Catluvr88
Hi Widr, you recently blocked Catluvr88 so that's why I'm reaching out to you first. Following their block they're just posting abuse to their talk page, so would it be possible to have their talk privileges revoked? RA 0808 talkcontribs 19:10, 3 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Second that !  Velella  Velella Talk 19:16, 3 October 2017 (UTC)

Thank you so much for granting me rollback rights. It means a lot to me; I truly appreciate it. Hummerrocket  (talk)  21:11, 3 October 2017 (UTC)

WikiProject Women in Red/The World Contest
Hi. Thankyou for your participation in the challenge series or/and contests. In November The Women in Red World Contest is being held to try to produce new articles for as many countries worldwide and occupations as possible. There will be over $4000 in prizes to win, including Amazon vouchers and paid subscriptions. If this would appeal to you and you think you'd be interested in contributing new articles on women during this month for your region or wherever please sign up in the participants section. The articles done may also count towards the ongoing challenge. If you're not interested in prize money yourself but are willing to participate and raise money to buy books about women for others to use, this is also fine. Help would also be appreciated in drawing up the lists of missing articles. If you think of any missing articles please add them to the sub lists by continent at Missing articles. Thankyou, and if taking part, good luck!♦ Dr. Blofeld  12:32, 4 October 2017 (UTC)

School IPs
Hello. I noticed that you blocked Special:Contributions/185.49.43.123 and decided to take a look at them, and found that it's part of a block of IPs (185.49.40.0/22) owned by a company named Panoptics Global, St. Ives, UK, and obviously all used by schools, judging by their contributions (see this list of all contributions ever made by the entire /22-net on en-WP, almost all of them blatant vandalism). Several of the IPs in the /22-net are currently blocked individually for vandalism, and a number of others have multiple previous blocks, so a range block might be in order. Cheers, - Tom &#124; Thomas.W talk 10:22, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Indeed, nothing useful since 2015, so blocked for 2 years. Widr (talk) 10:46, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

Vandal
Hello, I saw that you are an administrator, could you block him:

I can't find any warning templates, and as a beginner I don't know where is the administrator's noticeboard. Thank you: Csuja (talk) 15:53, 9 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Blocked, thanks. WP:AIV is the noticeboard where you can report vandals. Widr (talk) 15:55, 9 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Okay! Thanks, too. Csuja (talk) 15:55, 9 October 2017 (UTC)

IP: 78.146.97.88
Hello Widr, Many thanks for your block of, after a series of obscene comments on various User Talk pages, including my own. From the location and other content of the disturbed person it does look like the Lincoln/Kennedy/Titanic IP, who has been been blocked multiple times by Admin Acroterion for LTA has surfaced again. Could I respectfully request that a longer block would be more appropriate? With best regards, David, David J Johnson (talk) 10:01, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I'd rather block again if they continue after the current block. Widr (talk) 12:43, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
 * OK. They have a very poor history on Wikipedia and, as I stated, have been blocked multiple times by admins. It is a pity they cannot be excluded from the encyclopedia, but I realise that is not possible unless we had mandatory registration of all accounts. Regards and thanks, David, David J Johnson (talk) 12:53, 12 October 2017 (UTC)

Shin splint deletions

IP 2600:387:2:811:0:0:0:C2
G'day, Widr. Hope you are well. Not sure how this happened, but we both seem to have blocked IP 2600:387:2:811:0:0:0:C2. Apologies for this. I'm a bit confused, though, because when I blocked the IP the software didn't prompt me that they were already blocked (which it usually does). Also, there appear to be different time frames showing for the block. One page (the user contribs page), shows your block:, while the block log just shows my block:. Do you know why the block log wouldn't show your block, and the software would let me block, when you already had? Once again, apologies for this, not quite sure how this happened. Cheers, AustralianRupert (talk) 23:47, 13 October 2017 (UTC)
 * (tps) Widr rangeblocked 2600:387:2:811::/64, you blocked just that specific IP, so the logs are different –72 (t) 23:49, 13 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that's what happened. Thanks, 72. I very rarely do range blocks, but this time I did. Widr (talk) 23:51, 13 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Ah, that makes sense now. Thank you both for the explanation. Cheers, AustralianRupert (talk) 23:56, 13 October 2017 (UTC)

