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.

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.

This range of IP addresses in the Philippines has been extensively spamming articles about crabs in the family Lithodidae (king crabs). This specifically includes e.g. 112.198.112.226, 112.198.112.167, 112.198.112.172, and 112.198.98.123 (the latter being in the 98.X range, but they're predominantly coming from 112.X, and more than one Class C range seems like overkill).
