Endogear promoter

This account seems to exist to promote a motorcycle clothing website "endogear.com" [1][2][3]. ☆ Bri (talk) 15:19, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

WhatsApp (chat.whatsapp.com)

I don't think there's any legitimate reason to include a link to a WhatsApp group chat on a Wikipedia article. — Newslinger talk 13:27, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

Michael Gallie & Partners

Serenablack514 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · blacklist hits · AbuseLog · what links to user page · count · COIBot · user page logs · x-wiki · status · Edit filter search · Google · StopForumSpam) User edited a variety of articles (Theatre Royal, Drury Lane ‎ Chelsea Barracks One Kemble Street ‎ The Dorchester Royal Albert Hall ) inserting information on Michael Gallie & Partners and the work that the company did. Talk page looks like they have been warned of this in the past. All now reverted, but unsure what happens next. Reporting, as seemed the best thing to do.

Site appears to be used mainly for hosting fake news items for spammy subjects. The "about us": asserts it is a city-specific blog, no official status, no editor or individual authorship named and DNS record is anonymized. Site icon indicates this is a Wordpress blog. - Bri.public (talk) 17:09, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

Waiting for the report, this has to be on XLinkBot's revertlists. --Dirk Beetstra T C 06:17, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
It is there, but this report is a useful reminder regarding the spamming of the site. --Dirk Beetstra T C 06:22, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

Anonymous IPv6 user added XXX link

@VitalKanev: plus Added to MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist. Thanks for reporting this. — Newslinger talk 14:06, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
I would submit this to the global spam blacklist, but the COIBot report for this domain appears to have been disabled for almost a decade, and I'm not sure if this domain has recently been spammed on other wikis. — Newslinger talk 14:09, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
The new COIBot report is available. Surprisingly, some of the recent link additions on other wikis might be defensible, so I am not submitting this domain to the global spam blacklist at this time. — Newslinger talk 10:35, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

I've blocked the account doing the spam and reverted most of it, waiting on a COIBot update to see whether anyone else has spammed this lately. GeneralNotability (talk) 16:03, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
