Blocked editor
Hi there. Regarding this editor. The editing style is very similar to user "Nonenonenonez". Cheers. Magnolia677 (talk) 20:25, 10 February 2017 (UTC)


 * And I think that this editor maybe is identical with one of the blocked ip´s this night... Dan Koehl (talk) 00:11, 11 February 2017 (UTC)

Unpleasant message
Hi, I'm just notifying you that you received a rather unpleasant message from another editor which can be seen in the edit history. I warned the user before reverting it (for some strange reason), and reverted it after I'd warned the editor. Just a heads up, you've probably noticed already. Dr Strauss  talk  22:16, 11 February 2017 (UTC)
 * It's best to revert and ignore. All they are after is attention. Widr (talk) 22:26, 11 February 2017 (UTC)

Sockpuppetry
Cheers for your help with those sockpuppets – you were too fast for me. This guy's been a problem for a while now, and there's no sign of him stopping anytime soon, so we'll have to keep our eyes peeled. Thanks again.  4TheWynne (talk) (contribs)  13:12, 11 February 2017 (UTC)
 * No problem! Widr (talk) 13:14, 11 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Andromeche is another obvious sockpuppet of Aries009 (see 1).--Wolbo (talk) 16:22, 11 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Thanks (again)... I've got my bloody first day of university tomorrow, it's late here, and all this guy's been doing is keeping me occupied. Hopefully I'll wake up and I won't have missed out on too much.  4TheWynne (talk) (contribs)  13:00, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

Help with difficult IP editor
Hey, Thanks for your help with blocking the disruptive IP. Unfortunately that will not stop these edits. They are back as new IP ‎27.100.20.150. He/She uses a VPN has been stalking my edits for the last 2 weeks. I am not sure on how to deal with this. Any ideas or help would be much appreciated. Thanks Adamgerber80 (talk) 17:13, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
 * As I said that the IP editor will not back down. Another example after 2 blocks: 220.117.16.38 and 27.100.20.122. Adamgerber80 (talk) 17:22, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
 * What you're looking for is a range block, but I'm not knowledgeable in that so I'm not sure it's feasible. Worth asking for one just in case it can be done. Sky  Warrior  17:27, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Sky, I considered that but the VPN the editor uses has 60,000 to 120,000 IP's under it. I am not sure how Admins have dealt with this in the past. Adamgerber80 (talk) 17:29, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
 * In that case, unless there's a better solution, the only option would be to just report, and protect. Though if there is a better option I would like to know, for future reference. Sky  Warrior  17:37, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

User:Sfsound
Hi Widr. Bath Festival of Blues and Progressive Music is on my watchlist which is why I nonticed this edit by. After looking at their edit history, it appears they are back to the same edits that got them blocked by you here. I was going to add a warning, but other editors have already do that and where now at level 3. Looking at the content this edit and the edit sums being left for various other edits, it's hard to figure out whether this person is simply trying to add WP:OR or WP:POV content or simply trying to WP:RGW\set the record straight while being WP:NOTHERE. I'm also wondering if there might be a connection between the editor and Matthew Katz since that name is mentioned in a number of edit sums and also because edits made to add unsourced content to the BLP and remove unfavorable content from the BLP about Katz n December 2016. Any suggestions on how to best proceed in a case like this? -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:44, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

Libel by User:HowIsYouGon
User:HowIsYouGon has inserted libel three times in Wikipedia (in his talk page, in an article and in a draft). The article was speedy deleted under A7 (lack of notability). The talk page's defamatory material was deleted by me. The draft's libel was deleted when replacing the draft with, i.e. when it was nominated for speedy deletion under G10 (attack pages). I'm requesting the deletion of the draft and RevDel of revisions 725045095 to 765206236 of the talk page, with revision 725045095's edit summary removed. Luis150902 (talk | contribs) 07:42, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
 * The account inserted libel in the talk page and in the article, slept for seven months (July 2016 to January 2017) and reinserted the same libel in the draft. Luis150902 (talk | contribs) 07:48, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

User:Sausagea1000
Hello Widr, Could I just bring to your attention the recent "edits" of, who you recently blocked for edit warring. They have again started edit warring on the World Trade Center (2001-present) article by inserting the wrong title. I have asked them not to keep altering and left a warning - all to no avail. Can I please leave this with you? Thanks and regards, David, David J Johnson (talk) 11:36, 17 February 2017 (UTC) Hello. I would like to tell you that 9/11 is just a shorter name for the September 11 Attacks. It is not in any way committing vandalism to change September 11 Attacks to 9/11. 1:36, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

Food for you!

64.20.139.44
Hi Widr, you blocked this user on my request at AIV, but I've went back and checked his/her contributions and some of them seem ok. Others seem iffy, like removing ancestry info from Pete Carroll and Joe Flacco, and changing Caggiano's name to Roberto. Can you take a closer look to see if this block may have been requested too soon? I would hate to block an otherwise contributing editor. Thank you - Justin15w (talk) 16:29, 18 February 2017 (UTC)
 * There has been enough random schoolkid type of vandalism and disruption for past several months to justify the block (see also edit filter log). They can still edit logged in. Widr (talk) 16:43, 18 February 2017 (UTC)

User:179.254.140.197
Was this address actually related to an open proxy? That seemed to be their only obsession. I'm not aware of how to immediately identify whether or not it actually is related to one (had no edit history, so no block log). Home Lander (talk) 20:31, 18 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Likely. Widr (talk) 20:52, 18 February 2017 (UTC)

This chap User talk:60.226.83.173, see the log- talk page has been repeatedly deleted as Copyvio (copying within WP, unfree files etc), but they keep restoring it and edit warring the speedy tag off.

re:Block of IP editor 2602:306:302A:F080:D90B:857A:5AE2:A1EC
Hey Widr. I'm not sure if the above IP you just blocked had sufficient warnings to warrant an block. They only had as high as a level two warning on their talk page, and their activity had stopped after the second warning. Boomer VialHolla! We gonna ball 20:55, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Not quite. See the edit filter log also. Widr (talk) 20:59, 20 February 2017 (UTC)

New Page Review - newsletter No.3
Hello , Voting for coordinators has now begun HERE and will continue through/to 23:59 UTC Monday 06 March. Please be sure to vote. Any registered, confirmed editor can vote. Nominations are now closed. We now have New Page Reviewers but despite numerous appeals for help, the backlog has NOT been significantly reduced. If you asked for the New Page Reviewer right, please consider investing a bit of time - every little helps preventing spam and trash entering the mainspace and Google when the 'NO_INDEX' tags expire. Discuss this newsletter here. If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself from the mailing list. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 15:35, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
