I'm glad to see you are doing some blocks on these IPs. I have records of some such IPs also, and would be happy to block them. However, do you know if I have the right to do so? I'm an "assistant SysOp" so I don't know if blocking those IPs falls under my jurisdiction. Thanks!--[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">David B</font>]] <sup>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</sup> 22:46, 7 August 2017 (EDT)

:Generally speaking, it's a good idea to ask Andy or Karajou before doing anything like that. I am also technically an "assistant sysop" but since what I have been doing has been in response to vandalism, there hasn't been any question about it.

:Another thing I am going to point out is that it is a good idea to check and see if a suspected open proxy is blocked on Wikipedia, unless you know for a fact (and can provide proof) that it is an open proxy. If an IP or IP range isn't blocked at Wikipedia as a proxy, run it past me before you block (you can email me rather than posting on-wiki if you wish). It's harder to identify ranges that need blocked without checkuser though. [[User:DMorris|DMorris]] ([[User talk:DMorris|talk]]) 13:29, 9 August 2017 (EDT)
