49.126.137.24

Hi, FYI I blocked this IP for vandalising my talk page. Regards, Yann (talk) 17:34, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

I also blocked 49.126.102.170, and semi-protected ma talk page. What do you think of blocking 49.126.0.0/16 (or a smaller range?) for sometimes? Regards, Yann (talk) 17:55, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

An IP 49.126.107.30 nominated for speedy deletion file:Amélie Daniel 2014 5D 31.jpg, uploaded by Yann. I blocked the IP. Everybody working in speedy deletion requests, be careful! Taivo (talk) 18:16, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

OK, but why do you feel that you should inform us about it? Nobody will blame you for this (i.e. the first) block. Regarding the range block, here is the list of anonymous contributions from this range since 1st January 2016 – a lot of vandalisms, I just have deleted two talk pages containing nonsense. IMO you could soft block the range for a week or two. Anyway, I have strange feeling that it is globally blocked Tulsi Bhagat (aka Kaulder) hidden behind this range. However I don't know why has he been blocked – I haven't noticed any disruptive edits by him. More, I even was going to grant rollback right to Kaulder. --jdx ^Re: 18:53, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

OK, seeing [1], I blocked 49.126.0.0/16 for 2 weeks. Yes, I know that I won't be blamed, but I rather like to be open in such a case. I deleted quite a lot of copyvios lately. So he is probably one of them... Regards, Yann (talk) 19:39, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

Looking at the deletion log, he is probably Special:Contributions/Khem_Kshetri. Yann (talk) 19:47, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
