This seems to be a single-purpose account, created to promote a book ( Astroth, Alexander (2019). Mass Suicides on Saipan and Tinian, 1944: An Examination of the Civilian Deaths in Historical Context. McFarland & Company. p. 126. ISBN 1476674566.). The account was created two days ago, has made over 200 edits, all with the single common attribute of adding the above book as a reference. Often the additions to the article are not useful, such as at Oceania. It's a fact, it's referenced, but it's not appropriate for that context.
I haven't done anything yet, I don't have the tools to revert 200+ edits. If someone sanity checks my conclusion, I'll go through the effort of reverting the edits manually. Tarl N. ( discuss) 18:54, 30 June 2019 (UTC)

Nortonwelocmegjh ( 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 user edited the Norton AntiVirus page to add a phone number, which probably isn't Norton, it probably is a scam number.
Blacklisted. MER-C 10:35, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
Too low profile for the blacklist right now but added to a few articles by (warned) address and user, so leaving here. No extant use in article space but there's one instance at Draft:Pierre Fontaine (homeopath). — Paleo Neonate – 05:30, 19 July 2019 (UTC)
Rather low profile for now but a few users, obvious COI and cross-wiki, so posting here. No extant links in mainspace. — Paleo Neonate – 05:46, 19 July 2019 (UTC)
Recently spammed but low profile (one user, few articles, all reverted, user blocked). Too recent for blacklisting so listing here in case a sock appears/resumes. — Paleo Neonate – 21:00, 20 July 2019 (UTC)
Hi, I have just removed blatant advertisement for a DVD on the Hans Scharff article. The offending user 2601:246:4a80:e90:21ca:6a9b:9af6:dfd5 ( talk • contribs • deleted contribs • blacklist hits • AbuseLog • what links to user page • COIBot • count • block log • x-wiki • Edit filter search • WHOIS • robtex.com • Google) restored the advertisement I had previously removed and added even more references to it. I don't know who originally placed the advertisement there. I have also removed identical efforts by that user on Stalag Luft III and Gabby Gabreski. Thonatas ( talk) 13:20, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
