Editing Eurovision Wiki:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard (section)

== PredMarkWik ==

{{User|PredMarkWik}} has been repeatedly adding links to various [[Prediction Market]] wikis on several articles. Their only other changes have been some miscellaneous "cleanups" (eg. converting double spaces to single spaces) that weren't meaningful contributions. The initial links were being added to External Links sections, and now are being included as dubious citations. There has been some discussion on [[Talk:Polymarket#Proposed_external_link:_Polyguana]] and their talk page, but they don't seem to be particularly interested in conversation, and it's spread across enough articles that discussing it on each talk page seems difficult. 

Based on the account's name and the singular focus of their edits, I am strongly suspicious that this account has a conflict of interest with the linked prediction market wikis.

For whatever it's worth, I also have some suspicions that the user is an AI. Their contributions have been highly repetitive and have sometimes involved adding duplicates of the same text repeatedly across multiple changes, for example [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kalshi&diff=1342856517&oldid=1342406590]. 

Sorry if this is the wrong forum for this, I wasn't entirely sure but it seemed like the correct place.

:Good place to bring it to start, thanks for posting.  I share your concerns.  I reverted the remaining wiki additions this article has made, and left a warning on the user's talk page, we'll see how things progress.  If the behavior continues, best approach would probably to start a thread at [[WP:ANI]], best way to get an admin to block this account if necessary.  I'll keep an eye on them.

:Took a further look at the account's edit history, and it looks like they made a dozen or so single character edits (removing double spaces and the like) to get over the ten edit requirement to become autoconfirmed and be able to directly publish the [[Hyperliquid]] article without going through AFC.
