Your close

 * Sockpuppet investigations/Ajhenson21/Archive

As you can see from the archive, you closed the report on August 22 because the filer had presented insufficient evidence of socking. I have no problem with your close. However, I had independently noticed a possible connection between Menia97! and Ajhenson21. The best comparison is to Gardo Versace 16. Both edited storm articles and the Ang Probinsyano season articles, which is a telling combination. Both are using a similar mobile device. Neither uses edit summaries (more's the pity for behavioral cues). The timing of the Menia97!'s creation (July 17, 2021) seems about right as there were no checks (that I know of) after June.

The evidence is not a slam dunk, but I think it's enough to justify a CU. What do you think?--Bbb23 (talk) 14:06, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment Menia97 editing and probinsyano which is same edit of Gardo Versace 16 (sorry I'm busy now) -- HurricaneEdgar    16:26, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
 * @Bbb23: The Ang Probinsyano edits that came after my close do make this highly suspcious (I might have endorsed if those had been there at the time I looked at the account) – I have no objections to a refiling with better evidence by you or anyone else, I just didn't have the time and energy to go diving for diffs that tie the hurricane edits to the archive (it's a large topic area, one I understand little about, and one ripe with socks of various masters) and hence closed on procedural grounds. --Blablubbs (talk) 16:36, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Being tired (and therefore more lazy than usual), let's see if I can avoid refiling: checkuser needed.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:41, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

Badgers
Hi Its good to know that badgers, which i'm particularly fond of, don't engage in sockpuppetry.  scope_creep Talk  17:29, 30 August 2021 (UTC)


 * @Scope creep: They truly are excellent animals! I only discovered that fairly recently (not sure how I managed to stay ignorant of that particular fact for decades), and have since started spending an excessive amount of time watching badger-related Youtube videos. I regret nothing. --Blablubbs (talk) 19:59, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Afternoon They have huge claws and teeth. Its well see its a youngster. I watch that Dodo channel as well. I watch this https://www.youtube.com/@wildlifeaid which is a uk animal rescue, as well. The amount of rescues these folk do is phenomenal.  I think without that women looking after that wee badger it would have had it. I always admire the folk do this.    scope_creep Talk  13:29, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

SPI disposition
I am bringing this to you at the recommendation of the involved SPI closer, User:TheresNoTime, who indicated they were "not going to be around much longer."

An SPI was recently closed that was started at Sockpuppet investigations/Thetranslaterofhistory, suggesting that User:Polynoir was the same as established sockmaster, User:Thetranslaterofhistory. An argument was made that while Polynoir was indeed a sock, it was not a sock of Thetranslaterofhistory but instead was one of a list of accounts belonging to a different master, the earliest of which was User:Mazulu1010. It was concluded that the whole set of proposed Mazulu1010 socks were ducks, while a CheckUser returned a 'Unlikely' diagnosis (I assume for the original proposal, that Poynoir/Mazulu1010 were the same as Thetranslaterofhistory).

As I understand it, the appropriate disposition should have been to create a new SPI master page, Sockpuppet investigations/Mazulu1010, and the latest dicussion relocated to that page, while the history of SPI/Thetranslaterofhistory should have been retained as that of a distinct master.

However, when User:TheresNoTime closed it, they renamed the entire SPI/Thetranslatorofhistory and its archive of CheckUser-confirmed socks to SPI/Mazulu1010, making this CheckUser-unlikely match the new sockmaster for the older confirmed sock. I am concerned this might confuse future sock investigations of Thetranslaterofhistory, who will undoubtedly keep coming back for more. I raised this with TheresNoTime as the closer, but as I said, they reported their pending departure and recommended I raise it with you or another SPI admin

