Invitation to join the Fifteen Year Society

Dear PhilKnight,

I'd like to extend a cordial invitation to you to join the Fifteen Year Society, an informal group for editors who've been participating in the Wikipedia project for fifteen years or more. Additionally, if I may speak on behalf of the WikiProject Buddhism community, congratulations on this milestone. It is heartwarming to see you as an active user after all these years. Take good care, my friend!​

Best regards, Usedbook (talk) 19:20, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi Usedbook, thanks so much for your note. I am going to decline your invitation to the Fifteen Year Society, but thanks for asking. Thanks also for your comments about the Buddhism community on Wikipedia. Take care my friend, PhilKnight (talk) 20:19, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

Another IP, same user

Hi, you recently blocked 201.188.130.53 for three months for disruptive editing on various Disney etc. related topics. I think this is the same user: Special:Contributions/190.21.184.81 (geolocates to same place, edits same topics). Would you please block them, too? Thanks, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:50, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi, I have blocked them for 3 months. Thanks, PhilKnight (talk) 12:48, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

74.88.89.129

An IP you blocked on the 29th is back again listing fake movie titles on various film studio pages. I reported them on AIV hours ago, but nothing's been done, other than the IP range getting blocked from one extra page. One. They're still going at it. Please help. CRBoyer 05:35, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

IP Editors Adding Whitespace

Hi, you blocked two IP addresses making useless edits to an article, adding only one space each time. Another IP is now doing the same thing, 2409:4085:D8C:B4FE:1968:F15B:45F7:47EA, this time to International Olympic Committee. Could you please also block this IP address? Adam Black ^{talk • contributions} 16:47, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi Adam, I have blocked the IP for 48 hours. Thanks, PhilKnight (talk) 16:49, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
