Block evasion

Block review

Hi Phil, not sure if this is the place to do this, but I believe I've shown change. I was going to edit the response there, but sort of got distracted. Since the block, I've focused on what user @Valereee: suggested and focus on other topics. Since then I've discussed the topics several times before making more bold changes and have alerted the respected users. This ranges from Below the Root (video game) (started discussion about changes to the article, and reached out to other users heavily involved with the article to discuss changes made to it (here, and here here). Similarly with Les Mains d'Orlac (here for discussion) and here for responses: here, and [User_talk:Paleface_Jack#Les_Mains_d'Orlac here] (with this user, we've even collaborated more since as we seemed to hit it off pretty well!). Also since then, I've applied work on other articles bringing Megamania and Dracula (Universal film series) to good article status. While I respect your review, I disagree with your assertation that I haven't learned to communicate with others. As I feel like I've kept a cool head since. Andrzejbanas (talk) 16:34, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

Hi Andrzejbanas, I suggest you say that in your next unblock request. PhilKnight (talk) 18:46, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

Figured. Thanks. Andrzejbanas (talk) 21:25, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

Seeking assistance with a case on WP:ANI

Hey there! Could you help have a look on this persistent deletion of content case? It is unbecoming with the repeated pattern of edits by associated IP addresses. Appreciate your assist on this. hundenvonPG (talk) 16:25, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

IP evading a block

Hi @PhilKnight, You recently blocked @79.17.172.126 for one week, now they are edit warring again. And apparently they are evading the block of @95.248.34.201 . 2A02:8388:8C04:1500:6C9C:8259:8ECA:C7D8 (talk) 19:12, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

User talk:Biharsamajabudhabi

I found your decline of the unblock technically correct, but rather odd in the reply because the appeal clearly states that the user already created another account, basically renaming and unblocking himself.

Not sure what to do about it, if anything. I'm inclined to let it go for now and watch the new account's activities. ~Anachronist (talk) 14:46, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

Actually, nevermind. The new username isn't registered. ~Anachronist (talk) 14:48, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for helping me!

85.118.78.134

Can you apply a ban to the above IP address, so they can't spread the vandalism elsewhere? Thanks! I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 20:53, 21 September 2024 (UTC)

Re rv on World language

Hi, I saw you just reverted uncited changes on this article and you're an admin. I actually just listed the IP range that made the changes here at AIV, if you want to handle it. Thanks. — W.andrea (talk) 21:27, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

Thanks. I found the article from your AIV report. PhilKnight (talk) 21:29, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

Back again

Hi Phil, hope all is well. Should we wait to see if Special:Contributions/65.185.53.23 sticks around? He won't let the issue go, lol. Regards, John. Bringingthewood (talk) 01:39, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi John, I'm not convinced he's block worthy just yet, but I'll keep an eye on him. PhilKnight (talk) 01:45, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for that, that's why I asked. I'm guessing some have to dig a little hole before getting pushed into it. I'll watch also, Garrett was always on my watchlist anyway. Enjoy your Sunday! John. Bringingthewood (talk) 01:50, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

User Talk:Chase261

You recently blocked this user indefinitely, but it appears that they were able to edit their talk page today (once again). Kiwipete (talk) 04:46, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi Kiwipete, they are allowed to edit their talk page. They are even allowed to blank the page, if they want. PhilKnight (talk) 07:19, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

Regarding the IP you just blocked

The IP 88.93.245.100 has posted this nonsense on numerous places at no-WP every now and then for a couple of months. After being blocked for a longer time, the IP turned to en-WP, da-WP and sv-WP with the same garbage. Both here and on Danish the IP was blocked for some days last week. At the Swedish it was blocked for a few hours, before it was blocked globally for a week. The IP has now been blocked for an indefinite time over at no-WP.

Just wanted to inform you. Regards, admin @ no-WP. 1000mm (talk) 17:49, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

Thanks. PhilKnight (talk) 17:51, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

Same person is back on my User talk (alresdy reverted by another user), with a new IP today: 139.164.154.73 (talk · contribs · WHOIS). 1000mm (talk) 11:57, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

Do you mind doing a SNOW closure on an AfD?

This would be Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gaming Benni. It's understandable if you have a policy of always refusing these sorts of requests. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 20:11, 19 October 2024 (UTC)
