Hey, Widr. This I.P. address is continually vandalizingPaloma Faith by removing content. Could you blockUser:82.153.21.31? Cheers!MissAriArt (talk)10:18, 25 October 2018 (UTC)

@MissAriArt: It appears to me to be awp:content dispute. Vandalism is not obvious to me.Jim1138 (talk)10:20, 25 October 2018 (UTC)

@Jim1138: This user still needs to be blocked though.MissAriArt (talk)10:22, 25 October 2018 (UTC)

I have noticed that you removed the block request ofWhydoyoucare as stale (blocked and unblocked). But that user needs to be blocked as an obvious VOA and also the username does not match the username policy. So please blockWhydoyoucare as the block reason{{uw-vaublock}}. Thank you.122.162.159.123 (talk)15:48, 24 October 2018 (UTC)

There is no need to block them now, because they haven't edited since last year. Such reports do not belong to AIV, that's only meant for ongoing vandalism/disruption.Widr (talk)15:54, 24 October 2018 (UTC)

Hey, Widr. How is it going? You have recently blockedIP 49.181.205.53 for 72 hours. Can it be extended to indefilently or something? He has been pursuing me, making personal attacks andclaims he won't stop. I already had my fair share of trolls, i don't need another one (even though i'm famous for my patience with them). Can you figure this out? Thank you.Coltsfan (talk)12:08, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

IPs are almost never blocked indefinitely, but if they continue after the current block expires, I'll give them a considerably longer time-out.Widr (talk)12:25, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

Well,it didn't take long. And it'sgoing to be continuos. I personally don't care. Been fighting trolls and vandals for a long time. But wish there were better ways to fight these kind of trolling. Anyway, thanks for everything!Coltsfan (talk)13:20, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

Hey Widr.This user that you blocked has come back in the form ofa new account. Any chance of another block? Cheers.DaHuzyBru (talk)18:34, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

You wrote "Likely a school based on behavioral evidence"; however aWHOIS lookup reports the IP as being a domestic address for Talk Straight. A school or library IP in that area would have a .gov.uk or .sch.uk domain. Can you reduce the block to a few hours? A year seems complete overkill.Ritchie333^(talk)(cont)16:43, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

Nothing but vandalism since January 2017. Reducing the length would make very little sense.Widr (talk)16:57, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

That's a little disingenuous. The IP has only 20 edits, spread apart over a long time period. The only times that have required a block are on 25 September (worth 12 hours), and today (worth 24). I recall more than a few times while out and about over the summer looking at WP logged out on my phone (O2 4G) and noticing the IP had been blocked. Remember thatWP:IPBLENGTH says "Blocks should be based on the protection of Wikipedia rather than the punishment of offenders. Most IP addresses should not be blocked more than a few hours, since the malicious user will probably move on by the time the block expires"Ritchie333^(talk)(cont)17:07, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

@Notingnothing111: Usertalk pages aren't supposed to redirect anywhere (in general) butthere's not really anything saying that user pages cannot redirect to that user's talk page. There's plenty of users who do that.Ian.thomson (talk)04:25, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for banning the disruptive IP editor. I already reverted its edits three times atPolish–Lithuanian Commonwealth today, which falls underWP:3RR. However, since he was banned for his behavior, wouldWP:3RRNO (criterion #3) be justifiable to make another revert, which would be my fourth revert in that page? –Sabbatino (talk)15:11, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

Pera common interest in theKingdom of Hungary (1920–1946), and looking atthe rangecontribs of the /24 I believe these two IPs are the same person. You just blocked the 241 for three months. Is it reasonable for one of us to go ahead and block the 238 for the same amount of time? Or do a /24 rangeblock? There is a closed SPI case atWP:Sockpuppet investigations/123.124.233.241/Archive which is an attempt to document the general behavior, though no firm conclusion was reached as to how many IPs are involved. Thanks,EdJohnston (talk)18:01, 27 November 2018 (UTC)

@EdJohnston: Sure, go ahead. I'm a bit on/off at the moment, but both of those options are fine with me.Widr (talk)18:19, 27 November 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for blocking those two inappropriate usernames. However, it looks like you forgot to actually give a block reason and notify the users (not sure why you removed email and talk page immediately, etiher). —Matthew Wong(atPMA),16:17, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

Talk page watcher here - they are such blatant username vios that no reason need be given, and there is approaching zero probability of them having any good-faith need for email or talk page access.DuncanHill (talk)16:21, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi. I just noticed that you are able to change the visibility of an edit summary. I am wondering whether you can do something about the edit summary forJapanese holdout timestamped 2018-11-28T21:27:24.

