Spam farm you blocked
Hi HJ Mitchell, I stumbled across the spam farm you blocked and found
Logomaniyya (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · blacklist hits · AbuseLog · what links to user page · count · COIBot · Spamcheck · user page logs · x-wiki · status · Edit filter search · Google · StopForumSpam)
who registered a little after your initial block wave, uses the visual editor and has overlaps on links being spammed with other socks ([1], [2], [3]). Any chance you could check/block them? Pahunkat (talk) 18:15, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
RFA2024 update: phase I concluded, phase II begins
Hi there! Phase I of the Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review has concluded, with several impactful changes gaining community consensus and proceeding to various stages of implementation. Some proposals will be implemented in full outright; others will be discussed at phase II before being implemented; and still others will proceed on a trial basis before being brought to phase II. The following proposals have gained consensus:
- Proposals 2 and 9b (phase II discussion): Add a reminder of civility norms at RfA and Require links for claims of specific policy violations
- Proposal 3b (in trial): Make the first two days discussion-only
- Proposal 13 (in trial): Admin elections
- Proposal 14 (implemented): Suffrage requirements
- Proposals 16 and 16c (phase II discussion): Allow the community to initiate recall RfAs and Community recall process based on dewiki
- Proposal 17 (phase II discussion): Have named Admins/crats to monitor infractions
- Proposal 24 (phase II discussion): Provide better mentoring for becoming an admin and the RfA process
- Proposal 25 (implemented): Require nominees to be extended confirmed
See the project page for a full list of proposals and their outcomes. A huge thank-you to everyone who has participated so far :) looking forward to seeing lots of hard work become a reality in phase II. theleekycauldron (talk), via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 08:09, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

IP address blocked?
Hi there. I can't access my regular account (Looktowindward) as a block was put on my IP address (I think the message suggested my IP was within a 'range' that included accounts which you detected had been abusive). I tried to log-in to contact you about this, as I certainly haven't been abusive on here, but my could not remember my password - and the password reset page is blocked under the IP restriction. So I set up this new account to get in touch and ask if you could remove the block on my IP, so I can use the original Looktowindward account (i.e. so I can access the password reset and go in again that way)! I hope that makes sense and that this can be resolved. Thanks! Looktowindward2 (talk) 15:42, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
- Hi again. I've now reset my password for my original account (via a different wifi). I will try to access later from the IP address that was blocked. Looktowindward (talk) 08:19, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

Range Block
Hello HJ_Mitchell. Long time etc. etc. I noted just now as I attempted to gnome edit whilst logged out you appear to have blocked my IP via a range block. Fun facts and all that, but I rather feel you may have done this for reasons. I'm *not* going to reverse any admin action of yours (clearly) despite your header, as this relates to an IP not my account. But I do think you need to reconsider your range blocking if *um* it's blocking some *cough* IPs. Happy to discuss off-wiki. Pedro. Pedro : Chat 22:20, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
