@TonySt:  Added to MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist. I removed it from 3 more, and one was already reverted by someone else. Some edits destroy page layout. --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 08:13, 11 September 2025 (UTC)

Irish writer Eoghan Lyng is well known to wiki mods as someone who self edits repeatedly to promote his own work. He's also known to sockpuppet wiki discussion boards to make it seem as if he has supporters.

This is the current IP address he's hiding behind.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/31.193.221.194

Almost all edits are to promote himself, or to sabotage links to websites he's been fired from or has a personal grievance with. 2A00:23C4:2804:601:AD30:DE9F:CB8B:56D5 (talk) 06:09, 19 September 2025 (UTC)

I see that Anamika Vishwakarma 10 was the subject of Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Amansharma111/Archive § 25 November 2023. Courtesy ping to HJ Mitchell. — Newslinger talk 07:43, 19 September 2025 (UTC)

 Defer to Global blacklist, cross-wiki problem. — Newslinger talk 08:00, 19 September 2025 (UTC)

Spam for the spam gods! I'll have a look when I get chance, might be Sunday or Monday. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 11:42, 19 September 2025 (UTC)

@Newslinger I didn't find any accounts that weren't already blocked but I blocked some of the underlying IPs that were only being used by spammers. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 17:08, 21 September 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for looking into it, HJ Mitchell! — Newslinger talk 17:12, 21 September 2025 (UTC)

Global spam blacklist request was declined at m:Talk:Spam blacklist#nivabupa.com due to Niva Bupa being covered in a Wikipedia article and a Wikidata entry (d:Q6794622). — Newslinger talk 12:00, 25 September 2025 (UTC)

Citation spamming delayed discovery

Kinonishi (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · blacklist hits · AbuseLog · what links to user page · count · COIBot · Spamcheck · user page logs · x-wiki · status · Edit filter search · Google · StopForumSpam) This is a single purpose account with obvious intention of academic cite spamming where they're spamming their own publications into various articles. The spammer added their book into numerous articles as "reference" but did not really add anything of substance to the article. This went undiscovered for close to 20 years. The relevance is in that many of their spam insertions remain. I became aware of this account while investigation Ostrom (talk · contribs · count) Graywalls (talk) 23:25, 25 September 2025 (UTC)

Tedi Ticic

Tedi Ticic has no established claim to notability and lacks reliable references. Even the Croatian Wikipedia page about him was deleted for not meeting notability criteria. The English Wikipedia page was later recreated by a UPE editor and marked as reviewed by the same sockpuppet group using the account Hmr, which has reportedly attempted to influence various AfDs on behalf of clients. All sources cited are paid placements or guest posts, rather than independent, reliable coverage. Herinalian (talk) 12:17, 29 September 2025 (UTC)