What I think needs done is simply for SPI/Thetranslaterofhistory to be restored to its pre-move state with its archive, while leaving the newest discussion at the newly-created master account for SPI/Mazulu1010 and the current post-rename archive of SPI/Mazulu1010 (which belongs to Thetranslaterofhistory) removed. Agricolae (talk) 00:52, 3 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Update - the new case has now been archived at SPI/Mazulu1010, so it will now require deleting all but the most recent entry there with the remainder restored to SPI/Thetranslaterofhistory/Archive. Agricolae (talk) 18:45, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
 * @Agricolae: Thanks for the heads-up, I've been meaning to take a look; I had actually started archiving the case when I noticed the same weirdness and self-reverted. If undoing the merge requires use of the delete button, we might need help from an admin clerk, though. Best, --Blablubbs (talk) 10:58, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I am unfamiliar with how to 'split' when a move has resulted in combining two data streams that should have been separate, but it seems to me it may be possible to just go back to before things got messed up. If the Mazulu pages were moved back to Thetranslaterofhistory and its archive, they could be reverted to when the latest discussion closed.  Then the newly-created Mazulu1010 redirects could be retasked for stand-alone main SPI/Mazulu1010 and Archive pages, and the latest discussion moved there and archived just as would have been done at the original close of a case of 'not a sock of this master, but a sock of that other one'.  I say this on a theoretical level, as I don't know if there are any admin limitations that would block this from being a possibility. Agricolae (talk) 19:34, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Looks like it has been resolved, I assume through your intervention. Thanks. Agricolae (talk) 17:39, 9 September 2021 (UTC)

I thought I'd point out a typo (a missing letter b) in User:Blablubbs, but then thought that I could make the whole thing look nicer. After spending perhaps more time than necessary, here's my suggested replacement:

I’m way too excited about this that I’m not sure I have the right words to correctly express how happy I am for you. I’m thankful to the community and you yourself for stepping up and taking up this arduous task. It’s 55 minutes before it’s official, but yup! you are in.

Your request for adminship
Hi Blablubbs, I have closed your request for adminship as successful. Congratulations for both your successful, landslide nomination and for your place on WP:RFX200 - both are incredible achievements! As always, the administrators' reading list is worth reading and the new admin help pages are most certainly available if you feel that you might require some practice with the tools in a safe environment prior to applying them elsewhere on the project.

This may be cheesy, but I think some thanks are in order: To my noms and  for investing their trust and time in me (I owe you both), to everyone who participated for making my RfA a far more pleasant experience than I expected, for the many thought-provoking commens people left, and to, , , ,  and  for their congratulations above.

 * Aaaactually, given that Dihydrogen Monoxide's RfA was withdrawn, we can accurately state that Blablubbs' RfA is the bronze medal winner for the 3rd most support successful RfA in history. Also; you might want to take a look at User:Hammersoft/monobook.js; the last two lines there contain an import link for User:Animum's extremely helpful easyblock.js. This makes blocking for most standard blocking reasons as easy as one click. You'll be glad you installed it.

 * Congratulations, Blablubbs! Looks like I missed another RfA which is what happens when you check your Watchlist infrequently. But it looks like it was successful. My only words of advice are to not think twice about checking in with another admin if you have questions about taking an action. We all have our strengths and areas where we have less experience and wisdom is knowing that we don't know everything. Oh, and every admin occasionally makes a mistake so when it is pointed out to you (and don't worry, someone will!), don't double down, just take it as a learning experience. Good luck! Liz Read!

Congratulations on your RFA! I knew you'd pass. I'm sorry I could not be the first to support you as I promised. I was in the hospital.

Apart from conveying my best wishes and the obligatory congratulations, I would also like to ask you to be heedful for a potential burn-out: admins get a lot more abuse than regular editors, and the area where you like to work obviously is one of the worst. It will probably be more important than before to take a break from time to time, or to consciously focus on less controversial areas to uplift your spirits.

Challenging SPI
Hello Blablubbs! IF you have some time (and only if, because this one's a real piece of work), would you have a look at this SPI? Since the suspected master here is really persistent (I'm perhaps not experienced enough, but I'd say they're on the verge of becoming an LTA), it would be good to have a more SPI-oriented admin become familiar with their behavioral patterns. Since the CU check wasn't conclusive here and there's a longish analysis of the behavioral evidence, this would be a good opportunity to do so. But yeah, only if you have a lot of time to spare. Thanks! ☿ Apaugasma  ( talk  ☉) 11:49, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

 * @FDW777: Blocked the account and the most recently used IP. The underlying range is huge and hence tough to block, though it might be worth considering if this continues.

