Disambiguation link notification for March 3

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited DMACK, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Goodyear. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Meatpuppetry

Hello,

A user you blocked is attempting to dodge the block through other users. See User talk:Vjmlhds#Open response. Regards, James(^talk/_contribs) 23:17, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

@James Allison: I was just about to share the same concern but you beat me to it. Seems to be a pretty clear case of proxy editing.[1][2] Levdr1lp / talk 00:48, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

I was coming here to bring up the same issue. Considering some of his recent self-aggrandizing and anti-admin ramblings, I don't think he's making ideal use of his talk page during a block. He also seems to be goading the other user back into an edit war. Not sure if Huon and @Ohnoitsjamie: have any thoughts on the matter. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 01:09, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

That grave was dug deep enough. Handled. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 01:21, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for dealing with it, Ohnoitsjamie. A while back I indeffed the user for threatening another user with violence. He quickly recanted, so he was unblocked, but he's demonstrating more aggressiveness and irritation. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 03:58, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
