IP Block exemption request

Hello @Zzuuzz please can you work on this list for me. Those without an account on this wiki but do have an account on other wikis can be created.

Hope to read from you soon. JDQ Joris Darlington Quarshie (talk) 12:48, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) I'm sorry to say this, but Zzuuzz is away according to the top of their talk page.... maybe you should ask another Checkuser. -- Prodraxistalkcontribs (she/her) 02:32, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Okay please can you help me with the link for the list of checkusers. JDQ Joris Darlington Quarshie (talk) 22:03, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ListUsers?username=&group=checkuser&wpsubmit=&wpFormIdentifier=mw-listusers-form&limit=1000 might help. -- Prodraxistalkcontribs (she/her) 00:04, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks a lot JDQ Joris Darlington Quarshie (talk) 07:41, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Joris Darlington Quarshie: how did this turn out? I think you may have found, also considering the previous request, that it helps if people are actually experiencing blocks. For Ghana, a block is almost certain, which is why I usually specifically mention that country when it comes to IPBE requests. For Nigeria, it's much, much, less likely. I'd prefer to hear about people who are either in Ghana, or experiencing blocks. -- zzuuzz (talk) 18:56, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Zzuuzz[1]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ListUsers?username=&group=checkuser&wpsubmit=&wpFormIdentifier=mw-listusers-form&limit=1000 This helps a little bit but my inbox still gets flooded with a lot of request from both countries. I have shared the ticketing system and the list of checkusers with multiple communities. Incase they do encounter these issues they can resolve it themselves.
However when need arises, I will definitely have to send in some list of editors to be reviewed and granted IPBEs if their contributions are in good faith. JDQ Joris Darlington Quarshie (talk) 09:38, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Should IP 204.116.209.8 be blocked?

Most of the offenses are more than a year old. Only one warning has been given in the past 18 months.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 22:46, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

zzuuzz's not around, and, as you can see, the block of the IP is a CheckUser block.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:50, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
So who do I ask for advice? I feel like I should delete the warnings because they're old. And whoever blocked the IP had only one recent warning.
I left a message for the IP in case it wasn't one of the offenders.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 23:09, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You don't need to ask anyone for advice. You need to drop it. I don't know why you're challenging the block. A CheckUser can see things that you cannot see. I've reverted your messages to the IP's Talk page.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:16, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That's the advice I was looking for.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 23:19, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Vchimpanzee:. I guess this is resolved, but yes I can confirm there's been some activity from that IP address that you can't see without being a checkuser. You might also want to see other IPs within the same /24 range which are part of the same problem. I'm very comfortable with this block. If I'm away in the future, you are always welcome to ask another checkuser about any checkuser blocks I've made. They might not tell you the details, but they should be able to indicate whether it's warranted. -- zzuuzz (talk) 18:56, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Okay. So this is not a case where I should remove previous warnings? Sometimes I leave these messages when there is a response on the Teahouse or Help Desk and see the IP has gotten warnings that no longer seem relevant.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 20:56, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm a bit indifferent about that really. It's a shared IP, so it's going to get reassigned, and has probably already been used by someone else. The older warnings almost certainly don't apply to the user who I know had it recently. The flip side is that any new message concerning past activity is unlikely to reach anyone relevant. Do we want to keep a load of irrelevant warnings that people won't notice unless they get a new one? There's an argument that some stock of warnings can be useful in getting IPs blocked quicker. But that's a philosophical discussion for some other time. Count me as indifferent. -- zzuuzz (talk) 21:23, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Revoke TPA

78.172.39.178 (talk · contribs) Now trolling on their Talk page and making unconstructive unblock requests. Revoke TPA if possible. — Prodraxis {talkcontributions} (she/her) 15:35, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

These things will often sort themselves out. -- zzuuzz (talk) 15:52, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Revdel request

Afternoon, would you be able to delete an edit made by user 86.136.33.250 on Laura Tobin please? edit has been reverted but I think should be removed from history too. Thanks, Moons of Io (talk) 15:54, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 Done. For good measure I also gave them a block for being an idiot. -- zzuuzz (talk) 16:06, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

