Like this or that. Some of edits are normal, but it is difficult to isolate them from spam. Alex Spade (talk) 09:36, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

Vikashkrp

In the majority of their edits Vikashkrp either refspammed a link to roarwap.com or to rmcedu.com depending on whether it's a business or university related article. – NJD-DE (talk) 12:19, 2 September 2021 (UTC)

valentinosdisplays.com

Based on a couple of these IPs being blocked as proxies and all geolocating to various parts of the world, proxies are likely being used to spam this site. Apparition11 Complaints/Mistakes 16:36, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

I'm doubtful that this is really link abuse or spam, but it certainly needs cleaning up. There have been over fifty additions of this link to the external links sections of various articles: see the link searches in the above link summary. Looking through the site itself, I don't see any reason for it to be used as an external link anywhere, and a mass removal may be needed. Perryprog (talk) 20:43, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

@Perryprog: removed most of the EL based on linksearch. Special:Contribs/Kaydub15 seems to have added a lot of the previous transclusions. Sennecaster (Chat) 13:55, 9 September 2021 (UTC)

Posting to generate a COIBot report on this domain. From what I've learnt so far, this is a PR/SEO company that generates "profiles" for their clients, and has found their way into several articles. Pahunkat (talk) 12:36, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
