Spammer 'LacedMedia' overwriting articles
- LacedMedia (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · blacklist hits · AbuseLog · what links to user page · count · COIBot · Spamcheck · user page logs · x-wiki · status · Edit filter search · Google · StopForumSpam)
This user edited and replaced several articles with spam. https://en.wikipedia.org/Special:Contributions/LacedMedia I have fixed what I can but the Container City article is still vandalized. AlanKHG (talk) 18:51, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
- @AlanKHG I've restored that article and blocked the user. Thanks for the report. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 19:04, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

Likely a script driven spam bot that have inserted a page with product purchasing link to a $39.00 book into a swath of Scouting related articles and talk pages in rapid succession. Contribution nuke by an admin and block needed. It would be too tedious to be done manually. Graywalls (talk) 23:39, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Graywalls Done. That's my edit quota for the day! Will also blacklist the domain. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 23:48, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

The link is used in dozens of articles and aside from a few, they appear to have been inserted by the same user. It appears to be a questionable source of limited value. Graywalls (talk) 22:51, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
- User is blocked, domain is being discussed at RSN. I don't think there's anything more to be done really. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 23:12, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
- I was hoping to get COIBot links spawned so I can see the insertion history. Graywalls (talk) 23:24, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Graywalls COIBot was down, finally got to repair it, I have requested the bot to save the report. Dirk Beetstra 14:01, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

User:2A02:2378:1281:C427:C0B6:E801:79D4:4209
User:2A02:2378:1281:C427:C0B6:E801:79D4:4209 is repeatedly posting inappropriate links to articles, often disguising the text with those links. Another user told them to stop on their talk page but they are still vandalizing these pages. Colohisto (talk) 07:35, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
- Contributions from this user, because it was not linked to in the original post: Special:Contributions/2A02:2378:1281:C427:C0B6:E801:79D4:4209. --2001:8003:B16F:FE00:3CCE:5920:CFC6:47FD (talk) 09:53, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
- Looks like someone has already reverted the edits which add the URLs. 2001:8003:B16F:FE00:3CCE:5920:CFC6:47FD (talk) 09:55, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
