I just need to say that a user named Ram The Editor was blocked by you by the checkuserblock-account template but you misunderstood it. That user was actually for good contributions so that user should be unblocked. Please unblock Ram The Editor. Thank you. 122.162.27.1 ( talk) 12:46, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

Regarding Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Unable to lift autoblocks it might be possible for you to modify your original indef block of User:Promise Njoku to clear the 'autoblock' check box.

Dear user
i need your help with checking the ip address of a user who has been constantly harassing a my sister of by posting her name and picture one a very offending Wikipedia page/subject. He/She have been able to get away with it every time and has done so by making more than one users and using this as platform to smear and hurt my sister's reputation. we dont know the reason for this but we know it stems from the jealously or hatred the user has towards her.
Here are 2 of the users with the first being the most recent one in which edits have been used:

Hi, I am proposing to block the IPs used by AnnalesSchool for block evasion. The ip-range-calc tool suggests 92.143.89.171/18 as encompassing the two IP addresses they have visibly (to me) used. Naturally, as CU you have far more information. I should welcome your advice on a rangeblock; as to desirability, the best range and whether it would cause collateral damage.

Hello DoRD, please see Wikipedia:Bureaucrats'_noticeboard#Resignation_from_the_Arbitration_Electoral_Commission. Thank you, — xaosflux Talk 15:11, 12 November 2017 (UTC)
Could you look at a few of the userpages transcluding Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Toolserver IP and see if any of them are still being used by WMF bots? They were used by Toolserver bots, so I'm guessing that they're no longer used for the purpose; I know that 185.15.59.201 is no longer used for this purpose. Secondly, could you check a few of the bots in Category:Wikipedia bots running on Wikimedia Toolforge and tell me what IPs or IP ranges are used, as long as they're indeed WMF addresses?
Context — as you may be aware, there's been a history of bots editing while accidentally logged out; {{ Toolserver IP}} tells admins to indefinitely softblock the IP, so that it can't edit this way. I'd like to levy such blocks on the current IPs, lest this problem arise again, but since I don't know what IPs the Toolforge uses, I can't do anything right now. Of course, if you have some other way of looking up those addresses, that would be equally helpful. Nyttend ( talk) 15:21, 26 November 2017 (UTC)

Hello!
I noticed you CU-blocked Afterbucks. After the block, IP 50.252.214.51 posted this to the talk page for Afterbucks, which leads me to believe it is the same user editing while logged out. Worth keeping an eye on it, I guess :) – FlyingAce ✈hello 14:19, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

Apologies for this - just wanted you to know it was not intentional; rather, it was automatically added by NPP's page curation tool.

Hi, I wonder if you could help.
I see that you recently blocked user 2600:8800:3981:7a80::/64 for disruptive editing, e.g. on Blake Clark. He has recently been active on the Manx Gaelic Wikipedia, adding short stubs on Blake Clark and other actors, but describing them using the Manx Gaelic word for "actress". No idea whether this is intentional.
Any suggestions on what to do about this?---- Ehrenkater ( talk) 17:27, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
Hi. Just out of curiosity, is the revision-deletion at the Teahouse related to the recent banning of User:Soccerkid2009, and if so, what led to the revision deletion.

Hi DoRD, I noticed you've recently blocked Spurnrally, a user that came onto my radar yesterday when I reverted a nonconstructive edit of theirs. I've just looked at the user's contribution history, user page, and talk page, and I suspect that the user's edits, while generally not helpful, have all been made in good faith. The user even responded [5] to a template warning, indicating good intentions and a lack of understanding of the problem. I think it would be kinder to first have someone engage the user in conversation and teach them about constructive editing. I wouldn't mind leaving the user a message for starters. Perhaps blocking could be used only as a last resort if the user doesn't improve. Armadillopteryx talk 21:49, 19 February 2018 (UTC)

Hello. If you look at the page history of a deleted earlier version of Talk:Brij Bhushan Mani Tripathi (a version deleted per WP:CSD G8 at 21:19, 20 March 2018) you will find two more suspected socks of Aditya Mani Tripathi, with no edits outside that talk page. When I saw them and their edits I suspected them of being socks, and added them to my watchlist, but can't find their names now since they had no edits outside that deleted version of the talk page, and my watchlist is currently 12,628 pages long. I would hate to see those accounts used for nefarious deeds, i.e. even more disruption than we have seen so far, so maybe you could check the deleted earlier version, see their names and do whatever needs to be done?

