Hi

Hi!

As you can see, I'm just another IP editor who's mostly, so I don't have to repeatedly nag account editors for favors, also because apparently IPs are tied to "modems" rather than "laptops" stayed with their IP. I just noticed your edits in Special:RecentChanges and wanted to let you know you're not alone in making large amounts of edits through an IP! (Though, there's a record to beat! ^Don't!)

Also, question: When you said that you had an account but were blocked, isn't that block evasion? I know you're not making non-constructive edits (great!), but apparently there's a policy against block evasion. --67.183.136.85 (talk) 05:03, 23 December 2021 (UTC)

Sorry about that. I thought I was reverting some vandalism, but somehow it ended up reverting your reversion of vandalism. I'm not sure how that happened, but I must have made a mistake. Keep up the good work. SchreiberBike | ⌨  05:05, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

@SchreiberBike: Thank and no problem if there's any accident 68.193.199.8 (talk) 05:07, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

A cup of coffee for you!

Thank you for your work in fighting vandalism! Bobherry Talk Edits 01:42, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
