The Administrators' noticeboard is intended to be a page to quickly alert the administrators to issues that need their attention.

To make a request or statement, create a new section and provide a neutral, precise summary of events with thought-out reasoning, and, if possible, links to any pages with relevant discussions. It is also a good idea to notify any users involved with the request with a link to the section on this page. Make sure to add new sections to the bottom.

Report vandals and sockpuppets at the top of the appropriate section labeled for such reports using {{IP|Username}}, where Username is the name of the user or the IP vandal's IP address.

For reporting similar and unacceptable usernames, report them here instead of on this page. This is done to keep the reports in one place, and because unacceptable usernames can be more subjective (unlike vandal/spam accounts), which may necessitate discussion (which the linked page will be more suited to handle).

71.212.205.165 (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS) And pretty much all of the IPs in this range, or at least the ones editing the Event matches. Repeatedly making edits that were removed multiple times before despite several warnings. I'm positive that they are all the same person, although it's more likely that the IP address keeps changing rather than sockpuppeting. OmegαToαd64 • the Best Kαrter 23:36, April 26, 2020 (EDT)

I seriously think we should just permanently autoconfirm-protect those pages, as well as any other that these IPs have a tendency to play with. Black Vulpine of the Furry Nation. Furries make the internets go! :3 23:39, April 26, 2020 (EDT)

Woah, I think permanent protection on all those pages is a bit extreme as of right now. I'd consider that a "last resort" because there are other options to consider before perma protection. If you ask me a range block would be enough, even still I would allow account creation since it seems that it's only the IPs that keep doing this, and by the looks of it they don't intend to create an account. OmegαToαd64 • the Best Kαrter 23:45, April 26, 2020 (EDT)

We've used range blocks before, pretty extreme ones even. This has been going on for some time, too. Black Vulpine of the Furry Nation. Furries make the internets go! :3 00:03, April 27, 2020 (EDT)

I know that, basically all I'm saying is that there are other options to consider other than permanent protection, especially since it appears to be the same person every time. Either way let's not worry too much about it before we end up bloating this section, and instead just let the admins decide what's best. OmegαToαd64 • the Best Kαrter 00:09, April 27, 2020 (EDT)

This guy has also shown this behaviour on MarioWiki and been range-blocked for it: [17] RickTommy 00:27, April 27, 2020 (EDT)

Doing some digging through revision histories, and it seems possible that this IP has been doing this for nearly 5 years (since June 2015???). The first time I noticed severe edit warring in the same manner is here, and from there this same problem has been happening on that page to this day. The earliest edit I can find that matches the typical behavior of this IP is this, although the range is a bit different. A later edit that was made from an IP within this range is this. In the archive Serena linked to a discussion that shows users were complaining about this problem, and one IP was even permanently range blocked for severe edit warring, yet this IP still hasn't stopped.