Superdeterminism - Request for Guidance
I have spoken to Mr.Ollie and Tercer. We are in a stale mate. I have proven that Wiki considers "Physics Essays" a reliable source. They disagree. You tell me who is right? Wiki itself has a page for "Physics Essays" which says it's a peer reviewed journal, and Wiki has at least 4 articles which cite Physics Essays. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics_Essays

I considered getting a Google translation, with a view to taking it into consideration for deciding on the block length, but decided not to bother. I might have done the same as you if I had seen it. Same outcome in the end, though. JBW (talk) 23:15, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

Wow!
Hey, I've just found out that you only recently got the mop. I'm sort of surprised 😮 to realise you hadn't already got it. I would certainly have supported if I'd noticed the RfA was going on, but luckily you somehow managed without my help. Welcome to the corps. Here's somewhere to store the mop when you aren't on Wikipedia. 🪣 JBW (talk) 23:29, 17 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Thanks, ! Regarding the section above: Not sure I would've bothered either, I checked because someone requested revision-deletion on IRC and I figured someone who jumps to a threat like that over a TV series stub probably isn't going to be a net positive to the editing environment. I presume they'll return, though. --Blablubbs (talk) 10:31, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

I think your range may be off
I think you were looking for Special:Block/81.177.3.0/24 or perhaps Special:Block/81.177.0.0/16? Anyway it's time for me to get some shut-eye so the timing is actually pretty convenient. I hope you'll forgive me for not linking tomorrow's IP to today in anyway. Since clearly that's the best way to avoid complications. Don't worry I'll stay well away from discussions I participated in on this IP to avoid even the appearance of impropriety. And yes I know posting here like this may seem a tad impertinent, which is not at all my intent, just trying to ease things along. Best Regards, 81.177.3.8 (talk) 19:57, 18 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Heh, this is a somewhat awkward conversation to have, but yes, you are correct – fixed, thanks. --Blablubbs (talk) 21:59, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

Thank you
Hi Blablubbs. Many thanks for your help with the spammers. I really appreciate the protection that you have added to my Talk Page. Regards, MrsSnoozyTurtle 23:36, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

Article talk pages
Hello, Blablubbs,

Just a reminder that when you are deleting an article, there is often a talk page (and maybe even archived talk pages) that needs to be deleted as well. If you look at Database reports/Orphaned talk pages, you'll see a number of pages you deleted where the talk page wasn't deleted. I think this can happen with some scripts that do mass deletions of pages, sometimes they neglect to delete talk pages when they delete articles. It's usually not a problem because a couple of admins will check the database reports daily so this is just a reminder to bring it to your attention.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me or you can ask another admin you know from the SPI world. Thanks! Liz Read! Talk! 05:11, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
 * P.S. I just ran into a vandal tonight complaining about you blocking them, so that's a sign that you're a real admin. ;-) Liz Read! Talk! 05:13, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
 * @Liz: Snap, I had run a mass deletion of some sock creations and forgotten about the talk pages – I went through manually after I realised that the massdelete script doesn't automatically delete associated talk pages, but one must have slipped through the cracks. Thanks for the reminder (and the kind offer for help) . The vandal there is an LTA, I got a few revert notifications from them and the rest of that farm earlier – thanks for blocking, I'll go request locks. --Blablubbs (talk) 08:32, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

 * @FDW777: I see what you mean, but I don't think there is sufficient evidence to block here, sorry – both only have a single edit, and I don't believe I've seen this master use edit summaries before; for what it's the IP has probably already been reassigned. I'll keep an eye on it, though. :) --Blablubbs (talk) 10:57, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

 * @FDW777: Yep, here: . Blocked the /64 for 31 hours. Currently pondering whether to block for a bit (anything narrower would probably not hold for long), but I have collateral concerns so I'll hold off for now. Thanks for reporting. --Blablubbs (talk) 11:54, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

