Almost assuredly a sock of Michael2176. Spamming the same sorts of articles in the same sort of disruptive fashion using the same sort of broken English. TheTechnician27 (Talk page) 02:10, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

Has been adding spam links to thebrewnews.com / thebrew.ae for years. The name they give on their user page is the same as that of the Features Editor for The Brew News. JaggedHamster (talk) 13:18, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
- Kindly verify before flagging. I am M Babar Siddiqui, Features Editor of The Brew News. Mbrsid (talk) 13:55, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, that is the problem. You have been spamming your site across Wikipedia. MrOllie (talk) 14:49, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
User:Linfengkuang789987
User:Linfengkuang789987 is a single purpose user that added a spam URL to Illinois Eye and Ear Infirmary. See the website in the infobox in this diff. I've gone ahead and reverted it, but a block here would be great. HyperAccelerated (talk) 02:29, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
- Nice catch, for what it's worth I've warned the user. Pahunkat (talk) 08:17, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
