Transparently obvious socking to add this url, but only two accounts and only added twice, so probably nothing doing at the moment. Still, worth noting here as an aide memoire to keep an eye on it. • a frantic turtle 🐢 10:36, 7 March 2026 (UTC)
- @A Frantic Turtle interestingly, those two accounts are completely unrelated from a technical perspective but there's no way it's a coincidence. I've indef'd both. As you say, worth having this in the archive in case we see the domain again but I'm not inclined to block/blacklist it at this point. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 16:10, 8 March 2026 (UTC)

Repeated in-text and draft spam, possible block evasion. See spamcheck. Could be worth blacklisting? Pahunkat (talk) 13:21, 9 March 2026 (UTC)

Link spamming reported on WP:AIV by Annh07. — Newslinger talk 09:45, 13 March 2026 (UTC)
Added to WP:BED. — Newslinger talk 09:47, 13 March 2026 (UTC)- {{Checkuser needed}}. Would a checkuser please scan for associated accounts? Noting that Aryansrv (likely stale) also added inappropriate links to other websites. Courtesy ping to HJ Mitchell. — Newslinger talk 10:06, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

User:SteppeEditor76 continual WP:CITESPAM
SteppeEditor76 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · blacklist hits · Edit filter search · what links to user page · count · COIBot · Spamcheck · blacklist hits · user page logs · x-wiki · status · Google · StopForumSpam)
User:SteppeEditor76 is continually CITESPAMing primary source research papers by the same authors, and at times the same papers across multiple articles with a small bit of verbiage added to each cite.
Brought to the editor's attention here.
Overland is a author in every cite and I see also Blankenship, so may be promotional/COI adds by one of these authors. Fountains of Bryn Mawr (talk) 14:05, 14 March 2026 (UTC)
Blocked SteppeEditor76 indefinitely. Thank you for reporting this. — Newslinger talk 14:50, 14 March 2026 (UTC)
User:HuetteyWaa persistent link spamming
- HuetteyWaa (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) – Persistent link spamming of "WahlenWeltWeit" across multiple election articles.

Not ready for us to do anything about this link to a training course in Dubai yet, but since the user resorted to socking to continue to add it to Chartered Institute of Procurement & Supply it seems worth noting it here for the archives in case it gets worse in future. • a frantic turtle 🐢 13:28, 16 March 2026 (UTC)
- Noting for the record that Flomy-786 (talk · contribs) returned today and was blocked for spamming the link again. • a frantic turtle 🐢 12:35, 18 March 2026 (UTC)
- @A Frantic Turtle Apologies for the slow reply. The two accounts are
Confirmed/
Technically indistinguishable. I've blocked both of them and the IP they shared. I'm not inclined to do anything else unless they come back. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 20:23, 20 March 2026 (UTC)

Not sure if it's worth blacklisting these yet, but some blocks and maybe a CU would be helpful. It's my first time on WPSPAM so let me know if there's anything else I should do :) lp0 on fire () 10:19, 21 March 2026 (UTC)
- Actually, better idea: can we just blacklist everything ending in .bet? It's probably all online gambling spam and the few legitimate domains can be whitelisted. lp0 on fire () 11:05, 21 March 2026 (UTC)

- Looking a bit further, we also have Seomaster234 and CPMSEO, both now blocked, and a few temporary accounts. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 16:25, 21 March 2026 (UTC)
- @Lp0 on fire I've added mm2.bet to WP:BED and requested global blacklisting for redeagle.tech because that one has also been spammed on the Spanish Wikipedia. As far as I can tell, all registered involved are blocked, as are the underlying IPs of the temporary accounts. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 19:20, 21 March 2026 (UTC)
- @HJ Mitchell: Thanks. Thoughts on blacklisting all of .bet, like we do for .xyz? lp0 on fire () 19:36, 21 March 2026 (UTC)
- Personally I'm all for it based on anecdotal evidence but we probably need some actual data before blacklisting a whole TLD. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 20:17, 21 March 2026 (UTC)
