== Rep and link ==

Yes, I understand, Jamalar is reverted quite quickly, mostly due to the fact that I have watchlisted all related articles lol. [[Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Glassedphase]] will interest you however. I would like to say thanks one again for putting up with my constant posts, your help has been appreciated, it's a shame you aren't around more :-) — [[User:Realist2|<span style="color:#4173E4">'''''Realist'''''</span>]][[User_talk:Realist2|<span style="color:#D80B0B"><sup>'''''2'''''</sup></span>]] 22:05, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
:Hi again, at some point I think Jamalar will get tired of being reverted as a sock and will try to get the Jamalar account unblocked again. Thus I am regularly updating [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Jamalar#Note_to_admins this] list to ensure that admins know that Jamalar is still messing around regularly. — [[User:Realist2|<span style="color:#4173E4">'''''Realist'''''</span>]][[User_talk:Realist2|<span style="color:#D80B0B"><sup>'''''2'''''</sup></span>]] 20:31, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

:::Hi, [[User:Jamalar]] tried and is still trying to get unblocked, despite sock puppeting 15 minutes before trying to get the Jamalar account unblocked. Clearly we got the last of her accounts and she can't use IP's since you blocked them. I have made edits to Jamalar's talk page, trying to inform Admins of the level of Jamalars deception but she reverts my comments. I have a feeling she might get a lighter sentence by hiding what I know. She says that she has learnt her mistake, however she was socking 15 minutes prior. Its more a case of she's tired of her socks being reverted and has run out of accounts and her IP is blocked. She also claims that not all the socks were her (absurd, the edit pattern is identical). All the messages I left on her talk page are available in the history. I also have her talk page watchlisted so I'll notice anything you add. — [[User:Realist2|<span style="color:#4173E4">'''''Realist'''''</span>]][[User_talk:Realist2|<span style="color:#D80B0B"><sup>'''''2'''''</sup></span>]] 12:03, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi Spellcast - didn't mean to undercut your decline of unblocking that account, but by the time I went to post to the user's talk page I'd already clicked the "unblock" button.

== Hello Spellcast ==

A fellow Australian, i have seen numerous times in administrators block reasons through the edit summary that they use the hidden message <nowiki><!-- --></nowiki>, what is the point of this when its going to show up anyway just like you did [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=block&page=User%3A87.33.10.0%2F24 here]. Is it just a habit that people have gotten used to? I was always curious in this regard. On a different note altogether i want to say thanks for all your hard work on the wikipedia. I have seen you have made a habit of picking up proxies and blocking them, that must take a lot of skill i assume. I dont know much about computers myself but im sure not any old admin can do it. Are you a specialist in this regard? I assume you must/must have studied this in real life. Best, from one Australian to another editing from the Harbour City :) [[Special:Contributions/211.30.111.105|211.30.111.105]] ([[User talk:211.30.111.105|talk]]) 10:01, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

== Hi... ==

My schools IP address '''(170.185.76.19)''' has been blocked for quite sometime now and I was wondering when is that set to expire since the kids who did that are no longer here anymore. I created an account last year thats the only reason I can still get on. I go to the [[Alternative Learning Center]], sir. Thank you and Happy Editing.

Ok, thats fine. Sorry there was so much vandalism. So is it blocked indefinetly, a year, or what?

:[...] Out of curiosity, why not simply use your normal ISP? You were able to edit last year and early this year while the block was in effect. Spellcast (talk) 23:05, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
I recently underwent a transition from a rural to a urban setting. Here, I use a lot of Wi-Fi hotspots, as well as a university network. Neither is secure, being that my ISP is generally my university, and often a random coffee shop. [[User:Xorlev|Michael R. Rose]] ([[User talk:Xorlev|talk]]) 00:54, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

