    Repeated IP morphing spam from Tunisia. I'm mostly seeing it on web-related articles (watchlisted), but it could be anywhere. It's persistent, morphy and the domain has nothing to offer here, so I see blacklist as appropriate rather than blocks or page protection. Andy Dingley (talk) 13:10, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Mocavo

    User User:Elshrimpbucket has added new citations into many articles which reference digitised out-of-print books held by the Mocavo family-history website. It may be that he is doing nothing wrong. Perhaps someone who knows more about spam rules could check this out. I am talking to him on User_talk:Elshrimpbucket. Here (ref. 1) is an example of a citation via Movavo. AWhiteC (talk) 20:07, 10 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    I would like a second opinion on these edits, let me know what you think. -SFK2 (talk) 07:44, 13 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    The domain is a scraper site e.g. ([3] was scraped from [4]) and is hence pure spam. MER-C 07:54, 13 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
