-*{{IP|216.109.5.2}}
-Hi,
-When blocking this IP address, did you happen to see [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Special:Log/block&page=User%3A216.109.5.2 the block log]? I've found that it's fairly common practice for admins to escalate block durations for long-term IP vandals overtime (schools, shared IPs, etc.). In general, short blocks for these types of IPs don't stop the vandalism for very long and they oftentimes quickly resume vandalizing, so I'm not sure if a short 31 hour block will stop them for long. Thank you. [[Special:Contributions/207.255.138.175|207.255.138.175]] ([[User talk:207.255.138.175|talk]]) 19:58, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
-:I considered that.  However, the last block was over a year and a half ago and it is summer so the previously used <nowiki>{{schoolblock}}</nowiki> is less likely to apply here.  -- [[User talk:John Reaves|John Reaves]] 20:24, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

-Hello. You blocked the user for disruptive editing on [[Chera dynasty]], where they were tag-teaming with an IP that geolocated to the same area (London, UK) and obviously was the same person, and judging by ''Autoblock #7583765'' they tried to pull the same trick again, i.e. edit while logged out, within seconds of getting blocked... -&nbsp;'''Tom'''&nbsp;&#124;&nbsp;[[User:Thomas.W|Thomas.W]] [[User talk:Thomas.W|'''''<sup><small> talk</small></sup>''''']] 21:21, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

-How are you?
-I have been reading your articles I found it very useful and interesting but at the end of that article about waqar zaka is not true at all. He is a celebrity of Pakistan. I personally know him very well. He is always trying to help poor people through charity programs and he also help Syrian people to build there house, schools and hospitals. So please I request you to remove that particular portion of article.
-I'll be very thankful to you.

-:No, it's a different content altogether, and Rubin is once again abusing his position as an admin to threaten me.  It's a very straightforward discussion, by the way, and something which it seems that regulars at RY are keen to hide, lack of quality.  By the way, Rubin, I told you to not ping me, this did, so please, as an admin, learn how to do this properly.
