Cross-wiki spammers:
 * el:User:PlusBot

Only mainspace contributions consist of spamming the domain



... in a somewhat deceptive manner. Also, user pages and user talk pages are highly similar.

Checkuser requested because the spammed domain is very similar to



... being one of many domains blacklisted through the requests made at MediaWiki talk:Spam-blacklist/archives/May 2011 and m:Talk:Spam blacklist/Archives/2011-05. This spammer has a history of massive cross-wiki sockpuppetry. In addition to the English Wikipedia, please organize a checkuser on all major Wikipedias via checkuser-l. Please also globally block the IPs, if possible.

Global blacklisting requested at m:Talk:Spam blacklist. MER-C 10:09, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

More than likely this is a known crosswiki spammer. See Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of Novotarija. Jafeluv (talk) 10:33, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * As a technical point, checkusers require diffs in the presentation of evidence and it increases the chances that they will accept the case. I've taken the liberty of helping MER-C with the evidence formatting by supplying the diffs:


 * Gluvmal's spam


 * Nemmali's spam


 * Nagluvos' spam


 * Zlatkapic's spam


 * Dacarodjos' spam


 * Staniaut's spam


 * All are clearly attempting to spam the same links. Endorsing to check the extent of account abuse. ⋙–Berean–Hunter—►  16:31, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

Everyone except are ✅ matches to each other. They are all editing from open proxies which I've blocked. Nemmali was editing from a different OP. They have all been locked by the a steward and I have also added the link to the spam-blacklist. No further administrative action needed at this time. Marking for close.
