Infinite IP blocks?
Hi. Noticed that you have some old infinite IP blocks. Are they still relevant in that form? — billinghurst sDrewth 02:14, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
- @
Billinghurst: It's been a very long time (as you can see from the timestamps) since I've been involved in IP blocks or anything like that. You probably have a better idea than I would about the utility of these blocks, and I have absolutely no problem if you see fit to change these in some way. If Wikipedia policy or practice has changes (or the nature of those IP ranges) in the years since those blocks were implemented, it would make sense to do whatever you think is necessary with them. Thanks!
Dominic·
t 23:33, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for the reply. I think that we can remove them and re-impose them as required. We know that IP blocks move around, and as we now have global blocks in place, etc. I think enough management is in place. I put a general conversation to WP:AN and will follow that outcome for actions. Hope that all is well with you. — billinghurst sDrewth 23:44, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

Did you know...
That I've nominated " The Hill We Climb" at Did you know? Thanks for creating it-- I've credited you as a co-author. Cheers, Eddie891 Talk Work 16:22, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
- @ Eddie891: Thanks so much! You did all the work here, and I really appreciate the effort that went in to it. The article got almost 110,000 views yesterday alone, so that's exciting! Dominic· t 16:56, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
DYK for The Hill We Climb
On 11 February 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article The Hill We Climb, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that after Amanda Gorman recited the poem " The Hill We Climb" at the inauguration of US president Joe Biden, she gained Twitter followers at a faster rate than the president? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/The Hill We Climb. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, The Hill We Climb), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (ie, 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
