Edit War

Hello, I'm Samuel Farrell. I had no intention of engaging in an edit war, so I am sorry; I was on the other hand, trying to be as polite as possible. Thanks. Samuel.farrell31 (talk) 21:59, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

It's okay, no harm done. Widr (talk) 04:38, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

74.92.73.117

Last week, you blocked that IP for 6 months. Based on this, you may want to consider revoking their talk page access. --A guy saved by Jesus (talk) 22:00, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

Not just yet, but I'll be watching. Widr (talk) 04:40, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

Something fishy

Hey there, Widr (seems I always default to you whenever I need an experienced user's opinion). Anyway, I was patrolling the New User Log and ran across User:RFX Dealers. His user page is really, really odd. His user page is allowed to be as weird as he wants, but there's one thing that bothers me: he has topicons indicating that he's autopatrolled and a reviewer – but his account was created just minutes ago. That's misleading and poses a big issue. I don't know what to do here and would like your opinion. Amccann421 (talk) 21:25, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

Might be a sockpuppet, might have copied from someone else's page. Hard to say and I don't really have time to investigate now.. Widr (talk) 07:37, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

No worries. Was just curious of your opinion. Amccann421 (talk) 04:42, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

Some bubble tea for you!

Thanks for the deletions + blocks. You're making me feel obsolete :) GAB^gab 21:07, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

Nah, you deserve half of it. ;-) Widr (talk) 21:09, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

Well, I'm only half-obsolete. GAB^gab 21:22, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

You're welcome, Keep up the great work! :) –Davey2010^Talk 22:35, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

I second, third and fourth Davey2010's comments and the awarding of the barnstar. Many thanks and I hope you both have a delightful weekend. MarnetteD|Talk 22:42, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

Dear Widr,

You are one of the kindest admins here in English Wikipedia. I'm so glad you're here. With regards.--Mona778 (talk) 07:23, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

Thanks, that's so kind of you. Widr (talk) 09:48, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you for acting upon AIV requests so diligently. Can you also delete this in case you have time? Thanks. Xender Lourdes (talk) 11:03, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

That was uploaded to Commons, not locally, so I can't delete it. Widr (talk) 11:06, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

Thanks. Xender Lourdes (talk) 11:11, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

Socks attacking JamesBWatson

Any idea who the sockmaster is? A quick check on @JamesBWatson:'s talk page reveals nothing. Dat Guy^Talk_Contribs 12:13, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

It's one of these long term cases. Please just revert and report when you see them. They don't deserve any extra attention. Widr (talk) 12:16, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

IP 180.234.248.132

Thanks again for sorting this out - much appreciated. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 17:12, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

No problem. Widr (talk) 17:14, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

SFO

Thanks for protecting. May I ask you to revert the IP's edit to remove that unsubstantiated statement? HkCaGu (talk) 20:09, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

Done. Widr (talk) 20:12, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

person of interest

someone is posting a massive spoiler regarding amy acker's character on the show person of interest. i'll keep deleting everytime. it's not an information regarding the actress, so it shouldn't be on her page spoiling the show for whoever read his 'career' entry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.108.255.181 (talk) 00:07, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) 131.108.255.181, I cannot stress enough that there is no such thing as a "spoiler" of any detail of an episode that has already aired—four days ago, in fact. In addition, we are an encyclopedia, not a fan site. Removal of this data may result in you being blocked from editing. 🖖ATS / Talk 04:00, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

Also, Widr, my apologies for stating the obvious, but the passage was deliberately phrased to be actress-specific. 🖖ATS / Talk 05:45, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

Could you take a look here?

Could you take a look at my report at WP:Requests_for_page_protection#Vandalism_by_complete_change_of_track_list_information? It's getting a bit tedious manually reverting all the vandalism. A set of four or five different IPs have been vandalizing this set of articles over the past ten days or so, repeatedly, by replacing the track list with a completely different set of information from another album's track listing. Willondon (talk) 00:40, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

Protected. Widr (talk) 10:27, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

The IP is back again

and making personal attacks on my talk page....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 10:50, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

Disable talk page access

Make it so user:77.146.78.218 cannot use his talk page no more. 2602:306:3357:BA0:886A:3A70:5ED8:8BE6 (talk) 18:54, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

Responding to Widr message

I have no control over 107.77.217.50. These IP addresses are randomly assigned by AT&T and I was not the one who made an edit to C.J. Fick, don't even know who that is.

107.77.217.50 (talk) 00:57, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

User:DjLiveRecords

Please also revoke talk page access - continues to spam after being blocked.--Cahk (talk) 07:57, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

Alexlittle03

The content this user has added was more than just unsourced, it was insertion of deliberate factual errors. Look - [1] - edit summary says: "Two seasons are starting to air this year. far from over: http://www.awn.com/news/oasis-animation-tapped-new-seasons-arthur". Also: [2] [3] [4] [5]. Based on these edits, this user is very problematic, and is a vandalism-only account. An upgrade to an indefinite block is needed. Electric Burst^{(Electron firings)}_(Zaps) 15:45, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

Report again if disruption continues after the current block expires. There's no reason to indef yet. Widr (talk) 16:21, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

Yes. There is. All this user has ever done is vandalize pages by deliberately introducing incorrect information. Electric Burst^{(Electron firings)}_(Zaps) 17:44, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

Block Evasion

Hello, looks like user User talk:153.19.171.18 you blocked earlier is now User talk:94.254.227.47 I have warned him consistently and want him to talk to resolve but no answer. Hope you can help? Shire Lord (talk) 20:30, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

Blocked. I also protected the article. Widr (talk) 20:39, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

Many thanks. Shire Lord (talk) 20:44, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

A beer for you!

