Suspicious new articles (7 March)
Sigh... I may have to produce these lists once a week to ensure faster scrutiny and therefore less payments. MER-C 18:09, 7 March 2020 (UTC)
- MER-C, I'm wondering if it would be worthwhile to change the format of the table slightly - add a "reviewed by/comments" field, so that as people go through and vet these, we don't get too much duplication of effort - I'm imagining that people would comment things like "looks okay," "sent to AfD," etc. Of course, maybe you and others think it would be better to get multiple eyes on each article, in which case, never mind. creffett (talk) 01:01, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
Suspicious new articles (21 March)
Yawn. The net has widened slightly since the last version. MER-C 17:24, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
Suspicious new articles (4 April)
Second derivative negative, first derivative still positive. The net is also wider. MER-C 15:18, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

There are currently around 125 links to happymag.tv, being used as a reference around Wikipedia. I've been doing some spot checking, and it appears that most of these have been added by PurpleReign1990. PurpleReign1990 has also written Draft:Happy Mag. Legitimate source? Spam campaign? I'm not sure. - MrOllie (talk) 12:47, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

I came across this via this edit to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and the links are to some person's YouTube channel where he reads books and uploads the audio. I also found this edit to Brave New World, this edit to Nineteen Eighty-Four and this edit to The Call of Cthulhu by other IPs. There may be more links like these added to other articles about books covered that YouTube channel by still other IPs as well. Whether this qualifies as spam I'm not too sure, but the links seem to be totally for self-promotion purposes which is contrary to items 4 and 11 of WP:ELNO and also not really in accordance with WP:LINKSPAM; so, perhaps someone could take a closer look at this and see if it's really a problem. My guess is that it's likely the same person hopping from one IP to another so nothing is likely going to be resolved by block any IPs. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:45, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUpMsam3SUi7xKfxBBRBahgGIo4bZr4v0
(or a more precise regex for it) would hamper them for now. Dirk Beetstra T C 08:07, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

- Beetstra, it turns out the user is “User:Kieran-dean evans” with a lowercase e. Anyways, his userpage has already been deleted under G11. RedBulbBlueBlood9911 (talk) 08:06, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
