(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 and welcome to my talk page! If you have a question, ask me. If I know the answer, I'll tell you; if I don't, I'll find out (or one of my talk-page stalkers might know!), then we'll both have learnt something!

You're blocking people on your birthday?? Drmies (talk) 01:12, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

@Drmies I was (on my phone, in between other things of course!) but that was yesterday! Technically the day befire now! ;) Wonder if there'll be any vandsls to block on Christmas Day? HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 01:18, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
I imagine if I were an admin rn, it would be incredibly difficult for me to block someone on my phone (I'm in Bloomington on vacation with my parents and brother). Honestly, it would be pretty dang hard to focus on family matters and do admin tasks at the same time. ;) NoobThreePointOh (talk) 02:14, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
Phone blocks actually count double, my friend. One of my colleagues is in the UK right now and she tells me she was not prepared for the darkness, the wetness, the dreariness. I hope you are persisting. On your birthday, I was walking the dogs wearing jeans and an Alabama t-shirt, not to make you jealous of course. All the best! Drmies (talk) 17:21, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
You don't have to go abroad for darkness, wetness, and dreariness, just come visit me in NW Washington State. According to the web, the sun rose here this morning 4 minutes earlier than in London.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:29, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
@NoobThreePointOh surely you need something to distract you from family? ;)
The UK is a bit bleak in the winter. I miss the worst of it being in the bottom right corner (the prevailing wind is from the south west) but I miss the summer! I'm still wearing shorts though. Well, not right now, I have to wear trousers at work! HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 19:17, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
Oh, believe me. I've been begging for some snow, but my parents are incredibly dramatic and saying we shouldn't. It is getting colder, but in Charlotte it's feeling like a heat wave. We've still been getting high 60s this month, and I'm not crazy about it. For now I've been passing the time trying to play some video games on my computer to make up for the tiring time I spent getting all As for my classes this semester.

UTRS appeal #98192

Could you have a look at this one, please? Looks like a rangeblock caught someone you didn't intend. I'd like to restore TPA so we can handle their unblock on-wiki. Thanks. -- asilvering (talk) 17:48, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

@Asilvering I've restored talk page access as I'm not entirely sure I meant to block that (sometimes I do if there's a pattern of spamming on talk pages, especially post-block). I don't have access to a proper computer right now to do a deep dive. I can look in more detail on Monday or I see Yamla has been looking at it so I'd be happy to defer to him. They will have to turn off their VPN though. I'm pretty sure I hard blocked it anyway. If there's nothing suspicious on their home range a rope unblock might be reasonable. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 19:11, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
Cheers, thanks. -- asilvering (talk) 21:00, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