Assistance re:List of ambassadors of the Philippines to the United States and possibly other articles
I'm requesting your assistance in connection to recreating the List of ambassadors of the Philippines to the United States article, particularly to check which parts of the page were added/modified by Izukumidoriya1227 so that I or another contributor can revive/rewrite it and possibly other Philippine diplomacy/foreign affairs-related pages that were deleted over a week ago. Additionally, the pages that were deleted were used to populate some Wikidata entries (example here). -Ian Lopez @ 14:20, 28 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi Ian, thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately, I won't be able to restore those pages. Not counting minor typo fixes and the like, all of the pages I deleted were entirely written by (otherwise they wouldn't have been eligible for deletion under CSD#G5); while I would, under many circumstances, be okay with restoring so that others can continue working on these articles, 's original block was for copyright violations, and violations continued with the sockpuppet . I hence assume that I may be restoring copyrighted material by undeleting these pages, which is not something I am willing to risk. I could however provide you a list of sources used in that article, if you would like. Apologies that I can't be more helpful. --Blablubbs (talk) 14:51, 28 September 2021 (UTC)


 * In that case, just provide me the list of sources for List of ambassadors of the Philippines to the United States and the following articles either here or via email (since they were also swept): List of ambassadors of France to the Philippines, List of ambassadors of Germany to the Philippines, List of ambassadors of the Philippines to Germany, List of ambassadors of the Philippines to the Netherlands, List of ambassadors of the Philippines to Greece, List of ambassadors of the Philippines to Australia, List of ambassadors of the Philippines to the United Arab Emirates, List of Canadian ambassadors to the Philippines (could be a redirect I dunno), List of ambassadors of Canada to the Philippines, List of ambassadors of the Philippines to Switzerland, List of ambassadors of the Philippines to France, Embassy of the United Kingdom, Manila, Draft:AllDay Supermarket (Might as well work on that for my first ever DYK or something) and May Nagmamahal Sa'yo (Not likely to work on that but another contributor into Philippine films/pop culture from the 1990s would). Please take your time in providing the sources. -Ian Lopez @ 15:15, 28 September 2021 (UTC)


 * I spent some time with find and replace – I think the below should cover it all.

Cheers for the heads up there. My general consensus is that if someones spotted an issue with any of my administrative actions (apart from blocks etc and where theres policy prevent immediate reversal of them etc etc) to fix them and apply a suitably large trout. Amortias (T)(C) 19:21, 25 November 2021 (UTC)


 * @Amortias: Looks like I'm the trouting candidate – I find American PD law pretty confusing, which is why I didn't want to reverse anything before asking; thanks for clearing things up, . --Blablubbs (talk) 19:23, 27 November 2021 (UTC)
 * No trouting one way or another, the URAA is so stupid and complicated that it needs a chart to even begin to make sense of. When Scorpion and I were originally chatting about these a few weeks ago I actually also thought they were PD until Sennecaster reminded me of the URAA and the Hirtle chart. It continues to strike me as ridiculous that the US can assign copyright to historical things that were never published in it but that's America for you.

Histmerges
I saw the note on Sockpuppet investigations/Anshumantiwariofficials regarding histmerges. I suspect what I'm about to say will be unpopular, but that's never stopped me before :-) When I was doing my clerk training, case merges were the most confusing thing for me.  As a software engineer, I firmly believe that when you've got a task which is repetitive, complicated, and error prone, it's something a machine should be doing for you.  People should be spending their time on tasks which require human judgement that machines are incapable of.  This really seems like something spihelper should be handling automatically, rather than generations of SPI clerk trainees struggling with the nuances of histmerges in their various flavors. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:42, 2 December 2021 (UTC)


 * , which part? spihelper can do histmerges (and imo makes them a whole lot easier), the manual way was even more of a pain since SPI can't use Special:MergeHistory. The problem with overlapping histories is not a technical one, we can do them, but it makes complete hash of the page history, and deciding whether two pages can be safely merged would be rather complicated to do programmatically (we can merge as long as the pages haven't had SPI sections open simultaneously) GeneralNotability (talk) 00:51, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I have always just assumed spi-helper knew what it was doing and whenever it asks me if I wanted to do a histmerge, I just say yes. Nobody's complained yet that I've messed up a case, so whatever hashing of the page history happens doesn't seem to be of much practical importance. -- RoySmith (talk) 01:05, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
 * , what happens is that the diffs are merged based on timestamp, so you get interleaved diffs that make no sense to someone reviewing the history later. GeneralNotability (talk) 01:16, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I supposed, but I'm not convinced that really matters. However, let me suggest another approach.  Right now, we've got two basic approaches: histmerge vs manual copy-paste.  People prefer histmerge because it's easier.  And you're saying it's hard to know when you can do histmerges vs when you have to fall back to copy-paste.  So, don't bother trying to figure it out.  The script could always do copy paste.  It's a pain for humans, especially since they then need to provide the appropriate attribution, but it would actually be easier for an automated process to do that because then it would always be doing the same thing.  One code path makes for simpler code.  It would not be as efficient, but I'm guessing we average maybe a couple of case merges a day, so who cares? -- RoySmith (talk) 16:07, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

