Fashion blog spammed as an external link and/or reference across 80 or so articles, by an WP:SPA account who flagged nearly all of their edits as "minor". A couple of links were to morningdressguide.com, a similar blog written by the same person.

Newly created or updated files are spam
I have just finished reverting some spamming on behalf of a book publisher, by (I have left a couple of messages on the user talk page). This included uploading several commercial images, which I think should be deleted. I don't see a corresponding routine justification for the deletion, so please can someone either sort this out or tell me what else to do?

New files: New versions: For the new versions, there is now also a copy of the original resulting from my reversion.

I would like to emphasise that the user has not (as of this post) in any way been uncooperative or anything similar so this is not a complaint about user behaviour, simply a request for help cleaning things up. User will be notified.

Thanks. --Mirokado (talk) 22:03, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
 * You can tag them as orphaned fair use, but I'd wait a bit until things settle. MER-C 02:45, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
