Evidence

In reviewing my watchlist, I noticed an apparent pattern of unusually rapid and very focused edits by a small set of users to several related articles. All four accounts (plus one anonymous IP address) appear to be single purpose accounts and/or sock puppets with a modus operandi of removing [1] [2] [3] [4] and/or replacing [5] legitimate links with spam links to the http://www.alinti.it website [6] [7] [8] [9]. Additionally, as Seven Wonders of the World is watched very closely for spam and vandalism, it seems that a new sock -Pegasus76- was registered, immediately used to fix [10] the previous sock's incomplete link deletion, performed an obvious act of vandalism [11] (by deleting two-thirds of the See also section), and was then immediately reverted [12] by the original IP address -87.17.210.177- ... which was enough to obfuscate all the previous edits from casual watchlist observation or recent-changes patrol.

Comments
