Hi! Why you blocked user without edits? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 1.46.24.138 (talk) 07:08, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
User BhargavshingalaBhargavshingala (talk · contribs) made another edit to Medha Shankar, pushing the same site. I reported them to AIV for spam, but perhaps it's worth adding the site to the spam blacklist? Ravensfire (talk) 04:21, 9 January 2024 (UTC) The Bugle: Issue 213, January 2024

Sorry about the duplicate blockNormally I get a warning if a user's block status has changed. -Ad Orientem (talk) 01:51, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
I'm a bit puzzled by this block; I don't see any promotional edits at all. Shouldn't it just be a username block? Or am I missing something? --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 18:41, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

GJT Airlines / GetJet AirlinesHow did you know that GJT Airlines looked like it was editing the GetJet Airlines page for the purpose of advertising ? I did a revert of (almost all) the user's edits within 5 minutes on 14 February, plus a possible anonymous (IP address only) sock-puppet the following day within 2 minutes. I didn't report anything formally and the GetJet Airlines page has relatively few views each day. Pmbma (talk) 14:40, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

Vandalism only accountHi, I believe you made a mistake earlier today on the WP:VOA account (Miyakoanand) I reported on a WP:GENSEX topic - [1]. Warning a vandalism only account is not required and I believe the correct course of action for admins per WP:VOA/WP:DISRUPTONLY is to ban them indef. Raladic (talk) 02:28, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

I love your talk page archive setupI've been experimenting with some talk page archiving, and I really like how you do it on your page. Can you elaborate on your setup? I can only really see that you use the talkheader template, but there isn't any other script I can see. If you could, I'd love if youd just copy paste some that I can yoink over to my own page :).

Chelsea F.C.-Manchester United F.C.Hello, I hope you are doing well. I am interested in re-creating Chelsea-Manchester United rivalry article, which was deleted by you. I wanted to know why it was deleted and if I can re-create it again with reliable sources? Thank You! AkephalostheHeadless (talk) 19:12, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

Revoke TPA?Hi, Alex. On GYATT RIZ's talk page, do you think it's time to revoke TPA after this comment they made in response to your block? Let me know your thoughts and I'll try to respond back ASAP. Thanks. (please mention me on reply) NoobThreePointOh (talk) 10:28, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

I was doing many reversions of vandalism (it was a busy day). I just looked at the filters, and I do not see what I probably saw that day. Maybe it was a mistake? Nothing to undo now as the short block has already expired. -- Alexf(talk) 01:37, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
Blocking the /64Hi Alexf. I've noticed that you seem to only block exact IPv6 addresses rather than a /64 range. I understand your reluctance to block IP ranges due to the risk of collateral damage, but the risk is much smaller than the risk of blocking any IPv4 range. Mathematically, blocking a /64 range covers an extremely tiny fraction of the IPv6 space, about 0.0000000000000000054%, which is infinitesimal compared to the 0.000000023% of IPv4 space covered by a single IPv4 address. While there are nuances in the math due to unaddressable sections in both IPv4 and IPv6 spaces, the substantial difference in size is real. Because many modern devices frequently change the last part of the IPv6 address for privacy reasons, the most effective way to block IPv6 editors, particularly for blocks longer than several hours, is to block the /64 address. Please consider enabling the Twinkle option to default to blocking the /64. Just in case you haven't already seen it, there's also an essay on this topic at WP:/64. Regards.

A7 in draft space?Hi, looking at Wikipedia:Database reports/Possibly out-of-process deletions, I noticed you deleted Draft:Abhishek Soni with WP:A7. I thought notability/importance was only a criterion for articles, not drafts, did I misunderstand something? Thanks a lot! Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 23:53, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

KK Vishnoi/BishnoiHi, sorry to bother you, but as you were briefly involved earlier, I wondered if you could again take a look at something, please. IIRC, KK Vishnoi was trying to create an autobio at User:KK Vishnoi/sandbox (and also at User:KK Vishnoi). When those were deleted, they went to the existing article KK Bishnoi and hijacked that by turning it into KK Vishnoi. Or so I at least thought at the time. They've done it again today, and I reverted it and issued final warning. They then edited the article again, but this time only changed the DOB and changed the spelling of the name... and now I'm starting to doubt myself. Maybe this is a legitimate error-correction after all – I guess it's possible that a non-Latin script name could be alternatively rendered as Vishnoi or Bishnoi, ie. both could conceivably refer to the same person? I can't remember the content of the deleted sandbox draft and user page, and obvs can't see them anymore. Could you please check them and see if you can work out whether this really is a hijack attempt or legit? (Obviously if it's the latter, I'll need to revert my final warning and apologise to this user!) Many thanks, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:24, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
Likely sockHi Alexf. I saw that you blocked Crest Casinot but I wonder if Mares Cristofer should be blocked too. The content of their sandboxes is/was identical. That plus the fact that the two accounts were created within two hours of each other made me suspect that Mares Cristofer is a sock. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 16:54, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

That Nellyfurtado2024 block. Sock?Hey Ax. This reads to me like they’re claiming they make socks and get a kick out of it. The edit summary usage is also cause for wonder if this is someone with more clue than most newbies would. What do you make of it? MM (Give me info.) (Victories) 16:50, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
