Hello, I'm ], one of the editor on Misplaced Pages. I hear that you are one of the admins on Misplaced Pages, so I want to ask you for help. In the few months before, the article ] had an user name ] was vandalism the article so many. Since the ], there was no third place match. But he always edited the third and the fourth ranking on the ], which lead to many user have to reverted the article many times. He always said that the reason was he used it from the AFC website, although there was no source about it. I have already gave him a warning for this, but he said threatly for me and always said by using CAPSLOCK to tell many user when they said to him politely. I think this user not only used incorrectly sources but he also one of the dangerous user that threaten anyone. So this message today is can you help me block this user please? Because if anyone warning to him about it, he will not change and still violated to them. Thank you for reading this message. Hope you have a good time during this week. ] (]) 07:35, 17 December 2024 (UTC) | |||

(I expect you can just nod here without actually reviewing all the data in detail, or probably without even reading the UTRS ticket) I'd like to grant ] to {{np|Augustresende}}. That user is hitting one of your range blocks. The particular range in question has been quiet for a while and I suspect the UPE's have moved on. I did look in the CU wiki and see the seriousness. I can't guarantee that Augustresende is unrelated, but their behaviour doesn't immediately seem to match. The particularly IP address does not (according to spur.us) appear to be a residential proxy at this time. I think IPBE is a lower risk than lifting the range block, given the specific target of the range block. Thoughts? --] (]) 21:33, 17 December 2024 (UTC) | |||

Hello HJ Mitchell. I wish you a Happy New Year for 2025.
On the talk page of Philip Cross, I have expressed the hope that his indefinite block given in October 2022 could be reviewed by an Admin, as Philip has made over 200,000 helpful edits to Misplaced Pages and as per WP:AGF, my view is that Philip's edits were not an intentionally malicious attempt to bend the rules of his British Politics ban.
