I've noticed that for many months there has been a large block on AT&T users. I assume that this is because of a troll who keeps reappearing.
107.77.192.0/19 is 8,192 IP addresses. I don't know how many users that represents, but it is a very large number.
I know there is a trade off whenever issuing a block; how many people and days are we willing to block in order to stop one the problem user.
I just want to voice that there are a lot of dolphins snared in this tuna net and we have been for a long time. āĀ Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.186.185.122 ( talk) 01:23, 20 March 2019 (UTC)

Hello Berean Hunter. It's been over a year since you made this /32 hard-block. There's been a complaint on Wikipedia Weekly (the Facebook group) that, contrary to your blocking comment that this "is indeed an open proxy", what you have blocked is actually an entire ISP in Bangladesh. The collateral damage seems to be significant enough to move away from the hard-block.
I wonder if you would be kind enough to consider reducing the /32 block to anon-only, account creation permitted, and user talk editing permitted, and restrict the hard blocks to 1-year or shorter duration blocks on /64 subnets where misuse of Wikipedia is actually observed?

Administrators
must secure their accounts
The Arbitration Committee may require a new RfA if your account is compromised.

This message was sent to all administrators following a recent motion. Thank you for your attention. For the Arbitration Committee, Cameron11598 02:47, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
ArbCom would like to apologise and correct our previous mass message in light of the response from the community.
Since November 2018, six administrator accounts have been compromised and temporarily desysopped. In an effort to help improve account security, our intention was to remind administrators of existing policies on account security ā that they are required to "have strong passwords and follow appropriate personal security practices." We have updated our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, two-factor authentication remains an optional means of adding extra security to your account. The choice not to enable 2FA will not be considered when deciding to restore sysop privileges to administrator accounts that were compromised.
We are sorry for the wording of our previous message, which did not accurately convey this, and deeply regret the tone in which it was delivered.
For the Arbitration Committee, - Cameron11598 21:03, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

Safeersmak stands solely as a promotional account for actor Mammootty. First edit itself was for adding the term "Megastar" in his article - diff1, diff2. Added the term in Mammootty filmography while logged out. Rearranged cast in Twenty:20 (film) - diff3, diff4, diff5, the most suspicious edit.

Good day User:Berean Hunter!
I dropped by to seek your help with regard to User:Albe23413. A month ago you have blocked him for unconstructive editing, now he is at it again over on the pages Ang Probinsyano and List of Ang Probinsyano episodes. I've advised him to do his edits on the sandbox first if he is unsure of his edits or at the very least talk it over with me before publishing his edits, but my pleas have fallen on deaf ears. On the aforementioned pages, there is a very clear instruction that episode count is to be updated WEEKLY, and not daily, but Albe23413 disregards that and updates it daily in derogation of the instructions for that entry in the page. I surmise that he is doing the same in order to raise his edit count enough to become an extended confirmed user. I believe that his first blocking didn't teach him the lesson intended and it is high time he gets sanctioned for his offenses.

Hi there!Ā :)
I found out Iām blocked from editing, which is rather surprising. Since Iām a bit of a naturally curious bookworm, and not particularly computer savvy, I just was curious as to why I am blocked. The only edits I seem to do are for punctuation, grammar, and clarity (unless, of course, Iām tipsy...lol, jk). But seriously, I was wondering if I must be violating something without realizing it...? I will sayā¦ I actually think itās kind of cool and fascinating that someone as āboring as meā can be blocked, which makes me appreciate the integrity of Wikipedia!Ā :) Anyway, in all sincerity, Iām just curious why I was blocked, because I literally donāt know what I would have violated (especially because Iām so boring, and frankly, Iām just doing standard proofreading and copyediting about some rather āquietā, arcane topics). Thanks so much, and have a great day!
Take careĀ :) āĀ Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.168.151.197 ( talk) 23:50, 3 September 2019 (UTC)

Hi. It seems you uncovered a case of sockpuppetry on visa related articles. I am not surprised about this given the high amount of vandalism and trolling recently.