IP Block exemption

Hi Zzuuzz, I hope you are doing great? Could you pleaase help me unblock the following users;

Name
S A Habadah
MartinezYA
Yaa kesewaah
Afia

Thanks so much for your usual cooperation. Kinvidia (talk) 20:10, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Kinvidia. I've done the first 3, no problem. I'm not convinced you've got the last name right, so I'm going to ask you to double-check it. Thanks. -- zzuuzz (talk) 20:23, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Query

Hello, Zzuuzz,

I saw you cleaned up some vandalism on Billy Cranston. I ran into the strangest new editor tonight, User:Macorition, who, after being active less than an hour, started closing AFD discussions and tagging articles for deletion! I blocked them for disruptive editing. I bring the case to you because one of their first edits was to set up Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/billy Cranston. I was hoping you could tell if they were a sockpuppet of whomever has a thing for this power ranger character. Thanks. Liz Read! Talk! 07:02, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Liz. Yes that's them. It's a pretty weird LTA with certain opinions about wiki administration. They've been closing AfDs, SPIs, and unblock requests, impersonating people and doing other trolling for years. See this very potted history. The power rangers thing is just them in the process of confirming that Sro23 is never wrong about sockmasters (it's a long story). So you'll see Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Billy Cranston and various other versions of this merge proposal have been deleted. I don't really care about it, but someone might want to convey to this user that they've misunderstood some things. Going forward, SPIs are all over the place, if there's to be one in the future, I'd say choose Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/BuickCenturyDriver. -- zzuuzz (talk) 08:40, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, this user seems to have evaded protection of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Billy Cranston by creating Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/billy Cranston, not sure if any action is needed there. —siroχo 09:55, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Even though I protected the page, an IP editor created Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Billy Cranston and a well-meaning editor moved it over the page protection. Liz Read! Talk! 02:09, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

IP Block exemption request 2

Hello @Zzuuzz. Happy to hear from you and apologies to send in this request late. Please can you grant IP block exemptions for the following participant who are taking part in a workshop tomorrow. Find list below and details of the event here. Thank you

- Robertjamal12 ~🔔 21:02, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 Done. -- zzuuzz (talk) 21:15, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you so much. Please include these editors Perbi Onasis, Assilidjoe and Lashie2000. Best regards-- Robertjamal12 ~🔔 13:15, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to need some help for part of that. Dear fellow admin, I'm currently on an AO ACB blocked range, so I'm unable to create accounts. (@Oshwah: Special:Diff/1119172670 seems to have reverted to its old behaviour, or at least still affect local creation of global accounts). Anyway, admin please head to Special:CreateLocalAccount, enter the username "Perbi Onasis" (see above), and a brief summary, and click submit so this account can be created and I can grant it block exemption. Thanks. -- zzuuzz (talk) 16:24, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done, see Special:Contributions/Perbi Onasis. Spicy (talk) 16:31, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Spicy. Robertjamal12: all done. -- zzuuzz (talk) 16:35, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello zzuuzz. We have an event this evening and tommorrow. Please grant IPBE for the following editors. Find event details here and here. Thank you --

Robertjamal12 ~🔔 13:59, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Robertjamal12: TAUFFIC445 is not found. All others, done. -- zzuuzz (talk) 15:56, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Okay thanks for pointing it out. The correct username is Tauffic445 and please also grant IPBE for Baabsimpson and Flacko2k2. Best regards -- Robertjamal12 ~🔔 17:51, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, please help grant IP block exemptions following editors @The Efua Resa,@Dede Bekideth,@Cliffysarp,@Ama Bridget,@Dufie2023,@Atalata Gumah,@Munkaila Sulemana,@ManteyCo and @Kwabena Adutwum to enable them partake in an event today. Thank you -- Robertjamal12 ~🔔 14:36, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Robertjamal12: Hi. The first two don't exist on any wiki. The others are done. -- zzuuzz (talk) 14:46, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Okay thank you, I will reach out to them and get back -- Robertjamal12 ~🔔 14:55, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hello again, please help grant IP block exempt for @pkappah, @Jadinaa1, Esmeralda Davis and @Wings Davis. Thank you -- Robertjamal12 ~🔔 23:43, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done. -- zzuuzz (talk) 12:58, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Help

