Each of the 59.93.xxx.xxx IPs added references to articles about breeds of dogs, linking the website trainpetdog.com. In each case, the reference was first in the article and the website name was bolded, giving the impression of a "link placement" campaign. Soon afterward, User:Dogtrainernyc replaced the external links section in each article with a single DMOZ search, thus giving even more prominence to the added link. User:Dogtrainernyc inserted a reference to trainpetdog.com here. See also [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive469#User_replacing_all_external_links_with_single_link_to_DMOZ_category. this ANI thread]. I make no claims about the accuracy of the information, but please see http://nancyrichards.org/ with regard to this case and the involved site. Thanks.

Final warned user. Note the IPs are probably dynamic. Much of this has gone stale. — Rlevse  •  Talk  • 21:43, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
