Long-running canvassing by at least two users; I suspect there may be others. Posting here to get COI report. OhNoitsJamie Talk 18:40, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

One of my first edits as a new user was to "un-peacock" this article, which is mostly primary sourced from the corporate website. It has since been reverted to its original state by RaychetaSingh (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), an account which shares the name of the company's head of marketing and Ecommerce (see https://www.justerinis.com/contact-us). This account's sole activity on WP consists of editing this page to restore said content, which is a close paraphrase of their corporate website.

@Just Another Cringy Username: I'm thinking Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard would be a better place to raise your concerns regarding this account. –FlyingAce✈hello 05:19, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

neoimpressionism.net

User:GeoffreySmithUK (not active since 2020) sees to have been an SPA, adding external links to a website https://neoimpressionism.net/, a blog by someone with the same name.

A typical insertion took the form:

* Paul Signac: Article on [https://neoimpressionism.net/signac-plane-trees-place-des-lices/ ''Plane Trees, Place des Lices, Saint Tropez''] at [https://neoimpressionism.net/ NeoImpressionism.net]

so there were actually two links; and in some cases two or three such additions on a single article.

Significantly, no other edotor seems to have sued this site, either as an external link or a reference source.

I've been removing them as spam, and wanted to check that was the right thing to do; and whether the site should be blacklisted? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 18:31, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

Seems to be mostly making promotional edits relating to the government of Oman and its interests. Regards, MrsSnoozyTurtle 10:01, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
