I may be wrong but it seems like vandalism to me. <font color="#DC143C">大 <font color="#FFC40C">诺 <font color="#00A550">史 ( Talk/留言/토론/Discussion ) 12:22, 15 September 2019 (UTC)

Strategy for Information Markets/Search engine business models
Hi, the page [//en.wikibooks.org/w/index.php?title=Strategy_for_Information_Markets/Search_engine_business_models&action=history Strategy for Information Markets/Search engine business models] could need some protection. It is a spammer's target for months now, with no useful contribs from IPs. Regards --Schniggendiller talk  09:47, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Did a little, anyway. --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 11:01, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

37.154.171.54 vandalism report and blocking request
Hi. This anonymous user added a chimp image on many pages - vandalism since 40 minutes. This IP is notified 3 times on his TP and has about fifty vandalisms. Txs. —Eihel (discuss • contribs) 00:06, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
 * ✅ by Pi zero —Eihel (discuss • contribs) 00:26, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
 * This is a cross-wiki vandal. Suggest adding an edit filter, as has been proposed or done at en.wq and en.wp. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 00:44, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
 * His GUC shows a participation by mobile. The Stalk toy shows a participation spaced yesterday, then 2 weeks and 3 weeks ago. This is not a frequent vandalism that deserves a "beat to quarters", especially for an IP. When he / she will do round trips on several wikis in a short period of time, it will be necessary to agree on a global blocking for only 37.154.160.0/19 and voilà. —Eihel (discuss • contribs) 02:19, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I was not recommending block anyone. I was recommending adding an edit filter that blocks these edits. Do you oppose adding the filter? —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 02:36, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I do not object to anything. —Eihel (discuss • contribs) 02:43, 19 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Because this user had already shifted between several IPs this morning, I applied a range block to 159.146.18.0/24. Unfortunately, they've now moved outside that range. --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 13:49, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

 * The wider range block took effect at 1358 UTC. What makes you think it didn't work? --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 14:40, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

 * ✅ I've blocked this particular one. JackPotte (discuss • contribs) 14:46, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
 * FYI, a global range block has been applied. This is a known long term abuser... QuiteUnusual (discuss • contribs) 15:01, 26 September 2019 (UTC)


 * I've been trying to figure out what might have gone wrong with my earlier attempted range block. I suspect I botched it by blocking 159.146.18.0/19 rather than 159.146.0.0/19 (though if that's so, the interface evidently should have provided some sort of feedback, along the lines of 'this looks odd, are you sure that's what you want?').  At Praxidicae's suggestion (at my user talk) I subsequently blocked 159.146.0.0/16; but of course there'd be no way to tell for sure whether I got it right if there's now a global range block. --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 15:16, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Without getting into detail, I did enable a filter which seems to help but he knows how to evade it as soon as he hits it a dozen or so times. I hope I wasn't overstepping in doing that (this is a GS wiki but you have too many admins for me to block/delete content per the scope, but I figured a filter wouldn't be overstepping, please let me know if it is.) Praxidicae (discuss • contribs) 15:20, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Seems to me a reasonable action in the circumstances. --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 15:57, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