Many thanks for removing vandalism from my talk page. Enjoy!! Denisarona (talk) 12:13, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

Thanks! Widr (talk) 12:15, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

Ronald Koeman

I see you have reverted some of the recent edits. Unfortunately, the edits by User:TomGeog also need reverting. They are uncited and based on speculation. Whilst it is probable that Koeman will change clubs, this is not yet confirmed. 92.26.162.36 (talk) 16:09, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

Alice Greene Angela Greene

  Dear Widr Angela Greene Poet is not Alice Greene Tennis player.Wrong article I'm afraid.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dowthhenge (talk • contribs) 17:19, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

@Dowthhenge:, what are you saying? --‖ Ebyabe ^talk - Health and Welfare ‖ 23:54, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

Rollback

As you said here: ( https://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?oldid=719225237#User:ThePlatypusofDoom ), I can contact you when I graduate. Currently, in my CVUA training, I am at the stage to request rollback. ThePlatypusofDoom (Talk) 23:17, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

Done. Widr (talk) 04:38, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

Alice Greene

    Hello Widr,

I personally knew the Drogheda poet Angela Greene. When you click on her name in the blue wiki list the biography of Alice Greene a female English Tennis player comes up which is incorrect. The photo is also wrong. Someone needs to write a proper wiki article on Angela Greene, drogheda poet. many thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dowthhenge (talk • contribs) 12:15, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

Evasion of block of 46.177.54.59

Unconstructive edit??

All I did was fix grammatical errors. Which you undid. So, I'm going to go ahead and undo your undo. As you can see, there is no unconstructiveness in my edits.

Crunchumag

Could you kindly restrict the user's talk page access as well? They continue to use the talk page as an advertising platform. RickinBaltimore (talk) 15:19, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

I read your mind and did it already. Widr (talk) 15:20, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

Media in Puerto Rico: question about reverting my edit

--Juantele (talk) 15:45, 9 June 2016 (UTC) Could you help me make my edit work?

DaDa 5000

Could you check it now I have edited it quite a bit along with other people. You gave me a second chance and here is me proving to you it was a good choice. --ishtiaquewwf (talk) 19:35, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

Yes, it looks good now and there are helpful editors working with you on the article. I'm glad to see that the second chance turned out well for you. Widr (talk) 18:53, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

101domain‎

Take a look at the page, specifically the editors pulling the CSD tag off the rather obvious advertising. I've pretty sure there's some socking going on, but can't tell of who. Can you have a quick look? RickinBaltimore (talk) 19:38, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

I agree. Fishy. Could be work of a sockfarm. Widr (talk) 19:43, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

IP block

Hi Widr, I just wanted to let you know I switched one of your blocks from an open proxy block to a regular block. Many companies use proxy servers, which is not an issue, it is not the same as operating an open proxy. I double checked to ensure there were no open ports and then switched the reason for the block to "disruptive editing" but didn't change the block length you originally set. Hope that's ok!--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 20:47, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

No problem. Thanks for letting me know. Widr (talk) 20:54, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

You're absolutely killing it as an admin, by the way. Thank you for everything you do! --Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 21:13, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

Whack-a-mole

Hi, looking for counsel/training here. There's a vandal who keeps changing ip address and has been vandalizing Marvin Ducksch (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) for about an hour now. What's the right response? Continue whack-a-mole? Or temporary semi-protection? Thanks as always . . . Chris vLS (talk) 14:35, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

I mean it's possible that it's more than one vandal, but they seem to be awfully well coordinated (not overlapping in time, same themes in edits). Chris vLS (talk) 14:36, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

Thanks. I protected the article. Could be a mass attack or not. Widr (talk) 14:38, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

No, thank you! Interestingly, the pace of removing the new vandalism obscured that I was reverting back to a ClueBot revision, but that revision contained factual errors that ClueBot missed. Now fixed. Cheers. Chris vLS (talk) 14:45, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

Persistent Sockpuppetry

You may recall Peanutism-only kid, Peanutism-only account, and President Eisenhower. Now, we have Baptism-only account. The username is obviously similar, and the userpage is the wikipage of Eisenhower, just like a previous sock. Same disruptive photo changes, too: [6][7][8][9][10]. I suspect there is a link to the already-blocked Mr. Eisenhower, too. Since this is really not worth taking to SPI, I would greatly appreciate if you could block~~/tag~~ the sockfarm, as you are familiar with it. Thanks for your help! GAB^gab 17:31, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

Blocked. I won't tag though (WP:DENY and all). Thanks. Widr (talk) 17:34, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

No, thank you... GAB^gab 17:35, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

Alisabriofficiel

I think their talk page needs to be shut down. They have taken to repsot their advertising on their talk page. RickinBaltimore (talk) 19:44, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

Done, thanks again. Widr (talk) 19:46, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

Ed Cassidy

That IP from New Jersey/New York, who had been adding hoax information to the "Carouselambra" article has now moved onto the Ed Cassidy article. He's readding patently false information that had been removed years ago. 177.89.14.141 (talk) 00:27, 11 June 2016 (UTC)

Rejected Request for Rollback

You didn't even notify me on my talk page that you rejected my request for rollback. Did you think that was a bad faith request or something?

