    Removed ChatON boilerplate to almost every Samsung device article

    I removed this text from a LOT of Samsung device pages:

    ChatON has basic features which are auto friends registration, text chat, & multimedia deliver, and put new features which are My Page, voice/video chat, & translate.
    The main function of ChatON is divided into Multimedia, Group Chat, Trunk, and Animation Message. ChatON can send text, picture, video, & audio as multimedia.
    Users use the personal profile into My Page. They can create group chat rooms just by selecting more than 2 buddies. All the contents that have been shared in each chat is saved into each trunk. Animation Message turns some simple drawing and stamping into short moving videos.

    A link to the ChatON article page should be enough.

    Spam on "Free-Market Roads" - Talk Page.

    The IP Address comes back from Turkey and a Google translate of the text seems to indicate it's spam. It occurs once a day over the past two weeks from the following two IP addresses.

    Vidcat.org link spam

    On the R-tree article, a spammy link was inserted, to a "slideshare" type of site. Probably not even to original content, but pdf slides collected on the internet reformatted on that site.

    I've noticed this wasn't the first time, and a number of these links still exist:

    vidcat.org: Linksearch en (insource) - meta - de - fr - simple - wikt:en - wikt:fr • Spamcheck • MER-C X-wiki • gs • Reports: Links on en - COIBot - COIBot-Local • Discussions: tracked - advanced - RSN • COIBot-Link, Local, & XWiki Reports - Wikipedia: en - fr - de • Google: search • meta • Domain: domaintools • AboutUs.com

    This looks like systematic link dropping, at a low frequency to not trigger suspicion:

    Apparently this user switched to using IPs instead of an account, after being notified on his talk page:
