Recently spammed transpo related article(s). ☆ Bri (talk) 20:38, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

Blocked. There's a lot of coordinated UAE-related spam coming from Pakistan. This is probably part of the same campaign. I'll run a CU when I'm not on a phone. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 11:21, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Possible cite spam by User:WilliamZ7140

WilliamZ7140 is new account that showed up yesterday to add "Nutrition" sections to various articles about fish citing the same journal each time. One of the edit summaries left even seems to imply that GhatGPT might've been used for the edits. I've already asked about this at WT:FISH#23Nutritional information because the content of those sections might itself be a problem in addition to the problem of citations being added to section headings. The section heading problems have been cleaned up and the citations moved in-body, but I'm still concerned that this could be a case of WP:CITESPAM and an attempt to promote the website "Exact Scientific Services". -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:22, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

it doesn’t make sense for me to promote a study that was done 3 years ago 2600:1700:6F89:4000:C9B3:2B29:15C4:DBC1 (talk) 06:32, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
