  • "No, no, no, please do not block the ip range, and I want to continue to revert vandalism, and I want to not sock again, and I DO NOT trolling, only the IP address currently editing from and not the whole range, please only block current IP I editing from? 46.227.72.88 (talk) 5:57 am, 8 June 2018, Friday (8 days ago) (UTC−4)" (WP:ANI on the English Wikipedia)