Hi. I need help regarding this issue. I think the IPs are related. Thank you for your attention. ภץאคгöร 21:27, 23 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again. It seems this IP is also the same person, now accusing other users of "trolling" and "pushing an agenda WP:NOTHERE to respect the actual reporting". ภץאคгöร 07:14, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Based on the writing and the references used in the request, it seems this person has now an account, User:Themaninblack2023, and they stated that "certain ‘editors’ are WP:Gaming the page". ภץאคгöร 08:24, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Sigh. They can't say they weren't on notice. That account is going to get blocked. I'm just going to ping NRP, as it may be of interest. -- zzuuzz (talk) 08:43, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The registered account is CoffeeMeAlready. I reset and extended CoffeeMeAlready's block again and left a warning, which I'm sure will be ignored. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 13:04, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I apologize for reaching out to you again, but it seems like the same person is continuing their behavior with different IPs (not assuming good faith here, and replying "99.99% with 0.1% is Ben Shapiro and all your male fragility" to User:Jpcase's comment). In addition, I would like to point out another editor, User:Ageofultron, who reverted my edit that removed unsourced information, calling me a "vandalizer" and then added info to the same page while wrongly accusing me of deleting it. ภץאคгöร 13:23, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nothing really jumps out about that IP. It's in a different country to the previous IPs, which would be unexpected. Not sayin' they don't have some sort of chip on their shoulder though... -- zzuuzz (talk) 22:22, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nyxaros, your deletion of negative reviews on Padre Pio (film) seemed highly suspect. Vandalism was too strong of a word choice. However, User:2601:644:400:E930:6D5F:860D:A025:C841, who admitted to having worked on the film's production, was largely deleting criticism of the film from the page and adding fluff to make it look more positive. At first glance, it looked like you were both accounts. If not, then I apologize. Nonetheless, I restored the content you removed without providing proper reason, nor did you make note of this on the talk page. Both film reviews you deleted come from well-known film critics and had proper citations. As it stands, the film's criticism section is not excessively long, accurately reflected critical consensus, and thus does not warrant deletion of RogerEbert.com's & Armond White's reviews. User talk:Ageofultron 28 July 2023
I literally did not delete any review. I'm not sure how you came to this conclusion (and still think so), but if you actually clicked "view history", you would see. I edited the page first time by removing "the film received mostly negative reviews" only, which is an unsourced statement and a new thesis that isn't verifiable from the sources. One may add the film's negative response from religious publications/groups though. ภץאคгöร 05:22, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Admin's Barnstar
Presenting you with a well-deserved barnstar! Your exceptional contributions as an Admin have been instrumental in helping Wikimedia Ghana User Group by granting IP BLOCK exemption to trusted users in our community. Your dedication and support make a significant difference, and we extend our heartfelt appreciation for your invaluable efforts. Thank you -- Robertjamal12 ~🔔 10:06, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! You're not doing too bad yourself. -- zzuuzz (talk) 10:15, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Can I ask you to review this edit [2] and previous edits to the article as I'm not sure if this requires a rev/del? Many thanks. Knitsey (talk) 15:51, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done. I don't know what's true there or whether a reference might possibly have saved any of it, but that's a world I'm not going to delve too far into. I foresee a pending need for some semi-protection. -- zzuuzz (talk) 16:21, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I've never heard of her and I'm assuming there has been some drama elsewhere. I have the article on my watch list so if it continues I will ask for page protection. Thank you, Knitsey (talk) 16:24, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

LTA page move

Hi, since you have been dealing with Mooker22a would you mind moving User talk:Trey Meturin back to User talk:Trey Maturin. Just some slightly annoying page move vandalism. Thanks, Schminnte (talk contribs) 15:55, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Remark

I'm sorry but I'd like to ask you to not block me. My IP is changing every 30 minutes, and I don't have anything common with a long-term abuser that you usually cite, "Frank M...son LTA", except that both him and me are Lihuanian IPs on the same ISP. 50% of IP addresses in Lithuania are 90.13X.XXX.XXX, and I do not insert any information that's unsourced, let alone abusive one. I wrote into article about Nigerian new head of state that he allegedly converted into orthodoxy per Марков: Свергнувший президента Нигера мятежный генерал Тчиани «давно наш человек» (glavny.tv)., a Russian federal newspaper, but I won't do it again because other users have objections. 90.138.92.15 (talk) 18:54, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You've caused me to lose faith in Russian media. -- zzuuzz (talk) 19:47, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Should TPA be revoked for this IP address?

