You may want to consider revoking his talk page access, he keeps blanking his talk page after receiving a block notice. I don't want to get deeply involved in an edit conflict, so just do whatever you want with this information. Snidester (talk) 18:54, 8 April 2018 (UTC)

Disruptive IP
IP block evasion - 103.78.16.180. Repeating the same thing - adding unsourced POVish genre. 45.249.169.110, 103.78.16.16. Deserves a range block; this IP has been doing this since months. I have already given around 40-50 warning to his various IPs since last year. At a point also tried to discuss the matter which went in vain. Now that the user very well knows his editing is problematic but does not care and has the advantage of having dynamic IP.-- Let There Be Sunshine 07:27, 13 April 2018 (UTC)

Extend edit-warring block to second IP of same editor please?
Morning. (contribs) was blocked ten days ago for edit-warring on Harpy eagle. Their other IP address (contribs), which previously had shared in the warring  but did not get blocked, has now started up again with the identical issue. Could you please extend the block to that one as well? (I'm assuming work and private connections of the same individual). Cheers! -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 12:17, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

A Favor
Would it be at all possible if I could ask you to semi-protect the pages Viti Levu giant pigeon, Daphnobela juncea and Bucorvus brailloni? These pages are being haunted by an IP-hopping vandal who can not be bothered to understand that prehistoric animals do not receive IUCN status. I know it has read the hidden messages I left in the pages for it, as it took the time to delete them, but, otherwise, this editor has made no effort to heed warnings or messages. Thank you very much for your consideration.--Mr Fink (talk) 18:55, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

Yet another sockpuppet account
created another sockpuppet account, he also uses a sleeper account, which also a sockpuppet account and continues to evade his block – Lietuvai100 and Kraken44. – Sabbatino (talk) 08:46, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

Just blocked IP Special:Contributions/92.22.154.138
Hello. It's a static IP that has been used by Shingling334, and no one else, for four days now judging by the edits, including edit-warring with a Greek Cypriot IP in Nicosia over which language, Greek or Turkish, should be used for names on Kyrenia Mountains on their first day of using this IP (Shingling334 is a Cypriot Turk, even though he geolocates to Essex, UK...), so would you mind upping the block to a week? - Tom &#124; Thomas.W talk 19:22, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Wouldn't be much point with all the IP hopping, but I'll block this one again if they resume editing after the current block. Widr (talk) 19:46, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
 * In case you wonder why I'm going after Shingling334, and nailing his socks as soon as I see them, take a look at the contributions of his latest named sock... - Tom &#124; Thomas.W talk 19:56, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

Hello sir Widr!
How are you? I'm Chuck. Reccently I have been editing and viewing 24/7 live new pages including recent changes. I feel; being rollbacker(or new page reviewr/autopatrolled) would be something that would be efficient for me via my contrb. - You may feel it is a slightly too soon, however I have a great ambition and if I could get one of these rights to increase my contrb efficiency rate, well that would be splendid. I also have a suggestion that I could go on a test run with your suppervision, and via that you'll see how good I use the tools. You can also see that I have nominated many speedy deletions and also edited new pages instantly. I plan on having a great ambition and impact and I really hope you see what I want to do here. --KnowledgeChuck (talk) 20:16, 3 May 2018 (UTC)

Sock puppet
Hello Widr. I see you blocked the account NarutoIB, and it looks like he or she has made BorutoIB as a sock to evade that.

Rollback abuse by User:CataracticPlanets
As you were the person who granted the roll back rights could you please review this user's recent activity? They used their access to roll back a BLP issue and ignored the talk page discussion on it. Another admin has taken care of this already however I do not believe this person is ready for expanded rights if they cannot understand why BLP issues must be discussed prior to inclusion. 104.249.227.78 (talk) 10:39, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

IP-hopping serial vandal in Canada
Hello. I noticed you blocked Special:Contributions/184.147.31.244. It's a long-time IP-hopping serial vandal in Toronto, see my comments at User talk:184.146.204.179, and the six-month rangeblock and global lock of Special:Contributions/184.146.204.0/22 that it resulted in (another of their usual ranges, starting with "74.", has also been rangeblocked and globally locked for six months recently). So would you mind rangeblocking Special:Contributions/184.147.31.0/22 too for six months? All edits in that range also seem to have been made by the vandal. - Tom &#124; Thomas.W talk 21:04, 20 June 2018 (UTC) ( Pinging User:Stryn who made the global lock yesterday)

Hi Widr, you blocked about eight months ago - it's one of the many socks of WhenDatHotlineBling.

Issue about an article
Respected Widr;

I am a member of Turkish Wikipedia Community. I want to take your attention about an article an an user who permanently blocked in Turkish Wikipedia (reason being a puppet master). I know wikis are not interesting in local/sister project blocks, but i want to inform you about situation.

Dear Wikipedia user User:Ruhubelent was blocked by admin Vikiçizer on 14 June. The reasons was obsession on 12 Eylül Darbesi. At least four experienced user try to explain “What did he/she do mistakly” but he/she could not understand. After this block on 1 July another admin was blocked him/her again for the same reason for 2 weeks. Because he/she obsessed to add some information on article, despite opposite proofs and thoughts, he/she continued to add same things.

After second block he/she started to add same information on same article and wrote some places (talk pages, admin message pages, village pump, help desk etc.) also he/she did IP vandalism with several IP addresses. He/she did vandalism in the name of “Protest”. After those things an admin requested an IP check; another checkuser has checked and approved the puppets. Result the user blocked permanently by third admin.

Now he/she is continuing his/her vandalism in Turkish Wikipedia with IP accounts. He/she always copy paste same things in help desk, village pump, article’s talk page also another page’s talk page (like Lionel Messi!). I noticed now he/she made some arrangements on 1980 Turkish coup d'état. I do not want to deal with that situation; first my English is not enough for an argument second i know him/her is not a person who can understand opposite’s concerns.

I can find you as an active administrator here. I am kindly requesting that please be sure his/her contirbutions real. He/she has some obsessive ideas on that article.

If you want I can find out and present all proofs in Turkish Wikipedia about that issue.

Best regards. Chansey (talk) 12:49, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, Chansey, but this is something I have no interest in or knowledge of, so I will not get myself involved. You are correct that the Turkish wiki is a different project with very little relevance here. If there are content related issues, you should go to the article's talk page to discuss them, but if you need admin intervention, you will have to find someone else who is more familiar with the context. Widr (talk) 16:33, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much dear Widr. I only request is keep an eye for him... Thanks you. Chansey (talk) 12:09, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

I hope you stay involved/interested in the atan2 article.
It appears there may be a dispute brewing there. 50.47.108.245 (talk) 20:20, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