Redaction criteria
Don't mean to be a killjoy, but can you please explain what part of the Revision deletion policy covers this? It might not seem important, but if this user creates another account and carries on socking, non-admins can't see an obvious WP:DUCK case. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  15:53, 16 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I would think reason 4 of WP:DEL-REASON covers it. Widr (talk) 16:07, 16 October 2017 (UTC)
 * That's the policy to delete articles, not for revision deletion. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  16:12, 16 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Well, that's part of RD5. Widr (talk) 16:33, 16 October 2017 (UTC)
 * ...which says "It is important that the underlying reason for deletion be made clear in the log summary", which "spam" isn't. Never mind. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  16:35, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

New Page Reviewer Newsletter
Hello, thank you for your efforts reviewing new pages!

Backlog update: Technology update: General project update: If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, go here. TonyBallioni (talk) 17:47, 21 October 2017 (UTC)
 * The new page backlog is currently at 12,878 pages. We have worked hard to decrease from over 22,000, but more hard work is needed! Please consider reviewing even just a few pages a day.
 * We have successfully cleared the backlog of pages created by non-confirmed accounts before ACTRIAL. Thank you to everyone who participated in that drive.
 * Primefac has created a script that will assist in requesting revision deletion for copyright violations that are often found in new pages. For more information see User:Primefac/revdel.
 * The Article Wizard has been updated and simplified to match the layout style of the new user landing page. If you have not yet seen it, take a look.
 * To keep up with the latest conversation on New Pages Patrol or to ask questions, you can go to Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers and add it to your watchlist.

self harm threat
Communist1980, the user you just blocked, attempted this edit. Since we are sopossed to take all suicide threats seriously, I thought I should point this out. (the nuclear threat seems obviously fake). Tornado chaser (talk) 22:59, 21 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Did you inform emergency? (see WP:999) I have done so. Adam9007 (talk) 23:50, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

Block durations


Was it your intention to only block these IPs for one week?... 73.45.141.218 (talk) 19:52, 20 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Yeah, Taokaka. Fully intentional. Widr (talk) 19:54, 20 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Taokaka is evading their block here, which appears to be fairly static. Sro23 (talk) 18:28, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

Hi Widr, could you block as it appears to be a stable IP address being used for block evasion. Sro23 (talk) 23:52, 31 October 2017 (UTC)

31 Hours?
Looks like the account: Jmahmoud72 (talk) is a vandalism only account. I'm curious as to what differentiation there is for not using an indefinite block as compared to the 31 hour block put in place?

lolbot
You know, I think Wiki could save its worthwhile contributors and admins a great deal of time by setting up a bot that simply reverts everyone who puts 'lol' in an article or edit summary on sight; the false positives would be a small price. Anmccaff (talk) 22:08, 9 November 2017 (UTC)

Bambenekcd1
I just bugged C. Fred, but could you explain why you removed this user's userpage? If I recall, the page in question appeared to be reasonable when I looked at it and wasn't disruptive. It looks like he was doing _something_ disruptive, but given it had some actual contributions, I'm not sure why he was blocked without talk page access or had his user page deleted. Hobit (talk) 16:15, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Because of possible BLP issues. The user is most likely some LTA. Widr (talk) 17:06, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Agreed. I was far too far on the AGF side (though I couldn't see the deleted articles, so you had that on me I guess).  Thanks for the follow up. Hobit (talk) 19:43, 25 November 2017 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for blocking 80.111.244.114, I did debate reporting them but had a feeling someone at AIV would say "Not warned enough" which is usually case now so figured I'd just give a warning first but thanks for that much appreciated :), – Davey 2010 Talk 20:49, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
