Hello. I am wondering, what was User:Smkovalinsky blocked for? --Apoc2400 (talk) 20:11, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
- Per Wikipedia:Blocking policy#Disruption-only, I blocked his/her account as being here for spam and advertising purposes only. This editor along with Petrosianii and some New Jersey-area IPs (68.193.109.55, 76.94.134.98, 98.96.238.70, 65.168.148.66, 68.196.41.39) have been involved in COI-editing of these articles:
- Liz Glazowski - Al Dana's spouse
- Al Dana
- Kegel Male Trainer - deleted 3 times (Al Dana's invention)
- Male exercise device
- Security Footwear - Al Dana invention
- Al Dana: Inventor, Investor, Impressario
- Jack Gulick
- New Yorker Hotel
- Edward Longley
- Kegel Male Exercise Trainer
- Braun Mincher
- as well as spamming some associated promotional material regarding the "Kegal Male Trainer" to other articles. Some of this stuff was real junk. Collectively these accounts were persistent enough to receive (and ignore) multiple warnings about linkspam, spam articles and conflicts of interest. Eventually, enough was enough and I blocked Smkovalinsky for disruption/spam/advertising.
- I suspect that probably the first rule of illicit paid editing on Wikipedia should be "screen your clients". The Kegel Male Trainer is no Arch Coal[1][2] This person (or team) seemed to be working with some very weak material and then diligently trying to cram their stuff into Wikipedia for their clients. Predictably, this enterprise has ended in tears and, since Smkovalinsky's block, wikidrama on and off Wikipedia. --A. B. (talk • contribs) 22:30, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
