September 2022[edit]

Hello, I'm Doug Weller. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Giant, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Doug Weller talk 12:25, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

April 2023[edit]

This is your only warning; if you use Wikipedia for soapboxing, promotion or advertising again, as you did at Giant, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Promotional edits for Brice Stratford spam project / probable sock drawer. - CorbieVreccan ^☊ ☼ 20:23, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I see your pattern is to edit up till warnings / reversions max out, or people start to get suspicious, and then you create a new account and wash, rinse, repeat, avoiding overlaps. So you may not use this account again. But looking back over the amount of spamming and disruption you did, I'm starting to block these SPAs on principle, in case you use them as sleepers. The pattern of abuse is clear and this needs a "paper" trail. - CorbieVreccan ^☊ ☼ 20:44, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Quack[edit]

Admins and other Wikipedians in good standing, see:

Author they were spamming for's COI account that has same editing pattern, suspected sockmaster:

BriceStratford (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

(Hasn't edited in years, leaning towards blocking on principle)

Recent accounts:

Craneshore (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) - spam account. Indeffed.
Dennyala (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) - this account created and began identical spam edits after Craneshore was warned about spamming.
Jonto95 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) - created some of the articles those accounts were spamming, same editing patterns, specifically reinstated iffy content removed by editors in good standing as promotional, unreliably sourced, and possible hoaxes.
Cwhillubbyy (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) - created Brice Stratford BLP for author they are spamming for.

April 2023[edit]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for adding spam links. Persistent spammers will have their websites blacklisted from Wikipedia and potentially penalized by search engines.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. - CorbieVreccan ^☊ ☼ 20:47, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
