bmwdean.com
This personal website has been repeatedly spammed by Jeffrey M Dean and his various sock puppet articles. When he was unblocked it was on strict condition that he didn't push his own website, but as you will see from some of his recent contributions this has not been the case. He has now steered away from BMW motorcycle related articles - not least because his addition of his own link was reverted - but adding the site to the blacklist would stop it once and for all. --Biker Biker (talk) 09:33, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

Whois says they are owned by Michael Davis of Bigado. The multi-domain spam has me worried there are many other domains being spammed to Wikipedia; hopefully someone can help find a better list of domains. A quick news search shows some of their shenanigans. tedder (talk) 18:27, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

The other organizations were spammed likely because Medicina Mexico is associated with them. are examples of typical SEO bullshit. I strongly suspect this is a lie given. Edits like these are not signs of good faith. MER-C 10:26, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

LifeLock and Jaxman123
I don't really have time to deal with it, but it looks like the user Jaxman123 is only editing the page LifeLock and has completely changed it from this version https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=LifeLock&oldid=487445607. I'm not entirely sure this is the right place, but I hope someone has the time to resolve this. It looks like this is a bad PR stunt (all controversy removed). 97.97.215.119 (talk) 18:16, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
 * It seems really suspicious that you are making these changes from an IP address without an editing history. You seem to be very familiar with Wikipedia; is this a sockpuppet or good hand/bad hand account to keep it from being tied to a username? tedder (talk) 18:27, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

SPA link canvasser now adding content with links
I reverted a bunch of links by this user and warned them not to canvas. Now (per the suggestion on another user) they are doing pretty much the same thing, except adding content and using the link as a ref, though in many cases, not very substantive content. Looks like a pretty obvious WP:COI, but I wanted to get some feedback before taking further action. OhNo itsJamie Talk 21:35, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I think we have lost the war with spammers. Obvious cases can be reverted but as Wikipedia gets more important, the spammers can take more time and exploit our weaknesses. I haven't checked every item in their contribs but it is clear that the intention is to promote some website (I reverted one). Johnuniq (talk) 22:42, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
