Oshwah[edit]
User:Oshwah, unblock pls. -- zzuuzz (talk) 08:32, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
- ACK! Sorry! I was trying to block another IP user and accidentally clicked on your username instead. Please accept my apologies for the mistake. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 08:34, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
You've got mail[edit]
It may take a few minutes from the time the email is sent for it to show up in your inbox. You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{You've got mail}} or {{ygm}} template. zchrykng (talk) 20:13, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
- Sorry, wrote that email too fast. It was on AN, and looks like it is good now. zchrykng (talk) 20:16, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
Please delete the n word report[edit]
it might offend people and that is just what the troll wants.PZQ (talk) 00:52, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
Inappropriate (illegal content) username spotted[edit]
Hello (From France)
I spotted a user with inappropriate username (apology to nazism).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Log
Please oversight this username and block indefinitely (and has vandalized in Fr Wiki)

--92.147.181.154 (talk) 17:08, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
Done thanks. For future reference you can also report such usernames to WP:UAA. -- zzuuzz (talk) 17:13, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
- I added my report in WP:UAA. --92.147.181.154 (talk) 17:28, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
- No sense in doing so when that user has already been blocked. IanDBeacon (talk) 17:35, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

Sigh... more fun I guess...[edit]
It's pretty much at the point where I can't even understand what the edits are even saying anymore..... lol ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 06:03, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
- It makes you wonder if oversight should be used. Or lengthy protection. -- zzuuzz (talk) 06:09, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
- Ugh, I know... there's unfortunately no silver bullet right now that will both stop the abuse completely and let all other anonymous users contribute to these reference desk pages as usual. The AbuseFilter is doing very well at dragging the rate of attacks down with the throttle currently set. The unfortunate part is that each disallowed edit generates an AbuseFilter log each time it happens, and there's no tool to suppress multiple abuse filter logs like we can when we rev del multiple edits and logs. We get to suppress each filter.... one.... by.... one. My thumb and pinky finger is getting tired with all of the tabbing and hotkeys I'm using to try and get them done in a somewhat trot-like pace... haha ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 07:16, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
Blocked proxies[edit]
Sorry for what is no doubt a stupid question, but after making that reversion on Wikipedia:Reference desk/Mathematics, where should I have reported it? "Blocked Proxy" doesn't seem to fall under either AIV or SPI. Thegreatluigi (talk) 06:19, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
- As it's a long term repeat vandal on a rampage, AIV (without warnings) would be appropriate. However for a slower more nuanced block, WP:OP can be used for open proxies. -- zzuuzz (talk) 06:27, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
- Oh I'm definitely hitting them with open proxy blocks just as you are. I'm just trying to keep up with all of the edits and abuse filter logs that need suppression and what-not... :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 06:32, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
- Ah, okay. Thank you. I just wasn't sure AIV was suitable since none of the four "reasons" you can give for the report quite seemed to fit. Thegreatluigi (talk) 06:36, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

Unprotected talk page[edit]
I see the Nazi troll has struck again. Thank you for removing. But I'm curious to know if the garbage was directed at me, or at other users? Or both? ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 13:01, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
- ISTR it was mostly random, but you'd need to ask an oversighter for more info. -- zzuuzz (talk) 13:20, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
- OK. Not worth the trouble. Sometimes I catch some of that stuff before it gets deleted. It's definitely worth deleting. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 13:45, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
- @Baseball Bugs: I don't have access to such material but I know that some of the people named on my page were not me. I don't know if I was named there since I didn't see all of it, but I know I have been named in other sprees of theirs. I think pretty much anyone who regularly contributes to the RD has been named somewhere and actually they've gone further as one of their recent target's sole contribution was a reversal of their nonsense so I'm guessing they're now just farming the name of any contributors to any of the desks.

