 * The deleted contributions show a strong crossover between the two accounts. I've blocked the sock account and left a warning for the main account. Mike V  •  Talk  20:12, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

Videoder spams with articles about Videoder, according to the text "Application Published And Made BY @Team Decent Nil For more help Contact Decent Nil - Decentnil@outlook.com". Decentnil has created and edited Videoder as has the user Videoder. Note that Decentnil has been warned (level 4) before. Sjö (talk) 10:11, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

I'm adding the below accounts. Some have been blocked per WP:DUCK but I'm listing all of these just so they're all on this SPI. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   10:35, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

 * I've indef'd Videoder for spam. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   10:30, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
 * It also looks like there are more accounts as well. I'll add them. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   10:33, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
 * So far these appear to be the only ones. It does appear to be a pretty obvious WP:DUCK scenario. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   10:39, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I've tagged the ones that have been blocked. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   10:41, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

Most of this has been adroitly handled by. I've now indeffed any unblocked accounts, including the master, and tagged anything that needed tagging. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:35, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

Hijacked the article 5Zic for his usual autobiographical junk. Bazj (talk) 14:34, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
 * added IPs involved in the vandalism of the article, all promoting Decentnil. Bazj (talk) 14:38, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
 * and 115.245.130.231 for this. Bazj (talk) 15:07, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
 * and 101.62.172.190 for this. *sigh* Bazj (talk) 15:14, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

An aside: He's linked to his product on GooglePlay (play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.messenger.nileshkumar&hl=en) a messenger. Is it possible he's using it to hijack his users' IPs for vandalism? His high use of IPs on this bout of vandalism is a departure for him. Bazj (talk) 15:26, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

 * We have a repeat offender who in addition to trying to add the above link has tried to link his Google app link as mentioned by Bazj above. Spam templates break on the latter so I wasn't able to find anything there. Your analysis would be good to have here.
 * Indeffing above account and blocking all IPs for 2 weeks. Please leave open for MER-C's input.


 * Are you going to answer here or may I close this case?  Vanjagenije  (talk)  09:46, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Pings are notoriously wonky in SPIs, so I've left MER-C a TB. ☺ ·   Salvidrim!   ·  &#9993;  22:19, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Blacklisted the strings decentnil and com.messenger.nileshkumar. This should get all the social profiles and the Google Play app as well as the blogs and his website. In the future, a search for MER-C 01:35, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
