Hi Phil, it's been a while. Hope you're okay. I'm just letting you know that I blocked Mdsajibhosen. I know you declined the AIV report and I would never normally block after another admin has declined but it's my experience that editors whose first edit is so obviously promotional never become productive editors and sometimes return to dormant accounts to add more spam links/promotional material so there's no downside and potentially a big upside to blocking them.

It seems the entire range, Special:Contributions/65.254.0.0/19 is an open proxy range as well. Seawolf35 ( talk - email) 16:19, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

Greetings, PhilKnight. There appears to be a checkuser block to a user named Elie goodman. However, the person blocked has said that it seems to be a false alarm. It would help out a lot if you can look at this. Cheers, Wikiexplorationandhelping ( talk) 16:55, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
In 2008, you WP:SALTed the page Kinka because it was being recreated over and over about some non-notable subject. I'd like to create a disambiguation page at this title, since there are many pages with "Kinka" in the title but no unified disambig page. ( Kinka Beach, Queensland, Kinka Usher, Mount Kinka, Rita Kinka, Kinka Racheva, etc). Could you un-protect it so I could do this? Thanks. HappyWith ( talk) 22:06, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for blocking 93.45.183.100 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) but can the range 93.45.160.0/19 be blocked as well? This is a vandal who has caused an astronomical amount of disruption (1000+ troll edits) since 2022, they've been blocked more than 50 times as well.

You have blocked this range twice, it appears that the editor is using this range now for disruptive editing. TheAmazingPeanuts ( talk) 03:07, 24 December 2023 (UTC)

Can you suppress or at least revdelete the usernames in all the disruptive edits at Bodily integrity, Personal rights, and Self-ownership? They are/include a real name of someone who didn't make the edits and are intended to make the person with that name look bad. 41.36.160.35 ( talk) 16:51, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

Greetings PhilKnight,
Thanks for all you do. You recently blocked Naveen for disruptive editing. They are again on Draft:Thandel with an IP and a brand new account User:Rapo0103. IP is behaving more or less similar to Naveen by removing declined AFC templates from there. I am wondering if there is any permanent solution to it. Maliner ( talk) 18:58, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

When you added the infobox ( [4]), was the infobox contents based on any "standard" boilerplate for adding clans? Or are these clan additions being generated by a project somewhere? — GhostInTheMachine talk to me 23:13, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Lodha (clan), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Jammu and Kashmir. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
