[aciccarello] Interesting, that's the second florist site that's created a user page. The Canadian one still has their authorization_endpoint in their site header. I don't see one for the new Italian site.

#
[tantek] well that should be good enough to bump that to the top
#
aaronpk well that's suspicious
#
[aciccarello] I'm a little suspicious of those florist user pages. I'm wondering if it's spam related. Also found someone dropping the italian domain on this site https://defol.io/joonas-veelmaa-1
#
aaronpk have we become a high value spam target finally?
#
aaronpk "The best flower delivery websites in Italy" the site isn't even a flower delivery service, it's a list of other websites
#
gRegor we removed the last one, right?
#
aaronpk i don't remember
#
[aciccarello] The canadian one is still up
#
[aciccarello] https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?search=flower&title=Special%3ASearch&profile=all&fulltext=1
#
[aciccarello] Just the two it seems like
#
[tantek] are they really gaming getting included in our newsletter? that seems very specific
#
gRegor Same IP for both sites
#
aaronpk oh
#
[tantek] well that's quite suspicious then, enough to delete and ask them to join chat instead
#
aaronpk probably looking for SEO backlink juice, not newsletter
#
gRegor Also linkbacks from indieweb.org, probably that more than the newsletter
#
gRegor jinx
#
aaronpk but wow the actually carefully crafted profile text is a level of effort i was not expecting
#
aaronpk yeah if both sites are the same IP that is suspicious enough to delete IMO
#
tantek.com deleted /User:Flowerdeliveryitaly.it "appears to be spam link from same IP as prior spam. Hey Carlo if you're legit IndieWeb, please sign-in with your personal site instead, and join us in chat: see [[discuss]] for instructions"
#
[tantek] there we go
#
gRegor I forget the name but there was also a new User page from someone who was advertising linkback services like that, I think in the last year? Wonder if it's that person.
#
aaronpk 👍
#
[tantek] wikify << Please sign-in with your personal site, not your startup company's site, or your personal business site regardless of what the business is. User pages created for organizations, startups, or other businesses are likely to be deleted.
#
Loqi ok, I added "Please sign-in with your personal site, not your startup company's site, or your personal business site regardless of what the business is. User pages created for organizations, startups, or other businesses are likely to be deleted." to the "See Also" section of /wikifying https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=93425&oldid=92851
#
[tantek] ^ feel free to improve, copy edit, incorporate into where it should go

gRegor looks good, could use some more flowers though ;)
#

#
aaronpk What is a flower?
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "flower" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "flower is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
aaronpk What is a garden?
#
Loqi garden is a place for deliberate growing of plants, decorative or for eating, that are sometimes the primary subject of IndieWeb posts, and is an area of exploration for more structured posts around planting, plant growth, flowering, bearing fruit etc https://indieweb.org/garden
