Can someone decode Special:Contributions/Kim Oun. Is that spam in the edit summaries? I wonder how many pages of spam there are like Draft:85512255079. Off-topic here, but the user created User:85512255079 which should be speedied? Johnuniq (talk) 03:47, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

No action needed currently (links cleaned up), just noting it here to inform other editors - in case the pattern continues. GermanJoe (talk) 11:20, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
Ongoing for a few months now, the majority of the spam has been reverted by recent changes patrollers, so I'm not sure if there are more accounts involved. But the blatant spamming by multiple accounts over a period of several months suggests bigger problems. (How do I trigger the bot to generate that report thing? That's the primary reason I reported it) Elaenia (talk) 18:34, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
Lots of spam additions lately spanning several IPs and accounts. Over 500 according to link search to a domain which appears to be a sales/promotional non-reliable source. Elaenia (talk) 17:11, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

I removed this link from few pages but some users are keep adding it from different IP and usernames. Thank You – GSS (talk) 12:16, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
Here another one. All links are non-official and the IP repeating the same thing as last time. (Example here) – GSS (talk) 07:49, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
This WP:SPA editor, probably acting in good faith, has obviously found a list of recipients of said degrees, and has taken to inserting same into BLPs across the project. I first saw it a few days ago when reverting a mention, with a citation that didn't actually show the honourary degree of Susan Greenfield, Baroness Greenfield. I reverted because mention of only one of Greenfield thirty two honourary degrees seemed WP:UNDUE. I've only found one citation in his contributions that actually was accurate. The rest just lead to a Herriot Watt search page, though I haven't looked at each of his contributions, yet.
I'm here to ask expert anti spammers to have a look, and advise me if I should open a conversation on the editors Talk page about it. There are other reasons besides spam of course, COI perhaps - I'd rather not use a sledgehammer to crack this nut, if you know what I mean. Thx. -Roxy the dog™ woof 10:29, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

This doesn't quite appear to be a reliable source. Sources about him seem thin, but the blog's main author might arugably be considered an expert per WP:SPS. The site has occasionally been used by experienced editors in good faith, but it looks like the majority of uses as a reference have been added by WP:SPA IP addresses from the same provider:
All edits are related to adding content supported by the blog. A few are particularly transparent, like this edit to actor Michael Rosenbaum, which has nothing to do with bourbon and the source mainly mentions the blog's author's minor cameo in a movie. I removed some of the links, but I've got to take care of other stuff, so I'm posting this for further input/assistance. Grayfell (talk) 21:12, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
'GRAYFELL'S How do you support your accusations and reason for removal? - How is this BourbonBlog.com not a reliable source? You provide no proof. You state you are removing citations - but why are they are incorrect, untrue or for what reason?
It seems BourbonBlog.com is a legitimate and respected media outlet for Bourbon, whiskey and spirits. A Google search shows that it is often quoted by major national media outlets such as USA Today, New York Times, NPR. Legitimate content is required to support articles from expert resources from a whiskey publisher for Wikipedia.
Have you removed other media outlet citations from these articles or left them be only to target one media outlet / expert resource? If you an expert in this community of whiskey and film to determine what is correct and incorrect please tell us so we can understand why you are targeting the citations or media outlet.
Targeting contributors because another contributor doesn't like a particular media outlet or the author could be considered against Wikipedia's Policies https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:No_personal_attacks and not an appropriate.
Factual citations and neutral points of view that existed for years have been seem to be left with no citation now.
Kindly reverse the changes you have made unless you have evidence to support that such citations were incorrect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1015:B01C:6A7B:CC83:6115:1242:EE6A (talk) 17:40, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
Grayfell you've made accusations against a resource, so you need to provide that fact-checking, accuracy and reputation are an issue here that you have claimed. Otherwise, should we just take your word for it? All of us on this page have to wonder what your motives are exactly? You've already had a chance to give this evidence as requested, but you didn't reply to it. Your repeated behavior is coming across harassing and targeted.

I don't understand why a power user was able to revert (delete) my addition to an article. My addition was not only not offensive, it added quality to the post. This seems a bit Orwellian.
The article is "Great White Throne"
I recently led a study in Revelation and my addition to this article added important clarifications. Why was this power user able to 'revert' my content?
In case it matters, here is the paragraph I added so you can see there is nothing offensive and the content is a quality addition.
A direct reading of Revelation 19 indicates two separate resurrections, but one judgment for all (most common Evangelical Protestant view). Only believers are in first resurrection which is before the 1,000 years (Rev 20:4-5). After the 1,000 years, the unbelievers are raised (Rev 20:7-15). It is after the unbelievers are resurrected that all come before the Great White Throne. The unbelievers are judged by their works (deeds) written in 'the books'. The believers are not judged by their works, but are spared from judgment because their name is found in 'the book' of life. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chuck1533 (talk • contribs) 22:29, 29 April 2016
Based on 27.4.58.58's edits, this is likely related to marketingsegment spam (blacklisted link). Apparition11 Complaints/Mistakes 21:20, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
Despite being on the blacklist, the spam continues. The account is making new articles, likely to soon be deleted, but one containing the link and the other being an article about the site. Apparition11 Complaints/Mistakes 01:08, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
