Request reason:

Caught by an open proxy block but this host or IP is not an open proxy. My IP address is 204.2.36.253. 204.2.36.253 (talk) 00:45, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Accept reason:

I've unblocked the IP range. It may have been reallocated, so I guess it's worth seeing what kinds of edits happen here now. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 01:59, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

NinjaRobotPirate, I don't know what the range was, but you may want to check it again. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 23:26, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I blocked Special:Contributions/204.2.36.0/24 as a proxy in 2023. It was being used by sock puppets. If it's just some random disruption or maybe even vandalism, normal anon-only blocks would probably be fine. I guess I was curious to see if more socks and spammers would flock to the IP range. It seems they haven't. I just ran a CU, and it's pretty clear of disruption outside of this IP editor. If more socks and spammers appeared here, I'd probably hard block it again.

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

Anonymous users from this IP address have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 month for persistently making disruptive edits.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 23:23, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

i understand i was editing disruptively. if i get unblocked, i will not vandalize the article namespace and i will make sure my edits are good.

Decline reason:

We extended good faith less than a month ago and were met with blatant vandalism. I think ScottishFinnishRadish is being very kind, blocking for only a month. Yamla (talk) 11:47, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know why you pinged me specifically, but I agree with my fellow administrators that the block should remain. -- Amanda (she/her) 05:44, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is the discussion page for an IP user, identified by the user's IP address. Many IP addresses change periodically, and are often shared by several users. If you are an IP user, you may create an account or log in to avoid future confusion with other IP users. Registering also hides your IP address.
