IP affected by block
You are the blocking admin here. The block in question is on Special:Contributions/197.211.60.0/24. Now, my search shows this to be a mobile provider in, probably, Nigeria. This particular IP address does not appear to be an open proxy, but it's quite possible other IP addresses in the range are. If you, too, think it may no longer be an open proxy, would you consider changing the block to anon-only, so this editor can edit? They have no editing history here so it's at least plausible they are related to the blocked vandal operating from that range, but I can find no reason to believe this is true and I'd be a bit surprised if it was. --Yamla (talk) 14:21, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I've changed the rangeblock to anon-only, but I think you'll need to give this editor autoconfirmed in order for him them to edit. You're correct that I probably found a couple of IPs in this range that were proxies (it was October and I've slept since then) but we have four active sockmasters on that range. Nigeria is a mess about that. Anyway, immediate problem solved. Katietalk 15:11, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Nigeria is a mess about that, please could you please clarify this statement. and @Feyiwiki I'm glad you can edit now, welcome to Wikipedia! Mahveotm (talk) 19:51, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I mean we have a lot – three dozen, maybe more – active sockmasters operating out of Nigeria. Some are undisclosed paid editors, some are spammers, some are POV-pushers. We have to be cautious about undoing these rangeblocks because they prevent a lot of damage. I'm sorry if that bothers you, but it is what it is. Katietalk 02:32, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
