Portland business association spam

There is a network of these, they are being placed in articles as an external link (which is borderline) and in an infobox as if they are the neighborhood association. IP hopping. tedder (talk) 00:38, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

Oh, right, this is linked to pearlhelp.com and exploresellwood.com, which I blocked last month. tedder (talk) 00:40, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

There's a couple more of these that you may want to blacklist preemptively:

Personally Speaking Bureau

Represents individuals for speaking engagements, adding link, generally as a reference (reference spamming, "spam as ref"). Examples: [1] [2] [3] Certainly not a WP:RS. Not doing anything with it yet except I warned the contributor (personal message, not just a template). tedder (talk) 01:27, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

User appears to be going through some sort of alphabetical list -- this is definitely spam. MER-C 02:23, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

steelcityartist.com

Steelcityartst has already gone beyond a level 4 warning for spamming his own site onto Wikipedia and may be blocked. It also appears that PghIllustrator73 is an obvious sockpuppet of Steelcityartst.

SerjSagan reverted one of my removals of unsourced medical/promotional information from the article. I reverted his edit and posted a warning on his User Page. While researching the cited domain, found some interesting information:

It seems that SerjSagan is trying to use Wikipedia to promote his own site; I intend to prevent this if I can.

Another IP user (perhaps good ol' SerjSagan) has been undoing my cleanup edits to the article (and restoring a link to http://www.enhancementresearch.com). The info:

I've posted caution/warning messages on his Talk page. — UncleBubba ( T @ C ) 01:18, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

 Question: I've un-done his/her reversions of my cleanup edits, but he/she has reverted me and I don't want to edit-war with him/her. If anyone wants to offer a second opinion, I'm sure it would be welcome. Thanks! — UncleBubba ( T @ C ) 01:57, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

That IP was not me. SerjSagan (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 23:52, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

Premptive spam report for "CEO Focus"

They currently have an elance job posted for writing about them on wikipedia: https://www.elance.com/j/create-post-wikipedia-page/30768039/ I already reported it to elance but figured I'd leave a note here too. - Nfriedly (talk) 21:11, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

A page by this name was created and deleted roughly about the time the proposal was awarded. MER-C 04:58, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

EleVERSITY is a employee of New England Foam. I wonder who DriveAutoGroup was? --Ronz (talk) 21:16, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

Well it seems to be a family affair;
  • Chris Elia - President of Drive Auto Group (onesource.com/free/Chris-Elia/People/Profile/92198609-1)
  • Krisandra Elia - Finance Executive of New England Foam Products Inc. (onesource.com/free/Krisandra-Elia/People/Profile/45811700-2)
  • Ashlee Elia - Ashlee Elia Photography ashleeelia.com/galleries.htm (has links/picks to both New England Foam & drive auto group)
--Hu12 (talk) 21:33, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
I thought this was considered outing? tedder (talk) 21:44, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
We're not saying they are the editor(s) in question - just pointing out that the businesses are owned by apparent family members. --Versageek 22:03, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
