Hi, Drmies. Special:Contributions/2607:fb91:900::/40 has too much collateral to be hard blocked. Soft blocking with {{ TMOblock}}, like the previous block, is more appropriate. — JJMC89 ( T· C) 07:35, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
I can't see the CU evidence, but it does look like a truly astonishingly wide range to be hard blocked, especially without talk page access. I also know of one apparently (as far as I can see) constructive and innocent editor who appears to be caught by this block. JBW ( talk) 13:49, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
You kindly restored an edited version of the Draft:John Paul (scientist) (removing copyright violations) I worked on it further, and the original editor User:Gcwcd then requested speedy deletion, (they had not actually edited that version of the draft) I should like to carry on working on it and move it to mainspace.

Do we give out boomerangs at XRV? The OP isn't coming off in a good light. (he understated) -- Deepfriedokra ( talk) 01:54, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
Hi Drmies, I think the block should be indef here as I saw the sock notice in their userpage. I guess you might have missed it because of the existing block? Jeraxmoira🐉 ( talk) 06:29, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
Hello, Drmies,
I'm not sure why you reverted the blanking of this draft by the page creator. We usually respect their wishes and see this as a signal that they would like the page deleted. Thanks for any additional information you can offer. Liz Read! Talk! 00:35, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
Hi, I noticed you reverted
this edit and left a Level 2 vandalism warning template on the IP editor's
talk page. Would a {{subst:uw-spoiler}}
or {{subst:uw-delete1}}
template be more appropriate in this case? The edit summary does have quite some emotion to it, but let me know what you think. Thanks!

I think it's blindingly obvious this is a sock of Exteahans71. I've raised an SPI case. Barry Wom ( talk) 14:20, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
Hello, Drmies,
According to Draftify, we normally don't draftify articles that are more than 3-6 months old and this article was created in 2011. Do you think there are COI issues that have lasted that long? Liz Read! Talk! 02:31, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
Thank you for supporting the removal of unnecessary detail on the Foot fetishism article, I greatly appreciate it. I believe there is a similar amount of excess celebrity detail on the Midriff and Cultural views on the midriff and navel if you are interested in looking at those articles for excess detail to trim. Thank you! GnocchiFan ( talk) 12:43, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
Thanks for handling this incredibly prolific sockfarm. It feels like whack-a-mole. It's hard for Fylindfotberserk or me to catch up with filing new SPIs. Can we give you a short unbeaurocratic heads-up in case the next one flies into our respective radars? Austronesier ( talk) 15:59, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
I appreciate your action here. As someone who appreciated the user's anti-vandalism edits, I was seriously disappointed to discover their sockpuppetry. I have left them a message on their talk page explaining the standard offer to them and warning them about the consequences of block evasion, more specifically pointing them to WP:3X. Speaking from my experience patrolling recent changes alongside them, I'd really love to see them return in six months, but unfortunately, if this continues, I don't think that will be on the table.
Once again, thank you for stepping in here. JeffSpaceman ( talk) 21:13, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
I think local council pages fall under WP:BRANCH and they shouldn't have stand alone articles. What do you think? Merge/re-direct to something already in place or a should new target be created? Graywalls ( talk) 21:14, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi, you're certainly better acquainted with philosophy than me (even though I have Russell's "History of Western Philosophy" currently on my nightstand - I shit you not, at least a year :-). Could you have a look at this article and it's recent history and tell me whether I really am wrong about this? -- Randykitty ( talk) 18:17, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
Hi Drmies. I noticed that in December last year you left a note of thanks on User talk:Alcuin regarding their addition to a particular Neil Young article. Not sure you noticed or are aware of the significant copyright violations in most of their edits—they have copied entire (often block quote) paragraphs from multiple sources on each article they've edited, which I think is a significant WP:COPYVIO issue. They have done this on what seems like most of Young's, Aerosmith's, and now the Moody Blues' album articles. I've left a note on their talk page about using quotes and the amount of them in moderation and paraphrasing, but I thought in lieu of raising this at CCI or somewhere (not sure it's at that level), if you get time you might like to go through Young's articles they've contributed to and cut down some of their quote additions. Some of the quotes appear unnecessary—while it may be interesting to fans of his work, I'm not sure we need to quote the artist on every facet of an album's production and recording. I've already done a few. Ss 112 05:40, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

Yes Yamla, Daddychill--that was very exciting and I figured how this was going to end. Still they played the split identity of the sockmaster well, for a while, no? Drmies ( talk) 19:31, 25 April 2024 (UTC)he can back a car forty miles an hour into a tight squeeze and stop at the wall, jump out, race among fenders, leap into another car, circle it fifty miles an hour in a narrow space, back swiftly into tight spot, hump, snap the car with the emergency so that you see it bounce as he flies out; then clear to the ticket shack, sprinting like a track star, hand a ticket, leap into a newly arrived car before the owner’s half out, leap literally under him as he steps out, start the car with the door flapping, and roar off to the next available spot, arc, pop in, brake, out, run.
Hello. Right after blocking ORIONIS EQUINOX, a brand new user with the same pattern of ORIONIS EQUINOX is editing Draft:Kharvela's conquests and invasions, User:Tikikam, was created recently, editing the same draft with the same pattern. Imperial [AFCND] 11:31, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
Hey, could you take a look at Jacob Cowing? A new editor has been changing the height and weight and basing it on NFL Combine, even though the external links, ESPN and somebody else, say differently. And we're not talking about a minor difference in height, but 3". I've been posting warnings to the editor's Talk page, as well as some advice on what to do, but you know me and sports. I realize that Cowing is no longer a college footballer, but I'd hazard that you know more about professional football than I do, which is, as I've said repeatedly, nil. (This post was not generated with AI, but with the lower intelligence of a human (reportedly) being.)-- Bbb23 ( talk) 18:32, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
Was in the process of deleting stuff on that article and saw the conflict message, thought to myself "here we go, some fan's restored it" but was pleasantly surprised to see someone else appearing and noticing it's a load of absolutely useless fan wiki trivia. Loved the description of "useless table porn" btw. Rambling Rambler ( talk) 14:03, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
