Question
Hey there. I noticed you blocked 66.74.10.34, who was reported on AIV, after I had declined to do so and left multiple comments to that effect, including inappropriate warning and the wrong venue. Did you disagree with my assessment, or just decide to block anyway? Always looking to improve for the future. Cheers, Ale_Jrbtalk 19:42, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
- Hello. No you were right, however this is a complicated thing that I've been following for ages. I was considering the block before I even looked at AIV. Your comments, though well noted, could not dissuade me from taking into account the longer pattern of disruption (see my recent contribs and logs). -- zzuuzz (talk) 19:46, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
- OK, no problem - was just concerned, especially after the reporting user had already disagreed in a relatively aggressive manner. I just find it a little irksome when someone blocks a user on AIV despite a comment I've made saying the report is incorrect (when it is), which is why I'll never block over someone else's comment. Of course, if there's something other than just the report to go on, that's fine! :) Cheers, Ale_Jrbtalk 19:51, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
- I know exactly what you mean. -- zzuuzz (talk) 19:55, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

203.177.74.139
Hello Fred. I've been looking at the unblock request for 203.177.74.139 [1] for a while now. Though it has ports open I believe this is probably a closed proxy, restricted by ACL in some way, and therefore not available to our regular vandals. However your recent unblock and re-block makes me hesitate. I wonder if you could take another look, perhaps with checkuser, or explain what made you re-block. It seems to be part of a rotation between 203.177.74.135 - 203.177.74.141. Thanks. -- zzuuzz (talk) 09:36, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
- I don't remember exactly why I changed it in the first place, but having changed it, decided I had no good basis for doing so and put it back the way it was. Checkuser shows only responsible editing by the user mentioned and an administrator. The administrator continues to edit but is apparently using a different IP. I think we probably have a number of blocked proxies that are harmless. Fred Talk 13:09, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
Recent disruptive accounts on Mac OS X
Hi, noticed you've been dealing with the recent disruptive editor on the Mac OS X page.
I'm not sure of the process. How do we check if this is User:Primetime? He was disrupting the Mac OS X article previously using a variety of sockpuppet accounts, and this feels to me like it might be the same guy. AlistairMcMillan (talk) 23:35, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
- Hello. I blocked three sockpuppets yesterday, and this is an MO that I've seen before. To be honest I think it's not important what name we attribute to the vandal, however, since someone tagged them as Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of Validbanks 34, I would start with a new report at WP:SPI under that name. If you mention your suspicions, and any other socks you can find, a checkuser will do the necessary. -- zzuuzz (talk) 09:21, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
Thanks
For reverting the vandalism on my user page. I know who it was and I see the IP has been blocked again -- he's a fringe guy annoyed because he can't have things his own way. Dougweller (talk) 06:50, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
Hello, thanks for lifting my IP autoblock and created an exception for my IP. :) satr (talk) 10:23, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Your first article
FWIW I would imagine that using a permanent full protection on an article because of a single vandalising newbie, without even warning them first, should be somewhat controversial.- (User) Wolfkeeper (Talk) 13:56, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
- Hello. They received plenty of warnings, and the protection will be gone in a few hours. If you'd like it unprotected earlier but with an increased probability of blocking the noob who was trying to create an article, just say. -- zzuuzz (talk) 14:00, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
Rollback request
Greetings Zzuuzz - after my nth edit conflict with another editor while reverting vandalism, he/she has suggested I apply for rollback rights. I'd been meaning to do so for a long time, but the thought of having to download anything, as is the case with Twinkle, etc, I believe, onto my rickety PC kept putting me off. However, this latest editor assures me that there's nothing to download, so here I am, visiting an admin who grants rollback.
As I spend much of my time here on Wikipedia reverting unhelpful/vandal edits, it would be useful and obviously means I could spend more time actually cleaning up articles rather than merely removing bad faith stuff. Cheers! --Technopat (talk) 14:03, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for that! Sure, I'll read the user's manual. I might put my foot in it occasionally, but my intentions are good! Cheers!--Technopat (talk) 14:21, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
Another Rollback request
Thanks. I had wanted to do more editing on Wikipedia, but I seem to spend more time repairing vandalism than improving articles. I had avoided asking for rollback because I didn't want to focus on vandalism all the time, but it would have been useful with the Turkey–Kurdistan Workers' Party conflict conflict. Can I request rollbacker permission please? Good editing and happy hunting. --Alchemist Jack (talk) 15:49, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
Y did u delete my Ed smith from modbury page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by The-quad-rider (talk • contribs) 08:41, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) Hi there quad-rider. Yes Zzuuzz did delete the page. The reason he deleted it was because it appears to be about a person who is not significant. Please see WP:CSD#A7. For more you can study WP:BIO/WP:MUSIC, try comparing Edward to the criteria presented on these pages, if you feel he passes it, then please use WP:Deletion review to try and get the article restored.

