    The spammer replaced internal Wikilinks with external links to justia.com on several landmark Supreme Court cases and lists of SCOTUS volumes (see contribs), using one username for one case or list each. --bender235 (talk) 15:08, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Awesome. I've filed a SPI for you: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/PrimaryFunction. It's a worthwhile reference, so  Defer to XLinkBot for now. MER-C 10:34, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    When I clicked on this link to verify that it was a legitimate change it caused my computer to go nuts so I reverted the entry. This may be the only time that it has been added to an article, but, I am posting this to try and prevent it causing problems elsewhere on wikipedia. Also this is the first time that I have reported an item to this page so if I have done anything in error please let me know so that I can be more efficient in the future. MarnetteD | Talk 13:28, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    I realize that they only added this EL once which may not fit the definition of spam but it created such havoc on my computer that I thought that it was important to make the wikipedia powers that be aware of it. If there is a better place to report this please let me know about that also. Thanks for your time. MarnetteD | Talk 13:44, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Self published blog containing excessive amounts of advertisements. The site also heavily promotes "how to make money on your own business site" type of content. Each account has been warned multiple times, and one was blocked at one point due to linkspamming [61], which they continued after the block expired. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 16:28, 5 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
