Our reliable friend is back.

 * No, of course not. I just want a way to shut down abusive one-off IP editors using these proxy services. Won't happen anyway; it's highly unlikely such a thing would be implemented because of the additional server load.

A short explanation for why this IP should be blocked. AC9016 (talk) 06:25, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

There have been numerous instances of an anonymous user vandalizing The Mummy Returns. They have generally used a different IP address every time, although sometimes parts of the addresses are similar. I cannot say as a complete certainty that it is the same person, but they have been making the same change to the page every single time, reverting it to a past version of the page where the quotes displayed are over the LOQ limit, and the only captioned image of Arnold Vosloo, with the words "The creature will suck them dry and become whole again."

Of note is the fact that there is a trend of this anonymous vandal using similar IP addresses, specifically the first component on the left. 91, 92, 95, 178 have all been used at least twice each so far.

List of vandalism by anonymous user, listed by date and IP address:
 * 2022-12-22: 92.100.44.215
 * 2022-12-21: 95.55.133.219
 * 2022-12-21: 95.55.18.165
 * 2022-12-10: 91.12.8.88

 * 2022-08-06: 92.100.57.168
 * 2021-12-06: 92.100.44.96
 * 2021-10-30: 91.122.110.48
 * 2020-11-10: 92.100.102.46
 * 2020-10-18: 92.100.98.231
 * 2016-11-24: 91.122.12.37 (First-ever appearance of that captioned image of Arnold Vosloo, possibly the same user. It is even more likely because the first component of the IP address is 91.)

This anonymous user keeps switching their IP address and never leaves any notes or remarks in their edits. Blocking a specific IP address out of the many they have used could be done, but they will likely just keep switching to new ones, which I am sure is their point in doing that, to evade blocking. This same user has also begun messing with the page Optimism and I have been responding their as well, but on both pages, administrator intervention is required. --AC9016 (talk) 06:25, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

A short explanation for why this IP should be blocked. AC9016 (talk) 10:29, 22 December 2022 (UTC) This IP address has been used to repeatedly target the page on Optimism along with The Mummy Returns. I am most appreciative of the protected status placed on The Mummy Returns until June 2023; I think a similar status is in order for the page on Optimism. This user will probably be back, and will probably keep changing IP addresses, but this is the one they are currently using, and for whatever reason they have targeted a second page for vandalism. --AC9016 (talk) 10:29, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
