Thanks for cleaning up my talk page

As above, so below. And thank you for indeffing User:Dangled10. I had a feeling we hadn't heard the last of them and they tried to hack my account in addition to vandalizing my userpage. I did do an SPI just so User:Dangled6 is listed as a sockpuppet for future reference. Etzedek24 ^{(I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record)} 17:16, 2 December 2020 (UTC)

IP vandal 72.138.20.110 needs global block

Thanks for blocking that IP. I noticed on their talk page that another user noticed they were vandalizing Wikidata in Feb. 2020. In light of their history, I suggest that 72.138.20.110 should be globally blocked to prevent them from simply going after the next piece of low-hanging Internet fruit on Wikipedia.--Quisqualis (talk) 20:44, 12 December 2020 (UTC)

Reopen the page titled 'Khushali Kumar'

Hi Widr,

Back in 2016, you had enabled a deletion on the page 'Khushali Kumar' because a few Wikipedia guidelines weren't followed. I wanted to know if there is a possibility of opening it up again so that we can create that page keeping in mind all the guidelines and reference links needed to make the information reliable.

82.132.214.39

Hi Widr, you just blocked ip 82.132.214.39 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) for 31 hours. Please compare with ip 82.132.247.50 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) and their recent 6 month range block of 82.132.244.0/22 by user Callanecc (hereby pinged). Comparing their "arguably"-edits [2] and [3] and their ip-location, it's clear that 82.132.214.39 was block evading. Perhaps the ip-range should be broadened a bit, or given their other recent reverted edits, flanked with 82.132.212.0/22. TIA and cheers - DVdm (talk) 17:46, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

ANI

Hey Widr, there’s a thread at ANI which relates to a couple of blocks you made. Please see WP:ANI#Dodgy block behaviour. Don’t shoot the messenger please and thankyou... Thanks, —Jack Frost (talk) 13:40, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

Nevermind; quite rightly closed as a waste of time. Jack Frost (talk) 01:17, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

A question relating to a block

There's an unblock request at UTRS for Wikipdia special chief editor, aka Tictok Jones brother. You blocked both those accounts, and also Tictok the mom. Wikipdia special chief editor admits to being Tictok Jones brother, but claims that Tictok the mom was "someone with the same IP address". I am unconvinced: it looks to me like classic good hand/bad hand sockpuppetry, and the similarity of user names clearly indicates a closer connection than just "someone with the same IP address". I therefore have no intention of accepting the unblock request, at least not unless they can come up with a far better explanation. However, it isn't obvious to me that there's any good reason for the unblock request to be made on UTRS, rather than on-wiki, where it is visible to everyone, which is much better unless there are strong reasons for keeping it off the talk page. I am wondering why you removed talk page access. There have been only three talk page edits of any kind from the accounts, and although those three edits were not constructive, they were not the kind of serious abuse of talk page access that normally warrants removing that access. Having said that, you may have a good reason for that action, not obvious to me; if so then I will be grateful if you let me know. Otherwise, would you object to restoring talk page access so that an unblock request can be made there? JBW (talk) 22:50, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

I sometimes tend to do that preemptively for obvious time-wasters. But OK, restored now. Widr (talk) 23:45, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

Are vandalism levels higher in the summer or winter?

As you have been fighting vandals for a long time, I am asking you this. I believe they are more vandals in the summer as the kids are not at school. This will be the first summer I will be reverting vandalism, so I am just wondering what I am up for. Steve M (talk) 03:28, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

I'm not sure, I haven't really kept statistics. It's ebb and flow throughout the year. Widr (talk) 09:05, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

Can user:95.74.26.160 please be blocked ASAP for vandalism. CLCStudent (talk) 14:46, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

Could you help me to understand one of your range blocks?

I'm looking at the rangeblock on 2600:387:B:3:0:0:0:0/64, which you made for a three year period on January 24, 2020. Could you please let me know what triggered that block? It is a very active range and I'm wondering if it can be withdrawn now. Risker (talk) 04:02, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

It was most likely triggered by a report to AIV. There's been quite a lot of vandalism and previous blocks, but you can of course unblock now if you think it's for the best. Widr (talk) 06:11, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
