Merge with Social networking spam

Should this be merged with social networking spam? They seem to cover the same topic. JitteryOwl (talk) 22:06, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Did a review of both pages, and determined a merge was necessary. Because social spam is the more general topic, which social networking spam is a subset of, I copied over the relavent information from the social networking spam page, that hadn't yet been covered, and merged them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jbabiarz (talk • contribs) 18:54, 12 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to 3 external links on Social spam. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

N An editor has determined that the edit contains an error somewhere. Please follow the instructions below and mark the |checked= to true

If you have discovered URLs which were erroneously considered dead by the bot, you can report them with this tool.
If you found an error with any archives or the URLs themselves, you can fix them with this tool.
