209.250.175.169 block

doesn't this qualify for a ban instead of block? UnsungHistory (Questions?) (Did I mess up?) 18:37, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure what you mean. If you mean Hellocat99 (talk · contribs) then my answer is block, certainly. Materialscientist (talk) 00:50, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I mean IP user 209.250.175.169,not Hellocat99,unless you suspect Hellocat99 to be the account of 209.250.175.169? UnsungHistory (Questions?) (Did I mess up?) 18:18, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Same answer, unfortunately. Materialscientist (talk) 00:31, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You mean 209.250.175.169 and Hellocat99 are the same person? UnsungHistory (Questions?) (Did I mess up?) 00:41, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The IP and Hellocat99 are not the same user. The ip 209.250.175.169 operates on Oakville, Ontario. Hellocat99's IP is 135.26.120.92, which is based in Conroe, Texas. I know this because both the ip and accounts add racist, antisemitic, and homophobic slurs on multiple semi-protected pages since 8/3/23. See https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/135.26.120.92 for more information. 2603:8080:D03:89D4:5D63:1DB:6CFA:DC82 (talk) 23:53, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why Did You ip Block christs college

What did We Ever do Leo7510 (talk) 06:25, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) It would help if you gave us the article (we have several articles under "Christ College" and even more "Christ's College"). If you mean that Materialscientist blocked an IP from the college then give us the IP. Meters (talk) 06:45, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

he has blocked the school christs college in nz from editing wikipedia Leo7510 (talk) 21:07, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I believe it's User talk:114.23.26.225.

@Leo7510, the IP ban is listed as being issued for vandalism. This ban only applies to the IP address - not user accounts - and expires in 3 years. Synorem (talk) 20:50, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you have a moment...

could you perhaps look into what has gone on at the Enneagram of Personality page today, primarily in its History section? (Asking because in an earlier season, I was impressed by your work in various contexts.) We believe that the carte blanche reversion was too easy of a response, and threw baby out with the bath. We have no opinion on larger matters at that article—we simply found gross misuse of sources, and rampant WP:OR. We are now accused of editorialising, and of OR ourselves, which simply staggers us.

We won't further egage the reverting editor, as we see no point. But the article is not better for having been returned to its earlier state.

[To start, look for the quoted word "remedies" in the Wiltse citation (you will not find it, to aid that, here is a URL for that, which was lacking in the article), and then look to see if the citation of the "Brandon Medina" blog (actually by author = Medina, Brandon) does not point to a source that states the opposite of what the reverted article now again suggests. And the scholarly unraveling goes on from there.]

It is our view that the original edit, which was accepted by a registered editor—the article is protected, we do not know whom—should have been allowed to stand, and not reverted by a single editor objecting to the two of us. We suspect bias against us as a non-registered editor.

Surely, some editing of the product should follow. But reversion, so the errors that existed before our edit be returned—we suggest that pursuing that course was the poorest of options, for the sake of a quality article. The edits were not vandalism, were not editorial, and were not WP:OR (as claimed in the all too brief reverting edit summary). Cheers. 71.239.132.212 (talk) 05:26, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Sizo

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Sizo requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a disambiguation page which either

disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);
disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
is an orphaned redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 15:13, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-Protection of Lil Dicky

You semi-protected Lil Dicky back in 2019. Now that five years have passed, would you consider lifting the semi-protection? 174.93.89.27 (talk) 17:45, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

IPv6 disruption at Talk:Datta dynasty

Hi, Material, merry Christmas! Could you maybe do a rangeblock that covers the IPv6's at Talk:Datta dynasty? It's getting ridiculous, and I started listing the /64's that would be needed to stop it (since that is the limit of my understanding of IPv6 ranges), but gave up. Perhaps a long page-block of a much bigger range would be the best? Bishonen | tålk 04:01, 24 December 2024 (UTC).[reply]

I have blocked a short range, ping me if they resume. That region is notorious for their vast floating IP ranges. Materialscientist (talk) 14:05, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Bishonen | tålk 03:08, 25 December 2024 (UTC).[reply]
