Ministry of Defence (India)

There were reverts; extend PC time? --George Ho (talk) 05:06, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up. It seems to have quieted down over the pass couple weeks. I'll try to keep an eye on it. Elockid 14:12, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

174.236.0.0/16 blocks

Could you reveal why you made 2 blocks on this range late last year? I'm currently dealing with vandalism coming out of it.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 07:22, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

The user above has been persistently reverting my comments and edits. I reverted an edit by this user for uncited content on an article. He later cited sources but I am concerned about his suspicions. I understand IP users usually are found vandalizing the site but this is ridiculous. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.236.68.115 (talk) 07:39, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

The issue in question is being discussed at WT:AFD. 174.236.68.115 (talk) 08:45, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

Given the pages they've edited it's blatant block evasion by at least one of them so I've blocked for a few days. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 08:52, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for handling this during my absence. Elockid 14:00, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

Massive 12bit 4,096 IP Address Block

Hi there :) Sorry to bother you but your massive block of the 173.255.128.0/20 subnet has caught within it one of OctaneVPNs Private, Pay only, Dallas, TX, US VPN servers at 173.255.139.216. It is my understanding that Private VPN traffic is encouraged and that more encrypted traffic benefits us all, so I would be greatly appreciative if you could unblock this address and even more appreciative if you or another admin could check the rest of their servers listed at http://www.octanevpn.com/server-locations.html - this is the second blocked IP I have hit this week, and being severely disabled it is not something i can check and address properly, even addressing the ones i find is painful to say the least. I suspect these have been caught in old blocks prior to OctaneVPN expansion into them, and I greatly appreciate your help both in protecting us in the first instance and in addressing this issue in future. Thank you for your help :) Myco Mycosys (talk) 02:10, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

I apologize for the wait but anyways I only block VPNs if they were used abusively. The reasons being are that they are being used by Chinese spammers or they were used by sockpuppeteers. If you qualify for IPBE, then I may grant it to you. Is there a reason why you're using a VPN (this will help if you want to have IPBE). Elockid 14:03, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

AndresHerutJaim

Hi, I don't know whether you are around at the moment but Special:Contributions/Hiefer_Kabalarian looks like another AndresHerutJaim sock. Same MO, edits to get autoconfirmed, then back to editing old favorites edited by many of his previous socks, History of Israel (e.g. User:Crandmeipait, User:SILtmediaup...too many to list), Israel Defense Forces (e.g. User:Elirhann Oraz89, User:Michael Zeev), Gaza flotilla raid (e.g. User:Michael Zeev), Timeline of Operation Pillar of Defense (e.g. User:IranitGreenberg), Iran–Israel proxy conflict (e.g. User:HammerKinFan, User:Elirhann Oraz89). Sean.hoyland - talk 08:03, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

Blocked and

Confirmed along with another sock which I also blocked. Elockid 14:04, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

IPv6 Rangeblock Request

Could you do a range block on the following ranges/accounts: User:2601:A:3680:6:64FD:8EF:6C57:F75D and User:2601:a:3680:6:23ee:322d:ac56:a151. The user running these accounts is a sockpuppet of indef-blocked user User:Zimmermanh1997. Zimmermanh1997 has a to his name.

The user has, just recently, began using IPv6 IPs, previously using "regular IPs". I'm hoping this will make it easier to block him without any collateral damage. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 23:42, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

/64 range hardblocked six months. The only collateral for /64 Comcast ranges would be from their household. Elockid 23:46, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

That's on both, correct? Rangeblocks confuse me. :) - Neutralhomer • Talk • 23:48, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

Yup, the /64 rangeblock encompasses both IPs. I was a little confused with the IPv6 ranges at first, but I finally got the hang of them. Elockid 23:51, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, I wasn't even sure they could be rangeblocked or not. :) I have much to learn. Thanks for your help. :) Take Care...Neutralhomer • Talk • 23:52, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

Glad I could help. :) Elockid 23:54, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

Joeyjoejoeman

He is not socking under the IPs of 108.94.64.165, 195.46.243.118, 175.106.48.196, 5.236.189.163, and 79.127.71.98. 2602:306:ce9a:860:c4ac:1d67:47a9:1d59 is spreading lies and socking under various weird strings of numbers, all coming from Richardson, TX, and you actually believe that Joeyjoejoeman is back and vandalizing Misplaced Pages. Those edits on Reno, NV TV pages were not sock/vandal. 107.161.16.205 (talk) 16:26, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

Honestly, do you think I don't know who you are?

