identities strongly suggest they are the authors of the papers. I think it is time to blacklist these ones due to repeated additions over an extended period, even though at east some of these additions are in good faith.

This looks like a scam. For a time they offered free website archiving, then later added a paywall so you can't access the content without donating money. This is nonsense, we have many free and open source archive sites such as archive.org and dozens more .. notice they used almost the same name to confuse people. The article
Floorball contains an example link archive-org.com/page/4261749/2014-07-11/
http://www.freeway.org/issue4/sports/floorball.htm . Please ping me if you need further input. --

A connected site is www.inarchive.com/ which lists dozens of domain names eg.archive-se.com, archive.by.com etc.. they are not all paywalled so I don't know what to make of it.

Can you assemble a complete list here please? Also any users who may be spamming it? It may also be an issue for the meta blacklist as these could be used to bypass other blacklists.

@
Green Cardamom : I agree with JzG, can you please compile a full list? I'd like to review the reports for more of them to see patterns. (I have disabled the links in this thread, in case we decide to blacklist).
@
JzG : Spamming here does not necessarily need to be the 'abuse'/misuse we try to block (though we would likely pull the trigger earlier). As the domains are similar to known genuine archiving sites, I guess many of these links get added in good faith. Meta-blacklisting may be prudent, especially if there is spamming. --

@
Catalina520 : not blacklisted locally,
Defer to
Global blacklist to request global removal (where you already raised it), or
Defer to
Whitelist to ask for local whitelisting of specific links. Note that this blog was mainly spammed by several ranges of IPs over a significant timespan, and the few (3?) genuine additions where all questionable in use as references- blogs do generally not pass our thresholds for reliable sourcing. I think this is rightfully blacklisted, and would suggest that you first show merit for specific links on specific pages through whitelisting. --
