Sadly I have not been able to edit as actively as I would have liked to, due to a busier real-life schedule. Fulltime employment as a Keyworker for a British supermarket chain, has meant it difficult to find spare time to edit and maintain articles during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. However, I have not gone into retirement just yet. I have granted Alucard 16 permission to be a guardian of my talk page during my indefinite periods of absence.

Range block

HJ Mitchell has placed a range block, which can also be viewed on their talk page, and it causing major problems as I cannot edit a single thing, and I have done nothing to warrant a block. Wes Mouse 14:57, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

My apologies—as you can see from my talk page, the rangeblock was aimed at a particularly nasty vandal who evidently edits from the same range. I've granted you IP block exemption. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 15:02, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

IP block exempt

I have granted your account an exemption from IP blocking. This will allow you to edit through full blocks affecting your IP address when you are logged in.

Please read the page Misplaced Pages:IP block exemption carefully, especially the section on IP block exemption conditions.

Note in particular that you are not permitted to use this newly-granted right to edit Misplaced Pages via anonymous proxies, or disruptively. If you do, or there is a serious concern of abuse, then the right may be removed by any administrator.

Appropriate usage and compliance with the policy may be checked periodically, due to the nature of block exemption, and block exemption will be removed when no longer needed (for example, when the block it is related to expires).

I hope this will enhance your editing, and allow you to edit successfully and without disruption. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 15:02, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

Thanks, HJ, I really appreciate your swift action - and good work on stomping out those pesky vandals. If there is anything that I can help with, for example keeping an eye on pages that these vandals have been targeting, then feel free to let me know and I'll happily assist you. Wes Mouse 15:12, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

Thanks. If you felt like adding Yvette Fielding and Lizzie Greenwood-Hughes to your watchlist, I'd appreciate it. The amount of RevDel in the history will give you an indication of why I had to resort to extreme measures like hard rangeblocks. Best, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 15:18, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

OK I've added both. Ironic that Yvette should be one, I'm a member of a group on Facebook that Yvette and her husband Karl are also members of. Weird eh? Wes Mouse 15:23, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

Ha! Small world! HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 15:24, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

Not sure if this is of any help, but looking at the IP addresses and the type of range block that also affected myself - I wonder if it would be of help to know that I am using a 3 dongle, and if it is possible that these vandals may also be using the same mobile internet network? Wes Mouse 15:31, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, they use mobile broadband because it makes IP-hopping easier and is less easily traceable. I'll probably lift the rangeblock or soften it in a few days. Hopefully the nutter I was aiming at will have got bored by then, and even if they hadn't I suspect they'll have found a way around the rangeblocks. In an ideal world the WMF and real-life authorities would deal with this kind of abuse, but neither is really interested, so it's left to those of us who would rather be writing articles and the options are whack-a-mole (with lots of RevDel, protections and one-by-one blocks) or rangeblocks with the associated collateral damage. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 15:45, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

Whack-a-mole. Hmm that gives an idea for a new game... Whack-a-Vandal. Haha! Wes Mouse 15:48, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

A cup of coffee for you!

Thank you for all your hard work in creating File:EBU enlargement animation.gif. It really improves the European Broadcasting Union article and has plenty of potential. CT Cooper · talk 19:08, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

Thank you! Perfect timing with the coffee by the way, mine has gone cold. Wes Mouse 19:11, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