== Question about revisions deletion ==

You deleted revisions of [[MV Faina]] ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=delete&user=&page=MV+Faina&year=&month=-1]) and [[Talk:MV Faina]] ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=delete&user=&page=Talk%3AMV+Faina&year=&month=-1]). Your comment was "G6: Housekeeping and routine (non-controversial) cleanup". This puzzled me enough that I'd like to ask you what the actual reason was for these deletions. __[[User:Meco|meco]] ([[User talk:Meco|talk]]) 10:03, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
:In the edit summary, he gave his article on Encyclopedia Dramatica. I didn't want to give him the privilege of having an eternal "advertising spot". [[User:Spellcast|Spellcast]] ([[User talk:Spellcast#top|talk]]) 04:12, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
::Commendable, I suppose, however, you should have chosen a more suitable description of this reason. ''G6'' isn't really it ("Technical deletions. Non-controversial maintenance, such as temporarily deleting a page to merge page histories, deleting dated maintenance categories, or performing uncontroversial page moves.") __[[User:Meco|meco]] ([[User talk:Meco|talk]]) 07:21, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

== Trying to understand what happened to one of your blocks ==

You blocked 4.154.0.0/21 on August 25 as a result of [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard&oldid=234190135#Range_block_on_Soccermeko this discussion]. Today, I noticed {{userlinks|Readyseason}}, who smells somewhat like a Soccermeko sock (Hello Control is helping me evaluate his edits).

I thought the block should still be in place, so I went looking. When I use the rangeblock finder, it seems that this range is no longer blocked (see, for example [http://toolserver.org/~krimpet/rbhelper.php?db=enwiki_p&ip=4.154.5.153] and [http://toolserver.org/~krimpet/rbhelper.php?db=enwiki_p&ip=4.154.0.0]). Yet, the [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=block&user=&page=User%3A4.154.0.0%2F21&year=&month=-1 block log] seems to show that your block is still active. Is this some kind of cockpit error on my part, or has this block become inactive for some reason?&mdash;[[User:Kww|Kww]]([[User talk:Kww|talk]]) 01:30, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Noticed you blocked the page. An anon IP/SPA has been vandalizing the page today and a warning was left on their user page.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:65.44.117.2] Could you please revert to the previous unvandalized version before blocking again.

==Blocking IP adding MySpace links==
::Hi, thanks for answering. I'm trying to follow the letter of the law as well as the spirit of the law. In regard to my request to block IP 62.30.96.113, two aspects of this?

::1) Point 10 in [[WP:LINKSTOAVOID]] specifically says MySpace is to be avoided. I think you're saying: well, there aren't any other links claiming to be "official", so that will have to do? (If that's the case, then XLinkBot has a problem, because it automatically deleted that link.)

::2) The IP is ignoring a variety of rules, and I was really hoping to stop their behavior with this, which I thought was indisputable. However they have also a) added a link to a photo scheduled for deletion for copyright violation [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Theory_of_a_Deadman&diff=244461975&oldid=244441997], b) Removed a notability tag without explanation [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Matthieu_LeChevalier&diff=prev&oldid=217968827], and c) added a political appeal [[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Buffy_the_Animated_Series&diff=prev&oldid=229848101]].

::It seems to me they aren't paying any heed to the rules, and refusing to explain their actions. [[User:Piano non troppo|Piano non troppo]] ([[User talk:Piano non troppo|talk]]) 23:08, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

==Technical question==
Does the block that you placed on 75.125.163.128/27 address all IPs in the 75.125.163.xxx and 75.125.166.xxx ranges? If the following IPs are now blocked, I will delete them from my watchlist:
# User:75.125.163.139
# User:75.125.163.146
# User:75.125.163.149
# User:75.125.166.28

== {{tl|anonblock}} template ==

These IPs are have a {{tl|anonblock}} template in the block summary but appear to be hard blocked:
*{{IPvandal|121.54.108.42}}
*{{IPvandal|203.177.108.132}}
*{{IPvandal|203.177.240.215}}
*{{IPvandal|222.127.115.43}}
*{{IPvandal|222.127.26.41}}
*{{IPvandal|203.111.229.6}}
*{{IPvandal|203.177.108.133}}

