IP range
[edit]Been having issues with this IP recently at Ricky Zoom, keeps reverting back to incorrect information. They've also recently been at 2600:1011:A03D:A0C4:8571:790D:E44D:742A, and I've also seen other IPs recently within the partially-blocked /21 range, including this IP entirely vandalizing The Masked Singer (American TV series) season 13. I obviously can't see all the edits from within the /21 range given how wide it is, but given some of the disruptivesness/vandalism going on from other IPs within the range, I'm thinking it might be wise to expand the /21's block, and/or find a more define range(s?) to limit these sort of problematic edits going on. Thanks in advance. Magitroopa (talk) 19:58, 30 April 2025 (UTC)
- I've also just attempted reporting the /64 range at WP:AIV, but it seems to already think it is blocked, likely due to the current partial block on the /21 range. Likely needing assistance here... Magitroopa (talk) 20:04, 30 April 2025 (UTC)
- I just blocked them for a couple of weeks. Joyous! Noise! 20:27, 30 April 2025 (UTC)

Hello world
[edit]I came across your message at User talk:Cedelmwood § Hello world and thought you might want to know that Zaidorien was also doing the same thing, in case that helps with understanding the pattern. jlwoodwa (talk) 22:24, 3 May 2025 (UTC)

Sockpuppetry
[edit]Hi there, please join us at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Xenionyx8. I notice you have been dealing with some of the suspected puppets on the list, thank you. Audrey Woolf (talk) 11:05, 5 May 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks for the alert. Wow. I don't have much to add to the (unexpectedly extensive) discussion, but I have it on my watchlist now. Joyous! Noise! 19:45, 5 May 2025 (UTC)
- Apologies if this should be obvious, but could you let me know where to find the SPI you created or (if you didn't use SPI) explain how you knew they were sockpuppets before you blocked the accounts? Audrey Woolf (talk) 20:00, 5 May 2025 (UTC)
- I didn't create an SPI. The ones I blocked all made pretty decent edits (at least at first glance), but they buried the phrase "Hello world" in there among everything else, and they all had the "Todo" userpage. Joyous! Noise! 20:29, 5 May 2025 (UTC)