Sock?
Why are you accusing me of being a sockpuppet? I have done nothing wrong! If you don't beleive me, go ahead with your silly accusations and get the IPs checked!
And what do you mean by trying the communities patience? I thought Wikipedia was the encyclopaedia for everyone? What gives you the right to speak for 'the community'? I think it's more that the fact the fixed so-called debate is not going as planned for you, and that is trying your patience! Edward1967 (talk) 12:16, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
- Hello. We deal with fake articles, sockpuppets, and anonymising proxies all the time. Wikipedia expects nonsense but has a limited tolerance of it. Most admins, if they were aware of your efforts to persist this article, would have blocked you already by now. Consider this a friendly suggestion not to use sockpuppets. Thanks. -- zzuuzz (talk) 12:25, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Block Evasion?
Hi Z~! Please take a look at this, and tell me what you think of it because I smell a big, fat rat and it is now frantically gnawing for page protection at WP:RPP. --Dave1185 (talk) 21:35, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
- Hello. An interesting user, though not one I'm familiar with. I came across the first IP because it appeared to have been blocked for too long. I almost changed the block length there and then, and probably will soon. I have no opinion on the merits of the original block. There are some strange similarities in how this user interacts, and it's quite likely they don't understand Wikipedia, or English, very well. But a first glance suggests it's in good faith. I would think the proper question is whether they are causing more disruption than benefit. No doubt their protection request will be turned down again. Someone should probably leave a short explanation on their talk page, but it would be better done diplomatically. I hope that answers your question. -- zzuuzz (talk) 22:25, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks! You have answered my questions, however... the behaviour of this IP editor does not seem like that of a novice, IP address hails from US of A and is able to understand how to use Wikipedia's feature without even batting an eyelid. Something is just not right about him/her, that much I can tell. Plus, he/she has just blanked my own user & discussion page for no valid reason, thus earning him/her a nomination by me at WP:AIV now. --Dave1185 (talk) 22:35, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
- You have been harassing this editor and nearly got blocked yourself. I have seen Jimbo edit from an IP address. -- zzuuzz (talk) 22:41, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
- Jimbo is different, he edits responsibly and IIRC, most of his edits (even if he was using IP to do so) are on his own discussion page or policy discussion since he hardly gets into the nitty/gritty stuff we'd face here on Wikipedia, except for him facing the occasional vandals, which are dealt with almost instantaneously. Anyway, thanks again. --Dave1185 (talk) 22:46, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

