Suspicious new articles (5 November)[edit]

The spammers aren't trying too hard this time around. Have at it! MER-C 13:00, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

Bump to keep these up for six weeks. MER-C 13:00, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

Suspicious new articles (19 November)[edit]

Let the feeding frenzy begin. MER-C 16:21, 17 November 2019 (UTC)

@MER-C: The Journal of Surveying Engineering is published by the American Society of Civil Engineers and the article was created by an editor who works in their publications department. Even after being explicitly warned about our paid editing and COI policies, he or she has continued to create other articles about journals published by his or her employer i.e., Journal of Surveying Engineering, Journal of Architectural Engineering , Journal of Infrastructure Systems.

John Lennon mentioned on Greta Thunberg talk page[edit]

Please look here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Greta_Thunberg#Full_protection

It's arguably promoting John Lennon's work.

Thanks! MartiniShaw (talk) 21:21, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

@MartiniShaw: Conflating my usage of the John Lennon quote (which I used solely to express my utter dismay of the fixation upon Thunberg's bio) with promotion of John Lennon’s works validates my use of the quote because "Nobody told me there'd be days like these. Strange days indeed, most peculiar, Mama."Johnrichardhall (talk) 10:52, 1 December 2019 (UTC)

If there is a prize for the most fatuous nomination of 2019, this one must win it by a country mile. I know nothing and care less about the background, but this is irredeemably egregious time wasting. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 11:31, 1 December 2019 (UTC)

The nominator now has a 2-week block and an indefinite topic ban. Esowteric+Talk 11:37, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
