Hi & welcome! Sorry about the issue you faced when creating an account. I have requested a fix. X (talk + contribs) 21:50, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, the captcha wouldn’t appear Seawolf35 (talk) 21:51, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

It is strange because I do a lot of account creating on EnWiki for people who can’t do it themselves and I never had that issue. Seawolf35 (talk) 21:52, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

I have also already reported the problem via IRC to @MacFan4000, he is our System Administrator and he can hopefully fix it? Drummingman (talk) 21:56, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

I made a phab ticket. Seems to be the quickest way. X (talk + contribs) 21:58, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

Also, just so you know, you can request bureaucrat too. X (talk + contribs) 22:42, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

@X Is it okay if I work through https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:AntiCompositeBot/ASNBlock this list blocking open proxies due to the testwiki policy on No Open Proxies? Seawolf35 (talk) 22:44, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

Yes, of course. Just make sure you're sure you are only blocking proxies! X (talk + contribs) 22:46, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, I do quite complete checks before blocking. Seawolf35 (talk) 22:47, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

Great! I think there are some editing tools and revision deletion tools that come in the bureaucrat toolkit. Would you like this rights? X (talk + contribs) 22:48, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

@X Why not. Sure Seawolf35 (talk) 22:50, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	The Admin's Barnstar
	Thank you for your work on blocking various open proxies. It's a tedious, but very much needed task to prevent abuse. Justarandomamerican (talk) 00:45, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

@Justarandomamerican Thanks! Seawolf35 (talk) 01:17, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

One question: how do you find open proxies to block?

Also, hello from the nearby English Wikipedia. :) – 64andtim ^(talk) 02:54, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

I'd also like to help with this task, if I can. How can I find which IP addresses to block? Piccadilly (My Contribs | Talk to me) 03:00, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

@64andtim I will EMail you details. Seawolf35 (talk) 04:30, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