Hey, Berean Hunter! I saw user Asbosaurus is blocked for being a puppet of FightingForRight, and that you'd marked it 'likely' a sock. Are you allowed to tell me if that means they were actually editing from the same IP? The reason I'm wondering is that the writing/complaints seem different to me, and the timing on the Asbosaurus account almost seems like they made that first edit and then wandered off, not realizing for nearly six months that they'd been blocked. -- valereee ( talk) 13:32, 28 September 2019 (UTC)

Yesterday I undid an edit of yours to this page [24], where you undid an edit of a sock puppet, who undid a badly laid out edit (2 months ago), and now today I come back to the page to make a new edit and I find that you've accused me of being a sock puppet and locked the page so that I can't edit it. Why would you do this?
The first time you made the edit it was bad enough (because you didn't actually review the edit you were undoing, which was simply reverting a badly laid out edit made by IP address 95.40.157.6), but your second edit was even more egregious, because even when another user (i.e. me) comes across the page 2 months later, realises that your last edit only added junk to the page and undoes your edit, instead of actually looking at the edit the new user made or their edit history, you immediately revert their edit, accuse them of being a sock puppet and lock the page.
Here's the link to the relevant section of the page after I made my edit [25], and after you undid it [26]. As you can see, by undoing my edit all you have done is add unformatted junk to the end of the appetite stimulants section. Next time preview your edit before making it. 218.214.175.194 ( talk) 04:35, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

US Banknote Contest | ||
---|---|---|
November-December 2019 | ||
There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons. In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate. If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here |

While reviewing my talk page and going through notes left by my predecessors I noticed an address that had previously been checkuserblocked by you, [28], had resumed editing. Some of the edits seemed problematic (for example [29]), but I don't consider myself anywhere near knowledgeable enough yet to judge whether it is the same person, or if I should report it to Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism, so I was thinking you should have a look at it as an expert. 2604:2000:8FC0:4:617F:E9A7:AF1C:4546 ( talk) 05:15, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
Hi morning , I have been blocked from editing an article or whole wikipedia for 24 days by you . I want to know why did you block me from and why you are not correcting facts in two articles which are very serious and presenting false . I am pointing about two article one is about Islamic calphiate in which in sub paragraph Ahmediya community which is a non muslim minority is presented as muslim. 2nd article is also about ahmediya community where they declared themselves as muslim by the author which wrong and misuse of copywriter and basic rights of actual and real muslim community and religion . I have full right to take suitable action including legal actions if these wrong facts were not corrected. Because by pretending and presenting somoen who is non Muslim as Muslim is actually digital robbery of their identity . If you need to know about difference facts and reality Bout this this minority group ' Muslim and th Christian. You actually need to read facts from history when first that ghulam Ahmed qadyani have declared himself as Jesus Christ Peace Be Upon Him. Also when he was defeated by one Paster in sub continent and then his wrong announcements about the death of that paster which was also failed . There are so many historical facts which are missing and need to corrects all these facts. I am hopeful to receive reasonable response and new about correcting the facts and rectification of mistake in those articles and lifting ban from my editing and rectifying facts on wikipedia.

Hi Berean Hunter, Could you revoke talk page access on a recent block you've made please?
I'm fine with blocked users pinging me asking for clarification on an action I've made but the third diff shows that IHTS isn't interested in discussing the merits or demerits of such decisions and instead wants to ping users to criticise them and then claim
ownership of the talk page. Blocked users shouldn't use the ping function as a means of venting, and looking at the page history it's clearly a continued abuse of their user talk page
. I'm posting here because an ANI thread would just be drama-filled and I would have to edit IHTS' talk page with the pro forma, which they don't want me to do.
Many thanks,

You deleted
Draft:Nichelle Rodriguez Under
G5. This page was created by
Lebronto23 on , 26 October 2019 at 06:31. The user was not blocked until 07:44, 3 November 2019, and was therefore not blocked at the time the page was created. G5 says This applies to pages created by banned or blocked users in violation of their ban or block, and that have no substantial edits by others.
and G5 goes on to say To qualify, the edit or page must have been made while the user was actually banned or blocked. A page created before the ban or block was imposed or after it was lifted will not qualify under this criterion.
In addition, that draft had been significantly edited by other editors, including
AKinderWorld and, to a lessor degree, myself. It was also under discussion at
Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Draft:Nichelle Rodriguez, where several editors, including myself and
Britishfinance, had expressed the opinion that it should be kept, although the block of the creator was mentioned in the nomination. The deletion was therefore out-of-process, and I ask that you restore the draft page promptly. Thank you.

I've noticed that for many months there has been a large block on AT&T users. I assume that this is because of a troll who keeps reappearing.