12:12, October 1, 2013 Elockid (talk | contribs | block) changed block settings for 108.94.64.165 (talk) (account creation blocked) with an expiry time of 16:56, March 7, 2014 ({{checkuserblock}})

Since that IP was a CheckUser block, I can't disclose who you are really are publicly, but do know that I know who is editing behind the webhosts and other IPs especially since I blocked a number of them in the past. Elockid 16:51, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

Sorry for the whole Spanish thing.

Hi Elockid thanks for editing the Spanish language article. My friends got on and edited it but I thought he didn't save the changes. Sorry about that :)

No need to worry about that. Elockid 23:26, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

Special:Contributions/Andrewbf

Can you please block him for expiry set of indefinite? He did changed the genre without citation and source, and personal attack. 183.171.179.204 (talk) 03:47, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

I've blocked the account for 31 hours. Unless the account's sole purpose is to make bad faith edits, then an indefinite block may be an option. However, I'm not an expert in the subject area they are editing on, so I can't definitively say that they are here to solely cause disruption. Hopefully this block will be a wake-up call. Elockid 03:57, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

User:Hiefer Kabalarian

Hello, Elockid. I see that User:Hiefer Kabalarian has been tagged as a sockpuppet of User:AndresHerutJaim. Since you are the one who indefinitely blocked User:Hiefer Kabalarian, I ask is it your finding that User:Hiefer Kabalarian is User:AndresHerutJaim, or did you block User:AndresHerutJaim because he is tied to a different registered account? Flyer22 (talk) 07:46, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

Yup, I blocked Heifer Kabalarian as a sock of AHJ. Elockid 14:30, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the confirmation. I didn't see a recent sockpuppet case on that user and so I wondered. I'm not familiar with that user or his sockpuppets (other than having come across the User:Hiefer Kabalarian account), and I wondered if maybe he (as User:Hiefer Kabalarian) is the sockpuppet of a different editor that I'm familiar with. Thanks again. Flyer22 (talk) 15:48, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

Hi Elockid

Hello Elockid,

Can you please move these categories for me? Users cannot move the categories and can you help?

Thanks. Jaqeli (talk) 17:21, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

Apparently I can't move Categories either. I can only move the talk pages of the corresponding Category though. :( Elockid 17:27, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

What would you suggest? Are there any kind of move requests possible for categories to be moved? And where should I post that request? Jaqeli (talk) 19:18, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

I would try HotCat. Elockid 00:23, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

And can you for example delete the categories? I will create the new categories and could you delete the older ones? Jaqeli (talk) 00:36, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

I can delete the categories once their empty. Elockid 00:40, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

OK. I'll sort them out first and let you know when they're empty to delete them. Thanks. Jaqeli (talk) 00:41, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

Elockid, these three are now empty. Please delete them. Jaqeli (talk) 12:34, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

Done. Elockid 13:29, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

Suspicious proxies

These IP addresses ( and appear to be from proxy servers. They have been doing very nonconstructive and dispruptive edits. As far as I know, such proxy server IPs must be blocked immediately. Étienne Dolet (talk) 05:16, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

Where are you getting the information that those are proxies? Elockid 13:26, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

Please see under Services. Étienne Dolet (talk) 17:45, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

I've been told that how they determine proxies is incorrect. While it looks like they've got some correct, there have been occasions where they haven't and this looks like the case. Elockid 02:25, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

Suspicious activity

Dear Sir. I think I am one of the contributors using one or another of the above mentioned lines at times. I am not so profoundly knowledgeable about Misplaced Pages's procedures but I believe revealing personal information about others is a breach of privacy and should be impeded. Moreover, I assume, if there is a possibility, this violation should be sanctioned. Thank you very much. --212.174.190.23 (talk) 13:41, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

Though there is an outing policy, I don't think that this would apply here. Since you have been editing from an IP, your location can be more easily determined. Elockid 02:27, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

move...

Hi Elockid,

Can you please move Chosroid Dynasty to Chosroid dynasty? Just little "d" is needed. Jaqeli (talk) 22:36, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

Done. Elockid 02:28, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

Thanks Elockid. Jaqeli (talk) 11:33, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

Unblock request - UTRS

Hey Elockid,

When you have a moment could you take a look at UTRS #10595 regarding this proxy block? Cheers,--Jezebel'sPonyo 22:21, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

Responded there. Elockid 23:18, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

AmirSurfLera/AndresHerutJaim

Hi, Special:Contributions/AmirSurfLera looks like it could be another another AndresHerutJaim sock editing the same articles as previous socks e.g.. Sean.hoyland - talk 05:41, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

It's not AHJ but it is a user who has edited before. I'm not sure if they were blocked for sockpuppetry or indeffed blocked but if memory serves me, I believe this user has been blocked before. I just can't quite point my finger who this is, but they are definitely not new. Elockid 12:49, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
