Addition of links to legaldictionary.net with the author identified as "Team, Content"; attempt to conceal behind other (generally low quality) additions. Appears to be one person. Arllaw (talk) 18:09, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

No comment on the spamming issue, just an observation that all the IPv6 addresses fall under 2604:1580:FE00:5:0:0:0:0/64 and 2605:6C80:11:2000:0:0:0:0/64. Pahunkat (talk) 14:08, 2 October 2021 (UTC)

Seems to be a SPA dedicated to promoting the Raimon Land property development company. Regards, MrsSnoozyTurtle 03:57, 3 October 2021 (UTC)

MrsSnoozyTurtle, it seems their last edits were in 2009? Not much we can do about that. I did notice there were a spare few instances of two of the links they added still being live, but they don't seem to be being used in a spammy sense from a quick look. See search for link one, search for link two. Perryprog (talk) 17:35, 3 October 2021 (UTC)
Hello Perryprog. Oops, I didn't notice that the edits are so old! Sorry about that, I agree that it isn't worth bothering about. Thanks for doing a link search. Regards, MrsSnoozyTurtle 21:09, 3 October 2021 (UTC)

Cleanup needed on International Volunteer HQ

I'm shamelessly passing the bull on this, because I'm very tired and have already been reverted and re-reverted by what I assume are COI editors. I haven't looked at the content of their edits too closely, but they do read as promotional to me. I'm unsure what some of the edits are saying in a few places, as compared to the article's previous content, they're both equally buzzword-heavy. I also haven't looked into much, but the article was tagged for notability—it's potentially AfD-able if that's the case. My presumption is the whole thing has been COI-stuff from the start. (And apologizes for the slightly ramble-y post.) Perryprog (talk) 23:48, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

@Perryprog: I left the first user a advert4im and the second, at first, a welcomecoi which I upped to an advert4im as well. The IP locates to the same geographical area and uses 'copy' in a similar way as Rkaminer1115. Both users pass the ducktest for COI editors. Sentences in 'Corporate Responsibility', 'History' and 'Awards' are rather peacocky, as well as how it promotes itself in the intro. Reverted back to earlier version, but the three independent references in that version (1-3) are all for property/size claims that do not show notability (neither does any of the text assert that claim), and the remainder of the references are primary. Spammy, COI .. if nothing obvious shows up in a quick search then it maybe should be AfD'd, or maybe sent back to draft .. --Dirk Beetstra T C 10:49, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
Beetstra, thank you greatly. Honestly, normally I've been fine handling this type of stuff on my own but I found this page especially obtuse to handle. I'll likely give a look at its notability in a day or two if no-one else has by then. Perryprog (talk) 11:41, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

plozee.com

After Insightzz10 was warned for refspamming plozee.com, two new users joined the team. This time a bit more subtle, but still spamming references to that site and even using the same links (Skin whitening: CokeBottle41, Insightzz10; Wrestling: Insightzz10, SnipTown22). – NJD-DE (talk) 17:16, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

Noted an IP spamming the second, seems the same IPs were active to spam the first. The blocked IP (...236) spammed the last three as well (but that did not stop them). --Dirk Beetstra T C 08:14, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
