Spam in an edit summary[edit]

Could someone please look at the edit summary for this edit? I'm not sure how to deal with it. - Richard Cavell (talk) 05:15, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

Not a massive issue, but I've revdelled it - unambiguous advertising (but it is not searchable, and unlikely that anyone will see it. Added tracking above for the site, lets see if there is a wider problem. --Dirk Beetstra T C 05:20, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
(has not been linked in 'content' namespaces as far as I can see). --Dirk Beetstra T C 05:38, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

I'm not sure what to make of it. Thanks. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 08:46, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

Update:

User blocked and article deleted. Now, his edits, in the form of coat-racking and what might be consider ref-spamming the ln.edu.hk site, remain. Would editors reading this please consider helping to do a bit of cleanup? I'm involved, so wish to stay out of the cleanup. Also, I am not certain what should remain and what should go. Many, many thanks if you can help. Best, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:46, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

Spam articles deleted and recreated[edit]

BereniceMulubah (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · blacklist hits · AbuseLog · what links to user page · count · COIBot · user page logs · x-wiki · status · Edit filter search · Google · StopForumSpam) This user has created a page about herself at BereniceMulubah. A speedy deletion tag (A7, G11) was placed, and the user removed the speedy deletion tag. The tag was placed and removed again before I (under a different IP address than this one) replaced the tag one more time. The page was deleted, and her spamming at the user talk page was removed. A new article (BereniceMulubah1) was created with identical contents by the same editor, and was CSD tagged again. This is a notice to inform this WikiProject in case the issue becomes more severe. Administrators may wish to protect the relevent titles from creation if recreation of the article continues. 114.242.249.150 (talk) 13:17, 20 July 2017 (UTC)

IFSC spam and refspam[edit]

Sites usually added by anons using the common SEO technique. IFSC codes are highly prone to spamming, see Indian Financial System Code for example. ☆ Bri (talk) 04:25, 21 July 2017 (UTC)
