BKFIP again[edit]

Their new IP address is 31.94.62.110. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 10:49, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked. Thanks! Favonian (talk) 11:18, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oop, and here's one more: 31.94.30.171. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 18:46, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ho-Hum. Favonian (talk) 18:49, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Penguins[edit]

Hi Fav. I bow to your superior knowledge on many subjects. I have a quick question: Does dopenguins seem a reasonable assumption for this? -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 21:57, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I think I have the answer, unless you have a different one, since I've came across DrelchWaggoon81 and DeCirca (talk · contribs · block log) in the same batch. I must brush up on these sock things. Off to do some re-tagging... -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 22:23, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Zzuuzz: In these matters, your superior knowledge is superior to mine. I was uncertain about the classification of this particular nuisance (see User talk:Bbb23#Potential sock (2), which coincidentally mentions an IP range of your acquaintance) and shall probably remain so. Favonian (talk) 15:03, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the pointer. I said you'd know better than me, and now I know where all the experts hang out. Anyway, there's some additional supporting evidence in this case which says you're right. -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 15:25, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Here we go again...[edit]

Their IP address is 194.168.147.164. Good luck. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 12:08, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, nvm. Yamla blocked them. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 12:08, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Titmouse Inc. Protected Question[edit]

Hello User:Favonian: I see that the Titmouse, Inc. article has been put on protected status. I have a COI request in this queue https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikipedia_conflict_of_interest_edit_requests. My question is, does this status mean that a volunteer editor won’t be able to respond to my request on the talk page? Thank you and best! JillTMouse (talk) 20:52, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@JillTMouse: The protection was only for 10 days and expired on March 25. Furthermore, it was only a semi-protection, so editors with 4 days and 10 edits behind them could still edit the article. Favonian (talk) 05:42, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

IP188.148.24.82[edit]

188.148.24.82 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Do you believe this IP has run out of WP:ROPE?? Despite a one week block, this was their first edit since 7 September 2023. It was to change the result of Fire of Moscow (1571) from "Crimean–Nogai–Circassian victory" to Ottoman victory. The only issue is the Ottoman Empire had nothing to do with the fire of Moscow in 1571.

Clearly this IP is not here to build an encyclopedia, but to disrupt and waste other editor's time. --Kansas Bear (talk) 17:09, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked, for a good deal longer this time. Favonian (talk) 17:27, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much! --Kansas Bear (talk) 23:01, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your opinion[edit]

Do you think Special:contributions/86.160.228.56 is BKFIP? See also WP:ANEW#User:86.160.228.56 reported by User:Felida97 (Result: ). Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:05, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Bbb23: The lecture at WP:ANEW and assorted edit summaries look a lot like BKFIP. Favonian (talk) 16:36, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ingenuity, I noticed you just blocked the IP for 31h for personal attacks. Any objection to my increasing the block to one month based on WP:BKFIP? --Bbb23 (talk) 16:39, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Bbb23: go ahead. — Ingenuity (talk • contribs) 16:41, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:04, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
