Description
Two links to hangingon.org seem to be parasites at http://docs.jquery.com/How_jQuery_Works#Callback_and_Functions
(it is really not easy to contact the JQuery team for that : no contact page, no e-mail. Needed to create a Trac account)

Yes, the links were removed. ... but they came again at the same URL.
This time I offer you a screenshot, checked on two different browsers.

It doesn't have anything to do with trust; I simply don't see any spam links on my system. I have attached the html of the page and a screen shot corresponding to the same area you show. So, what is the difference between our two setups? I have Firefox 3.6 on Windows 7 x64, the only browser plugin present is Firebug.
I would be interested to see if the spam links are being sent down by the wiki or added on the client side; a tool like Fiddler or Wireshark can show what is actually going over the wire.
The reason I close these tickets is so that when you reopen them I see the new activity on the timeline. Otherwise your ticket is likely to be lost.
Please follow the bug reporting guidlines and use jsFiddle when providing test cases and demonstrations instead of pasting the code in the ticket.

I don't see any problematic links when I view the source. You might want to check with a second or third browser to see if perhaps it's due to a spammy toolbar.
