Cross-wiki spammers:
Only mainspace contributions consist of spamming the domain
- pillowholiday.info: Linksearch en (insource) - meta - de - fr - simple - wikt:en - wikt:fr • Spamcheck • MER-C X-wiki • gs • Reports: Links on en - COIBot - COIBot-Local • Discussions: tracked - advanced - RSN • COIBot-Link, Local, & XWiki Reports - Wikipedia: en - fr - de • Google: search • meta • Domain: domaintools • AboutUs.com
... in a somewhat deceptive manner. Also, user pages and user talk pages are highly similar.
Checkuser requested because the spammed domain is very similar to
- places-data.com: Linksearch en (insource) - meta - de - fr - simple - wikt:en - wikt:fr • Spamcheck • MER-C X-wiki • gs • Reports: Links on en - COIBot - COIBot-Local • Discussions: tracked - advanced - RSN • COIBot-Link, Local, & XWiki Reports - Wikipedia: en - fr - de • Google: search • meta • Domain: domaintools • AboutUs.com
... being one of many domains blacklisted through the requests made at MediaWiki talk:Spam-blacklist/archives/May 2011#destination4u.net and m:Talk:Spam blacklist/Archives/2011-05#destination4u.net. This spammer has a history of massive cross-wiki sockpuppetry. In addition to the English Wikipedia, please organize a checkuser on all major Wikipedias via checkuser-l. Please also globally block the IPs, if possible.

More than likely this is a known crosswiki spammer. See Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of Novotarija. Jafeluv (talk) 10:33, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments
[edit]
Clerk endorsed As a technical point, checkusers require diffs in the presentation of evidence and it increases the chances that they will accept the case. I've taken the liberty of helping MER-C with the evidence formatting by supplying the diffs:
- Gluvmal's spam
- Nemmali's spam
- Nagluvos' spam
- Zlatkapic's spam
- Dacarodjos' spam
- Staniaut's spam
- All are clearly attempting to spam the same links. Endorsing to check the extent of account abuse.

Everyone except Nemmali (talk · contribs) are 
Confirmed matches to each other. They are all editing from open proxies which I've blocked. Nemmali was editing from a different OP. They have all been locked by the a steward and I have also added the link to the spam-blacklist. No further administrative action needed at this time. Marking for close.
