This seems to be a single-purpose account, created to promote a book ( Astroth, Alexander (2019). Mass Suicides on Saipan and Tinian, 1944: An Examination of the Civilian Deaths in Historical Context. McFarland & Company. p. 126. ISBN 1476674566.). The account was created two days ago, has made over 200 edits, all with the single common attribute of adding the above book as a reference. Often the additions to the article are not useful, such as at Oceania. It's a fact, it's referenced, but it's not appropriate for that context.

I haven't done anything yet, I don't have the tools to revert 200+ edits. If someone sanity checks my conclusion, I'll go through the effort of reverting the edits manually. Tarl N. (discuss) 18:54, 30 June 2019 (UTC)

Looks like WP:BOOKSPAM to me. Blocked and mass reverted. — JJMC89 (T·C) 01:43, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
Thank you. Much relieved to have the confirmation and not have to do the mass revert myself :-) Tarl N. (discuss) 04:42, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

Hello! I'm ignorant on this part of WP but would appreciate if someone able would take a look at the above. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 13:11, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

Spam on Norton AntiVirus page

Blacklisted. MER-C 10:35, 17 July 2019 (UTC)

homeopathicservices.com

Too low profile for the blacklist right now but added to a few articles by (warned) address and user, so leaving here. No extant use in article space but there's one instance at Draft:Pierre Fontaine (homeopath). —PaleoNeonate – 05:30, 19 July 2019 (UTC)

efor-real.com

Rather low profile for now but a few users, obvious COI and cross-wiki, so posting here. No extant links in mainspace. —PaleoNeonate – 05:46, 19 July 2019 (UTC)

globalnewsup.ml

Recently spammed but low profile (one user, few articles, all reverted, user blocked). Too recent for blacklisting so listing here in case a sock appears/resumes. —PaleoNeonate – 21:00, 20 July 2019 (UTC)

Repeated advertisement of DVD on a wikipage

Hi, I have just removed blatant advertisement for a DVD on the Hans Scharff article. The offending user 2601:246:4a80:e90:21ca:6a9b:9af6:dfd5 (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • blacklist hits • AbuseLog • what links to user page • COIBot • Spamcheck • count • block log • x-wiki • Edit filter search • WHOIS • robtex.com • Google) restored the advertisement I had previously removed and added even more references to it. I don't know who originally placed the advertisement there. I have also removed identical efforts by that user on Stalag Luft III and Gabby Gabreski. Thonatas (talk) 13:20, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

More from the D&B Spammer. I reported this domain name in May, not sure why it wasn't added to the blacklist. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Johndburger (talk • contribs) 19:24, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
