Take a look at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Oriental Aristocrat. Thanks Capitals00 (talk) 19:23, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
- The SPI is stale for a month now. Can kindly you issue the block? Thanks. Capitals00 (talk) 15:49, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
Saw that you blocked an IP for indef.[edit]
Dunno if blocking 92.62.71.236 indef was a mistake, but I just want to ask you because I saw the indef strikethrough and got confused. Toketaatalk 14:57, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks. I have unblocked them. PhilKnight (talk) 16:20, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

Gặp nhau cuối năm indefinite protection[edit]
Hi PhilKnight. Can I ask why you protected this indefinitely? That doesn't seem in keeping with WP:PREEMPTIVE. (Please ignore my mistake in changing the settings, I reset it back to indefinite right away, but I still am wondering about it being indefinite.) Thanks. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 08:18, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Daniel, that was a misclick. I have changed the protection to 3 days. Thanks. PhilKnight (talk) 09:13, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the quick fix and response, PhilKnight. Much appreciated. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 09:21, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
Finally that guy was blocked, haha.[edit]
My edit war with him was tough. There are some very hardcore trolls out there.. Alon Alush (talk) 18:28, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
Allegations of COI[edit]
Can you please restore my nomination at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Aquaveo? I see no reason for censoring the information about COI allegations wrt a number of article contributors, especially given our policies on socking. You can leave out the Wikipediocracy link if you prefer. Cheers, — kashmīrī TALK 03:02, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
- The link to Wikipediocracy is outing, so there's no way I am restoring it. I have restored the text per your request. PhilKnight (talk) 03:18, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
Suicide in the United States[edit]
I may or may not have been too conservative in making it three days, but please feel free to adjust as you feel necessary, you'll have no objections from me. - Aoidh (talk) 05:52, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks. Three days should be enough. PhilKnight (talk) 05:53, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

I don't know what the extent of the vandalism is since most of the edits have been redacted, but 172.97.196.182 appears to be the same editor as
- 172.97.243.207 (on a one month block)
- 172.97.203.125 (on a for six month block)
- 172.97.169.41 (blocked twice, both expired)
- 172.97.137.78 (blocked twice, both expired)
- 172.97.193.61 (blocked one, expired)
- 2601:648:8782:5BC0:2161:BA43:E83A:C5D (never blocked)
They seem to like to edit Talk:Chicka Chicka 1, 2, 3 as well as adding the useless leap year information to articles. ThaddeusSholto (talk) 17:47, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

Potential block evasion[edit]
Hi! I saw that you recently blocked a user by the name of Guy2024 for block evasion. Looks like there's one or two more accounts here.
This user page (by Okidontknowwhatisapeeson) was recently created, mentioning the blocked accounts, plus one unblocked one at Bruhuse.no. Both Guy2024 (here) and the presumably original account RANDOMISEDTOOMUCH (here) commented on that user page. Similar weird English & focus on topics like Mickey Mouse & Elsagate, plus no clear reason the accounts should know the others exist. Schrödinger's jellyfish ✉ 17:54, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

Multiple IP's[edit]
Hello PhilKnight. Not sure if this will help, but I believe you blocked a few IP's that have had edits reverted due to the infobox flag. You must have seen them, they usually have Materialscientist, Yoshi and Escape Orbit reverted multiple times in the history. I'm not good at sending links to people. Maybe I can type IP addresses here and you can see if a block is warranted. Special:Contributions/2.51.9.182, Special:Contributions/2001:8F8:1361:53A3:318D:E62D:E986:AF2F, Special:Contributions/2001:8F8:1361:3DB7:38D3:3880:BA63:23B7,Special:Contributions/2001:8F8:1361:13D:DC1F:35EF:75DD:AF4 and Special:Contributions/2001:8F8:1361:3DB7:3597:3403:23D4:9FD8. This is not ending and multiple addresses continue to be made weekly and/or monthly. You can check my contribution page if that makes it easier. You'll know when you see a bunch of Pakistan related reverts by me. I'm working on cleaning some up now. Thanks for your help. Regards, Bringingthewood (talk) 06:33, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks. I blocked another range. PhilKnight (talk) 17:19, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
- No, thank you! I hate to bother you with these. Hope you don't mind if I send a link when I see it. I could continue using this message, not to litter your board anymore. Thanks again! Regards, Bringingthewood (talk) 22:15, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
- I went through the revision of a page they were destroying and found a few more Special:Contributions/2001:8F8:1869:7A6:9494:8B38:B6AB:34F9, Special:Contributions/2400:ADC1:1F0:400:D097:2466:A1DB:8B3C and Special:Contributions/2400:ADC1:1F0:400:940:4FA7:C4D9:AF96. You took care of the rest of that page already. I went back to the beginning of 2024. If they use 2023 IP's, I'll be sure to see them. Thank you once again for all the help. Bringingthewood (talk) 23:29, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks. Range blocking 2001:8F8:1869:7A6:9494:8B38:B6AB:34F9 would cause too much collateral damage. I range blocked the other 2 IPs. I would recommend stopping there - going in to 2023 would be diminishing returns as they would be stale. Thanks again. PhilKnight (talk) 23:47, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
- You're welcome. Yeah, I was getting that overkill feeling, so I stopped. They'll probably find a way again I'm sure. I'll just keep it current. Enjoy your week! Regards, Bringingthewood (talk) 00:05, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi
There is an IP who is posting personal attacks on their own talk page. The IP is already blocked so reporting to AIV would be of no use. Would you consider removing their talk page access?
Thanks - TLJ7863 (talk) 23:58, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
