 * Suspected sockpuppets






 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

The user persistently adds controversial links to education articles. These links appear like the official sites, but are not. Links at the sites go to his company, bestcollegeschina. For example:


 * Official site and hxxp://www.nanchanguniversity.com/

We've asked him to stop in the past, but he seems to reappear with another username and continues. We just want him to stop. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 06:33, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

This is a long-term problem, three years of attempted promotion. The articles of interest should be indefinitely semi-protected, I should think, and the Pakistani IP 119.154.1xx.xx should be range-blocked as a proxy. Binksternet (talk) 07:25, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * The named accounts look like ducks. Additionally recommend that the spammed urls are recommended for blacklisting which would curtail his future efforts. I will notify one of the admins in that area. ⋙–Berean–Hunter—►  22:38, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Agreed these are socks or meats spamming, either way, blocked and tagged. Only the latest IP blocked due to no activity. Please relist if new activity and notify my talkpage. -- DQ  (ʞlɐʇ)  21:57, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
