Hello and welcome to my talk page! If you have a question, ask me. If I know the answer, I'll tell you; if I don't, I'll find out (or one of my talk-page stalkers might know!), then we'll both have learnt something!

Unblock request

Latest comment: 1 year ago3 comments2 people in discussion

There's an unblock request at User talk:SilverBullet X, for a block you imposed. I am in favour of lifting the block, but perhaps you can have a look at it and see what you think. The block was, in my opinion 100% right, but the editor has done about as good a job as I have ever seen of showing an acceptance that what he did was wrong and indicating that he won't do the same again. Of course the fact that he says so doesn't prove that he won't, but I can't see any reason for not giving him a chance to prove that he means it (or show that he doesn't, and needs to be reblocked). Any thoughts? JBW (talk) 21:28, 18 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

@JBW that seems a reasonable request. No objection to you unblocking. Apologies for the tardy response. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 10:36, 21 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thanks. I'll go ahead. 👍 JBW (talk) 10:41, 21 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Anon IP hoaxish-disruptive

Latest comment: 1 year ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Hi hi. I noted today your block of from Oct 23, 2023, likewise a similar block of Favonian of June this year. This appears to be the same disruptive editor I encountered a few weeks back - I encountered these IPs 2603:7000:5F00:3E19:8634:2711:2DCF:F22F, 2603:7000:5F00:3E19:265:17CB:ACEA:5EEA, 2603:7000:5F00:3E19:957:73ED:665F:AEE1, 2600:1017:B806:6428:CC04:FDFF:FE25:F3F0, 2600:1017:B819:2CE0:CD3:32FF:FE50:2D18, 2603:7000:5F00:3E19:E3B5:DE09:7C54:B558, 2607:FA49:5241:5D00:71A3:22AC:1D12:3489. The pattern of editing is similar, seemingly getting a kick out of editing vast number of pages and adding factoids arbitrarily. Most of it is just nuisance edits, but some of it becomes WP:HOAX such as his edits at Wesh Zalmian.

Is there a SPI or ANI case where this was reviewed? Is there any past block or ban decision that can be referred to in a SPI or ANI report when new IPs from the same user appears? -- Soman (talk) 13:32, 22 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Special:Contributions/102.67.77.155

Hi @HJ Mitchell. You blocked 102.67.77.42 on few days ago. But they are currently using 102.67.77.155 with the same pattern. Can you take a look and block range of 102.67.76.0/22, regards. AmritR012 (talk) 17:36, 24 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

@AmritR012 I've blocked the/22 for a month but I doubt that will stop someone so obsessive. Let me know if they get round it, otherwise I'm guessing I'll need to renew it in just over a month's time. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 18:47, 24 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

User:Rverything works for us all

Thank you for blocking User:Rverything works for us all - could you please remove their User talk page access as well? Thanks - Arjayay (talk) 10:09, 26 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Arjayay done. I had a feeling that might be necessary. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 10:19, 26 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Your block of Swostika Neupane

Latest comment: 1 year ago7 comments2 people in discussion

Thanks for blocking the ref-spammer. It looks like there's some sockpuppetry going on here. Himalayan00 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) has been posting the same group of tour-guide related websites, as have a bunch of IPV6 addresses. 10mmsocket (talk) 15:53, 26 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

I'm putting a SPI report together at the moment. 10mmsocket (talk) 16:06, 26 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
...thanks for the block 10mmsocket (talk) 16:07, 26 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
@10mmsocket I'm not surprised. Where there's one spammer, there's normally more. I'll run a CU when I get chance. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 16:09, 26 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
@10mmsocket Found a few more. They're sharing some pretty broad ranges with lots of other editors, including good-faith contributors, so I'm loathe to make large range blocks. I'll blacklist the domains though. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 16:57, 26 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Here's the list of links involved. Probably more.
And here's the list of IP's and users
These are also likely involved
Happy to pull all this together as an SPI if you would rather me do that. 10mmsocket (talk) 17:04, 26 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
And one more
Thanks. 10mmsocket (talk) 17:07, 26 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