...ramming the rear of his SUV with a white van, is not supported by the linked article. Looking at a photo (
as seen in photographs of the scene) to come up with the previous text is what I was referring to as original research. The article doesn't say how it happened, so we don't know whether they forcibly pushed his car off the road or if the collision happened after he stopped. More recent reports hint that they did do as you speculated, but that wasn't the case earlier. — DoRD ( talk) 11:55, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

Which of course doesn't mean that it isn't Shingling, since he has used lots of open proxies (helping us, since lots of proxies got blocked right after he had used them), and it isn't the first time I've seen Indian IPs doing typical Shingling-edits, I've seen lots of them, but haven't bothered do anything about it since they very quickly stopped editing. But since you've just taken a look at Shingling's latest sock I thought it might be worth taking a look on this one, to see if it's the same device/useragent that is being used here.

Hi DoRD. I noticed this. I think this now won't ever match anything much - because of what the first word of that line does.

There is a very long time standing situation over at /info/en/?search=List_of_Bollywood_films_of_2018 . This problem has existed for a long time, and me having a busy life, I do not have the time to fix all these issues. The major issue with article is the fact that there are two uses of IMDb as a source for a release date of a future movie. However that is the tip of the iceberg here. There are numerous number of unsourced release dates for future movies. In order for me to inform other users about the problems with the page, I created a the multiple issues template box at the top the page informing the users about the fact that Wikipedia is not a crystal bal, as well as the fact that IMDb is not a reliable source for anything. This version can be seen here : https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=List_of_Bollywood_films_of_2018&oldid=837955983 . However a IPv6 address promptly did not like having the template box, and said in it summary that it is not necessary, according to the history. The current page still has this massive uncited release dates, and two IMDb sources in it. Who is correct that IPv6 or me? Please reply as soon as possible.

He/She have been able to get away with it every time and has done so by making more than one users and using this as platform to smear and hurt my sister's reputation. we dont know the reason for this but we know it stems from the jealously or hatred the user has towards her.
Here are 2 of the users with the first being the most recent one in which edits have been used:

DoRD - In addition to COVER, TomBarker23 created /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Wikisuicide which in my opinion, even as an essay, in not appropriate for Wikipedia. Please look at. Thanks. David notMD ( talk) 21:47, 13 October 2017 (UTC)
I noticed one of your recent blocks is of a user I have long suspected of creating self-attackers, whether for sympathy, drama, or to elicit help from supporters.

I see you've blocked our good friend Morty. Figured I'd drop a link to RemoveMorty. Not sure if its an account made to troll C-137 or if it's a sock of C-137. At any rate, you've been made aware. GMG talk 12:40, 17 October 2017 (UTC)

Just in case you have pings turned off, or the software messed up, I've closed Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Arbitration Committee Elections December 2017/Electoral Commission, and ...

You might want to take a closer look at User:Drewmutt, and in particular, the edit history of their now-deleted page User:Drewmutt/Tips Oshwah Doesn't Want You to Know. The use of terms like "dank" and "Oshwanker" makes me think that they might be related to other accounts. -- The Anome ( talk) 15:10, 28 October 2017 (UTC)
Hi, I am proposing to block the IPs used by AnnalesSchool for block evasion. The ip-range-calc tool suggests 92.143.89.171/18 as encompassing the two IP addresses they have visibly (to me) used. Naturally, as CU you have far more information. I should welcome your advice on a rangeblock; as to desirability, the best range and whether it would cause collateral damage.

Hello DoRD, please see Wikipedia:Bureaucrats'_noticeboard#Resignation_from_the_Arbitration_Electoral_Commission. Thank you, — xaosflux Talk 15:11, 12 November 2017 (UTC)
Could you look at a few of the userpages transcluding Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Toolserver IP and see if any of them are still being used by WMF bots? They were used by Toolserver bots, so I'm guessing that they're no longer used for the purpose; I know that 185.15.59.201 is no longer used for this purpose. Secondly, could you check a few of the bots in Category:Wikipedia bots running on Wikimedia Toolforge and tell me what IPs or IP ranges are used, as long as they're indeed WMF addresses?
Context — as you may be aware, there's been a history of bots editing while accidentally logged out; {{ Toolserver IP}} tells admins to indefinitely softblock the IP, so that it can't edit this way. I'd like to levy such blocks on the current IPs, lest this problem arise again, but since I don't know what IPs the Toolforge uses, I can't do anything right now. Of course, if you have some other way of looking up those addresses, that would be equally helpful. Nyttend ( talk) 15:21, 26 November 2017 (UTC)

Hello!
I noticed you CU-blocked Afterbucks. After the block, IP 50.252.214.51 posted this to the talk page for Afterbucks, which leads me to believe it is the same user editing while logged out. Worth keeping an eye on it, I guess :) – FlyingAce ✈hello 14:19, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
Hi DoRD. Thanks for your fast block on Special:Contributions/2600:387:1:805:0:0:0:65. I was about to ping you but you responded before I had a chance. The IP seemed to be attacking articles solely from my edit history. Kb.au ( talk) 15:27, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

