This seems to be a single-purpose account, created to promote a book. The account was created two days ago, has made over 200 edits, all with the single common attribute of adding the above book as a reference. Often the additions to the article are not useful, such as at Oceania. It's a fact, it's referenced, but it's not appropriate for that context.

I haven't done anything yet, I don't have the tools to revert 200+ edits. If someone sanity checks my conclusion, I'll go through the effort of reverting the edits manually. Tarl N. ( discuss ) 18:54, 30 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Looks like WP:BOOKSPAM to me. Blocked and mass reverted. —&thinsp;JJMC89&thinsp; (T·C) 01:43, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Much relieved to have the confirmation and not have to do the mass revert myself :-) Tarl N. ( discuss ) 04:42, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

Spam on Norton AntiVirus page
This user edited the Norton AntiVirus page to add a phone number, which probably isn't Norton, it probably is a scam number.

Blacklisted. MER-C 10:35, 17 July 2019 (UTC)

homeopathicservices.com
Too low profile for the blacklist right now but added to a few articles by (warned) address and user, so leaving here. No extant use in article space but there's one instance at Draft:Pierre Fontaine (homeopath). — Paleo Neonate  – 05:30, 19 July 2019 (UTC)

efor-real.com
Rather low profile for now but a few users, obvious COI and cross-wiki, so posting here. No extant links in mainspace. — Paleo Neonate  – 05:46, 19 July 2019 (UTC)

globalnewsup.ml
Recently spammed but low profile (one user, few articles, all reverted, user blocked). Too recent for blacklisting so listing here in case a sock appears/resumes. — Paleo Neonate  – 21:00, 20 July 2019 (UTC)

Repeated advertisement of DVD on a wikipage
Hi, I have just removed blatant advertisement for a DVD on the Hans Scharff article. The offending user restored the advertisement I had previously removed and added even more references to it. I don't know who originally placed the advertisement there. I have also removed identical efforts by that user on Stalag Luft III and Gabby Gabreski. Thonatas (talk) 13:20, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

More from the D&B Spammer. I reported this domain name in May, not sure why it wasn't added to the blacklist. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Johndburger (talk • contribs) 19:24, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
