@50.238.195.134: I am not sure what specifically you are reporting (or why I am tagged)? That link isn't used in any articles or pages in the draft namespace on the English Wikipedia. The only place that it appears to be present is User:DeanJames89/sandbox and on User talk:DeanJames89, both of which I have never edited. --TheSandDoctor Talk 02:14, 1 April 2025 (UTC)

Ibooma

I've noticed several accounts and IP addresses inappropriately adding links to what appears to be a streaming site called ibomma. These appear to be single purpose accounts adding links to inappropriate articles[1][2] or incorporating blatantly promotional language.[3][4] Vegantics (talk) 21:55, 1 April 2025 (UTC)

Interesting. I'm running some checks and this spam farm is also responsible for 5guysmenu.com: Linksearch en (insource) - meta - de - fr - simple - wikt:en - wikt:fr • Spamcheck • blacklist hits • MER-C X-wiki • gs • Reports: Links on en - COIBot - COIBot-Local • Discussions: tracked - advanced - RSN • COIBot-Link, Local, & XWiki Reports - Wikipedia: en - fr - de • Google: search • meta • Domain: domaintools • AboutUs.com . I've blocked around four dozen spam accounts so far and there might be more blocks to come. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 13:50, 8 April 2025 (UTC)
@Vegantics: All four domains blocked. I made a couple of range blocks. That's all we can for now I think. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 14:02, 8 April 2025 (UTC)
@HJ Mitchell Agreed, thanks so much for doing it. I've been informally looking for more of this particular link and haven't seen any in the last week or so. Vegantics (talk) 14:17, 8 April 2025 (UTC)