- I can't find any IPs matching that description, that I've blocked recently. Your current account appears to have been the only one to have edited Hisashi Kurosaki. You were probably either using the IP address of an open proxy, or you are using a school IP which has been used for vandalism. In either case I doubt the block was aimed at you, but at vandals. If you want to tell me what the IP address was, or tell me if it happens again, then I may be able to help further. -- zzuuzz (talk) 18:39, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the links. I was kind of trying to get the admin to show that they've been aware of the account for a few months, and no harm has happened in that time. Really I should just walk away and let whatever happens happen. So, that's what I'll do. Kind regards, NotAnIP83:149:66:11 (talk) 20:42, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
Hi zzuuzz. A day or so ago you checked the above IP for still being an open proxy and reported that it looks like it was closed here. Did you take any further action on this? I was just following up on the unblock queue, and Od Mishehu was saying he usually doesn't take any further action on these after reporting them to WP:OP. I don't mind following up, but I don't want to duplicate effort if you've already started on it (ie modifying the block or checking with the blocking admin). Thanks! Syrthiss (talk) 14:54, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
- Hi Syrthiss, I got distracted, and that WP:OP archiving bot's quick isn't it. I mentioned I think a softblock would be appropriate for this IP, as long as the hard rangeblock is in place. I've also asked Dominic about the range block on his talk page. He has since replied, and unblocking the whole range may, or may not, be something to try. But the IP is OK in my opinion. That's about as far as I got. Feel free to follow it through. -- zzuuzz (talk) 15:09, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
- Forgive me for asking stupid questions: I can't unblock a single ip in the range, can I? Do you have an opinion on which of the two (modifying the rangeblock to be a softblock, or to remove the rangeblock entirely for now) would be less risky? Thanks! Syrthiss (talk) 15:12, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
- Unblocking a single IP doesn't work, but the usual practice is to completely softblock and ask them to register. See for example:[2] I can't really comment on the range without looking a lot closer, but what's the worst that could happen? We can always block individual proxies when they edit, if there are any on that range. -- zzuuzz (talk) 15:26, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Please Delete My Wikipedia Page
On the assumption that you are some sort of Wikipedia editor, I would kindly request that you delete my page since, much to my regret, an ex-girlfriend (and mother of two of my children) has been periodically inserting sick and libelous comments onto my Wikipedia entry. I did not in fact post my Wikipedia entry and in fact most of the original info posted was factually correct. Unfortunately, my ex-girlfriend is still bitter after many years and somehow found my entry and decided to vandalise it. So I suppose the best thing for me would be to take down the page as soon as possible. I have no idea how this process works and even my lawyer has no idea how to remove the page so perhaps you can help me on this point. Best regards,

User 70.161.235.203 needs blocking again
I have been watching the Richard L. Scott article for a potential rewrite, but it seems to keep getting vandalized by the same user 70.161.235.203 in the same way. Apparently the block you gave him last time expired and he went right back to it. Could you review his conduct under the 3RR and vandalism rules?

Thanks for the help semi-protecting Sturgis Charter Public School
Too many IP vandals, too little time to revert and explain to every single one of them that joke edits aren't appropriate. Thanks for the help. You seem to have missed adding the semi-protect template (big or small) though. Not sure if that's intentional or an oversight. In any event, thanks. —ShadowRanger (talk|stalk) 21:25, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
- No problem, sometimes these kids can get too entrenched in their little meme. The lack of template is purely down to either laziness or good time management. Feel free to add it, or I may do later. -- zzuuzz (talk) 21:29, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Grawp's Being Blocked
When notified of the IP 65.92.127.234's changes to the Vandal Report Page, you blocked the IP. However, the AIV helperbot - if it can be called "helper" in this case - prevented the reversion of the placement of someone else - Grawp - in the IP's place (also done by the IP). This needs attention, as that user has been perma-blocked by the bot, probably erroneously. -RadicalOne---Contact Me 23:29, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
- The bot will always remove blocked users. Both these users are rightly blocked. The account has been blocked for some years, and the IP since I blocked it. They may or may not be the same user. -- zzuuzz (talk) 23:38, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
- If the user deserves their block, then all has ended well. That said, something needs to be done about the ability for users to edit reports of them. -RadicalOne---Contact Me 23:41, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
- Indeed, though it's usually the fastest way to get a block. -- zzuuzz (talk) 23:56, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
- Though with the bots as full-bore as they are, I doubt it would be noticed in time; I've seen bots do the blocking and then the subsequent removing from the list. -RadicalOne---Contact Me 00:11, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

