"specified non-editing actions"[edit]

Hi there! FWIW, I just rolled back this edit] by 83.30.178.205 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). There was this strange edit summary "(avoid plague of TAB-s)", and as far as I can see, the edit resulted in nothing visible. I noticed that you range-blocked 83.30.0.0/16 in april for "specified non-editing actions", and I was wondering what this meant, and how this IP can still edit.

Note: here's another one: [1], by 83.30.189.138 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), with edit summary "(minus FULLWIDTH space)". - DVdm (talk) 09:10, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: looks like 83.30.151.164 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is narrowly blocked for a week by Extraordinary Writ. Given the above, that will probably not be sufficient. - DVdm (talk) 10:31, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Request to expand block on IP user[edit]

Hi, would you consider a full block for the user 2605:8D80:6A4:5E00:4159:1D20:2AAE:F476 (talk · contribs · (/64) · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) per recent edits? [2][3] Many previous blocks. xRENEGADEx ^{(talk | contribs)} 10:38, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@XRENEGADEx the partial block is on the whole /32 which is absolutely enormous. It's likely your juvenile friend here is a different person to the one who was causing problems a few months ago. We can block individual /64s if necessary but there's nothing on that one except those two edits so blocking it would be disproportionate at this time.

I know you're busy and not around much at the moment, but...[edit]

If you have any time, I've got a PR open on the Brighton bomb, running here; it may be of interest to you. Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 15:26, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@SchroCat definitely! I'm easing back into things now that real life is a bit more stable but I'll be sure to have a look. It's right up my street (almost literally these days!), and I might have some sources for you! HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 15:44, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent - always happy for more sources, and any comments, of course! Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 11:09, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
