Account doing self-promotion / spam edit
Special:Contributions/Lilbolo23 recent account adding non-anchored references to some paper in multiple articles. Solstag (talk) 11:18, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
- An instance also occured on eswiki, already reverted. For enwiki, I feel like spam is of the same origin, but I'll pass the call to revert to someone else. A09|(talk) 16:24, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
- Could be good faith. I left a warning. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 14:51, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
- I've reverted the addition in Topic model (bc paper is just another application, not particularly meaningful or central to the subject, and has just been published). I noticed it had already been reverted before and the same account then reinserted it (with an intermediary step possibly in order to trick filters). Solstag (talk) 13:31, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

No activity except repeated link spamming (mainly rugby-related), sometimes vandalizing existing references in the process. Seems to be related to

I can't believe I'm saying this, but there has been a bizarre influx of editors putting spam in articles on deep-sea king crabs. This includes Michael2176, who was recently blocked indefinitely for this. Everything about this editor shows the exact same pattern. It's gotten to a point where I'm considering getting some of these articles semi-protected. TheTechnician27 (Talk page) 13:23, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
User Bnurs edit
Bnurs (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · blacklist hits · AbuseLog · what links to user page · count · COIBot · user page logs · x-wiki · status · Edit filter search · Google · StopForumSpam) This account appears to be primarily used for adding references to publications by Kaiguang Zhao across various articles. It reads to me as WP:REFSPAM. 73.68.208.57 (talk) 14:54, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
