Dealing with wiki spam

Hello,

Sorry to bother you on your userpage, but Hydrargyrum and I were wondering if we could get some help deleting spam pages. We have tried to mark many of the spam pages with the {{deleteme}} template and/or the Category:Requests for Deletion category so they can be easily found. Would it be possible to get a sysop such as yourself to delete some of these pages?

I'm not sure if there is a good way to prevent this spam from happening. I started a discussion on the Community Portal page in case that helps. Would it be possible to try any of those anti-spam measures? Do we use any of them already?

Thanks for your time! --Culix 07:00, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