Hi, I've noticed you reverted the citation for the statement "Iqbal was elected from Dhaka-10 in 1996.", the current citation points to an article regarding underage driving by that person's nephew while I added the citation from Amir Desh Online of Election Parliament results. Can you please explain to me how is that irrelevant? Burair7 (talk) 14:14, 18 April 2019 (UTC)

Hello Berean Hunter. It's been over a year since you made this /32 hard-block. There's been a complaint on Wikipedia Weekly (the Facebook group) that, contrary to your blocking comment that this "is indeed an open proxy", what you have blocked is actually an entire ISP in Bangladesh. The collateral damage seems to be significant enough to move away from the hard-block.
I wonder if you would be kind enough to consider reducing the /32 block to anon-only, account creation permitted, and user talk editing permitted, and restrict the hard blocks to 1-year or shorter duration blocks on /64 subnets where misuse of Wikipedia is actually observed? Deryck C. 12:39, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

I hope you can help me, he's been quite active in the past few days, but since he's not attacked on existing articles, he went unnoticed.

Administrators
must secure their accounts
The Arbitration Committee may require a new RfA if your account is compromised.

This message was sent to all administrators following a recent motion. Thank you for your attention. For the Arbitration Committee, Cameron11598 02:47, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
ArbCom would like to apologise and correct our previous mass message in light of the response from the community.
Since November 2018, six administrator accounts have been compromised and temporarily desysopped. In an effort to help improve account security, our intention was to remind administrators of existing policies on account security ā that they are required to "have strong passwords and follow appropriate personal security practices." We have updated our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, two-factor authentication remains an optional means of adding extra security to your account. The choice not to enable 2FA will not be considered when deciding to restore sysop privileges to administrator accounts that were compromised.
We are sorry for the wording of our previous message, which did not accurately convey this, and deeply regret the tone in which it was delivered.
For the Arbitration Committee, - Cameron11598 21:03, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

I don't know if you can help, but this handful of edits by a new account show a very combative pattern, & considerable knowlege of WP policy etc. Unfortunately I can't suggest who he is socking for, & it might be a longer-term ip who's taken an account, but the pattern may suggest a sock-parent name to somebody. The stuff he is blanking with abandon (none of it mine) has some issues, but is not the gibberish he suggests. Johnbod ( talk) 15:14, 26 May 2019 (UTC)

Safeersmak stands solely as a promotional account for actor Mammootty. First edit itself was for adding the term "Megastar" in his article - diff1, diff2. Added the term in Mammootty filmography while logged out. Rearranged cast in Twenty:20 (film) - diff3, diff4, diff5, the most suspicious edit. Harirajmohanhrm was such an account blocked while edit-warring for rearranging cast. Then there was Mealwaysrockz007. I'm not sure which is the likely master.

Hello, Berean Hunter,
I use to forego notifying editors when I tagged empty categories because I thought editors were less invested in them than articles they created. But I angered one editor who took it to ANI and now I am!

Good day User:Berean Hunter!
I dropped by to seek your help with regard to User:Albe23413. A month ago you have blocked him for unconstructive editing, now he is at it again over on the pages Ang Probinsyano and List of Ang Probinsyano episodes. I've advised him to do his edits on the sandbox first if he is unsure of his edits or at the very least talk it over with me before publishing his edits, but my pleas have fallen on deaf ears. On the aforementioned pages, there is a very clear instruction that episode count is to be updated WEEKLY, and not daily, but Albe23413 disregards that and updates it daily in derogation of the instructions for that entry in the page. I surmise that he is doing the same in order to raise his edit count enough to become an extended confirmed user. I believe that his first blocking didn't teach him the lesson intended and it is high time he gets sanctioned for his offenses.
Warmest regards. Gardo Versace ( talk) 11:51, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

Hi there!Ā :)
I found out Iām blocked from editing, which is rather surprising. Since Iām a bit of a naturally curious bookworm, and not particularly computer savvy, I just was curious as to why I am blocked. The only edits I seem to do are for punctuation, grammar, and clarity (unless, of course, Iām tipsy...lol, jk). But seriously, I was wondering if I must be violating something without realizing it...? I will sayā¦ I actually think itās kind of cool and fascinating that someone as āboring as meā can be blocked, which makes me appreciate the integrity of Wikipedia!Ā :) Anyway, in all sincerity, Iām just curious why I was blocked, because I literally donāt know what I would have violated (especially because Iām so boring, and frankly, Iām just doing standard proofreading and copyediting about some rather āquietā, arcane topics). Thanks so much, and have a great day!
Take careĀ :) āĀ Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.168.151.197 ( talk) 23:50, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
Hey Berean Hunter, I got an email from Oddpencil30 (well, it didn't go through, but they sent something), about a range you blocked: CU will give it to you.

