Happy editing! I dream of horses (Contribs) Please notify me after replying off my talk page. Thank you. 01:23, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@I dream of horses: Thanks for the note, Emily. I've been editing without an account for many years, but I appreciate your "welcome" to the registered world. Would you mind clarifying what you mean when you say, "Please notify me after replying off my talk page"? HistoryManUSA (talk) 22:34, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I want people to use {{reply to}} or {{U}} templates, which you did. I dream of horses (Contribs) Please notify me after replying off my talk page. Thank you. 22:56, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Yamla: In the edit at this link, you wrote the following to one of my relatives whom I'd asked to appeal a range block that included her: "Continue like this and you'll see the block extended and you'll see talk page access revoked." She didn't know what you meant by the phrase "[c]ontinue like this", and I don't either. Would you mind clarifying? HistoryManUSA (talk) 00:28, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have blocked this account based on WP:MEAT. This is part of the 208.53.231.240, 208.53.224.161 group. --Yamla (talk) 01:02, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Also, and more specifically, 208.53.231.158 which was blocked for 2 weeks for "Clear history of wasting time over pointless questioning, revoking TPA on current IP but not range block for now. See /21 range block". --Yamla (talk) 01:09, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

HistoryManUSA, you are welcome to request an unblock. WP:GAB explains how to do so. You'll need to explain why you are proxying for someone blocked for inappropriate edits. --Yamla (talk) 01:05, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Yamla: The block log indicates that you're accusing me of block evasion. Do you understand that the two-week block of 208.53.231.158 expired ten days ago? Is that the block you're accusing me of evading? HistoryManUSA (talk) 03:05, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
