I never used the VPN to edit wikipedia. I used it for another site. To my knowledge I never even visited wikipedia while the VPN was on, as I normally only enable it when using the e-learning website. I'm completely stumped as to why wikipedia is seeing me in an IP address block that I'm not in.--125.129.16.99 (talk) 02:37, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

You declined this user's unblock request, and then they faked your response to make it look like you accepted the request. Might want to remove talk page access (likely via page protection as its part of a wide range block)? 192.196.218.202 (talk) 23:12, 12 October 2020 (UTC)

XC40 SOP was in 2017 with production of first customer bound models starting in November 2017. The following source was provided: [1]
Relevant quote, dated 22 November 2017:
A new era starts for the Volvo Cars plant in Ghent, Belgium today as the first customer-bound XC40 small SUV is set to roll off the production line.
XC40 MY starts with MY18 as is normal with second half of year dates for VCC. Relevant source here: [2]
This does not take into account US specific dates or MYs. See quote from the prijslijst, dated 13 November 2017:
PRIJSLIJST Modeljaar 2018. [Price list model year 2018]
Are these sources sufficient or is there any reason for them to be unsuitable? First source was already given in the revert but ignored - why?

This user has only been blocked for 1 week, why should this user already be banned after only 2 sockpuppet accounts? --94.73.38.128 (talk) 17:02, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
You've been more patient than many editors would be with this editor.
I don't follow the administrative fora related to blocking and banning very much, but is there any general consensus that editors with "copyright competency" issues such as these can be topic-banned from File: namespace (enforced by a partial block) and set by an edit filter to "never autoconfirm"? Granted, that wouldn't completely help with the copyvio-text issues but it would allow editors whose only problems are in "File:" space to still contribute elsewhere in the project. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 18:20, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
I know you get annoyed that he keeps bothering you but it’s probably for the best if you tag his IP socks so this can be tracked, or leave a note on the talk page about current block evasion. He’s also banned per 3X. HurricaneTracker495 (talk) 20:30, 11 November 2020 (UTC)

Hi Yamla - hope you're well. When you have a moment, please can you look at this SPI case in relation to a block you made recently. On a related note, I think this user is a possible meat-puppet, and at best, WP:NOTHERE based on this, this and (the clincher) this. Thanks for all your help with this matter. If you need anything from me, just ping or drop me an email. Thanks again. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 12:25, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
I praise your service, you deserve more awards! However, I was looking at Sandbox history, and 101Enigma may need to be blocked, as looking at their edits, they may just be an account for promotion. You might not block them, but it's ok. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.211.241.5 (talk) 22:12, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
I just wanted to tell you how immensely, profoundly sorry I am about what I edited on Alex Hirsch. The last thing I wanted was to break the rules and I sincerely thought that what I was writing was constructive and important, especially since I had collected a couple of good sources on it (I was not aware that kiwifarms was not an applicable source, but during my block I found a Boundingintocomics page saying exactly the same thing. I am presuming that that source is an okay one). I am curious how Wikipedia would handle similar cases of people doing similar questionable things (like maybe Bill Cosby). You have no idea how much I regretted my actions and how crappy I felt during the block, knowing that I unknowingly broke the rules. Trust me when I say that I will never do it again and I will not even bother trying to put that info back on the site. I know I am on thin ice as it is, but believe me that this block has changed me and I will try to follow the rules to the best of my ability in the future. Again, I am sorry and I will try my very best not to do it again. Tyler Michael Mannix (talk) 02:44, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
Hi Yamla. Like for PerkinsWheeling, if you notice an account is confirmed to a globally locked user, you can report it to m: SRG. I did so for you. [1]. This also applies to Samlatop's IP socks. --HurricaneTracker495 (talk) 13:59, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
Hey Yamla. Thanks for your assistance the other day with a guy regarding Spanish colonization of North America. But just now I looked at this UTRS and noticed you were handling it. I have only one bit of information to add: The IP remains covered by a colocation-webhost rangeblock, and I don't see any reason to lift that. He complains about a certain IP of his being covered by that block, but the edits of that IP seem to be mostly vandalism. He also says he has a registered account which is being inconvenienced. (I think I can't say the name). If you look at the registered account, it is currently (on 27th November) making reasonable-looking edits to business-related articles. So he must have a way of reaching the internet that gets around the rangeblock. So I would be looking at how to decline his appeal — unless there is more to the story. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 01:34, 27 November 2020 (UTC)

