1.32.95.68

Hi. I saw you blocked 1.32.95.68 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) for a year. Was that intentional? In my experience, customers on this ISP aren't allocated an IP address for all that long – maybe several days or week, then they come back on a new IP address to cause more disruption. Sometimes range blocks are a possibility, but I generally try to avoid this because of the potential for collateral damage. I think half of Malaysia is on this ISP. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 06:54, 20 January 2018 (UTC)

@NinjaRobotPirate: Yes, it was, because of the high number of edits, but I realise now that was a bit silly. I've re-blocked it for two weeks; I used to block those IP's for three months, but I think I'll take your advice on board and reduce any future blocks to one or two weeks. Graham87 07:02, 20 January 2018 (UTC)

Yeah, that should do it. There's a vandal on this ISP who's been a long-term headache for me, and dealing with him has left me with a somewhat competent understanding of the ISP. Unfortunately, you're in for a lot of Whac-A-Mole. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 08:07, 20 January 2018 (UTC)

ATT Network block of IP 107.77.224.0/22

Hello. I was going to do a minor edit from my phone while at home and got a blocked IP message. I realized I was not logged in and also was on cellular for some reason. I did a test. Turning on Wi-Fi - or just logging in to my Wiki account - both let me edit. What a relief! But now I am trying to understand this. Was a block really implemented on a celular-service assigned IP range? How can that be effective? Doesn't that number get randomly assigned to anyone in range of a cell-tower, or maybe even a set of towers, and so it could affect hundreds or thousands of different people at any given time? Perhaps complicating it, due to poor service in my area, I actually have what is called a "mini-tower" in my house providing cellular service, which only my two phones are registered to use. I presume I was on that private "tower" when I got the blocked message, so that is doubly odd. Like I said, I can edit if logged in or on Wi-Fi, so this isn't a show-stopper, but I find the circumstances extremely curious. What can you tell me about this?

Jody Linscott

I believe that the article on Jody Linscott should categorize the percussion instruments she has played.61.69.217.3 (talk) 00:33, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

Blocked user Charles_e_Fromage

Hey why did you block my IP address? I just tried to correct something on the wiki page for my hometown and I'm getting the following message that you have flagged me for abuse:

"Editing from 2607:FB90:0:0:0:0:0:0/32 has been blocked (disabled) by Graham87 for the following reason(s):

Editing from this range has been disabled (blocked) by an administrator in response to abuse. Editing by unregistered users from this IP address range has been blocked. In rare cases, usually in response to serious abuse, logged-in editing may also be blocked. Depending on the size of the blocked range, the block may affect anything from very small numbers to several thousands of IP addresses. If you do not believe that you are the person this block is intended for, please follow the instructions below:

Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/Dog and rapper vandal"

I don't see any IP address listed in my computer that corresponds to that address. Over my time using Wikipedia I've made some minor, only constructive, edits. Please be careful about who you single out! Responding to your action has been a hassle to create an account, register, and figure out how to respond. Please explain . . . why? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Charles e Fromage (talk • contribs) 01:20, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

History merges...

Can always wait until something isn't on the main page as TFA. Courcelles (talk) 14:59, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

@Courcelles: Maybe ... I've done this sort of thing before though, and my answer to that hasn't changed much since then ... despite the temporary inconvenience this sort of thing can cause. Maybe I could've waited for that one, because not too many edits needed to be merged in this time, but ... what's done is done. I will tidy up the talk page though, but that won't cause any red links to appear in unexpected places. Graham87 15:06, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the information. I use a template that does include that piece so I will check your format for future use. Appreciate the help. bobdog54 (talk) 14:54, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

correction of the page Joseph Stalin

Dear Graham87 I would like to edit the page Joseph Stalin Specifically the following is factually incorrect: "An autopsy was carried out two and a half months later. It revealed that he had died of a cerebral haemorrhage and that he also suffered from severe damage to his cerebral arteries due to atherosclerosis." The autopsy was reported in Pravda on Mar 07 1953. It is two days after the death. It is indeed found the that he had died of a cerebral haemorrhage and that he also suffered from severe damage to his cerebral arteries due to atherosclerosis. Also it had found the Left ventricular hypertrophy which indicates the long term hypertension. How I can correct the factual mistake? The page is protected and it indicates you as a gatekeeper.--Armenius vambery (talk) 19:55, 10 February 2018 (UTC)

Dedham

Hello - There is a whole lot of activity on my watchlist from you regarding some edits to the Dedham, Massachusetts article. There doesn't seem to be any net changes, however. Can you explain what you did? Thanks! --BrianCUA (talk) 14:26, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

13 years of editing, today

Hey, Graham87. I'd like to wish you a wonderful First Edit Day on behalf of the Wikipedia Birthday Committee! Have a great day! Chris Troutman (talk) 07:18, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

It couldnt have happened to a nicer editor JarrahTree 07:32, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

@Chris troutman and JarrahTree: Thanks very much! And thanks also to Lepricavark for adding me to the calendar! Graham87 07:40, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

Happy anniversary, Graham! I was planning to improve the other Graham's article (my first) anyway today, because he's planned to be pictured on the Main page tomorrow, - now even more so ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:42, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

Hehehe thanks, Gerda! Graham87 12:44, 17 February 2018 (UTC)
