That's an interesting bunch of posts. I've pre-emptively salted one where the company name was in the posting. They weren't all trying to commission spam though. Some of them are for using Wikipedia, including a mirror for mobile apps, others for creating Wikipedia like stuff including one chap who seems to want a wiki. Might be worth keeping an eye on in case more of them let slip their identities.