Hi. It seems you uncovered a case of sockpuppetry on visa related articles. I am not surprised about this given the high amount of vandalism and trolling recently. Nevertheless, some edits that were reverted by you were legitimate and I have reinstated them.

Hey, Berean Hunter! I saw user Asbosaurus is blocked for being a puppet of FightingForRight, and that you'd marked it 'likely' a sock. Are you allowed to tell me if that means they were actually editing from the same IP?

Yesterday I undid an edit of yours to this page [24], where you undid an edit of a sock puppet, who undid a badly laid out edit (2 months ago), and now today I come back to the page to make a new edit and I find that you've accused me of being a sock puppet and locked the page so that I can't edit it. Why would you do this?
The first time you made the edit it was bad enough (because you didn't actually review the edit you were undoing, which was simply reverting a badly laid out edit made by IP address 95.40.157.6), but your second edit was even more egregious, because even when another user (i.e. me) comes across the page 2 months later, realises that your last edit only added junk to the page and undoes your edit, instead of actually looking at the edit the new user made or their edit history, you immediately revert their edit, accuse them of being a sock puppet and lock the page.
Here's the link to the relevant section of the page after I made my edit [25], and after you undid it [26]. As you can see, by undoing my edit all you have done is add unformatted junk to the end of the appetite stimulants section.

Alright, uh, youāve blocked my mobile data IP address for sock puppetry? I sometimes donāt login on my phone to make edits, because sometimes I just want to make a quick edit while Iām just browsing Wikipedia. Iāve never had another account aside from this one on this address and if youāre going to ban me for āsock-puppetryā, Iād really love to see the proof of my personal phone IP being used in conjunction with a sock puppet account. Cheers. Naihreloe ( talk) 14:10, 17 October 2019 (UTC)
You were kind enough to block Special:Contributions/ŠŠ°ŃŠ»ŃŠ¶ŠµŠ½Š½ŃŠ¹_ŃŠ°ŃŠøŃŃ on 18 September 2019 as a sockpuppet.
An IP editor Special:Contributions/93.80.13.241 made a number of unexplained edits today that were identical to edits by ŠŠ°ŃŠ»ŃŠ¶ŠµŠ½Š½ŃŠ¹_ŃŠ°ŃŠøŃŃ that you had reverted on grounds of sockpuppetry. [ [27]].

US Banknote Contest | ||
---|---|---|
November-December 2019 | ||
There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons. In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate. If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here |

I know you have previously protected pages. To let you know, the page Dr Who and the Daleks may require protection as an IP is currently involved in an edit war with me and will not discuss first before removing a section with sources. Rodericksilly ( talk) 12:52, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
18 October 2019 you undid the changes about copper and sexual maturity of Neocaridinas. Do you know anything about shrimp at all? Have you checked those changes? Do you know that shrimp actually need small doses of copper for the blood circulation? Do you know that it takes 75-90 days to reach maturity, depending on the temperature (not 4-6 months)? Current information about shrimp is wrong! In addition, there is a sentence "Copper sulfates found in snail killer are in high amounts and will kill shrimp." - what is this? It makes no sense! It must be removed! āĀ Preceding unsigned comment added by MixMV ( talk ā¢ contribs) 13:04, 23 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi there. I can't understand why you made this change, wth edit summary "spam". The information in the sentence is correct, as far as I can see.

Hi BH, a while back Krish! was blocked for some behavioral stuff, then resorted to sockpuppetry, then, I guess while trying to take the standard offer, might have engaged in some minor editing while logged out. I told them that if they kept their nose clean for two more months, I'd consider unblocking them. It's thus been 2 months. Is there any way to check to see if they've been keeping up their end of the bargain? Thanks, Cyphoidbomb ( talk) 21:39, 2 November 2019 (UTC)

