LTA range
@Acroterion and NeilN: I just took out 71.251.40.0/21 (talk · contribs · WHOIS), which has... quite the history, going back to October 2015. Just FYI, since you've dealt with this character. Regards, GAB 05:23, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
- Oh, wow! Some of those articles. Blast from the past. --NeilN 05:31, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
- 2021, good. A nice clean rangeblock. Thanks, Acroterion (talk) 12:48, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
Deleted articles
Hi there. I see you deleted World University Cross Country Championship as part of a block case. I remember the information there was valid, and possibly some of it by myself. Are you willing to share the deleted content so I can recreate what is useful? I would also be interested in any other athletics-related articles that were deleted as a result of this clean-up. Thanks, SFB 14:23, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
- @Sillyfolkboy: If you mean World University Cross Country Championships, then I'd be happy to restore it. GAB 17:48, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
- Yes, that would be great. Thanks! SFB 20:22, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
Done. UFAA / AIV
Hi GAB, Just wanted to say thanks for revdelling the edits of the editor I reported at UFAA/AIV a few days ago and I also want to apologise for not actually stating which edits needed revdeling but anyway thanks for dealing with that and again sorry for making you do the legwork there!, Happy editing, –Davey2010 20:40, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
Can you comment on a general issue raised by your block of Special:Contributions/185.165.168.117?
Please see this thread at the ref desk talk page, https://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia_talk:Reference_desk#Can_someone_block_82.43.223.98?, especially the unhatted part of it, which is the part relevant to the block you issued.
What I am wondering is, if the user deserved a month's block for using a proxy, shouldn't his edit also have been removed? Could you clarify, was the editor simply blocked because the address is know to be used as a proxy, or was the editor himself a blocked editor who just happened to be using a proxy which itself was an ok IP if used legitimately?
To me the situation is like the headline, man arrested entering window of house. Was he a known felon, who was caught entering a window? Or was his entering the window the crime for which he was arrested?
Please answer here so the other editors can see what's going on. Thanks. μηδείς (talk) 02:20, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
