    Apparently some sort of Hong Kong merchandise knockoff company spamming the real Abercrombie & Fitch article. Their site looks almost real. --CliffC (talk) 13:04, 24 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Only made two edits, here and here, both to Wikipedia:Notability/Noticeboard. I guess the edits should be reverted, but I will leave that to somebody here. HairyWombat 03:10, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    These have been most often masqueraded into the External links sections under a different guise such as "National Archives" or Library of Congress. It is actually another wiki/blog...one that you have to join to see the images etc. I've removed about 20 tonight (there are approx 50 more). Try following any of the links and see if you get the promised photos or videos.

    Good candidate for blacklisting...

    I can't find anything since that spam item. What evidence do you have of spamming after February 2009? MER-C 10:22, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
