SEO Spammer[edit]
Another, will probably lead to more, [1] v/r - Seawolf35 T--C 05:50, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Seawolf35 as far as I can tell, that one is isolated (which is unusual) but the ranges they're on are vast. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 13:26, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
RevDel Please[edit]
Hi HJ, please RevDel this for obvious reasons. Nobody (talk) 13:52, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
- @1AmNobody24 because somebody hates me? Not really grossly offensive. If anything, I take it as a compliment! ;) HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 13:55, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
Poor edits and ban[edit]
Hey there, been looking at User:2600:1700:4006:B000:A5D0:D5FC:D17F:FD51, and I think you might have banned him unjustly. Not great edits, but definitely not vandalism. JackTheSecond (talk) 21:55, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
School vandal(s)?[edit]
Hi.
I saw you were the last of 3 admins to block this range (72.138.0.0/16) as a school block on the 12th of April of last year (expired recently). Is this still a school IP? I was looking at some IPs from the range, and honestly there's already been quite a few vandal edits in the last ~5 days since the block has expired.
I also found this appeal on the day it expired, where @Yamla says there is sockpuppetry involved: 1218609548). Just thought I should inform you of all this. – 143.208.237.220 (talk) 02:07, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
- Also 6 blocks on IPs in the range in the last 3 days:
- 72.138.79.170, 72.138.168.106,
- 72.138.79.10, 72.138.179.154,
- 72.138.65.26, 72.138.132.102.
- – 143.208.237.220 (talk) 02:30, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
- I've put a long-term soft block on that /16. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 10:53, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
Curious[edit]
What area is the target of this partial block? I don't see any defined parameters.-- Ponyobons mots 19:00, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
- What a fail on my part: this is the block I'm talking about.-- Ponyobons mots 19:01, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Ponyo it just means you can't create an account from that range. If you're asking because you want to do something else with the block, feel free! :) HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 19:10, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
- The range is being a total PITA today. Ugh.-- Ponyobons mots 19:18, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
- I know right! They were creating ... unhelpful accounts earlier (hence the block). There's way too much collateral for a hard block but if you wanted to make it anon only/account creation blocked for a little while feel free. We can always put the partial block back later.

What are my chances of passing an RfA?[edit]
I've been dealing with vandalism for a while, such as warning editors, sometimes reverting edits, and checking the abuse log, and have even made some reports to AIV which were responded to by a block. I'm curious what my chances of passing an RfA are. Faster than Thunder (talk | contributions) 14:23, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) Hello @Faster than Thunder! I am not an admin, but I doubt that you would pass RfA. Many RfA voters are looking for candidates with 10k+ edits, and you have less than 2000, most of which are semi-automated. Also, what would you use the tools for? —asparagusus (interaction) sprouts! 14:39, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