I'm wondering the same thing. Citing RD5 doesn't at all explain what's going on here. schetm (talk) 17:53, 3 December 2021 (UTC)


 * @Schetm: Someone inserted a link to a website which in turn links to a dox of two Wikipedians in a context that places them at risk. After conferring with Joe, I've sent this to the oversight team for review. My apologies that I can't be more specific. --Blablubbs (talk) 15:34, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I totally understand hiding revisions that dox individuals. However, I wonder why hiding 114 revisions on the AfD and 148 revisions on the talk page was necessary. Surely not all of them were in violation. I'm also concerned if any AfD !votes were redacted, especially if there's another AfD (hopefully, not soon!) I also understand that confidentiality must be kept, but it is concerning to see a couple revisions I made disappear. schetm (talk) 01:10, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
 * @Schetm: They all contained the offending link, so any other form of removal would have been incomplete; I acknowledge that this was a judgement call and that I may have been overly cautious – I tend to err on the side of caution when it comes to PII disclosure. I hope to hear back from the oversight team soon. For what it's worth, it should be possible to make removed comments accessible again by copying them from the deleted history, adding them to the page in a new edit and then self-reverting again; I'll hold off on that pending a response from OS, but it might be an option to consider in case they decide the revdel should stay in place.

Query
Hello, Blablubbs,

I saw you blocked Saeidakhgaryan and Sheikh. .saeid for having multiple accounts and wondered what you thought of Arasalahi. It's a 5 year old account that just started editing yesterday, coincidentally, right after I tagged Ara Salahi with a PROD tag. Both of the blocked editors worked on this bio, too, a draft of which is on User:Sheikh. .saeid/sandbox. Thanks! Liz Read! Talk! 14:55, 9 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Hey Liz, sorry for the late reply. I did see that at the time, but noticed some differences in the editing pattern and decided not to pursue it. I see and  have popped up in the meantime; at a glance, those two look related to the accounts I blocked, but unfortunately I don't have the time to look more closely right now.

New message from Taking Out The Trash
Taking Out The Trash (talk) 22:54, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

Logged out editing
Please provide more specific evidence that you think those logged out edits are me. I am telling you they are not (except for the one that I already claimed), and I am telling you in no uncertain terms that there are hundreds of people on probably 5-10 different IP ranges because of how ISPs are set up in Indianapolis. This is a serious allegation against me and one that I'm not going to let slide. Also, I don't see how any of the edits are "unambiguously in violation of policy" - from what I can tell, all of the edits appear to be constructive and in good faith (I know I wouldn't revert any of them if I had seen them made in real time). And finally, I didn't edit war with anyone - I reverted once. That's hardly edit warring. Taking Out The Trash (talk) 21:39, 13 December 2021 (UTC)


