Ask and Learn Answers wiki

 * Wiki's URL: http://askandlearn.answers.wikia.com/wiki/Special:RecentChanges
 * Spammer: http://askandlearn.answers.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/173.214.208.203 http://askandlearn.answers.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/173.214.218.103 http://askandlearn.answers.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/216.109.10.90 http://askandlearn.answers.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/452513
 * Reason: A lot of Talk pages being created as well as pages with patterns of random characters in the page names. Examples: 945 a 946 b‎ and 959 dss 960 yyy 961 xxx 962 www. Also, many pages related to Barney the dinosaur and random lists of food. Both of these are edited usually within 20 minutes after creation to add more random text, such as lists of food, possibly from school menus. Some of the edits and page names include the URL of various schools and child care places around the United States, but a few of them are for schools in the same state as the IPs listed above. I am not sure if this is a bot being tested out or if it's a kid. More likely a kid, given how the information is being added and the timing of the edits.

Note: some of the edits by 173.214.208.203 include the name "Abby Varrica" in them, which I've traced to other wikis under the following IPs and accounts: - http://pacman.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/131.109.73.5 - http://simpsons.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/68.1.177.148 - http://simpsons.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/68.0.224.193 - http://simpsons.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/72.221.107.166 - http://simpsons.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/CathyVarrica - http://backtothefuture.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/CathyVarrica - http://barney.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/CathyVarrica - http://bluesclues.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/CathyVarrica - http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/CathyVarrica - http://strawberryshortcake.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/CathyVarrica - http://teletubbies.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/CathyVarrica

Unless a Checkuser report shows a match between CathyVarrica and 452513 or any of the IPs at the top, it may be a coincidence or a copycat. Either way, please clean up the Ask and Learn Answers wiki since its admin hasn't been there in over 2 years and his account appears to be globally blocked.

 * I have deleted all of the pages and put some blocks in place. I have found nothing conclusive that would show that this is related to this "Abby Varrica". Please let us know if you found anymore like this. ~ty  14:42, November 14, 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks for fixing that. It's good to know that it was coincidence that two separate people happened to make the same kind of edit. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 15:15, November 16, 2013 (UTC)

 * Wiki's URL: http://macross.wikia.com/wiki/Special:UnusedFiles?limit=500&offset=0
 * Spammer: http://macross.wikia.com/wiki/User:Queen_Armada
 * Reason: This is more of help with clean up, I am the admin of w:c:Macross and this user has since left to edit their own wiki but they made a lot of spam, fanfiction and irrelevant content when they were active on this one, to the point they were using it like it was their personal site, I can cope with editing spammed up articles I just need some assistance removing images on mass. For now, can you just delete all images uploaded by this user (if me or another user has replaced a file that Queen Armada originally uploaded then leave it alone). This wiki only has me and a couple of occasional helpers from our sister-site, w:c:Robotech editing we need more users at the moment. So if you could help remove images uploaded by Queen Armada on the Macross wiki, it would be great.