- Has there been any discussion of how long to block them? Is there any possibility for them to become non-proxies in the future? One of them I hit had already been blocked twice before for being a proxy. Enigmamsg 00:55, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, they vary quite widely. Some might be open for only a few days, some, like the ones blocked before are likely to be open for a few more months yet, like maybe a year. But only a small number will be open more than a few months. -- zzuuzz (talk) 00:59, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Dreamhost
A lot of the recent WP:OP requests have come from Dreamhost ranges, IMO there's no logical reason edits should be coming from there except through proxies. How wrong would it be to just rangeblock Dreamhost? Q T C 04:09, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
- It wouldn't be wrong at all. But you could ask a checkuser to make sure there isn't anyone doing anything productive on the range first, just in case. Prodego talk 04:22, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
- Yep, in principle. However, as someone who keeps an eye on unblock requests I'm quite wary about rangeblocks on hosting companies. I've unblocked The Planet more than once and seen several other apparently obvious rangeblocks lifted after causing collateral. I would also recommend consultation with an experienced Checkuser. -- zzuuzz (talk) 10:05, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Do you have any proof that this IP actually is the admin Fastily, beyond the IP claiming that he is? ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 16:43, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
- I find the sandbox edits convincing enough. -- zzuuzz (talk) 16:45, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
- Why is an admin doing something like this? If he can't log in to his normal user ID for some reason, he ought to confine himself to normal editing, as it raises questions. And given some of the admin scandals in recent memory, they don't need to be adding to the general suspicion of admins. I should point out that, unlike some users, I continue to at least try to trust admins to do things the right way. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 17:33, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
- Well, I largely agree. It would be appropriate to at least log in to provide confirmation. I removed the AIV report in favour of ANI, as is the norm when there is already an inconclusive discussion without consensus and inactive/stale edits. I still don't think, however, that I will be blocking the IP. -- zzuuzz (talk) 17:42, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
- I was originally going to post only to AIV, but I had faith that I would get a better answer by raising it at ANI. So far I don't consider it resolved. I should have posted strictly to AIV in the first place. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 17:48, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
- I remain unconvinced that AIV would block it, but you're welcome to try again and I will leave it alone. -- zzuuzz (talk) 17:56, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
- No, I'm just going to leave it be for now. I'm also fairly certain now that it is the admin, I just would like full confirmation of it. I have been impostored a number of times by other users, so I'm kind of sensitive to this topic. If Fastily is being impostored, he needs to know about it. Everyone seems convinced that it's not an impostor, though, so the urgency level of it is not really there anymore. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 18:24, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

- Well, I largely agree. It would be appropriate to at least log in to provide confirmation. I removed the AIV report in favour of ANI, as is the norm when there is already an inconclusive discussion without consensus and inactive/stale edits. I still don't think, however, that I will be blocking the IP. -- zzuuzz (talk) 17:42, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
- Why is an admin doing something like this? If he can't log in to his normal user ID for some reason, he ought to confine himself to normal editing, as it raises questions. And given some of the admin scandals in recent memory, they don't need to be adding to the general suspicion of admins. I should point out that, unlike some users, I continue to at least try to trust admins to do things the right way. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 17:33, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

My Blockage
Hi I have been blocked on Wikipedia by you till 2014, because of using an unknown IP, but the reason for that is I'm using a VPN connection in Iran , because many sites are blocked by the government and I shoud use a VPN to open many sites and everytime it changes my IP and connects me to the servers in U.S. So I'm not a spam or something like that. Please remove my blockage. thank you. Bbadree (talk) 07:01, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
Proxies
Hi Zzuuzz, I was just wondering how you found out that this was an open proxy, and how I can find out if an IP is a proxy. Jeffrey Mall (talk • contribs) - 19:32, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
- Hello, I've started writing a convenient guide. This IP quacked like a duck, and has a confirmed open HTTP proxy on port 3128 [sic]. -- zzuuzz (talk) 20:49, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
- Nice one! I'll take a look through that guide soon. Regards, Jeffrey Mall (talk • contribs) - 21:07, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
Hey. Neat work Zzuuzz. I'll take a look (possibly adding some stuff as well. Hope you don't mind) --Kanonkas : Talk 09:37, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
- Please do. -- zzuuzz (talk) 13:11, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi Zzuuzz/Archive 18! Malvern College, an article you have edited or contributed to, concerns an important school. It still needs some urgent attention. If you can help, please see Talk:Malvern College#Lead Section regarding how it may be improved. --Kudpung (talk)
Thanks for this
I reverted the vandalism and will keep an eye out for more. Apparently this fellow has taken a dislike to one editor in particular, so there may be more as his IPs change. Thanks, Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 01:17, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for catching this. I'm watching an invasion thread on /b/, and it looks like I've caught their attention.

Thanks for dealing with that sock. Something gives me the nagging feeling, however, that I've seen that lout before... —Jeremy (v^_^v Boribori!) 23:49, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
