Please see the results of the UserCompare tool.
 * Evidence

Lookingheart has made identical edits as the IPs have. The edits being made are to the External Link section of Rainbow Gathering and Rainbow Family. These edits are used to promote his non-notable camping trip and hitchhiking site. Per previous lengthy discussion, consensus and policy (WP:N, WP:V, WP:RS) it was decided his personal sites would not be included on the EL section. This, however, has not stopped him from repeatedly adding them. He even lists those ELs on his userpage- the very same ones which are being added to the articles.

 * Would not RFCU be a better venue for this? Going by the UserCompare tool gives us a good idea, but since the IPs are in different ranges and of different ages it might be better to check. If you were to list, I'd list under Code G. Rudget  (Help?) 17:05, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Probably the best way to handle this is semi-protect the article Rainbow Family for two weeks and notify the user that consensus has developed not to add this links, and he will be blocked if he adds them again. I'll check the page history to see how many legitimate anon edits it tends to get before I report to WP:RFPP. Shalom (Hello • Peace) 04:10, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Conclusions

Remind the user that adding spam links, whether when logged in or out, is unacceptable. At present there haven't been contributions, whether under the account or an IP, since the warnings were issued. No action will be taken at this stage, but if the user comes back and continues (under this or any other account or IP) then deal with it accordingly (warnings, and report to WP:AIV). Maybe consider adding the link to the spam blacklist. GBT/C 11:20, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
