 * @Adenosine Triphosphate Blocked, thank you. Checkuser turned up a few other accounts making similar edits including one not already blocked so that was well worthwhile. HJ Mitchell &#124; Penny for your thoughts? 22:49, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

Newbikebd.com
The only contributions of this account are to add refspam linking to newbikebd.com. Appears to be a low quality link related to Bangladesh (BD) motorcycle prices. ☆ Bri (talk) 18:11, 24 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Blocked. Thanks. HJ Mitchell &#124; Penny for your thoughts? 22:50, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

Spam report
- recent edits seem focused on inserting questionable links to their web site; username suggests that their focus is on SEO, not contributing to the encyclopedia. Omphalographer (talk) 03:35, 6 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Hello friends, this is the case. I found that there is not enough introduction in the application field of polymer water-absorbing materials, so I concentrated on a few selected websites and put a few related links that have been added to the library archives in order to enrich related chemistry. Some detailed applications of products in corresponding fields and products that achieve corresponding effects. If they are not allowed to be concentrated on a few websites, I will choose a few more references in the future. Irisseosem (talk) 06:06, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
 * This is a undisclosed paid editor, previously blocked for spamming. Literally has "seo" and "sem" in the username. I've blocked the account. Sam Kuru (talk) 12:02, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

User who's edits are purely to insert their own site in the article. Despite being warned several times, they keep doing it. &#39;&#39;Flux55&#39;&#39; (talk) 05:24, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

annuaire-mairie.fr
Hello,

I suggest that you block the annuaire-mairie.fr website because it is an unofficial site that does not cite its sources. This site is managed by a French company that has already been condemned by the courts for misleading consumers (https://mesinfos.fr/auvergne-rhone-alpes/saint-chamond-lentreprise-advercity-condamnee-pour-pratiques-commerciales-trompeuses-121955.html).

Their activity consists of placing as many links as possible to make people believe that they are the official site of the town hall, and then charging for administrative procedures that are free, or encouraging Internet users to call a premium-rate number.

This site has already been banned in France for similar practices: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discussion_MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist/archive7#Bloquer_:_divers_sites_g%C3%A9r%C3%A9s_par_Advercity Torrora (talk) 13:03, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

103.50.21.187, citydb, and filmifeed
The only edits of appear to be to add references to two unreliable-looking sites, citydb (example diff) and filmifeed (example diff), sometimes immediately followed by an innocuous edit that masks the addition (example diff). Warned and reverted but maybe stronger action is needed. —David Eppstein (talk) 08:40, 10 February 2024 (UTC)


 * I agree with @David Eppstein's report and inform you that the db-city.com site is also managed by the ADVERCITY company, which I reported today with the annuaire-mairie.fr website. Torrora (talk) 13:06, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

81.31.123.202, 24.21.5.220 and 39.41.251.92
All non-registered users, the first one is a repeat troll, second one deleted a few paragraphs and replaced it with "hello", third one is just regular spamming. Adenosine Triphosphate (talk) 10:27, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