Hey Widr,

Could you take action on this user? They are a sock of a user I reported earlier (which you blocked). --1989 (talk)22:21, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

Since the disruption is not current (these IPs and the account haven't edited since yesterday), I'd rather ler the SPI folks handle it as they see fit.Widr (talk)22:40, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

You blockedthis one as an LTA. I don't doubt it, but I'd appreciate it if you could tell me which one; that way I can block on sight without hesitation next time (I was checking the contribution history when you pulled the trigger).Vanamonde (talk)22:45, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

Well, if you look at their contributions, you really should not hesitate at all. There are so many of these around; I don't know which one this is, nor do i really care. It doesn't matter at all. Just block and move on.Widr (talk)22:50, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

It's possible you misunderstand; you had already blocked by the time I had clicked on their contributions page; Some LTAs, however, have a pattern well-known enough that they can be identified by a single edit, and blocked that much faster. Also, without knowing who this is, I would block as a NOTHERE account, which is good enough for the moment but might be trickier to someone trying to examine a pattern of behavior later. Hence my question. Best,Vanamonde (talk)23:35, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

FYI, this one is JarlaxleArtemis. Don't be surprised if you see a bunch of threats of violence being thrown around next. --zzuuzz^(talk)23:45, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

Your conclusion that this edit was vandalism may have been an overreaction. I have posted to the user's talk page. You might reconsider the ban.Spike-from-NH (talk)23:16, 9 December 2018 (UTC)

The block was mostly based on the edits caught by the edit filter.Widr (talk)06:57, 10 December 2018 (UTC)

I don't see the interactions with the edit filter; only the edits toRoller derby that you undid, one inept edit in userspace, and a fourth that might have been an attempt to complain about the edit filter. It doesn't strike me as malicious. If you see other actions that justified the block, then no reply needed.Spike-from-NH (talk)00:33, 11 December 2018 (UTC)

Hello! I am a little bit concerned about my IP range (110.54.128.0/17) But i'm not that user who abuses it. I'm currently using an registered account.

They are usually free to do so, seeWP:BLANKING.Widr (talk)15:34, 19 December 2018 (UTC)

Okay, this is the re-edited version of my apology message.

Widr, I'm sorry that I have threatened to have personal attacks on all Wikipedia users including NinjaRobotPirate, Donner60, and Binksternet over the case of unsourced contents onUniversal Animation StudiosThe Land Before Time: Journey of the Brave (2016) that I have implanted in during our last Halloween season. I know that this just was an American animated film, but while the pre-production and post-production processes were based in our country, animation were done overseas at BV Animation Studio, Brilliant Animation Studios, and Tycoon Animation. That's what I've seen from the ending credits. Meanwhile, despite being produced atDon Bluth's studios in California and Ireland, some other work on feature films such asRock-a-Doodle (1990, 1991/92),A Troll in Central Park (1992, 1993/94) andHans Christian Andersen's Thumbelina (1992/93, 1994) were also done at several other animation companies, likeA. Film Production in Copenhagen, Denmark.

I don't meant to make my attempt to murder you guys. I just badly wanted to make you understand about the animation studios, the animation departments of every film and television company, and their rights to farm out their work to Japan, Korea (South Korea and North Korea), the Philippines, and Taiwan... Even for their joint ventures. But, this three-month or four-month block evasion that you put me under has left me greatly more severely hurt than you. I can't stand being blocked by NOT just you, but any other users on Wikipedia any more further or longer. I JUST CAN'T. After all, animation work on direct-to-video films and the TV series fromThe Land Before Time franchise were almost entirely made atAKOM, thenWang Film Productions andToon City Animation. Along with them, as well asRankin/Bass Productions' "Animagic" (stop motion) and hand-drawn projects, all other western (notably North American, European and Australian) companies have outsourced animation to Asian countries, rather than producing animation in-house in their own countries. Why don't you guys care how about I feel about this? And on top of all this unbeatable concern... Why torment me? All this mental cruelty and unfair... that's all I have ever suffered.— Precedingunsigned comment added by68.224.57.136 (talk)19:58, 19 December 2018 (UTC)

		Happy Christmas!
		Hello Widr, Early inA Child's Christmas in Wales the youngDylan and his friend Jim Prothero witness smoke pouring from Jim's home. After the conflagration has been extinguished Dylan writes that Nobody could have had a noisier Christmas Eve. And when the firemen turned off the hose and were standing in the wet, smoky room, Jim's Aunt, Miss. Prothero, came downstairs and peered in at them. Jim and I waited, very quietly, to hear what she would say to them. She said the right thing, always. She looked at the three tall firemen in their shining helmets, standing among the smoke and cinders and dissolving snowballs, and she said, "Would you like anything to read?" My thanks to you for your efforts to keep the 'pedia readable in case the firemen chose one of our articles :-) Best wishes to you and yours and happy editing in 2019.MarnetteD|Talk23:00, 19 December 2018 (UTC)

Just out of curiosity, did you actually evaluate the edits from that range, or did you just say "oh, this has been blocked before so lets block it again"? Looking at just the past 50 edits, your "schoolblock" is blocking people from the Miami-Dade County Public Library System andFlorida SouthWestern State College, and some of it (even from the K-12 schools) is not vandalism.PCHS-NJROTC^{(Messages)Have a blessed day.}21:46, 20 December 2018 (UTC)
