This user has repeatedly added original research to numerous Godzilla related articles, even if it contradicts provided references. His edits have been REPEATEDLY undone, and he's been warned on his talk page. He seems impervious to any argument, as he refuses to even respond. He shows no inclination to stopping, therefore, an administrative action seems appropriate.Dark hyena (talk) 07:48, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

This isn't a spam problem - spam involves the insertion of promotional material or links in violation of Wikipedia's mission. You have a content dispute. The fiction noticeboard seems to be a more appropriate place for reporting this stuff. MER-C 08:25, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

User systematically adds warez sites to existing articles, nearly always replacing existing links with his own. Every single edit made by user is spam-related. He has even added a spam-site articles Sharingaccess, which will be submitted for review, and a previous, Downloadwarez that was already Speedily deleted. User is warned and reverted after each attempt, then waits a few weeks to add the sites back. Samples: [1] [2] Rurik (talk) 20:28, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

istild.com/man-pages/

I'm watching Manual page (Unix) at the moment in the repositories list. I'm not even sure if this is classed as link spam, vandalism, or difference of editor opinion. I've been trying to group the various repositories into some sort of alpha order, but numerous IP only edits move this one link further up the list on a regular basis, despite a clear banner saying this will be treated as vandalism.

This is the only repository that moves, and it moves on an irregularly regular basis. I keep reverting it to alpha order, but...

So I'd like someone experienced in link spam to take a look, please. Diffs? Heck, just look at history!
