I wasn't really sure what to do about the Copenhagen democracy IP address. I'm INVOLVED as I keep reverting it, but it doesn't feel like a school edit as much as COI. They are ignoring talk page messages and are persistent.

There's a few exceptions to WP:INVOLVED, and your reversions certainly fall under them. I have a sense the IP may return, as I have been keeping an eye on the page since it came up on RFPP and I first undid their spammy additions a week ago.

Looking at WHOIS it's clearly COI and no longer a school.

Their only comments relate directly to E2038’s block. If they aren’t a sock they’re definitely a meatpuppet.

@Dronebogus: the IP is  Stale, there's not much point in blocking them any longer.

Hello. I hope you are doing well. I was thinking if your bot could be set-up for mrwiki for the task of reducing size of non-free images. The policy on mrwiki recommends that the bot operator should familiar with at least basic level of Marathi language. I already have an automated bot on mrwiki, and I tried to go through thepolisme's source code, but I was not sure what changes to make. Would you kindly guide me what changes/updates should I make to the script to run it on mrwiki? —usernamekiran (talk) 04:58, 23 March 2023 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20230323045800","author":"Usernamekiran","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Usernamekiran-20230323045800-image_reduction_task_on_mrwiki","replies":["c-Usernamekiran-20230323050000-Usernamekiran-20230323045800","c-DatGuy-20230324235000-Usernamekiran-20230323045800"]}}-->
