Hi, can you block 27.5.12.220 ( talk · contribs · WHOIS)? It's clearly the same one as 27.5.9.213 ( talk · contribs · WHOIS), which you already blocked. As it was previously, all their edits are blatant vandalism. Urbanoc ( talk) 10:09, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
Some of those diffs may need a revdel too. Thanks for assisting with the block. Patient Zero talk 02:20, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

Godlike productions I would love to see the old deleted pages please? I'd really like to re-make the page anyhow, as they do have better references by now, but again, would love to see what was deleted way back then as the website has been online since the 90's and the original owner name Elaine is someone I would love to mention in article.

Dear Alexf: I am 80 years old, and each year I have checked the Wiki page written about me out of curiosity. And each year I am upset by the sins of omission on that page, including numerous honors and awards (veriable), not the least of which is my involvement in founding the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War, which received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1985, the latter having been amply documented in the media. I understand now your Conflict of Interest policy to a certain extent, and feel I am powerless to to correct the record. What do you advise? Is there nothing I can do?

Hello,
Would you be able to please help with this user User talk:Bazzascott1234. I am asking you because you have dealt with this person previously.
This user has been repeatedly adding unsourced and nonsensical claims to Bongani Khumalo, and has failed to provide any citations, for example here https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Bongani_Khumalo&diff=1120194069&oldid=1120194012. It appears he is using the page for some kind of promotion of a very minor youtube channel.
Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Mr Stroganoff ( talk) 12:55, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
Hello Alex! I'm a bit confused as to why you blocked this user. They made 1 edit (which they were warned for) and then made no other edits. They also don't have any abuse filter logs. I'm always told blocks are meant to be preventative and not punitive so I'm a bit perplexed as to why you blocked a user who made 1 edit. I'm not asking you to unblock them since I have no problems with the block itself, just want to understand why you blocked. ― Blaze Wolf TalkBlaze Wolf#6545 17:10, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

Hi Alexf, I find this odd, as the page was solely about a band/musical artist (promoting Spotify links and such). This led me to think that it would be shared by that band for a promotional purpose. What are your thoughts on this? Silikonz (alt) 💬 00:51, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

Hi Alexf, due to their strange insistence and this diff, I think we may be dealing with a good-faith case of original research and a severe conflict of interest. For this reason, I'd like to convert Jside1846's block to one that isn't for vandalism but rather meant to enforce the use of one account, and I'd like to modify the protection reason to "persistent addition of unsourced content". Would that be okay? ~ ToBeFree ( talk) 19:42, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
Hello, I need some third opinion regarding a reliable source. I tried posting my request in the RS noticeboard, but nothing great came out of it. To be honest, we never reached a consensus. So I wanted to ask if you're any expert of sort that can help me guide and point out why this can't be used as a RS?
I have a link to the archived discussion if you're interested. Thanks ✠ Rejoy2003 ✠ (contact) 07:28, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for the block of 2001:16A2:E502:4948:E187:417A:F454:25E3, but they are on a /64 range and since you blocked them, they have already jumped over to multiple new IPs in that range and resumed their disruptive editing. Would you extend the block to the /64?
