Increased rate of spamming at WP:RD/H
[edit]- Wikipedia:Reference desk/Humanities (edit | visual edit | history) · [[Talk:Wikipedia:Reference desk/Humanities|Article talk]] (edit | history) · Watch
Since last few days spamming/ vandalism by ip at WP:RD/H seems to have become daily affair.
Though ip's spam/ vandalism is getting timely reverted, I suppose it's better this notice board is aware. Bookku (talk) 10:35, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
- That appears to be one or two LTAs amusing themselves. I did not see spam in the sense used here. If I missed it, please post a date/time or diff. I blocked one IP. Johnuniq (talk) 10:47, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

- Nice catch. I went through and either reverted back to the images they replaced or removed the brand name from the descriptions of the ones without previous images. Apparition11 Talk/Contribs 01:15, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
