Domain Authority 2.0[edit]

Hi, there is recent chatter about an overhaul to Domain Authority. I came across an article from Moz, where it says version 2.0 is coming out. Web address: moz.com/blog/new-domain-authority
Now I understand 'version 2.0' is just for naming, however what puzzles me is they make a statement that Moz is the company responsible for the Domain Authority algorithm. No where else on the internet can I find where Domain Authority originated from. As a comparison, it appears PageRank originated from Google.
Can anyone shed any light on this? If this is the case, why isn't this mentioned on the Wikipedia page? It is important for people to know if Domain Authority is a metric created by a commercial company. (Iamthomas nine (talk) 02:13, 6 February 2019 (UTC))[reply]

Persistent vandalism/promo edits?[edit]

Nearly every day, it seems, someone tries to put a backlink into this article so search engines will see it. Granted, Pending Changes stops the promo edits from being seen by most users, but does it prevent search engines from seeing them? I'm going to try to find out, but thought I'd mention it here.

Regardless, though, there is enough disruptive promo editing going on that I'm thinking about requesting semi-protection (confirmed users only), to keep from wasting pending-changes reviewers' time. Thoughts, anyone? — UncleBubba ^{( T @ C )} 16:19, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@UncleBubba: You're right, I think a semi-protection request is a good idea. Since your post here, two more backlink additions have been reverted. —Bruce1ee^talk 11:36, 28 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Request posted here: [1] (and here: [2], because I kinda overstated the frequency of occurrence). Let's see what happens. — UncleBubba ^{( T @ C )} 13:26, 28 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