They are tagged as sockpuppets of [[User:Gerald Gonzalez]]. I assume the template is for use in the {{tl|unblock}} template; if it is, then you may want to change the block summary as it suggests logged in users can still edit. Also, {{User|Mashedpotatowithsomegravy}} cannot edit as a result 121.54.108.42 being blocked, I don't know if it is likely to be the same user; if not then it may be a shared IP. —[[User talk:Snigbrook|Snigbrook]] 14:41, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Blocking this IP (202.156.14.74) is the same as blocking this IP address:[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:218.186.8.10 218.186.8.10]. It is a shared proxy used by a Singapore ISP. If you need to block this IP consider an anonymous block. A total block prevents a lot of legitimate and registered users from editing any page.

::Hi, I was trying to edit a page using the normal wikipedia login and have this warning message shown:

Editing from 202.156.14.74 (your account, IP address, or IP address range) has been disabled by Spellcast for the
following reason(s):

This IP address has been blocked because it is believed to be an open proxy or zombie computer. To prevent abuse,
these proxies may be blocked from editing Wikipedia .....

: likely open proxy / open port 80 / see also cospbbb.org/blog/archive/2008/09/29/202.156.14.74-singapore-spam

Regarding the spam-harvester link in the comment, all Singaporean users have to go through a government-mandated proxy. So I'm not surprise that the IP address will be listed as a spam-harvester.

To bypass the restriction, I had to log in to wikimedia's secured login, then retrace my steps as wikimedia does not redirect me back to the page I was, just to be able to edit any page. So I was just wondering if you are able to change the block to an anonymous block instead of a total block. [[User:Blindwaves|Blindwaves]] ([[User talk:Blindwaves|talk]]) 17:29, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

== 92.62.160.3 ==

Regarding this blocked IP: it belongs to Cyberia, one of the major ISPs in lebanon. Like all other ISPs in the country, Cyberia uses proxies to connect all of its users to the internet and this is one of them. Blocking this IP also blocks legitimate users such as myself from editing wikipedia requiring us to login to the secured server. I already added a SharedIP template and a notice on the talk page of that IP. Please reconsider the block against it, thank you.

Yeah, I just logged in and I am able to edit now. I don't know the IP I used yesterday, they are assigned so randomly. Anyway, I've mailed the admin who blocked. Can I start editing now or would it be wiser to wait for a reply and clarification from the admin before starting to edit. I also wish to apply for an IP-block-exempt. This is the second time that I had been blocked for the same reason. I don't know if I had been hard-blocked the first time around (that was in March 2007) but the blocking admin unblocked me on receiving my mail and I started after I was unblocked.-<font color="maroon" size="4" face="Monotype Corsiva">[[User:Ravichandar84|Ravichandar]]</font><sub><font color="aqua" face="Monotype Corsiva">[[User talk:Ravichandar84|My coffee shop]]</font></sub> 02:33, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

== Can you take a look at these? ==

OK, so I'm into de-POVing an article of actress [[Sarah Geronimo]], and found out that the images used in the article were copyvio, lacking a fair-use rationale, and are tagged for speedy deletion:

[[:Image:Sarah concerts.jpg]]<br>
[[:Image:Sarah theotherside.jpg]]<br>

[[:Image:Sarah awards.jpg]]<br>

Judging from the overly peacock tone of the article, it looks like we have another [[fanboy]] to deal with. The name's [[User:Geniusdream|Geniusdream]] - I'm not sure if he as anything to do with Gerald Gonzalez, but I think we need to warn him about his actions, since he's turning the article into a dump of unnecessary cruft.

The issue about the copied text from a website, I already revised it. And regarding the introduction, it is a summary of what will be presented on the succeeding contents and since the contents are too long, its summary would probably be long too, read it, the introduction is very generalized and not detailed and it only emphasizes on the profound details of the page. --[[User:Geniusdream|Geniusdream]] ([[User talk:Geniusdream|talk]]) 07:25, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
:Yes, but the reason why I removed it is because it is redundant is because of the fact that the text in the lead section has much the same content as the rest of the article.
