More vandalism and self promotion from Eoghan Lyng

this new account belongs to Eoghan Lyng, known to moderators as someone who persistently edits articles to promote his own work at either the DMovies blog or churnalism from Far Out or Spectrum Culture.

it's clearly him as it follows the usual pattern of promoting himself and also removing any new references he finds to sites from which he's previously been fired.

Not really spam in the sense that we're concerned with here. If they return, AIV or ANI might be better. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 11:52, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

Their sandbox. --Seawolf35 ^T--C 06:49, 29 December 2025 (UTC)

@Seawolf35 Blocked. The Dubai connection is interesting (spoiler alert: they're not in Dubai), but CU didn't show up anything interesting. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 12:03, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

Spammed in the typical minor edit with no summary manner. --Seawolf35 ^T--C 03:32, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

@Seawolf35: Blocked. No other hits for that domain but it fits the pattern for SEO and tour guide sites are a favourite. I'd say they're more than  Likely connected to

Spamming a blog site. Probably just promoting their own blog but it fits the SEO pattern. --Seawolf35 ^T--C 16:50, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

Probably just self-promo but worth keeping an eye on in case they resurface. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 22:18, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

Link spam on proxies. --Seawolf35 ^T--C 21:37, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

@Seawolf35 huh, Bangladesh; normally I get Pakistan! Proxy blocked but not much more to be done as the link has only appeared once. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 22:17, 2 January 2026 (UTC)
