TPA

Hi Widr. You blocked Acsa2009 for spamming but they have shown no interest in stopping - they've spammed their talk page. Probably time to revoke talk page access. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 16:28, 12 April 2022 (UTC)

Upgrading a ban to User:Mirković Staša

User:Mirković Staša abusively using multiple accounts for the third time. Per WP:3X and Wikipedia: Sockpuppet investigations/Mirković Staša/Archive, seemed a ban is needed. PAVLOV (talk) 17:12, 21 April 2022 (UTC)

User you just blocked

Hi, Widr! I saw you blocked a user after they made this edit and I wanted to know what I should do in this scenario? I probably should have used a higher warning template, but I wasn't sure how to handle it (I was about to ask on another admin's talk page). Apologies if this is a stupid question, I'm still a bit new to this kind of thing. Perfect4th (talk) 19:50, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

Hey. Not a stupid question at all. You can report such users to WP:AIV. Widr (talk) 20:18, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

Okay, thanks! Perfect4th (talk) 20:20, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

forgot one

Thank you for blocking this user but they have another troll account. PRAXIDICAE🌈 17:23, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

Thanks. It was mentioned in the AIV report but I obviously missed it. Widr (talk) 17:43, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

Block

Hi, hope you're well! Yesterday, you responded to my ARV request by blocking 86.171.198.190; they have returned with a dynamic IP and are back attacking the same page through 86.150.242.184 – would you be able to help? – Meena • 07:56, 2 July 2022 (UTC)

Rangeblock request

Hey, I was about to give a 77.32.55.122 warning for all their edits being disruptive when I checked on their range. Virtually everything from 77.32.48.0/20 of late has been problematic.   –Skywatcher68 (talk) 14:10, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

That's true, blocked for 3 months. Widr (talk) 14:37, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

Request to reinstate rangeblock

Hi Widr
On 1 April 2022 you rangeblocked 213.233.152.0/21 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) for 3 months - since this expired we have had numerous IPs from that range creating fake articles about darts players and bands, and other vandalism to such articles - I have yet to fully update User:Arjayay/Patrick Bourke to cover these latest IPs, but there is enough there to explain the long-term problem - could you please reinstate the range-block and delete the drafts? Many thanks - Arjayay (talk) 15:20, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

Done. Widr (talk) 16:34, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

Many thanks - Arjayay (talk) 16:35, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

Pinky sithole (talk · contribs)

I think their username does not violate the username policy. Sithole is a surname of Zulu origin, hence Pinky Sithole is most likely their real name. FYI, we have an article on Lucas Sithole (tennis). Thanks. Dr.Pinsky (talk) 19:10, 24 August 2022 (UTC)

Live and learn. I've unblocked. Widr (talk) 19:21, 24 August 2022 (UTC)

User:Speedlust

I can't agree with your indef block of this user. The reporter failed to warn them of any vandalism, so I did it myself. I was about to leave the reporter this reply, but you got in first and blocked them, so we had an edit conflict.

User has been incorrectly or insufficiently warned. Re-report if the user resumes vandalising after being warned sufficiently. Sorry, Squared.Circle.Boxing, but that's not how we work. We'd like you to warn and monitor subsequent edits and then only report them here if they reach and exceed 4im. Those edits up to now don't merit a block. I have now warned them myself, but you can use Twinkle to do that yourself. Thanks,

Maybe that is how we work, then? Nick Moyes (talk) 19:35, 24 August 2022 (UTC)

I don't know about "we", but I tend to go by common sense. Anyone with a decent amount of clue can see from those two edits that this account was not made to build an encyclopedia; thus I agree with the reporter that it's best to nip in the bud. Widr (talk) 20:04, 24 August 2022 (UTC)

When somebody creates an account and their first couple of edits are blatant vandalism (not even debatable), then that's a clear demonstration of NOTHERE. If the intent was debatable then sure, I'll AGF and give escalating warnings and report after level 4. But for such a clear-cut case of NOTHERE, nah, reported. – ².O.^Boxing 20:13, 24 August 2022 (UTC)

Revoke TPA

Request to extended confirmed user

Hello, I'm Blazin777. It's only 7 days I'm here in Wikipedia. Now I have made 500+ contributions to Wikipedia. I'm fixing redirect and fixing some problems using cleaner.js, see my contributions. Some pages like Alia Bhatt, Deepika Padukone, Shraddha Kapoor, etc are protected. So I can't edit them. If you make me an 'extended confirmed user' I hope I can edit these pages.