Hello @Zzuuzz.

An IP address [3] which you blocked two days ago for block evasion has started spamming random warning templates on their talk page calling it "In memories of The Great Wikimedia Incident." What do you think? 🛧Layah50♪🛪 ( 話す? 一緒に飛ぼう!) 14:35, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) Definitely. Done. Bishonen | tålk 15:10, 1 August 2023 (UTC).[reply]
Thank you! 🛧Layah50♪🛪 ( 話す? 一緒に飛ぼう!) 15:25, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. Weird huh. I've re-blocked without the anon-only flags, as that IP is a bit socky. -- zzuuzz (talk) 16:05, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest this

I suggest REVDEL the IP user who is vandalizing everyone's pages. Notrealname1234 (talk) 00:26, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

IP Block exemption 3

Hi @Zzuuzz, could you please help provide block exemption for the following users;

Thanks so much for all that you do. Counting on your usual cooperation. Kinvidia (talk) 14:24, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Zzuuzz, please help provide block exemptions for the following users;

Thanks so much for what you do. Kinvidia (talk) 22:25, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Kinvidia: Karimfuseini, Gomsweat, Yaisha59, Alhassan Amina zooyaa, Brains Ayishetu, Gaddafi25 all don't exist on any wiki. I need to have confidence that you're identifying the correct accounts. Thanks. I'll work through the others, it may take a little time. -- zzuuzz (talk) 23:23, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I am so sorry about that. I will get back to the users; there must have been a mistake in the spellings. I apologise once more. Kinvidia (talk) 01:16, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Zzuuzz please add this user to the list; Ama Bridget Kinvidia (talk) 14:02, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Dear admin, per the above request I need some local accounts attached to their global account so I can add IPBE. Unfortunately I'm currently sat behind an ACB block and can't easily do it myself. This is done via Special:CreateLocalAccount. I've prepared some links for all the relevant accounts to make things easier; you'll just need to amend the pre-filled reason if you want to.
Here's the accounts in plain text: Alolo1000, Abdallah Jabila, Fotosabdul, Sanbicogh, Issahaku imoro, Rafiatu222, N-YABA22, Sumanisayibu, DAWAI CITY, Lebe202, SaaniAbass1377, Laajo123, Sumanisayibu, AbdGaf, Abdelrafiiu
And here's their links: [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18]
Thanks. -- zzuuzz (talk) 19:47, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 Done all the ones you listed (thanks for the links), I'm not super familiar with this though so please let me know if I messed something up. DanCherek (talk) 00:21, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks a lot DanCherek, it was flawless. @Kinvidia: done (apart from those noted above). -- zzuuzz (talk) 04:03, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Zzuuzz, unfortunately we still faced IP block issues after our workshop today. They include the users listed below;
What could be the issue? Thanks so much for your continuous support. Kinvidia (talk) 00:41, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I have no idea. They each have block exemption for this wiki as of 04:03, 5 August or earlier. Maybe they experienced the issue on another wiki? If any can edit their own talk page, then we'll have more data to go on. The block message, or any other error message, would help. -- zzuuzz (talk) 08:24, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Barbie (film)

Hi. I am reaching out to you again because the IP that you blocked made a similar edit on the page again today (and I think this IP turned out to be User:CoffeeMeAlready?), before two other IPs (this and this) also made similar contributions. Page protection or more blocks may be appropriate to stop the same changes being made on a regular basis. Here is an example of edit difference, using duplicate bare urls, repetitive/unnecessary info, WP:FORBES and falsely claiming "well-documented prevailing consensus in the press" for critical acclaim (which only has Fortune (magazine) mentioning right now). ภץאคгöร 20:48, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
