I'm troubled by your decline of the unblock request by Charliestalnaker. I've never heard of a user using the unblock template on behalf of another user. I've seen third parties go to WP:AN to complain about a block or comment on the blocked user's Talk page, but not what happened here. By declining it, it seems to me that you are condoning it. Plus, although the history shows what happened, the unblock request is not even signed. What are your thoughts?-- Bbb23 ( talk) 10:42, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

Hey! May I ask what is up with 92.40.202.0/23? Whoever is on the range has recently made a ton of edits to talk pages across the IPs, commonly with categorisation-problematic templates (E.g. {{ db-g10}}).

Hello! I noticed you extended an IP range block for 2601:c6:c580:6b20::/64 ( talk · contribs · WHOIS) for block evasion. I tried to submit a SPI investigation last week but I think I shouldn't have added the original username. I want to say the editing of 50.241.14.29 ( talk · contribs · WHOIS) is very similar to the blocked IP range. I can post the supporting info here again or do you think I should just make a new SPI? – The Grid ( talk) 02:04, 17 July 2022 (UTC)
Hello, you blocked User:Keith161 for being a sockpuppet. It appears he returned. User:Introessive began editing later the same day, and has exactly the same pattern of adding non-noteworthy news about betting & gaming companies, cited to a variety of quasi-reliable sites.

Yamla, I know you usually deal with block/unblock issues, but I'm having what I think is an unusual and related problem. Somebody's decided to initiate an attempt to have my userpage deleted, of all things. I've had no prior contact with this person and have happily complied with all of the user's demands and then some to try to make this go away, but it isn't. This seems like an egregious abuse of process to me. Could you please take a look? See here. Thanks for your time and consideration either way. Rogue 9 ( talk) 21:10, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
You wrote "I do not believe this user's claim that they also control the Theoder2055 account, based on technical evidence." I don't think the editor actually meant that; I think "I have said myself been blocked on User:Theoder2055 account" was intended to mean "I have said on User:Theoder2055's talk page that I have been blocked". However, it really doesn't make any difference, because, as Dennis Brown has said, there's a serious CIR problem, so even if the sockpuppetry issue were cleared up, it wouldn't make much sense to unblock. I confess I'm not sure why I didn't take that line from the start, and save myself time trying to help where no help is likely to be effective. JBW ( talk) 13:58, 28 August 2022 (UTC)

Hello, Yamla, I hope you are well! I am writing to you today because I wanted to ask for some advice. Basically there is an image on the bad images list (the reason for that is because it is pornographic) although I am considering suggesting deletion since I do not see the purpose for it to be here on Wikipedia. It is not whitelisted for any articles, and whilst I am aware that Wikipedia is not censored, I just don’t see the purpose for the file. How do you think I should go about suggesting deletion? Many thanks, Blanchey ( talk) 20:07, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

Hi
My personal IP address has been blocked long before I acquired it. Now, there is indeed my personal media server running there, with open ports 80 and 443.
In response to my unblock request you pointed out that ports 8080 and 5060 also being visible. I am rather certain that is not the case. Could you walk me through the process by which these were detected? Perhaps it's an issue with my ISP?
From what I got from wikipedia's policy, these measures are intended to prevent proxy access. If so, Is there a way in which I could prove my server is not being used for such purpose?
