IP address range 112.198.112.X[edit]
This range of IP addresses in the Philippines has been extensively spamming articles about crabs in the family Lithodidae (king crabs). This specifically includes e.g. 112.198.112.226, 112.198.112.167, 112.198.112.172, and 112.198.98.123 (the latter being in the 98.X range, but they're predominantly coming from 112.X, and more than one Class C range seems like overkill).

- Update – Editor has been blocked elsewhere for sockpuppeting. Will keep the report here since I'm unsure if I'm supposed to remove it. TheTechnician27 (Talk page) 21:19, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

Two competing website hosts of the Ya-Sin text. On the Ya-Sin article, there has been repeated edit warring to include or remove both links in the External links section, primarily performed by single-purpose accounts including SurahYaseen111 (talk · contribs), who was blocked for being a promotion-/advertising-only account. Neither of these websites are official links, and the Wikisource external link wikisource:The Holy Qur'an (Maulana Muhammad Ali)/36. Ya Sin already provides the text of Ya-Sin. — Newslinger talk 03:51, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

Spaming works from the same author (Roger Woodward) in many articles.
Also, possible COI. Lots of edits in Roger Woodward and List of Roger Woodward's principal first performances, recordings, and publications Gor1995 𝄞 09:46, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
- The book contains first hand testimony about those composers.
- I made other editions like Richard Toop and other relevant avant-garde musicians and composers.
- The Roger Woodward page is just another project. Lpro93 (talk) 22:16, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
