the only edits of this user have so far consisted in pasting approximately the same text into Pax Americana, History of United States imperialism, Superpower and Imperialism:

Books
 * The USA - World Power Number One: Dissenting Views on Imperialism, by Karl Held and Audrey Hill (GegenStandpunkt Publishers)

External links
 * Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism, by Vladimir Lenin		* Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism, by Vladimir Lenin
 * American power and its use: A) The Global Management of Force, B) Global Capitalism (Imperialism in 2000)

(he/she is playing the same game at de.wikipedia, as some anonymous ips do.)

I have removed the links because they were broken (404) in the first place. As for the book, I haven't been able to find its ISBN or google hits for it outside gegenstandpunkt.com (and wp). there seems to have been an (older?) version of it from a different publisher ("resultate"), which is out of print. published 1987, so I assumed it is severely outdated anyway - also the impression one gets by viewing its table of content on the (linked) gegenstandpunkte.com page. the only content there is a sample chapter on "American Food, Morality and Science" which is not particularly relevant here.

Note that I'm not taking issue with the (rather extreme, marxist) POV of gegenstandpunkt.com here, but with the careless, spam-like way in which these links were inserted.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Linkboy. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Linkboy~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 01:09, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
