Recent block of IP:68.234.100.60
You may want to consider talk page revoking of 68.234.100.60 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) which you blocked recently. Looking at the block log, it was done last time, and the IP is blanking block logs from their talk page. Wes Wolf Talk 15:09, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
- I find it is best to simply ignore blocked users unless they are doing something that violates policy such as personal attacks. -- John Reaves 15:44, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

Hi,
When blocking this IP address, did you happen to see 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. 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 {{schoolblock}} is less likely to apply here. -- John Reaves 20:24, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
Blocked User:Weybridgeguy
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... - Tom | Thomas.W talk 21:21, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
- I only see one IP edit, could easily be an accident. -- John Reaves 04:11, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
A barnstar for you!

About your Articles
Hi John 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. Regards — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cb hashmi (talk • contribs) 17:21, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
UTRS reservation
Hi! You placed a reservation on this UTRS case 6 days ago, but you haven't done anything since. If you do not intend to review the case, you should release it so that someone else can review it. Vanjagenije (talk) 16:13, 27 June 2017 (UTC)
- @Vanjagenije: Sorry about that, didn't mean to reserve it. I hardly remember anything about resolving autoblocks. What's the procedure for dealing with autblocks now days? -- John Reaves 16:21, 27 June 2017 (UTC)
- How do you know it's an autoblock and not hard IP block? Vanjagenije (talk) 16:23, 27 June 2017 (UTC)
- I don't, thanks for the help though. -- John Reaves 16:46, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

The Rambling Man ...is continuing the edit war at WP:RY. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 21:15, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
- 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. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:17, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
- It's on the same subject. He's editing WP:RY in an attempt to make it absurd, possibly so that it could be modified to support his edits to 2017. (This is assuming good faith. He believes the guideline to be absurd, so he wants to make it clear that it is absurd.) — Arthur Rubin (talk) 21:21, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
- Rubin, you're coming close to recall now, so I'd advise you to pack it in. The fact that you allow regular RY editors to modify this "guideline" yet not me is beyond reproach, you're plumbing the depths and if you continue, I'll seek your desysop. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:25, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
