My user talk page[edit]
It was vandalised and now has nothing there anyway you or others might be able to restore? Thanks much. @Michael.C.Wright BigKrow (talk) 16:26, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- The vandalism is a rat's nest for sure. Was there more content that you are missing beyond the comments here: [1]? Michael.C.Wright (Talk/Published) 16:53, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- That vandal account created that page and overrided my whole talk page, yes that is my entire history of my talk page, thank you for trying to help! @Michael.C.Wright BigKrow (talk) 16:58, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- It might take an admin to delete your current talk page and then to move this version of your old talk page to your new/current talk page. Michael.C.Wright (Talk/Published) 16:59, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Michael.C.Wright thanks Michael. BigKrow (talk) 17:00, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

- I am unable to move that page to make it the current User_talk:BigKrow because that page already exists. I think it will take an admin to delete the current talk page and rename this version to become the new/current User_talk:BigKrow.
I believe this may be how the talk page became a redirect in the first place. When you try to move a page, it gives this message: "Note that the page will not be moved if there is already a page at the new title, unless it is a redirect and has no past edit history." So I think someone was trying to fix it by making the talk page a redirect so they could then move it.Michael.C.Wright (Talk/Published) 17:09, 26 April 2024 (UTC); edited Michael.C.Wright (Talk/Published) 17:22, 26 April 2024 (UTC)- Thanks everyone appreciate it.

- I struck part of my earlier comment. The redirect was created with the first move/rename of the talk page. But then somehow a template was involved and a rat's nest ensued. If only the vandals would focus that energy into constructive editing. Michael.C.Wright (Talk/Published) 17:22, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

IP harassment[edit]
I pinged @Bddpaux this needs to stop @Michael.C.Wright BigKrow (talk) 16:47, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
- Agreed. I think we should implement a long-term block on the entire IP range, as recommended here: [3] and less clearly here: [4]. Michael.C.Wright (Talk/Published) 16:58, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

- It's likely our friend from Canada. An admin needs to block a couple of IP ranges to help combat the disruption. We had a temporary block of the IPv6 range but it expired. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Michael.C.Wright (Talk/Published) 14:29, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
