Site belongs to Catholic Youtube commentary Taylor Marshall; currently used on 13 pages, including the subject's page. Spammed by at least three users recently; filing here to look for other COI patterns in history, which goes back a few years. OhNoitsJamie Talk 17:53, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

I was cleaning up Category:CS1 errors: empty citation and noticed both of these pages are listed in that category. Would I cause problems if I edited them to use {{tl}} rather than the actual citation template? I'm not familiar with the bot, so I figured I'd ask rather than breaking something ~ Matthewrb Talk to me · Changes I've made 00:04, 3 March 2022 (UTC)

DAO links?

I found a user, Hat0958 (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), spamming links to decentralized autonomous organizations on two articles; Carew Tower and Club Penguin (franchise).

The links are as follows:

The websites appear to be very similar in style, perhaps stating that they are operated by the same person. wizzito | say hello! 05:55, 3 March 2022 (UTC)

Hello. The following link is spam and should be removed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observer_Media#cite_note-19 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:98A:300:341:8572:D2D3:B1D0:D073 (talk) 14:20, 4 March 2022 (UTC)

I found an SPA user recently spamming this website as an external link in article bodies. It seems at least a couple of IPs have been adding the link recently as well.

The website itself doesn't seem commercial, but since the oldest post on the website seems to be from February 22, 2022, I assume it's someone hoping to spam the link to get foot traffic to their site. - Whisperjanes (talk) 06:40, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