1. The name of the country is North Macedonia, it must be placed in alphabetical order. 2. There is no "Macedonian heraldy", as there are different variations according to country, it must be changed to "North Macedonian heraldy", or to its wikipedia page "Emblem of the Republic of North Macedonia" 3. The "history of Macedonia" blog, which is used in both the national animals of Bulgaria and North Macedonia, is infamous for its historical distortions and fake news. It does not credit Wikipedia to use such a blog as a source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Avalantis (talk • contribs) 14:21, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

I felt like the phrase "sparking protests across the province" under Jason Kenney was a bit dramatic. So I changed it to minor. Why do you oppose this?
SweetMilkTea13 (talk) 19:32, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
Hello! You're obviously under no obligation to explain your administrative decisions to me, but I'm a little perplexed about a recent block you decided not to overturn for Mrbill66 (for the record, I have absolutely no connection to this user).
It seems as though the user added sourced content about a recent event into a BLP: [2]. Another user deleted the content, and said material would probably be more appropriate in the personal life section: [3]. I took a quick glance at the material and I agreed, so I moved the deleted content into the personal life section: [4]. Then, a different user said the material may have been misinterpreted and deleted the content entirely:[5]. It was at this point where Mrbill66 decided to revert that change: [6]. Muboshgu, the blocking admin, reverted the user and told them not to reinsert controversial content about a BLP without getting consensus first: [7]. Then, only a few minutes later, Muboshgu issued a 60 hour block for edit-warring to the user. According to the user, it seems like he was in the process of explaining his edits on the TP, when the block was issued. I really didn't see evidence that user intended on reverting Muboshgu's revert.
In summary, the user issued one revert to the page. To my knowledge, Raphael Warnock is not under any 1RR or 0RR restrictions. And, in the last 13 years, Mrbill66 has never once been blocked for edit-warring. I'm not necessarily asking you to overturn the block, but I do find this situation a little strange. Thank you for your time. Dr.Swag Lord, Ph.d (talk) 22:16, 26 December 2020 (UTC)

Greetings!
It has come to my attention that you referred to me as a failure in a private conversation with an online user. To that end, I must ask what knowledge do you have of me that deems me to be a failure? Quite the contrary sir, I am quite successful in life, despite your definition of success, whatever that may be. I have achieved a lot in 42 years on Earth, and have literally been around the world and back. It's pretty classless to speak ill of someone you know absolutely nothing about, wouldn't you say?

I stand corrected and I am so sorry for this grave misunderstanding. I was sent a message via my website from an "RMC Media" that specified your username and that they were banned from Wikipedia by you and another member of administration for defending my honor after you called me a failure.
After reading your note, I see where this person twisted your words to suit their own agenda. I was truly wondering if I had an enemy working at Wikipedia, LOL. Once again, I am so sorry for this confusion.

Hi,
A while back you blocked an aggressive anti-vegan user who was attacking everyone on Wikipedia as a vegan [8]. This user confessed to using this IP [9] back in November. The same user has been using IPs to attack me and other editors. I have seen this user pop up now and again. He's now doing it on the Atkins diet talk-page calling me and another editor a vegan activist which is not true. [10]. It's the same banned user because the IP traces to the same place. Is it possible to block this IP because he's been indefinitely blocked on his account JustANameInUse. Psychologist Guy (talk) 15:17, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
Hello,
This is the IP range of the district in which I go to school in.
