- @50.238.195.134: I am not sure what specifically you are reporting (or why I am tagged)? That link isn't used in any articles or pages in the draft namespace on the English Wikipedia. The only place that it appears to be present is User:DeanJames89/sandbox and on User talk:DeanJames89, both of which I have never edited. --TheSandDoctor Talk 02:14, 1 April 2025 (UTC)

I've noticed several accounts and IP addresses inappropriately adding links to what appears to be a streaming site called ibomma. These appear to be single purpose accounts adding links to inappropriate articles[3][4] or incorporating blatantly promotional language.[5][6] Vegantics (talk) 21:55, 1 April 2025 (UTC)
