Blocked user using talk page to harass

Hi Widr. You recently blocked World Carnivore Tribe (talk · contribs). Would you consider extending the block to the user's talk page, given the hostile comments and comments that border on doxing. If not, could you recommend a venue to make such a request? Hipal (talk) 17:52, 28 December 2022 (UTC)

Done. Widr (talk) 18:08, 28 December 2022 (UTC)

Happy New Year, Widr!

A request

I recently had to take it upon myself to revert vandalism done to the page Second ladies and gentlemen of the United States (hyperlinked for easy access). I did my utmost to revert it properly. However, this is not all. Examining the block log, I found that this same user had previously tried to cause disruption, and was blocked for it, only to cause disruption again as soon as it was lifted (that includes the aforementioned disruptive edits that I referred to). I think it would be best to impose a more long-term block in consequence of this; however, I will have to request you to take this responsibility upon yourself, as I am an inexperienced user and do not have the power to block other users. R23$94ACQ3R (talk) 21:52, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

That IP hasn't edited for over a week, so there is no basis for a new block at this point. Blocks are meant to prevent active disruption. Widr (talk) 21:59, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

For the block here [1]. There may be residual damage from last November's edits to LED lamp, lots of unsourced changes, but I don't know quite how best to undo them given the intervening edits. Any thoughts welcome. Cheers, 2601:19E:4180:6D50:0:0:0:4C4B (talk) 20:10, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

Hi Widr. Can you revoke talk page access for the IP user 169.139.16.92? They won't stop reposting promo/non-talk content there, even after several reverts. Thanks. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 22:20, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

Questions about a block

Hi, Widr. Back in August 2021 you reverted the posting of an unblock request by a blocked editor at User talk:GTA Is So Good, and removed talk page access. You gave no explanation as to why you did either of those, and I am at a loss to understand it. As far as I can see, there was an unblock request which, while not a good one, appeared to be made in good faith. This has come to my attention as a result of an unblock request now posted at UTRS. Tow questions: can you explain the reason for removing talk page access, and, whatever the reason, would you object to talk page access being restored to allow an unblock request there now? JBW (talk) 22:38, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

As you should realize from the account's page move vandalism, that's an obvious LTA or some copycat. Should have had the talk page access revoked on sight by the original blocking admin. Widr (talk) 23:03, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

OK, I had forgotten that name, it's so many years since I last saw it, but now that you have prompted me I remember. Having checked editing histories I think it's much more likely a copycat, but either way I now see the reason behind what you did. Thanks. JBW (talk) 23:17, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

Request for interference

Hi, I wanted to request you to kindly help restrict user Zaynabia, I see you blocked her for 31 hours for good reasons but today when that duration ended she again started removing sourced content from multiple pages, adding information without any reference, pretty much everything that can be summed up under the case of vandalism. I would request your interference please and help in dealing with such cases of disruptive writing and vandalism. Thank you Nush1125 (talk) 18:11, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

First edit day

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is Vast history of disruptive edit warring and personal attacks from a user at 42.190.128.0/18 (+ more IP ranges). Thank you. —DIYeditor (talk) 00:04, 18 February 2023 (UTC)

Hi,
This IP address that you had blocked for 31 hours is back as 142.127.200.195 doing the same disruptive edit as before. — YoungForever^(talk) 05:18, 18 February 2023 (UTC)

Question

Hey, thanks for blocking 2A01:C22:A51F:3300:8960:EE84:AD26:2AB1 (talk · contribs). Did you block a range or something (i am not smart enough for any technical stuff)? Because this adress (and many many more) are from a blocked user Charli 250 (talk · contribs) who is blocked globally (all summarized here at de.wiki). He blanks pages, reverts edits just to make them himself. All of that goes on for months sadly. That's why i asked. ;) Kante4 (talk) 17:08, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

Yeah, I blocked the /64. That range only has edits from today, hence the short block. Widr (talk) 17:52, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

Okay. They always edit just one day per address, sometimes even more per day. Should i write here when the editor is back with another address? I have no idea how this range block work and/or if it keeps him away. :D Kante4 (talk) 19:47, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

It's best to report these at WP:AIV for the quickest action. Widr (talk) 20:25, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

Just to tell you you blocked a Mikemikev sock

[2]. Good work. Doug Weller talk 17:06, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

Longer block for 207.91.254.122, please

207.91.254.122 has returned from a 3-month block that you imposed and they've returned to making the same problematic edits that has led to their two previous blocks. A longer block seems to be in order. Thanks! ElKevbo (talk) 23:38, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

Possible LTA

Are you aware of who this user might be a sockpuppet of; I find it hard to believe this is a genuinely new user. Partofthemachine (talk) 06:41, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

No idea, but that's kinda funny. Widr (talk) 06:53, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Reverted IP report

Hello Widr,

I saw that you reverted my report of an IP because it was "malformed". Could you please clarify?

Thanks. BenzoAid (talk) 17:08, 24 March 2023 (UTC)

It was malformed. However, I blocked the IP you tried to report. Widr (talk) 17:15, 24 March 2023 (UTC)

Alright, at least the IP is blocked. Thank you. BenzoAid (talk) 17:17, 24 March 2023 (UTC)

Of a user you blocked recently...

Check out the talk page response left by User:Jimandwill shortly after you blocked them: (diff)

188.247.78.255 block, consider range

Hi Widr, regarding you block of 188.247.78.255 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log), would you consider a block on the range 188.247.78.255/21 (see contribs)?

Warning request

Hi. Wish you a happy time. Can you check this user's contributions(Alpinegora) please? he/she seems to remove the name of the Persian language from various articles and change the percentage of ethnic groups without referring to a new source.

User:FYE31

Hey, messaging you because I saw that you blocked the IP range of User:2603:8001:2902:64f4::/64 back in February. They seem to have now made an account as User:FYE31 and they've resumed doing what they've done before, going through a bunch of California articles and even moving a declined draft page to mainspace. Was wondering what should be done since AFAIK, they're still blocked on the IP addresses. reppop^talk 22:03, 23 April 2023 (UTC)

Sorry I'm not affiliated with any of the these IP user I just started editing wikipedia and I'm new to wikipedia if you have questions please let me know thank you. FYE31 (talk) 22:37, 23 April 2023 (UTC)

The way you write things is exactly the way those IPs wrote it, and you edit the same articles those IPs edited. I find your claim that you're "not affiliated" with them not convincing. reppop^talk 01:19, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

Hi, you blocked Emir korkut 07 for self-promo (thanks!), and I just wanted to flag up that earlier today Justlettersandnumbers had raised a concern that they may be also editing under Korkutemir07, in case you think it's necessary to block the latter also.

46.8.172.178, that doesn't mean that semi-protection should be removed. This article appears to be a magnet for disruption and has a very long history of vandalism, which is likely perpetrated by more than just a single editor. 73.67.145.30 (talk) 15:57, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
