@ Jéské Couriano and Anachronist: This is not related to this/ and this stuff, right? We had a spammer that was hitting wrestling type articles with live tv links, adding them to the very top. -- Dirk Beetstra T C 05:21, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
Systematic cite spam by various single-usage and SPA accounts. The added "journal" is a 1-person website with no information about the author. The given DOI for these references is also erroneous (and possibly fake). Despite its misleading fancy title, this is not a journal but a blog by a self-publishing author. The content is sold for 10-33 bucks via Amazon. GermanJoe ( talk) 09:35, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

youtube.com/c/AtheistRepublic
is a valid page unrelated to the spammer, although I'm not saying it should be used in an article. I think the same is true of facebook.com/AtheistRepublic
but I'm not willing to do what be needed to view that page. The spammer is not trying to promote the atheistrepublic pages; the strategy is to use them as valid targets so atheistrepublic.org would be allowed to remain in articles, then later change it to a page controlled by the spammer. Blacklisting is a problem with this LTA because he is quite happy to make lots of domains possibly with entirely different topics, so the next one might have nothing to do with atheists. Monitoring with RBI may be the best we can do. However, how to deal with it here is best left up to you.

This seems to have been caught in an effort to stop SEO spamming ( https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=MediaWiki_talk:Spam-blacklist&oldid=769671529#Immigration_law_refspam_round_3), but the Liberty Fund doesn't fit the profile, and it provides access to original content (articles, interviews, etc).— Preceding unsigned comment added by Icebraining ( talk • contribs)

This one is being added repeatedly over multiple days to Photograph by several IPs in the 123.108.244.xxx range. Warnings aren't helping; they just aren't getting the hint, and are getting sneakier about adding it - last one was hidden as a citation. PohranicniStraze ( talk) 17:11, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
Spamming with single-usage accounts. Aside from the spam itself, there is also a good amount of socking and promotional COI-editing for the Wiki topics related to Bajaj Finserv - spam is unlikely to stop after given warnings. GermanJoe ( talk) 11:57, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

This site is being used persistently for promotion with various new accounts every day. I noticed this for over a week. And one suspicious thing is that they only add the promotional material on talkpage, which is intentionally calculated since they understand talkpages are not being deleted. Two examples of new accounts whom their only edits is as described above are 1 and 2 – Ammarpad ( talk) 05:49, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
It seems a wikipedia echo. Sample http://research.omicsgroup.org/index.php/List_of_Greeks_by_net_worth and List of Greeks by net worth. Matthew_hk t c 12:15, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
User seems determined to spam his own website as a source in various articles. All but one of his edits revolves around citing this website as a source, though I am doubtful that this is viable as a source, and the user has removed cites to unambiguously viable sources ( Times of India) while doing so. — Jeremy v^_^v Bori! 06:28, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