Berean Hunter,
While reviewing my talk page and going through notes left by my predecessors I noticed an address that had previously been checkuserblocked by you, [28], had resumed editing. Some of the edits seemed problematic (for example [29]), but I don't consider myself anywhere near knowledgeable enough yet to judge whether it is the same person, or if I should report it to Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism, so I was thinking you should have a look at it as an expert. 2604:2000:8FC0:4:617F:E9A7:AF1C:4546 ( talk) 05:15, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
Hi morning , I have been blocked from editing an article or whole wikipedia for 24 days by you . I want to know why did you block me from and why you are not correcting facts in two articles which are very serious and presenting false . I am pointing about two article one is about Islamic calphiate in which in sub paragraph Ahmediya community which is a non muslim minority is presented as muslim. 2nd article is also about ahmediya community where they declared themselves as muslim by the author which wrong and misuse of copywriter and basic rights of actual and real muslim community and religion . I have full right to take suitable action including legal actions if these wrong facts were not corrected. Because by pretending and presenting somoen who is non Muslim as Muslim is actually digital robbery of their identity . If you need to know about difference facts and reality Bout this this minority group ' Muslim and th Christian. You actually need to read facts from history when first that ghulam Ahmed qadyani have declared himself as Jesus Christ Peace Be Upon Him. Also when he was defeated by one Paster in sub continent and then his wrong announcements about the death of that paster which was also failed . There are so many historical facts which are missing and need to corrects all these facts. I am hopeful to receive reasonable response and new about correcting the facts and rectification of mistake in those articles and lifting ban from my editing and rectifying facts on wikipedia.

Hello Berean Hunter -- I'm a longtime wikimedian, helping out at a course at American University law school. Students are trying to edit all at once, right now, for class purposes. One student who is logged in with a real username to en.wp is getting an odd message -- can't edit from 92.38.148.0/23 because it has been misused. It gives your name as the user to contact. The rest of us seem okay. Could you unblock that IP address at least temporarily? -- econterms ( talk) 21:08, 6 November 2019 (UTC)
Hi Berean Hunter, Could you revoke talk page access on a recent block you've made please?
I'm fine with blocked users pinging me asking for clarification on an action I've made but the third diff shows that IHTS isn't interested in discussing the merits or demerits of such decisions and instead wants to ping users to criticise them and then claim
ownership of the talk page. Blocked users shouldn't use the ping function as a means of venting, and looking at the page history it's clearly a continued abuse of their user talk page
. I'm posting here because an ANI thread would just be drama-filled and I would have to edit IHTS' talk page with the pro forma, which they don't want me to do.
Many thanks,

You deleted
Draft:Nichelle Rodriguez Under
G5. This page was created by
Lebronto23 on , 26 October 2019 at 06:31. The user was not blocked until 07:44, 3 November 2019, and was therefore not blocked at the time the page was created. G5 says This applies to pages created by banned or blocked users in violation of their ban or block, and that have no substantial edits by others.
and G5 goes on to say To qualify, the edit or page must have been made while the user was actually banned or blocked. A page created before the ban or block was imposed or after it was lifted will not qualify under this criterion.
In addition, that draft had been significantly edited by other editors, including
AKinderWorld and, to a lessor degree, myself. It was also under discussion at
Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Draft:Nichelle Rodriguez, where several editors, including myself and
Britishfinance, had expressed the opinion that it should be kept, although the block of the creator was mentioned in the nomination. The deletion was therefore out-of-process, and I ask that you restore the draft page promptly. Thank you.

It's quite possible this user is being truthful here. I saw a similar clumsily-worded request earlier that had me fooled for a second; it was purportedly from an autoblocked user in good standing; they claim they were never blocked and never made a UTRS request. I think we still have some spoofing vulnerability at UTRS. OhNoitsJamie Talk 04:50, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

Hello:
Iām contacting you because I donāt understand whatās happening with respect to āSockingā. What is āSockingā? Whatever it is, why has it raised an issue with my Wikipedia account? Iām a legitimate Wikipedia user & Iāve had an account with the user name āPittsfieldPeteā for several years. Iām completely in the dark as to why my account is suddenly being considered suspicious or counterfeit as some called it. I donāt know what to do about the problem, largely because I donāt understand whatās wrong with it in the first place.
Do you understand the problem? If so, will you kindly write back with an explanation & what steps I need to take to fix it? If you like you may contact me via email at:

Hi Berean Hunter,
can you please explain your undo of my edit? Wasn't it just a misunderstanding? https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Battle_of_Midway&oldid=prev&diff=921804331
I've explained my motivation in the comment: Fixed grammar (plural The few aircrafts)
The original sentence is incorrect, because it's plural: The few aircrafts on the Japanese flight decks at the time of the attack were either defensive fighters... (emphasis added) But the aircraft is missing the plural suffix, so I added it. Am I right? If yes, please undo your miscorrection.