Redirects

You deleted N*gg*r almost four years ago as a G3. It is back, recently recreated by the same user, along with N*gga, N*gger, Nigg*r, and N*gg*. Do you want to handle these the same way again? MB 05:34, 25 September 2022 (UTC)

You can tag them for deletion if you want to, but I'm not going to get involved this time. Widr (talk) 14:59, 25 September 2022 (UTC)

I found these when NPP reviewing. They appear to me to be plausible search terms that would survive at RFD, so I will pass them. (I don't think they are particularly useful either and would not care if they were deleted). I just thought I would check with you based on past involvement. Thanks.

IP block on 69.73.44.21

You beat me to the block button by seconds, and interestingly enough, for the same block length. However, I would have added a hidden note to the block reason, mentioning the edit filter log, because someone seeing only the actual edits might think you were grossly overreacting. Obviously you don't have to do what I would have done, but I mention it just in case you hadn't thought of it and might like to consider it. JBW (talk) 20:45, 6 November 2022 (UTC)

User:151.64.192.211

Notice For Unblock

I am going to try to sort through the complicated process of getting unblocked because of you. May I ask why you completely ignored the request I had? did you actually read anything that I typed? I was told I could make the change to the abiogenesis page if I had a source. I cited the source that confirmed my change, which is from the National Library of Medicine, which is an accepted source. I said that if this change was to be gotten rid of, the guys ganging up on me simply needed to meet their own requirements and supply a credible source showing nonlife to life. Will you please unblock me and change the page to the corrected "other" addition page. Abiogenesis is a belief, a creation belief, like other creation myths. No one has ever seen this event, so they take on faith it happened, and on faith that it is even possible. They have a belief in this notion that nonlife can naturally become alive, when this observation violates every observation we have ever made in nature or in a lab. On what grounds do you justify your change? Pitchlumins (talk) 00:26, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Pitchlumins (talk) 00:37, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

Instead of edit warring, you should have taken your concerns to the article's talk page. You are not blocked from there. Widr (talk) 00:41, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

I am very green to wiki. Does what I say make sense though? Will you go there with me and defend me? I am the one who supplied citation for my edit, so mine should not get taken down. Do you agree? How do I get to the talk page on abiogenesis? Pitchlumins (talk) 02:22, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

Question on Templates

Hey there!

Do you think my 4im on 2600:8804:77FE:3A00:582E:E342:27AD:D54C is justified based upon this edit [1], or am I being to harsh? Just curious to hear your opinions. Thanks, Zekerocks11 (talk) 21:49, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

Probably a slight overreaction over such a mild piece of vandalism, but no big deal. Widr (talk) 21:57, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

User:Lachskai

Why did you block this user to whom I recently spoke? He said he was sorry for vandalising earlier and had heeded my level 4 warning by not committing any more vandalism after that. Passengerpigeon (talk) 11:51, 24 November 2022 (UTC)

That account was reported to AIV. After looking at the nonsense creations and some other edits, it didn't seem to make much of a difference what they might have said on the talk page. If the user feels the block is not justified, they can of course appeal by following the instructions. Widr (talk) 17:34, 24 November 2022 (UTC)

Lots of vandalism at Leonardo Burián. Can you help revert this back to [2]. I will go through it when it's rolled back to check what needs updating? Thanks. Knitsey (talk) 23:15, 16 December 2022 (UTC)

Hi Knitsey, for the technical aspect of the request, you can simply open a revision from the history by clicking its timestamp, and then "Edit", and then save the page. This restores the revision in one single edit. That said, I haven't found any revision worth restoring completely yet, and I think I won't bother searching further. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 23:22, 16 December 2022 (UTC)

(that's something ideally to be done using the desktop view, not the mobile view, though. There's a link to "Desktop" view at the bottom of every mobile page.) ~ ToBeFree (talk) 23:23, 16 December 2022 (UTC)

Hello, Widr,

Can I ask what tool you used for mass-revision deletion of edits by Staciyelp? I saw you just took care of this vandalism but I'm not familiar with the method of handling it that you used.
