User talk:Ad Orientem

Welcome! Please read this before posting here.

If I left you a message on your user talk page or elsewhere, please respond there. If you leave me a message here, this is where I will normally respond. If you want to alert me to your message, you may ping me. (It is not necessary to ping me when leaving messages on my talk page as I am automatically alerted by email.)
If you have a problem or need help with something please leave a message. However, if your issue does not involve me personally, or is time sensitive/urgent, you may wish to request help on one of our noticeboards.
If you are here because you think I made a mistake somewhere, YOU COULD BE RIGHT! I am neither omniscient nor infallible. Let's talk about it.
Please be polite and remember to assume good faith. Also check the potty language at the door. I don't talk to other people that way and I expect the same courtesy in return.
While minor editing is fine, for the sake of continuity of records please don't delete comments on my talk page even if you later conclude you were wrong. If you want to retract a comment, just add a note or you can ~~strike out the text~~.
Private emails are welcome. However, in the interest of transparency; requests for administrator actions should generally be made openly either here or on the relevant noticeboard/talk page discussion. Exceptions where commonsense or policy/guidelines may require discretion, are understood.
Special note to admins: If you think I muffed something feel free to revert or otherwise fix it. Just kindly leave a note.
Experienced editors are free to respond to any queries on this page, especially if the message has been sitting for a while without a response.
Lastly, I'm a part-timer, so bear with me if I don't get back to you instantly.

If you have questions comments or concerns feel free to drop me a line below. Please post new topics at the bottom of this page, and remember to sign your message with four tildes (~~~~).

Potential Block Evasion

I'm sorry to bother you, but an IP is behaving similary to an IP range you blocked last November. You later extended the block due to block evasion.

The location of these IP addresses are all similar.

IP vandalism

The vandalism/disruptive editing of List of French serial killers has happened again, as I knew it would. This time from another IP address, but in the same subnet: 2804:49A4:4007:6D00:E9A7:F5E8:3538:24E1 (talk · contribs). Care to take a look? Thanks! Gawaon (talk) 14:05, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Gawaon I've blocked the /64 x 1 week and protected the page x 2 weeks. -Ad Orientem (talk) 15:13, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

revdel

Gonna be vague here, but the IP I reported for revdel also made many other edits with similar gross content. Gaismagorm (talk) 16:48, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Gaismagorm I will have a look. -Ad Orientem (talk) 16:54, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

alright, thanks! Gaismagorm (talk) 16:56, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Gaismagorm I've looked at all their edits and revdeled the ones that went beyond run of the mill vandalism. -Ad Orientem (talk) 16:58, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Also bumped the block to 6 months. I'm pretty sure it's a proxy and the only edits have been disruptive. -Ad Orientem (talk) 17:09, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

alright, thanks! Gaismagorm (talk) 17:38, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