Apologies for this - just wanted you to know it was not intentional; rather, it was automatically added by NPP's page curation tool. I simply forgot about that unwanted feature auto-adding a notice on the page of the article creator, or I would've deleted it myself. Atsme 📞 📧 14:47, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
Hi, I wonder if you could help.
I see that you recently blocked user 2600:8800:3981:7a80::/64 for disruptive editing, e.g. on Blake Clark. He has recently been active on the Manx Gaelic Wikipedia, adding short stubs on Blake Clark and other actors, but describing them using the Manx Gaelic word for "actress". No idea whether this is intentional.
Any suggestions on what to do about this?---- Ehrenkater ( talk) 17:27, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
Hi. Just out of curiosity, is the revision-deletion at the Teahouse related to the recent banning of User:Soccerkid2009, and if so, what led to the revision deletion. Simply asking as one of the hosts who had replied to his (rather vulgar and inappropriate) queries. Thanks, Stormy clouds ( talk) 21:13, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
Hi DoRD, I noticed you've recently blocked Spurnrally, a user that came onto my radar yesterday when I reverted a nonconstructive edit of theirs. I've just looked at the user's contribution history, user page, and talk page, and I suspect that the user's edits, while generally not helpful, have all been made in good faith. The user even responded [5] to a template warning, indicating good intentions and a lack of understanding of the problem. I think it would be kinder to first have someone engage the user in conversation and teach them about constructive editing. I wouldn't mind leaving the user a message for starters. Perhaps blocking could be used only as a last resort if the user doesn't improve. Armadillopteryx talk 21:49, 19 February 2018 (UTC)

Hello. If you look at the page history of a deleted earlier version of Talk:Brij Bhushan Mani Tripathi (a version deleted per WP:CSD G8 at 21:19, 20 March 2018) you will find two more suspected socks of Aditya Mani Tripathi, with no edits outside that talk page. When I saw them and their edits I suspected them of being socks, and added them to my watchlist, but can't find their names now since they had no edits outside that deleted version of the talk page, and my watchlist is currently 12,628 pages long. I would hate to see those accounts used for nefarious deeds, i.e. even more disruption than we have seen so far, so maybe you could check the deleted earlier version, see their names and do whatever needs to be done?

WP:NOR is CNN considered "Mainstream newspapers"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.139.98.75 ( talk) 11:46, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
...ramming the rear of his SUV with a white van, is not supported by the linked article. Looking at a photo (
as seen in photographs of the scene) to come up with the previous text is what I was referring to as original research. The article doesn't say how it happened, so we don't know whether they forcibly pushed his car off the road or if the collision happened after he stopped. More recent reports hint that they did do as you speculated, but that wasn't the case earlier. — DoRD ( talk) 11:55, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

Which of course doesn't mean that it isn't Shingling, since he has used lots of open proxies (helping us, since lots of proxies got blocked right after he had used them), and it isn't the first time I've seen Indian IPs doing typical Shingling-edits, I've seen lots of them, but haven't bothered do anything about it since they very quickly stopped editing. But since you've just taken a look at Shingling's latest sock I thought it might be worth taking a look on this one, to see if it's the same device/useragent that is being used here.

Hi DoRD. I noticed this. I think this now won't ever match anything much - because of what the first word of that line does. I don't know which is better and don't have a solution other than rewriting or finding another filter - just thought I'd make the observation. -- zzuuzz (talk) 09:03, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
I noticed Special:AbuseFilter/624 doesn't make any actions, and hasn't been updated in years. Are you still using it? What about you, DeltaQuad? We are still regularly hitting the condition limit, so I'm trying to disable some filters that are either stale or no longer being monitored. Many thanks — MusikAnimal talk 21:00, 24 April 2018 (UTC)

There is a very long time standing situation over at /info/en/?search=List_of_Bollywood_films_of_2018 . This problem has existed for a long time, and me having a busy life, I do not have the time to fix all these issues. The major issue with article is the fact that there are two uses of IMDb as a source for a release date of a future movie. However that is the tip of the iceberg here. There are numerous number of unsourced release dates for future movies. In order for me to inform other users about the problems with the page, I created a the multiple issues template box at the top the page informing the users about the fact that Wikipedia is not a crystal bal, as well as the fact that IMDb is not a reliable source for anything. This version can be seen here : https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=List_of_Bollywood_films_of_2018&oldid=837955983 . However a IPv6 address promptly did not like having the template box, and said in it summary that it is not necessary, according to the history. The current page still has this massive uncited release dates, and two IMDb sources in it. Who is correct that IPv6 or me? Please reply as soon as possible.

Altogen Labs CRO was created by Kessypeshoo, and edited by Carlbjornasson to include promotional content. It came under threat and Carl created Altogen Biosystems to make sure that the promotional article remains online.

Please see this proposed technical move. It needs admin assistance because the target is salted by you.

Please don't revert posts like this. Rather rude. A message on my talk page would have been better.
