Special:Contributions/5.173.0.0/16

Hi, I partially blocked this range for a year (see above), but it was already blocked twice for vandalism for extended periods of time. I wonder if we should block it further. This is a very busy range. Opinions? Yann (talk) 20:32, 25 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

In my opinion one year block is fair enough. Taivo (talk) 09:49, 26 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Asemjodi, a sock of King.godrat

Behavioral match for King.godrat and Wikikar2, File:Boy in snow.jpg may be a direct reupload of File:A boy in snow.jpg and File:A boy in patukh.jpg?

File:Forms of government 2021.svg

Is there any ETA on how long the protection will be up on this image? Because it needs to be updated fairly regularly to match the changing political situations across the world and currently needs a few updates and/or corrections to certain nations. on it. GlowstoneUnknown (talk) 06:54, 1 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The protection (for edit warring) expires at the end of November. You can use Template:Edit request if you have a new version, however that is one of our more chronically backlogged processes. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 08:27, 1 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Unprotect Template:YouTube CC-BY/i18n

This template now uses the Translate extension, which means that any changes to the /i18n page only go live once a translation administrator accepts them. I think we can trust translation administrators that they won’t accept vandalism or legally incorrect edits. Could someone please remove the page protection so that anyone can propose changes by directly editing the page? Thanks in advance! (Note that Template:YouTube CC-BY is not protected by the Translate extension, so that should remain protected.) —Tacsipacsi (talk) 10:35, 1 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Also, Kiran exim (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log)  has uploaded an image with an identical filename. I can't see the deleted file, but presumably it's the same. Marbletan (talk) 20:49, 1 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  Done. You feel right: the same file. I blocked both sockpuppets indefinitely. Taivo (talk) 13:08, 2 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
