    I have removed the "User:" from the user names in Modernist's original report above, as it broke the links in the User summary template. - David Biddulph (talk) 11:43, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Disagree. This is valid external page. I basically did nothing more after the warning. The other 2 are separate people. This will be appealed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JuliusJeff (talk • contribs) 14:51, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Good luck with that then. Everyone involved so far seems to think this is spam. Let me add my name to that list. Might I suggest that you read this and then consider other ways that you can put your talents to improving the encyclopaedia? --Biker Biker (talk) 14:59, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    How true. This definitely seems like spam to me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thegreatgrabber (talk • contribs) 03:27, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    I have no idea what that edit is but it's not spam. It's also not helpful. I'm guessing it's a kid but I don't know. The IP, a residential DSL line in the U.K., is not a typical source of spambots, which also make edits looking like this except containing links. --A. B.

    Paintless dent repair, mobile application platforms, karate. How are these related?

    There must be a common thread. SEO consultant? tedder (talk) 00:03, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    The obvious thing is what the corp username implies: mobileframe sell a mobile enterprise application platform, one of which is used to build a software product one of which is sold by automobiletechnologies for companies that recondition vehicles. The link for that was spammed as "Paintless dent repair software" to the Paintless dent repair article.

    Weight loss spammers

    A couple of "new" editors have been trying to add EL to Weight loss in the last few days.
