Thank you

I appreciate you protecting my talk page to quell the vandalism. In the past, I generally disliked the idea of my talk page being protected, given that I like new and IP users being able to contact me if they have issues with my edits, but this vandalism clearly wouldn't go away without administrative action. Once again, thank you for all you do here. JeffSpaceman (talk) 16:04, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

@JeffSpaceman You're welcome, and I've felt the same way with my talk page in the past. A short-term protection seems to strike the balance. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 16:09, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

Blocking an IP range

Latest comment: 16 days ago3 comments2 people in discussion

Hello. I would like to ask you to consider blocking 41.150.0.0/16 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · block user · block log). The range was active recently, and a very large amount of vandalism was (persistently) coming from it. I tried to report it to AIV, but I was told to report it to ANI. My ANI report got archived without any response. That is why I chose to reach out to an individual admin. If you think the range should be blocked, please do so, and if not, I will be glad for an explanation. Many thanks. Janhrach (talk) 17:29, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

@Janhrach Normally I'd be reluctant with a range as big as a /16 but almost all edits coming from that range are vandalism so I've blocked it for six months. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 17:37, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
Thank you! Janhrach (talk) 17:39, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

Discussion at User talk:Cmanon § Your username

  You are invited to join the discussion at User talk:Cmanon § Your username. -- Marchjuly (talk) 08:26, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

Hi HJ Mitchell. Since you seem fairly active at WP:UAA and are also an oversighter, I thought I ask you about this before to see whether it's worth discussing at UAA. As you can see on this user's user talk page, I've mentioned the potential issues with their username a couple of months ago, but they never responded. They, however, showed up again earlier today to edit Christian Manon, which is why it showed up in my watchlist. If there's nothing to worry about here, I'll remove the page from my watchlist and leave things be, except for the outstanding file issues. -- Marchjuly (talk) 08:32, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
@Marchjuly My personal opinion is that if they're not doing anything disruptive, they're probably best left alone but if you want more input, there's WP:RFC/N. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 20:47, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
Thank you for taking a look at this. I concur with your assessment that that user hasn't (at least so far) done anything that's really would be considered disruptive, which is the main reason why I didn't start a UAA discussion about them. I guess action can always be taken if they someday do start causing problems. -- Marchjuly (talk) 21:10, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

Unblock request

Latest comment: 13 days ago3 comments2 people in discussion

There's an unblock request at User talk:SilverBullet X, for a block you imposed. I am in favour of lifting the block, but perhaps you can have a look at it and see what you think. The block was, in my opinion 100% right, but the editor has done about as good a job as I have ever seen of showing an acceptance that what he did was wrong and indicating that he won't do the same again. Of course the fact that he says so doesn't prove that he won't, but I can't see any reason for not giving him a chance to prove that he means it (or show that he doesn't, and needs to be reblocked). Any thoughts? JBW (talk) 21:28, 18 September 2024 (UTC)

@JBW that seems a reasonable request. No objection to you unblocking. Apologies for the tardy response. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 10:36, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
Thanks. I'll go ahead. 👍 JBW (talk) 10:41, 21 September 2024 (UTC)

Anon IP hoaxish-disruptive

Latest comment: 12 days ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Hi hi. I noted today your block of [1] from Oct 23, 2023, likewise a similar block of Favonian of [2] June this year. This appears to be the same disruptive editor I encountered a few weeks back - I encountered these IPs 2603:7000:5F00:3E19:8634:2711:2DCF:F22F, 2603:7000:5F00:3E19:265:17CB:ACEA:5EEA, 2603:7000:5F00:3E19:957:73ED:665F:AEE1, 2600:1017:B806:6428:CC04:FDFF:FE25:F3F0, 2600:1017:B819:2CE0:CD3:32FF:FE50:2D18, 2603:7000:5F00:3E19:E3B5:DE09:7C54:B558, 2607:FA49:5241:5D00:71A3:22AC:1D12:3489. The pattern of editing is similar, seemingly getting a kick out of editing vast number of pages and adding factoids arbitrarily. Most of it is just nuisance edits, but some of it becomes WP:HOAX such as his edits at Wesh Zalmian.

Is there a SPI or ANI case where this was reviewed? Is there any past block or ban decision that can be referred to in a SPI or ANI report when new IPs from the same user appears? -- Soman (talk) 13:32, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

Special:Contributions/102.67.77.155

Latest comment: 9 days ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Hi @HJ Mitchell. You blocked 102.67.77.42 on few days ago. But they are currently using 102.67.77.155 with the same pattern. Can you take a look and block range of 102.67.76.0/22, regards. AmritR012 (talk) 17:36, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

@AmritR012 I've blocked the/22 for a month but I doubt that will stop someone so obsessive. Let me know if they get round it, otherwise I'm guessing I'll need to renew it in just over a month's time. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 18:47, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for blocking User:Rverything works for us all - could you please remove their User talk page access as well? Thanks - Arjayay (talk) 10:09, 26 September 2024 (UTC)

@Arjayay done. I had a feeling that might be necessary. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 10:19, 26 September 2024 (UTC)

Your block of Swostika Neupane

Latest comment: 7 days ago10 comments2 people in discussion

Thanks for blocking the ref-spammer. It looks like there's some sockpuppetry going on here. Himalayan00 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) has been posting the same group of tour-guide related websites, as have a bunch of IPV6 addresses. 10mmsocket (talk) 15:53, 26 September 2024 (UTC)

I'm putting a SPI report together at the moment. 10mmsocket (talk) 16:06, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
...thanks for the block 10mmsocket (talk) 16:07, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
@10mmsocket I'm not surprised. Where there's one spammer, there's normally more. I'll run a CU when I get chance. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 16:09, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
@10mmsocket Found a few more. They're sharing some pretty broad ranges with lots of other editors, including good-faith contributors, so I'm loathe to make large range blocks. I'll blacklist the domains though. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 16:57, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
Here's the list of links involved. Probably more.
And here's the list of IP's and users
These are also likely involved
Happy to pull all this together as an SPI if you would rather me do that. 10mmsocket (talk) 17:04, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
And one more
Thanks. 10mmsocket (talk) 17:07, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
@10mmsocket I've blocked all the accounts (and quite a few more) and blacklisted all the domains. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 19:04, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
Thank you. Roger & out. 10mmsocket (talk) 20:36, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
No worries. I'll take all the link spammers you want to give me. Might take me a day or two but I like breaking up these spam rings. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 21:24, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
