Greetings -
I opened an OTRS ticket several weeks ago requesting an IP block exemption for my account, but I still have not received a response. I want an IPBE primarily for privacy reasons, as I recently subscribed to a VPN provider. I want to be able to edit without having to turn off the VPN every time I edit, and I would be logged into my account anyway so it’s not like it would be a problem.
I’m a trusted editor here with over 17,000 edits, and I’ve been here for over 7 years. I believe I am a suitable candidate for the exemption.
I noticed that you logged another editor’s successful IPBE request for the same reason (privacy), so I decided to contact you. I realize you are not a checkuser so I was hoping you could get in contact with a checkuser who could help me out with this request.
Thanks,LJF2019 talk 17:04, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2021 May 24 has got out of hand. There are issues about a template, also disambiguation and redirects though. I think it would be better closed and sent to Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion because it was messy from the start (I put it at WP:CR for that reason).

Thanks for your reply to my earlier ping at User:DavidMCEddy/WikiConference North America 2021 on conflict. I've summarized you Wikimania:2021:Submissions/Cross-wiki ideological conflict and Wikimedia's vision of knowledge equity presentation in:
I'd be pleased to have your reactions / revisions. I hope you agree that my work shares your concerns. I'd be interested in your reactions to the remedies I'm suggesting on Wikiversity:International Conflict Observatory and Wikiversity:Media reform per Freepress.net.

A recently closed Request for Comment (RFC) reached consensus to remove Autopatrolled from the administrator user group. You may, similarly as with Edit Filter Manager, choose to self-assign this permission to yourself. This will be implemented the week of December 13th, but if you wish to self-assign you may do so now. To find out when the change has gone live or if you have any questions please visit the Administrator's Noticeboard. 20:05, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
Hi!
You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.
When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.
Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.
If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.
We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.
Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

I couldn't respond to the RFPP ping before it got archived- but, basically what's happening is there's an LTA (WP:LTA/HKGW) who's persistently edit warring over articles mostly relating to Hong Kong. We think it might be the same guy behind the edit warring on the lighthouses in Hong Kong article back in early 2021, but all attempts at going through content dispute resolution methods have consistently failed. Fat Kwong Street is (weirdly enough) an article that's often targeted by the LTA, which is the main reason why an RFPP was made. All of their edits can be reverted per WP:Evade, since they've been blocked on numerous IP ranges and on their account. Padgriffin Griffin's Nest 02:33, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
I got no idea why my edits to this article and to Template:HK routes have kept being reverted. None of my edits have contained anything "obscure" in nature nor are they disruptive or vandalist in any sense. There was no apparent reason given and from what I observed Citobun, Padgriffin, HurricaneEdgar and Ymblanter, among a few others who are not as involved, are simply labelling all non-registered editors from Hong Kong as "geography warriors", harrass them, persecute them and undo all their edits. So far they've only admitted they've mislabelled one of them. But the exercise has continued. Please advise what can be done against these people's disruptions. Thanks. 219.76.24.194 (talk) 08:03, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
I'm not sure by "western end" whether ...That of Fat Kwong Street. The western end of Fat Kwong Street at its junction with Pui Ching Road and Sheung Shing Street. Citobun insisted the western end to be at the junction with Princess Margaret Road, which is actually part of (or, to the west of the eastern end of) Pui Ching Road. 219.76.24.209 (talk) 08:05, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

Hi hello Deryck. It's so happened that you are the only administrator connected to Hong Kong which I could find on a search engine. Could you help take a look at this edit? Was it just another vandalist? I can't find anything wrong to include the period which Kan served as a cllr. Thank you. 124.217.188.240 (talk) 06:20, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
Hi Snowolf,
My name is Stephen Wesley Vann better known as Wezley or Steve Victory. I am a music artist, producer, songwriter, and streamer. I have worked with artists like Chris Brown, Do or Die, Twista, Bone Thugs, Cypress Hill and many others. I have also been featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show.
I have been wanting to start a Wiki page for myself but I don't want to have a conflict of interest or sound biased. I believe I could write it without sounding biased, but I would much rather have someone else do it and help with the process. I'm also not too familiar with writing Wiki pages. I just released a new compilation album and I have a new album being released in a couple of months.
I came across your username in an article that said you're willing to help people. If there's any way that you could help me put this together and write this I would be extremely grateful. We can chat via email, skype, or however you prefer.
If you can't help me then no hard feelings. I completely understand. However, if you can, you would be helping me a great deal. I would be very appreciative.
I look forward to your response. Thank you Deryck Chan.
Best Regards,
Wezley

Hi Deryck,
I'm addressing you because of your knowledge of both German and Standard Chinese. There's two articles in the German Wikipedia that leave me a bit puzzled: de:Buchreihe von historischen chinesischen Werken zur chinesischen Ess- und Trinkkultur sowie Diätetik and de:Buchreihe von Meisterwerken der alten chinesischen Kochkunst. They have no links to other languages, no cited sources, and the articles seem so generic to me that I'm not sure they describe something concrete. Would you be able and willing to give those articles a brief look and assess them? Background info: Both were written by a permabanned user with a history of creating problematic articles.
Thanks and kind regards, Grueslayer 16:12, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
