Commercial, spam. GSS 💬 06:39, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
- @GSS The IP is an open proxy and I've blocked it as such. A checkuser on the account was very interesting and turned up multiple other spam accounts! HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 19:17, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
- @GSS: Added to MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist. --HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 22:47, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

Dang Quang Sang has repeadetly added a promotional link to the Paint by number article. By the way, sorry if I did this wrong I can't seem to figure out how to use the templates. Gaismagorm (talk) 16:27, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Gaismagorm Blocked. Confirmed to Color By Number (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · blacklist hits · AbuseLog · what links to user page · count · COIBot · Spamcheck · user page logs · x-wiki · status · Edit filter search · Google · StopForumSpam). Come back/let me know if you see this link being added again and we can look at blacklisting it. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 14:47, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
Account doing self-promotion / spam
Special:Contributions/Lilbolo23 recent account adding non-anchored references to some paper in multiple articles. Solstag (talk) 11:18, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
- An instance also occured on eswiki, already reverted. For enwiki, I feel like spam is of the same origin, but I'll pass the call to revert to someone else. A09|(talk) 16:24, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
- Could be good faith. I left a warning. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 14:51, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
- I've reverted the addition in Topic model (bc paper is just another application, not particularly meaningful or central to the subject, and has just been published). I noticed it had already been reverted before and the same account then reinserted it (with an intermediary step possibly in order to trick filters). Solstag (talk) 13:31, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

No activity except repeated link spamming (mainly rugby-related), sometimes vandalizing existing references in the process. Seems to be related to
