Requesting advice on using range block on Icelandic Wikipedia

Hello,

I would like to ask for your help regarding a potential range block against a contributor on the Icelandic language Wikipedia. The contributor in question was permanently banned by unanimous decision several months ago due to repeated breaches of policies and guidelines and constant uses of sockpuppetry. However, he has persistently continued to make similar edits using either sockpuppet accounts or numerous different IP addresses. His IP addresses typically share a range of numbers.

I wanted to ask you firstly if you think a range block is appropriate in this case and secondly, if you could then give instructions on how to perform the range block? TKSnaevarr (talk) 04:40, 7 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@TKSnaevarr: NF has unfortunately not edited since July. You might find more success over at the technical village pump! Ed ^{[talk] [OMT]} 04:46, 7 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, will do. TKSnaevarr (talk) 04:52, 7 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Ed - very on top of things. Cheers. NativeForeigner ^Talk 06:17, 20 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
