I was just on Meta a few mins ago, renewing my sysop status when I noticed the following being requested at Talk:Spam blacklist;

QUOTE

shankbone.org

Links to this blog are being inserted by David Shankbone, the owner of the blog, to promote it. For every image David uploads to Wikimedia Commons, he adds a link to his blog; in other words, he is a shameless self-promoter who wants to increase the number of visitors to his blog and its PageRank. This should be added to the spam blacklist.

See this: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...it=500&offset=0
...and this:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:...g.shankbone.org (1166 pages)
http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?t...ael+Lucas&go=Go (Note that he is also part of an effort to promote pornographer Michael Lucas, who he knows in real life, and his "works".)

It should be interesting to see how this pans out on Meta (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/blink.gif) (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/evilgrin.gif)

He contributed some photos. He included a link back to the his website on each page. His website has no ads or content that would be found objectionable. This is done for hundreds of other photo contributors without controversy.

So what's the problem?
