The spam appears to be limited to the Nuzra Thakur (talk · contribs) account for now, so I've  Blocked the account. Thank you for reporting this.​ — Newslinger talk 17:20, 15 June 2025 (UTC)

Subtle spam

StickShifter (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)

The current methodology is to generate a short paragraph or section supported by an accompanying blogspam ref: [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. Especially subtle were these two edits, one to add the paragraph using pre-existing refs, followed by a second to insert the spam [9][10]. Earlier efforts were less concealed [11][12][13]. Provided diffs are non-exhaustive.

As a digression, it's the first time I've seen this style of editing and would appreciate being clued-in if it matches any known spam rings. fifteen thousand two hundred twenty four (talk) 14:02, 14 June 2025 (UTC)

There are more links but this should be enough to get things going. MER-C 09:51, 15 June 2025 (UTC)

​ Couple more of the same:

That last diff is goatturf.com again, inserted in the same manner as StickShifter did here.

And would you consider a block of creditninja also?

@15224 I blocked EddieLara because they came up in a check I ran on StickShifter. The creditninja links are very old so I'm not inclined to block or blacklist the domain unless it's spammed again. Good spot, though, and thanks for the report. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 20:43, 15 June 2025 (UTC)

@ScalarFactor those are both proxies so I've put long-term blocks on the IPs. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 18:50, 16 June 2025 (UTC)
