Would be out of place in a serious thread, but...

Recent IP block

Hi Malcolmxl5 - thanks for blocking this IP, who changed images in medical articles to images of video games. Just wanted to give a heads up that this is a long term vandal, and a 31 hour block might not be enough - see here for their previous IP's doing identical vandalism on the same articles:

[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

Thanks - BugGhost🦗👻 08:59, 26 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for that, Bugghost. I’ve reblocked for six months in line with blocks on other IPs and cited these in the reason for blocking. -- Malcolmxl5 (talk) 09:16, 26 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Recent deletion and request for SALTing

Your recent deletion of a page made by this LTA IP (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/125.198.46.115) should probably be SALTed to make sure no other socks pop up. Jdcomix (talk) 13:29, 29 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

It’s   Done. Malcolmxl5 (talk) 13:41, 29 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

New IP detected to go into your sandbox range calculator.

This one I am suspicious about... Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 20:37, 31 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Ah, Hazem! It certainly falls into a range that he uses. What is he doing? -- Malcolmxl5 (talk) 20:52, 31 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
I have raised my suspicions there since there has not been an investigation for ages. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 21:11, 31 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

RE redirects searching

Turns out intitle: was a bad example - I was thinking of this apparent fact about the search function (that it doesn't search in redirects), but I didn't remember where I saw it (and I'm pretty sure it's not documented, unless it's somewhere obscure). – 2804:F1...14:B176 (talk) 04:47, 7 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Oh well. As it happened, I went straight to JPxG's contributions and worked from there. No faffing around with searches. -- Malcolmxl5 (talk) 05:25, 7 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