 * @Taking Out The Trash: That isn't a regular ISP, it's an institutional network that you have acknowledged being on; a fairly empty underlying range, in fact; the last 500 edits on the /16 (the largest allocated block) go back to February 2019. Projectspace contributions are even more rare, with every single one since 2017 coming from a single, rather stable IP address. That IP is being used for two things: Occasional mainspace edits, often about trains – including a specific route that you express interest in on your userpage – and making projectspace contributions that could potentially make the commenter unpopular with other Wikipedians – i.e. evasion of scrutiny. In addition to some shared writing style clues, there is conclusive evidence which I'm not allowed to disclose on-wiki per the outing policy that you used that exact IP address within the last few hours. I am happy to share it with any interested functionary if that is desired. --Blablubbs (talk) 22:00, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Firstly, that isn't an institutional address, at least not exclusively. I'm aware that it geolocates at least in part to the University of Indianapolis, but that isn't correct as I've seen addresses within those ranges elsewhere in the city (my real-life job is computer-related). I believe that at least part of the ranges might be used by UIndy, but the chances are equal that they could also be used by IUPUI, Butler University, or any other schools in the area (as well as non-school use too). Remember that even a single IP address is likely shared by at least dozens of users. Whether all of them edit Wikipedia... well, obviously not considering how quiet the activity is. But the potential is there. I count one edit (one!) to the Cardinal article, and I haven't made any edits to train routes or the like at all unless I happened to revert vandalism/disruptive editing on one. Finally it is very possible that I used that IP address today. It is also possible that I didn't. You really can't make hard conclusions about this kind of stuff when dealing with this region, because there's so much traffic (or at least potential traffic) using a relatively small amount of Internet infrastructure. I reiterate that this is a serious allegation, a false one, that damages my reputation, and if you do not retract it, I will pursue further on-wiki measures. Taking Out The Trash (talk) 22:27, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
 * @Taking Out The Trash: You are free to do so if you wish. I believe the evidence is conclusive enough for a reasonable person to arrive at the conclusion of abusive logged-out editing based on it (I make enough rangeblocks to know what a busy range looks like, and this isn't one). It is getting late where I live, and I am unusually busy these days, so I will not be able devote as much time to a discussion as I would like – my apologies for that in advance. --Blablubbs (talk) 22:47, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
 * After further consideration this just isn't worth my time especially this close to the holidays. If the Wikipedia community feels it can freely spew what is essentially libel against me (not in the legal sense, but in the sense that what I have been falsely accused of permanently damages my reputation), I have no interest in being part of such a community. Bye. Taking Out The Trash (talk) 14:25, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

Deletion
You deleted the first page I have ever created and then stated I had a financial interest in the subject in which I created the page for. I do not have a financial interest in the subject, Quanda S. Francis. I have followed the subject for years, including my time in foster care. I am not being paid. The subject is important to me and others. Her accomplishment is our accomplishment and we are computer science majors that collectively worked on this page and we are not interested in seeing history be erased because it not “your history”. This is only the beginning for this extraordinary person that has inspired so many and as a first generation African American, leave our stories alone. Reboot40 (talk) 16:12, 17 December 2021 (UTC)


 * @Reboot40: I know it is tough to see something you worked on be deleted, and I won't dispute for a second that Wikipedia has a substantial coverage gap when it comes to people of colour. However, all subjects need to pass our notability guidelines in order to be included, and the community has very recently determined that Quanda S. Francis does not pass that bar at this time. Notability standards ensure that there is enough coverage to write verifiable articles, and hence help ensure accurate coverage, especially of living people. You recreated a near-identical article regardless, and I deleted it in accordance with policy. Just to make sure that I understand what is going on: You have no connection, personal, financial, or otherwise, to Quanda S. Francis, or her political campaign? Also, you have mentioned that the article has been worked on by a group of people, but you and an IP editor seem to be the only people who have made significant contributions. Are you folks sharing an account? --Blablubbs (talk) 16:29, 17 December 2021 (UTC)

OP rangeblock
Hey Blablubbs, just a heads up I revoked TPA for 8.217.0.0/16 which you colo blocked back in September. Nothing of value is coming from that range. --   LuK3      (Talk)   13:03, 18 December 2021 (UTC)


 * @LuK3: Thanks for the heads-up. Fwiw, I don't recall exactly what led to me going with soft ones, but those blocks should be ok to bump up to hard if there are signs of abusive proxy use. --Blablubbs (talk) 15:33, 18 December 2021 (UTC)

Increased block length
Just to avoid any possible misunderstanding, at User talk:Sangeeth Manoj Kumar, where you reset the block length and I said I might have blocked for longer, I didn't mean that as a criticism of your decision, it was really just intended to convey to the blocked editor that it might have been worse. In fact, having thought more about it, I don't think a longer block would have been merited, because although the block was evaded, there was no continuation of the kind of problematic editing which the block was intended to stop. JBW (talk) 16:25, 19 December 2021 (UTC)


 * @JBW: No worries, I didn't take it as criticism at all – my ping was partially with the intent that you could increase the block length if you felt that it's warranted; I should've made that clearer. --Blablubbs (talk) 10:21, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
