Topic on User talk:Graham87/Flow

No need to keep a one year old thread open without any productive discussion. It is being vandalized.

I made a legitimate temporary correction regarding Sean Spicer's incumbency as the White House Press Secretary, since the day and I am writing this he resigned from office.

Why am I blocked? This is absolutely ridiculous.

Your IP is in the range of the dog and rapper vandal, and that is why you were blocked. To edit, please log in. ~~~~

I was blocked from editing but I don't have an account?

I am blocked , I didn't have an account?

Hi I am blocked by editing I believe my IP is in the range of dog & rapper vandal-- can u unblock. Thanks patcanna@yahoo.com

Replied by email.

Why hello! I as well have had this issue. Could you assist the situation? andy.snyder1@aol.com

Sent you an email too.

HI Graham. I need help creating an account please advise.patcanna@yahoo.com

I already emailed you. What username would you like?

I too just found out my IP address is blocked too under the dog and rapper vandal. I would like to know how you are allowed to block hundreds of IP a dresses? I have never attempted to make any edit on any page till today.

I live in Florida, I've always lived in Florida. Never been to Pennsylvania where the dog and rapper vandal IP addresses originate from so I'm not understanding why I'm blocked.

Im a florida # 2 but in az for years now

I just found another link to users that you have blocked. It seems like you lumped many of us metro PCS/T Mobile customers together. I have never had a Wikipedia account but I just requested one and I'm waiting for the email yo log in. I still dont understand why you cannot block the individual IP a dresses that are causing problems instead of punishing those of us that are in the "range" my IP address has never been in the range of Pennsylvania. I think you are one rude arrogant person.

Yea i have never made a edit but im blocked from it. Metropcs user too.

I'm sorry you've been having problems. However, IP addresses in that range change so often that I had no choice but to take such a drastic action.

Mr. Graham87, know that you've blocked IP addresses in San Francisco and Bay Area, where the Wikipedia main office is located. I will definitely go in-person and prove to them that what you are doing undermines Wikipedia. You just block thousands of IP addresses for no apparent reason. Sad.

Hi. I'm having a similar issue as well with this and it is a brand new phon. I've never had an account on Wikipedia and I live in California nowhere near the dog rapper. Can you please advise as to how I am supposed to create a new account with a blocked message.

Hello, go to the Wikipedia:Request an account page on the English Wikipedia.

This can't be serious. I'm blocked for who knows what??? How do I correct this?

You're blocked because your IP range has been used by the dog and rapper vandal along with many other miscreants. To edit, use an account.

I am also blocked from editing. I have never tried to edit an artical till now.

Can you please stop blocking these IP addresses? It is very inconvenient for us and the guy is using a VPN so he can still edit the pages as much as he wants, blocking IP addresses solves nothing and creates many inconveniences for being blocked because someone used my IP address in a VPN. Please just unblock all of those IP addresses involved in this case, they are actual people that don't deserve this.

Extraordinary circumstances require extraordinary measures. All VPN should be blocked anyway.

This arbitrary IP block has caused many wikipedia pages to decay and display outdated information. We will no longer be contributing to wikipedia as it is now neither a source of up-to-date information nor community building.

I have never used Wikipedia and I’m blocked. What is this amateur hour?? Have you ever studied computer science or data forensics to make such a decision?

I WAS BLOCKED FROM EDITING BECAUSE I HAD INTRODUCED ACTUAL QUOTES AND INFO TO THE WALTER DEAN MYERS PAGE! IT REPORTED MY INFO AS"VANDALIZING"

Hi I've never had an account on any wiki site just found out about this. But I'm prevented from making one because of the dog and rapper guy how my IP address is in this range is weird. I was trying to do so from a cell phone which is my only internet portal. And live in the south west U.S. anyway can you contact me at boodoo302@gmail.com to let me know how to proceed.

Please remove Graham87's moderator powers.

I've also had this issue. I'm not sure what a dog and rapper is, but I have done nothing of the calibur.

See above.

Um... I've never esited any dog pages 😂 or rappers.. what is wrong with you?

Dude you said you blocked the whole US

Ye you littelry blocked me too just Bc I’m on T-Mobile

I’m blocked to and I can’t post anything either because someone keeps hiding my posts

I'm blocked too. I live in Massachusetts for heavens sake this is ridiculous

This graham87 seems a bit sketchy

Hey I’m blocked because of the dog and rapper vandal I’ve never edited anything, can I be unblocked

This guy is ridiculous. He has blocked God-knows how many people from using one of Wikipedia's major features because he can't handle a troll. Or is too lazy to. If this was the correct way to deal with these kind of vandal situations, no-one would ever be able to edit wikipedia. I mean just think about it.

As I frequent Wikipedia often, and donate $6 every month, I’m no longer donating to Wikipedia because of this. Absolutely ridiculous that I was blocked.

Man I'm in Kentucky on MetroPCS, my IP shouldn't be blocked from a state-length away like this. I just wanted to fix some frikkin grammar on a Tron page. It's not worth the song-and-dance. Not gonna bother waiting four months, either. Feel free to dig up the issue I found, Graham, 'cuz Tron's the only hint I'll give.

If a VPN is the only work around that I'm willing to bother with, no wonder this 'vandal' took to them.

Agreed, this is ridiculous. To let most of the U.S. population to edit, the 2607:fb90::/32 range has to be unblocked. It seems that the "dog and rapper vandal" is the cause of the block; however, many innocent users have been affected, including us and Ron liebman (a long-time regular contributor to SABR). This just doesn't seem fair at best, and no actions have ever been considered by the administrators. Considering that one of an administrator's tasks is to accommodate other users, this is very dissapointing. This has totally gone out of proportion. Xavier Nady (talk) 21:24, 6 December 2018 (UTC)

Same 🙄

I created 2 special templates for this case a while ago: TMOblock and TMobileIP6.

This is completely ridiculous garbage. I've been trying for days - DAYS - to fix an error in with no avail because this breaks the login system. I'm in a rural area. Mobile hotspot is my ONLY internet. Thank GOD I visited a friend and brought my laptop so I could ACTUALLY sign into my account. If not, there'd be some garbage on that page about who knows what forever.

Like previous commentor, I'm ending my donations effective now. Someone with this much power doing this is clearly narcissistic and in no way fit for the position. Maybe Wikipedia deserves to burn so a better place can form.