Also, you didn't even nominate me for the Counter-Vandalism Unit. James1011R (talk, contribs) 19:12, 11 June 2016 (UTC)

We mark the requests "done" or "not done" on the request page; everything else is optional. It has nothing to do with bad faith. Also, you don't need to be nominated to enter CVUA. Widr (talk) 19:30, 11 June 2016 (UTC)

Er...

You may not have been paying attention, but I had already completed the technical request for Kenneth S. Reightler Jr. As such, when you deleted that page, you deleted the article. Please restore it. RGloucester — ☎ 20:18, 11 June 2016 (UTC)

Yes, conflict. You were too quick. Widr (talk) 20:24, 11 June 2016 (UTC)

A brownie for you!

Dear Widr! incorrect thing on battle of Keresztes.holy league strange was 140.00-200.000.then they deleted it(Ahmedovic464780:He is new on Wikipedia)after one user added pp blocker.but claims are same.you can see old edits.please help.sorry for my english(Widr please reply my message) Dengesizzz (talk) 00:07, 11 June 2016 (UTC)

You should go to the article's talk page and discuss your concerns there. Widr (talk) 22:53, 11 June 2016 (UTC)

But i said this users deleted to strenght and claims are same.you can see old edits.if you dont want to help me its ok. Dengesizzz (talk) 16:18, 12 June 2016 (UTC)

I can barely understand what you are writing. Since I have never edited that article, why did you come to my page? Are you using multiple accounts? Widr (talk) 16:24, 12 June 2016 (UTC)

"You are likely to find me reverting vandalism and other inappropriate edits all over the English Wikipedia." This users are making vandalizm.i said i want to help you.you can remove ppblocker on this article.no im not using 2 account.they banned m :D Dengesizzz (talk) 16:52, 12 June 2016 (UTC)

They banned you? So you are evading your block? Widr (talk) 16:57, 12 June 2016 (UTC)

Its my new account.(my english).other account banned.according to others i made vandalism. Dengesizzz (talk) 17:04, 12 June 2016 (UTC)

And your old account is User:Dengesizz, I assume? Widr (talk) 17:07, 12 June 2016 (UTC)

Yes :/ Dengesizzz (talk) 17:09, 12 June 2016 (UTC)

You should be aware that you are not allowed to make new accounts if you have been blocked before. That's block evasion. Widr (talk) 17:13, 12 June 2016 (UTC)

i dont know that.One user deleted my all edits and i sweared him after they banned me :D Dengesizzz (talk) 17:17, 12 June 2016 (UTC)

Well, don't be surprised if you get blocked again.You would have to go back to your very first account and request unblock there instead of creating new accounts. Widr (talk) 17:21, 12 June 2016 (UTC)

its not imporant.will you help this? Dengesizzz (talk) 17:55, 12 June 2016 (UTC)

No. Widr (talk) 17:56, 12 June 2016 (UTC)

Vandalism report reverted

Hi, sorry, I don't understand. What was wrong? The talk contribution is obviously not in the right place there - is it? bkb (talk) 13:49, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

Obviously not, but that doesn't make it vandalism. It looks more like a test edit. Also, the edit was made three years ago, and this user has not made any other edits since then. Widr (talk) 14:11, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

FAC: Agharta (album)

Hi. Would you be willing to review/comment at my nomination of Agharta (album) for featured status? I'm hoping to expedite the review process in hopes of nominating another article as well. Dan56 (talk) 23:39, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

June 15, 2016, VF8005

We have an issue with VF8005, a Canadian station on 88.5 FM, and I thought you might be able to help resolve it. I added an infobox and someone took it off, claiming it is overkill. Is there such a thing that a small (LP) station shouldn't have an infobox?? Rudy2alan 14:58, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

Not that I'm aware of. I suggest you discuss this with the new user (as I see you already have). Widr (talk) 15:09, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

IP

Where should I report User talk:122.171.48.233.--Vin09 (talk) 14:46, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

IP is stale now, so I wouldn't report it anywhere at this point, unless they return. AIV is not the best venue, because this is not obvious vandalism or disruption. Some of their edits seem to be more about content dispute. Widr (talk) 15:05, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

Started targetting my articles and removing references like edit1, edit2, edit3, edit4 (though ref exists--Vin09 (talk) 06:18, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

Any reason you havent given them a warning yet? Widr (talk) 06:26, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

I gave several warnings but no use, it was a modified IP, a new IP doing same old edits.--Vin09 (talk) 06:28, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
