Hi Widr, an IP editing from 222.127.191.40 and more recently from 222.127.190.202 has made many gnomish edits on earthquake list articles. I initially checked them but found all of them to be fine, mostly updating values to match updated version of cited sources. I've no doubt that you blocked them for good reason, perhaps for block evasion. I'm just curious because everything I've seen has been a positive to the project. Mikenorton ( talk) 13:26, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

The (now expired) range block was not related to those edits. There was a long-term vandal on the loose. Widr ( talk) 17:10, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, understood. Mikenorton ( talk) 17:32, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

Previously you blocked User talk:205.134.215.64 for one month for disruptive editing, it seems they continue to edit in the same fashion since the block has lapsed. Perhaps worth taking a look. Zenomonoz ( talk) 05:39, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

I appreciate you dealing with the user who egregiously personally attacked me. I would like to ask -- do you believe their sole other edit should also be rev-deleted? Given the racist contents of it, I would argue yes, but if you don't believe it needs to be removed, feel free to let me know. Once again, thank you. JeffSpaceman ( talk) 18:13, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

You reverted it, that's probably enough. I'm not a fan of excessive use of revdel. Widr ( talk) 18:54, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

OK, I was just wondering. Thank you for all that you do here. JeffSpaceman ( talk) 18:56, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

It's pretty clear that 122.3.0.0/16 is evading a six-month block elsewhere.   – Skywatcher68 ( talk) 14:34, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

And yearlong block here.   – Skywatcher68 ( talk) 14:41, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

And many others. So it doesn't make much of a difference if the block is for a day or a year. Widr ( talk) 14:46, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

Im new. I made a comment on a talk page here Talk:Death of Nex Benedict: Revision history - Wikipedia Which has been taken over (Serious forced speech) by 3 editors on Wikipedia. Quite simply, I stated

"This needs changed Let's be fair here, this child poured water on a group of girls in a bathroom. This is what started the fight that day in the bathroom. "Benedict told police they were beaten by three girls in the girls' restroom at Owasso High School in Owasso, Oklahoma. Benedict died the following day. " SHOULD read (To be 100% fair and impartial) Benedict told police, after pouring water on three girls, they were beaten in the girls' restroom at Owasso High School in Owasso, Oklahoma. Benedict died the following day. This is simply because as the article now reads, it is one sided, much as a democratic newspaper would be. We note the people that locked this page and have access to this page. Their own sexuality aligns with the way this article is written. Wikipedia used to be about facts. Used to be."

Which was immediately removed from the Talk page by an editor who describes herself on her twitch page as "Here to make you uncomfortable for being ciss"

She removed the Talk page addition I had made and posted this instead:

" →‎This needs changed: "b-but they threw water!" NOTFORUM much? undo Tags: Manual revert Reverted"

Which only states HER opinion, not actual facts, and the way she wrote it "b-but they threw water!" shows her emotional passive aggressiveness taking over and this is not what Wikipedia is about. This is not an opinion or politcal website, it is a factual fact website.

She has been blocked from editing multiple times before from other Admins.

While it is true, my edit may not be newsworthy, or you may consider it a forum post, the way the wording on the subject reads makes it seem that this person was beaten up for no reason at all, yet, this person publicly stated on police camera "Yea, I dumped water all over them, it was funny and I laughed at them, then they came for me and beat me up"

These are CLEARLY political edits made by these 3 wikipedia authors that all describe themself as "trans" for a political point, not a factual point.

Wikipedia was started as a collection of facts, not a collection of political speaking points. Please come see this, the abuse by these 3 editors will continue I am quite sure. 2601:983:4600:6832:0:0:0:95 ( talk) 11:23, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

Please revoke IP's TPA. Thanks! Hide on Rosé ( thảo luận | đóng góp | trung ương) 13:15, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I have been contacting editors with experience in specific areas of editing to participate in a survey study. In order to limit access without forcing editors to disclose their identity in the survey form itself, I have been contacting them via email, which you have disabled for your account. If you would like to participate, please send me an email through Wikipedia and I will follow up with additional details and a link to the survey.

Hi, could you move This ID you recently blocked to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Fox931711. This is the same person. Thanks. - Fylindfotberserk ( talk) 18:17, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

And kindly delete their edit summaries. Thanks. - Fylindfotberserk ( talk) 18:19, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

Just came here to ask for those attacks to be revdelled. I requested as such in my AIV report but I think it got archived too quickly. City of Silver 18:33, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi Widr, I found 2a02:c7c::/32's block settings interesting enough to start a discussion about it; it's at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard § 2a02:c7c::/32 and your input would be welcome. I'm notifying everyone whose name appears in the block log as this is practically a review of a series of admin actions yours was a part of. I hope that, due to the amount of administrators who built the block to the current state, discussing this in a central location directly rather than asking everyone for input on their own talk page is okay. And perhaps there was a past discussion and this is completely unnecessary silliness of me; I apologize in advance if that's the case. Best regards, ~ ToBeFree ( talk) 00:12, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Happy adminship anniversary! Hi Widr! On behalf of the Birthday Committee, I'd like to wish you a very happy anniversary of your successful request for adminship. Enjoy this special day! Robertus Pius ( Talk • Contribs) 00:38, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Happy adminship anniversary! Hi Widr! On behalf of the Birthday Committee, I'd like to wish you a very happy anniversary of your successful request for adminship. Enjoy this special day! The Herald (Benison) ( talk) 00:51, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I'm a French Wikipedian who translated an article from French to English : Draft:History of economic inequality. I've seen that you were an administrator, so I was pondering if you could check my draft in order to release it properly? Thanks in advance, yours, respectfully.

Hello I am coming to Wikipedia after so many days because I am getting some problems. Because of some reasons I have to use LAN and its range is shared and keeps on changing, its range is blocked and there may be several accounts on the range, because of this fear I stopped editing from many days. I cannot do anything for LAN. Please tell me a solution of this. ✠ ZenDragoX✠ (contact) 13:12, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

If there is no problem with this can I continue with this?

And if it creates problems then I will try to get to my old gadget back. ✠ ZenDragoX✠ (contact) 13:18, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

I just came across this proxy hard-block of yours. Could you please take another look at it? It (or at least the single IP I checked for an ACC request) doesn't seem to be a proxy. Best, — Mdaniels5757 ( talk •  contribs) 15:41, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

Ok, I changed it to anon-only. Widr ( talk) 16:27, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

Great, thanks! — Mdaniels5757 ( talk •  contribs) 16:43, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

For a reason unlisted, my IP has been blocked, but my account has not. Given your list of over 98,000 user blocks alone, I'm sure you have time to explain or revert this.

Kiihtu,
