== degruyter.com ==

* {{Link summary|degruyter.com}}
* {{User summary|Kdeb2505}}
* {{User summary|ApeironDeGruyter}}

After seeing that the new account is citing only that domain, I ran a poke but it only showed one other blocked account, ApeironDeGruyter that had added it a few years ago. There are 300+ links to that site however but I don't know how many accounts may have added it. Needs further investigation.<br />&nbsp;—&nbsp;[[User:Berean Hunter|<span style="font-family:High Tower Text;color:#0000ff;font-weight:900;">Berean Hunter</span>]] [[User talk :Berean Hunter|<span style="font-family:High Tower Text;color:#0000ff;font-weight:900;">(talk)</span>]] 20:39, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
