It seems that a new editor has created a small army of socks in order to spam links to the website of Serif Books. Most have made only a few edits. Some possibly useful content has also been added, but the intention seems to be promotional. Examples:
 * to http://serifbooks.co.uk
 * to http://serifbooks.co.uk
 * to http://serifbooks.co.uk
 * to http://serifbooks.co.uk
 * to http://serifbooks.co.uk

It does not seem to me particularly likely that, created 2 February 2012, is part of this; but Ruthirwin1 also to http://serifbooks.co.uk on a number of occasions.
