The user is involved in multiple article and category creation on the subject of
search engine optimization.
This user explicitly states he's an insider with biased perspective at
Articles_for_deletion/Aaron_Wall and his user page clearly shows his stake in services involving SEO.
He's made wiki doorway pages to multiple snippet articles which provides target for seeding commercial reference links that he may stand to gain from increased visits.
List of mini articles that circular reference each other
Most of pages within that category do not meet source quality standards per
WP:sources and the web owner and its affiliate marketers may stand to gain financially from visitors
Category page dedicated to list of people of not interest to general public that seems to serve as a directory.
List of not so notable people
Many of these people are not known outside of a specific niche industry and they're poorly referenced at best.
I think this akin is to creating a category for "Honor students of local high school"

Jitka J recently registered and immediately began spamming articles from "Internet Archaeology" in their External links sections. Can someone with the appropriate tools or time please revert these edits? These links might make good references for new material in these articles but indiscriminately adding them as external links is unacceptable. ElKevbo ( talk) 14:43, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

Editor whose only substantial edits over the last two years have been to add links to his personal blog, and more recently to argue tenaciously on the talk pages when they are removed (see Talk:Circular buffer#Java Implementation). Adding here for tracking due to long-running issue - may be a good candidate for xLinkBot if it continues to additional articles. --- Barek ( talk • contribs) - 16:15, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

These have been most often masqueraded into the External links sections under a different guise such as "National Archives" or Library of Congress. It is actually another wiki/blog...one that you have to join to see the images etc. I've removed about 20 tonight (there are approx 50 more). Try following any of the links and see if you get the promised photos or videos.
Good candidate for blacklisting...

As I just remarked at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Academic Journals, some of these articles seem to have included copyvio material from the journal publisher. So while I think that this mass deletion is a massive overreaction (while we're at it, why not delete all articles linking to IMDB as spam — that's about as good as the reasoning here for why these articles are spam), we should be careful of copyright issues if we want to undo these deletions. — David Eppstein ( talk) 21:34, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

Only made two edits, here and here, both to Wikipedia:Notability/Noticeboard. I guess the edits should be reverted, but I will leave that to somebody here. HairyWombat 03:10, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
Justinbrotton ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · blacklist hits · AbuseLog · what links to user page · count · COIBot · Spamcheck · user page logs · x-wiki · status · Edit filter search · Google · StopForumSpam) - apparent single use account, has only added links to this online magazine to articles. Also may be conflict of interest, since the username is the same as one of the magazine's editors. -- Ebyabe ( talk) 16:32, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

These have been most often masqueraded into the External links sections under a different guise such as "National Archives" or Library of Congress. It is actually another wiki/blog...one that you have to join to see the images etc. I've removed about 20 tonight (there are approx 50 more). Try following any of the links and see if you get the promised photos or videos.
Good candidate for blacklisting...

Insertion of a commercial site which is heavilly laden with advert/spammish content. Site is usually added as a ref, but fails WP:RS as well as WP:EL. Given similarity of some usernames involved, sockpuppetry is also likely. --- Barek ( talk • contribs) - 16:48, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

At ASP.NET I just reverted these three edits which inserted 27 external links, many using the following convoluted code:
I have noticed this procedure before. Has there been a discussion about this spam approach? Johnuniq ( talk) 10:52, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

I find it difficult to believe that three new users popping up in half an hour to add this link is a coincidence. MER-C 10:38, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

It seems that from this IP comes only link spamming. Now for gatagat.com and in the past for other addresses too. User warned in May and now. Last has been reverted together with few other.-- Dia^ ( talk) 11:43, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

As I just remarked at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Academic Journals, some of these articles seem to have included copyvio material from the journal publisher. So while I think that this mass deletion is a massive overreaction (while we're at it, why not delete all articles linking to IMDB as spam — that's about as good as the reasoning here for why these articles are spam), we should be careful of copyright issues if we want to undo these deletions. — David Eppstein ( talk) 21:34, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
