Substantial cross-wiki spamming of Ukrainian or Russian origin. Don't have the time to investigate fully right now. MER-C 16:07, 18 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

And there the sockmaster reveals themselves. Guess who? Wikibusines. (The article was en:Khanza). MER-C 19:29, 18 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
Also overlaps with en:Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Drug15243/Archive. MER-C: Where is that relation to Wikibusines? MarioGom (talk) 21:08, 18 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
As always, look at the files. MER-C 21:10, 18 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
Oops. Missed the link to en:Khanza. MarioGom (talk) 21:17, 18 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
Can you specify for non-admin what was the connection to WB in the content or behaviour, please. Anntinomy (talk) 15:51, 20 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
If you look at File:Ханза.jpg and File:Ханза концерт.jpg you will see something familiar. MER-C 17:07, 20 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

@MER-C, I feel we should have a private mailing list as well. Once someone files a report, or reports something here, they can easily drop an email to the list, and everyone will get alerted. The un-attended issues here can be seen, and I feel this page is not watched by everyone, just feeling. What do you think? ─ The Aafī (talk) 19:44, 8 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
Possibly yes, but remember that watchlists and watchlist feeds to email are useful for both monitoring this page and also detecting cross-wiki spam. I don't want to hand out knowledge of my email address to all and sundry. MER-C 18:01, 9 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

Some respamming found. I was originally mistaken - this is not Wikibusines. MER-C 10:01, 16 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

@MarioGom and Eptalon: spam cleanup and possible CU requested. Thanks. MER-C 10:03, 16 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
The Moscow institute was respammed by КоролеваБалла (CA · xwiki · sc · COIBot report) and НовыйГодЛюбви (CA · xwiki · sc · COIBot report). MER-C 16:31, 21 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

More w:Becker (brand) spamming by DoshirakLu (CA · xwiki · sc · COIBot report)

There are a few suspicious accounts but I cannot conclusively determine they are Papa2004. MER-C 13:46, 18 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
