Hi, just dropping by to tell you that although you did give them a 31-hour block message an hour ago, you didn't actually block them. Cheers, — Alien333 (what I did & why I did it wrong) 13:55, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Alien333 I blocked the /64. They are blocked. You can see the notice at the top of their contribs or check Special:BlockList. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 14:00, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Football Edits

[edit]

Sorry HJ Mitchell, I'm not sure if I've made an error to my edits on association football and Cuju and got IP banned. My partner works at the national football museum in Manchester and she noticed some errors on those pages. I had an account so adjusted them (specifically around how Cuju relates to Soccer). If my edits/citations weren't valid for any reason please let me know.

Thanks. Keldara (talk) 17:04, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Something wrong with IP vandal block

[edit]

Hi there. A few days ago you have banned 62.45.110.157 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) (after my request) for 31 hours. This looks like pretty weird term (I would've expected 31 days, or 24 hrs, etc), but maybe it was meant to be like that, I don't know. Anyway, after the 31-hrs block expired, IP returned to vandalazing pages immediately. Yet when i try to report him on ANI, the bot reverts my submissions with a comment that "user already blocked by HJ Mitchell" (even though that block actually expired). --BlameRuiner (talk) 06:03, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(passing-by user) It's removing your report because you added in the explanation {{vandal|2A02:A442:74BD:0:0:0:0:0/64}}, which is an IP range that is currently blocked by HJ Mitchell. It sees the vandal template, thinks it's a report, and removes the entire report. – 2804:F1...E9:11BA (talk) 06:16, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@BlameRuiner my anonymous friend is correct. I've renewed the block on 62.45.. now. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 08:42, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