Tvso1107[edit]
Please revoke talk-page access for Tvso1107. (I am not watching this page, so please ping me if you want my attention.) wumbolo ^^^ 21:17, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
Thank you[edit]
Thank you for your swift action in reverting the vandalism on my talk page. --Viennese Waltz 09:54, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
Another one[edit]
Are the edits by 177.137.207.242 more of those edits that should be removed? You have already blocked them.. Dmcq (talk) 22:50, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
178.16.6.175[edit]
Could you please hide the lewd photos posted by user:178.16.6.175. Thank you. CLCStudent (talk) 16:24, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
Refdesks[edit]
Thanks. If I may ask, did you do something to whitelist my current IP address, or what? --76.69.46.228 (talk) 23:40, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
- Hello. Of course you can ask :) It's a relatively fluid situation and we'll do what we can when we can to facilitate normal editing. -- zzuuzz (talk) 02:53, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
DragonOfShanghai block?[edit]
I'm curious about this block. Was there a WP:SPI that went with that? -- RoySmith (talk) 15:55, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
- Hello, no there wasn't an SPI. I could probably provide an investigation if pressed, but I'd initially prefer to just point accusingly at Huff slush7264. -- zzuuzz (talk) 16:05, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks. I only asked because of Special:diff/867315401. I've been trying to figure out why a brand-new user would give somebody a barnstar as virtually the first edit they've made unless there was some connection between them. -- RoySmith (talk) 19:34, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
A barnstar for you![edit]
| The Admin's Barnstar | |
| I see what you did, yet again--thank you. Drmies (talk) 18:46, 13 November 2018 (UTC) |
Thanks Doc. I know you don't miss much. If you don't mind I delegate this barnstar to Theinstantmatrix, Thegreatluigi, LakesideMiners, Abelmoschus Esculentus, CLCStudent, and several others who have been helping out take out the trash. I hear we're looking for admins you guys ;) -- zzuuzz (talk) 22:01, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
- zzuuzz, Aww, Thanks! I don't think I am ready enough to be an admin yet tho, still dont have alot of experence outside of vandle fighting. Mabey in one or two years tho(and when my spelling gets better ;). LakesideMinersMy Talk Page 22:15, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
You're on roll![edit]
but if you need a change of scenery, there's a party going on at the old barn. Favonian (talk) 20:43, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
- All accounted for. Shall we leave it open a short time? -- zzuuzz (talk) 20:57, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
Bad image list[edit]
You can take File:Tc.png off the list; Commons erased it and I had the local shadow deleted. Was this the goatse vandal again? Home Lander (talk) 02:10, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
- It was, and after factoring in the file name I defer this until later. -- zzuuzz (talk) 06:44, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
A serious matter...[edit]
I'd like to take the Standard Offer but could wave the six month rule? In return I promise to edit constructively, give up my entire sockfarm for blocking, and turn off the bot. What do you say, do we have a deal? Oh and btw contrary to what TonyBallioni thinks I really do have meticulous records of all my account creations going back to 2007. 187.109.80.62 (talk) 13:32, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
Please respond
Come on Zzuuzz talk to me, I'm bored :(
Thatcher was a much better CU than you
SAY SOMETHING
176.98.76.210 (talk) 13:41, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
- Patience. I do other stuff. I thought you were shuffling off this mortal coil? Trust is obviously an issue then, and obviously the first thing to do is stop the vandalism. But I can't make any promises about what the community will have to say, especially given your latest moment. I think it will take a little more than blackmail and asking for an immediate unblock. -- zzuuzz (talk) 13:44, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
- Alright I turned off the bot. Now, regarding my unbanning; since I never had a main account to begin with should I just start editing constructively under a new ip? But this is going to take some restraint on your part too. If you hit me with bans even when I ask and answer questions legitimately on the RD I will have to reconsider our arrangement here. 91.214.240.19 (talk) 13:57, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
- You should read what I wrote again. You are community banned, and will require a consensus at WP:AN to lift your ban. That's why I said it will take a little more. That's a British understatement. I mean of course a lot more. -- zzuuzz (talk) 14:02, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
- Well I'm going to give editing constructively a go anyway and hope our informal accord holds. 91.214.240.19 (talk) 14:09, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
- So let's be clear with one another. Unless your ban gets lifted (see above) you're going to get blocked again. It is not within any single admin's capabilities to lift the ban. -- zzuuzz (talk) 14:12, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
- I get that, but the WMF can't punish you for not taking action. If another admin blocks me I won't take that as an offense. But if you follow me around on RD blocking me every time I edit constructively for being a proxy that would be unfortunate. It's up to you. 91.214.240.19 (talk) 14:22, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

Sock on a proxy[edit]
Hi Zzuuzz, if you're around could you check 159.8.170.8 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log), it appears to be Shingling334 on a tear via a proxy (score of 95 "high risk" on ipqualityscore). Thanks... --IamNotU (talk) 15:51, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
- (talk page watcher) I can't speak to whether this user is Shingling334, but I've blocked the webhost they're using. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 16:17, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
