Editing Eurovision Wiki:Administrators' noticeboard (section)

== Arno Tausch spam cleanup ==

There is a great deal of literature cited to [[Arno Tausch]] on Wikipedia. Most seem to have been added by IPs and socks of [[User:Thomas Bernhard 1945]], particularly under the account of [[Special:Contributions/Austrian political observer]]. I also noticed that an account called [[Special:Contributions/John de Norrona]] has had a propensity to cite Tausch disproportionaltely, which I will flag for SPI.

This is a fairly clear case of [[WP:SELFPROMOTION]], and help cleaning this stuff up would be appreciated. &#32;<span style="font-variant:small-caps; whitespace:nowrap;">[[User:Headbomb|Headbomb]] {[[User talk:Headbomb|t]] · [[Special:Contributions/Headbomb|c]] · [[WP:PHYS|p]] · [[WP:WBOOKS|b]]}</span> 07:33, 19 March 2026 (UTC)

*There is exactly 69 articles that need cleaning up, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=insource%3A%22Tausch%22+insource%3A%22Arno%22&title=Special%3ASearch&profile=advanced&fulltext=1&ns0=1 <span style="color:blue; font-variant:small-caps; font-family:Avenir,Arial,Comic Sans MS">[[User:MolecularPilot|'''M'''olecular'''P'''ilot]] [[User talk:MolecularPilot|<sub>'''T'''alk</sub>]]</span> 07:56, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
*:Thanks, I thought I linked the search, but I guess I had it opened on a seperate window. It was 71 earlier, but I/someone else probably cleaned a few already. Note that it's possible some of those are good citations. But most were added by promotional accounts as far as I can tell. &#32;<span style="font-variant:small-caps; whitespace:nowrap;">[[User:Headbomb|Headbomb]] {[[User talk:Headbomb|t]] · [[Special:Contributions/Headbomb|c]] · [[WP:PHYS|p]] · [[WP:WBOOKS|b]]}</span> 08:00, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
