This account has about 50 edits so far. About half of them are inserting various links to spam sites. He has made a few worthwhile contributions, for example to GS1. No helpful response to any of my comments to him that his links are unwanted. I assume that posting to WP:AIV is not appropriate since this is not strictly a spam-only account.

I haven't reported this here before because I viewed it as a content dispute (and it probably still is, although the IP refuses to discuss the issue and just keeps re-adding the link.) The link is a support forum which doesn't meet WP:EL, the site itself is a portal of sorts on issues relating to pregnancy, childbirth & parenthood. Based on Alexa.com, it would appear the site is somehow related to Johnson & Johnson - possibly a corporate sponsor. It has a fairly high Alexa ranking, appears in Google directory's list of top sites on the subject and the IPs appear to belong to private ISPs - so I'm guessing it isn't COI spam.    
   
There has been a slow revert war going on since December on Stretch marks, which led to the page being semi-protected this morning, then this afternoon - one of the IPs added the same link to Pregnancy. I'm not sure there is much we can do, I'm just recording this here for posterity. --Versageek 20:28, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

The first two, mapsofworld.com and mapsofindia.com, are taking some time because they are often used as inline cited references, occasionally in Featured Articles.

See My report page for more details.
Please keep an eye out for similar sites on food related articles (there appear to be dozens).  They tend to be fairly similar, generally fluffy and lacking any in depth or serious treatment (though they may make scientific claims), and often say "hosted by Kellen" or give a Kellen address for contacting on the website.   They generally, though not always, use a .org top level domain.
