Excuse me? I was about to undo unsourced and uncited additions to the article, no edit warring there at all - also blocking the page is quite an overreaction. These things happen all the time. Also you blocked the page with the destination chart severely damaged. Best regards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.217.118.246 (talk) 21:21, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
TomD55555 - socking?
Just a heads up - after seeing your post on the above user's talk page (had it on my watchlist from a previous incident), I'm mulling over whether to take it to SPI. I'm pretty confident that there's some kind of connection between Tom, Senshi_Jemuzu, Mattpao2023, and an IP editor from Waverly College - Tom, Matt, and the IP are all very interested in Waverly College and were editing around the same time, Tom created slightly-insulting userpages for Senshi and Matt, Tom found Senshi's edits surprisingly quickly for a new editor, and now we've got Tom getting autoblocked for being on the same IP range as Senshi. I'm not sure about whether to take it to SPI, though, because a) I suspect that this is multiple people editing from a school IP rather than one person, and b) the activity overlap was over a month ago, so it's not an urgent problem. What do you think - leave it alone or write up an SPI? creffett (talk) 03:07, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
- @Creffett: You're right about it being a school IP - at least, the one that triggered the autoblock is. TomD55555 must have access to at least one other IP, since they made edits earlier today without triggering the autoblock. I haven't looked at Mattpao2023 until just now, but based on how they were overlapping on Waverley_College it does look a lot like he and Tom are two separate people, I don't think an SPI would turn anything up.

Why did you apply WP:ECP to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Brandenn Bremmer (copyvio)?
First of all I see no rationale. Second, I'm not seeing any attempt at trying any other measures first as required by WP:ECP; standard restrictions seem like they would have been effective. Please adjust accordingly. Buffs (talk) 03:13, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

Unlock Request
You blocked me by open proxy, but in my country the internet service company works like this, I would like it to be unlocked in order to continue contributing to the encyclopedia my IP address is 192.254.99.49 and the account name is Polisofik, I am writing with a VPN because it is the only way to communicate with you. A greeting and good afternoon Polisofik (talk) 23:11, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
- Per WP:NOP, open proxies may be blocked at any time. The IP address you are referring to is infected with conficker, which is the sort of thing that really should be happening this decade. If this is your own IP, you can plug your IP address into https://www.spamhaus.org/lookup/ and you'll find some instructions to remove the infection. ST47 (talk) 02:45, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
Involved?
Hey, you blocked this user for personal attacks. However, you've also voted in an ANI against sanctions for the user who was the target of the personal attacks. It seems to me like you're too closely related to this case and it might violate WP:INVOLVED, but I could be wrong. ThePlatypusofDoom (talk) 05:05, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
- Look, if you're going to make an admin action and someone questions you about it, could you please respond? It's irrelevant now, but still it doesn't set a very good precedent. ThePlatypusofDoom (talk) 15:35, 6 November 2019 (UTC)

I have given this user his last warning regarding vandalism as you can see so may I ask, if you can keep a close watch on him? I will notify you if the user is doing any more vandalism and you can carry the consequences for the user.

Why was AgFunder deleted?
AgFunder is a legitimate business and happens to be one of the most active foodtech and agtech VCs globally. It's not clear why our page was deleted? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rdleclerc (talk • contribs) 23:50, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
