edit-warring IP

[edit]

Before they blanked it from their talk page, you blocked 103.231.73.87 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) for edit warring. Would you mind taking a look at Talk:Peter Ostrum#infobox occupation & years and their associated articular edits? — Fourthords | =Λ= | 12:40, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. Oh, what fun: they're now following me to my other recent edits and reverting them w/o cause.Fourthords | =Λ= | 12:42, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Fourthords, thank you very much for the notification. The address is part of a /22 webserver/colocation network of Stark Industries and similar companies, which is now blocked for a year. Additionally, the specific user (independently of their IP address) is blocked for a month. If you see them evading their block, please create a report at WP:SPI and let me know. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:55, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks so much for your time! I'll keep an eye out. — Fourthords | =Λ= | 23:48, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It would seem they are now editing as 103.31.182.7 (talk · contribs · WHOIS). I'll head to SPI momentarily. — Fourthords | =Λ= | 02:09, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I hope I did this correctly: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/103.231.73.87. — Fourthords | =Λ= | 02:29, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
They have now seemingly moved on to 31.210.50.129 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) and Ban Fourthords Community (talk · contribs). I'm going to update Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/103.231.73.87, assuming I am correct to do so (and that I did it correctly in the first place); is there anything further I should do as I've seemingly attracted special ire? — Fourthords | =Λ= | 11:30, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much, Fourthords, the SPI is helpful. If there is obvious harassment continuing the behavior described at Special:Permalink/1249154433 from any account or address, you can also report it at WP:AIV for a quick block; the main difference between SPI and AIV is that AIV is quicker but should ideally only be used if the behavior is so clearly problematic that demonstrating block evasion isn't needed anymore. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 14:11, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not having used the SPI process before, please forgive me if my first response is to tap you on the shoulder, here, and double-check what to do. Thanks for all the assistance! — Fourthords | =Λ= | 14:15, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
All good, feel free to do so! 🙂 ~ ToBeFree (talk) 14:16, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Something odd at Zachary Levi

[edit]

You might want to check this out. The article is being heavily edited by someone named for one of Levi's characters.   –Skywatcher68 (talk) 15:17, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Skywatcher68, this appears to be mostly-harmless fan editing without a conflict of interest, but other recent contributions made me semi-protect the page. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 17:01, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
