Dayco

Hi Widr, please xplian better why you removed all contents on Dayco page. I'm a Dayco authorized employee to post all lregarding this company.

Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by ER.Digital (talk • contribs) 21:58, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

Nearly all content in that article was a word-to-word copyright violation taken from the company's website. This is not acceptable. Also note that Wikipedia is not a vehicle meant to promote your company, and since you have a conflict of interest, it would be best that you do not edit the article at all. You can make suggestions on the article's talk page, but all the advertising and copyright violating material will have to be removed. Widr (talk) 04:45, 25 May 2016 (UTC)

Widr, I can not violate a copyright if I'm also the site owner on the original company website! Also all images are handled by me on teh corporate website for Dayco. I'm the webmaster and manager for web for Dayco. we are not promoting our company, just showing what we do and what did Dayco on teh story! there are many other company doing same on wikipedia. please explain the difference. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ER.Digital (talk • contribs) 17:46, 25 May 2016 (UTC)

Please read all the messages posted on your talk page, about conflict of interest and about copyrights. If subjects are notable, people without conflict of interest will write about them. You should also understand what Wikipedia is not. Widr (talk) 17:58, 25 May 2016 (UTC)

Widr, are you able to answer to my question "there are many other company doing same on wikipedia. please explain the difference.", or not? are you able also to help on how I can contribute on a right way to add contents on Dayco page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by ER.Digital (talk • contribs) 18:04, 25 May 2016 (UTC)

No, since you do not tell me what are those many other companies who so unambiguously misuse Wikipedia. I already wrote above that you can make suggestions on the article's talk page, but all the advertising and copyright violating material will have to be removed. Please spend some time reading the links provided to you. Widr (talk) 18:11, 25 May 2016 (UTC)

Widr, let me add also that is not a promotion since we are not selling products from our websites and we don't have an ecomerce service. Be manufacturing company is little bit different from be a commercial company.

Hi,

I went ahead and applied WP:BLOWITUP on Dayco, could you revdel your last edit to the page, as that still has copyvio text from the dayco homepage?

Cheers, Tazerdadog (talk) 19:46, 25 May 2016 (UTC)

Done. Thanks, good job. Widr (talk) 19:52, 25 May 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Giubbotto non ortodosso

I suspect Special:Contributions/82.51.177.233 is also the same person, since that IP can be traced back to Italy. And User:Bjork138 is an older account which looks very much like a sock, same as Drake and Nicki Minaj.115.164.215.136 (talk) 10:41, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

Why am I related to this? I have no idea where you are talking about and I am not from Italy... Bjork138 (talk) 10:53, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

Thanks..

"Happy Memorial Day weekend," as the unthoughtful say in the U.S....

		The Barnstar of Diligence
		Widr has a jillion barnstars for anti-vandalism, so I commend him with a different graphic idiom for his attention to detail and elimination of juvenilia. Diligence is the hallmark of anti-vandalism! Julietdeltalima (talk) 22:17, 27 May 2016 (UTC)

And I am happy to have gotten to know you during our parallel anti-vandalism hours. If you ever find yourself in our neighborhood, sir, non-Wikipedian "Alphadeltafoxtrot" and I extend you an open invitation to our anti-polar home facilities. Good summer! Julietdeltalima (talk) 22:17, 27 May 2016 (UTC)

Thank you! Will keep your invitation in mind. And I do wish we had this holiday in Finland too, as extended weekend would be very much welcomed... Widr (talk) 22:28, 27 May 2016 (UTC)

Whoops!

Hi Widr! I accidentally restored the "unblock request" you removed. Please accept my apologies and feel free to take it down. Cheers -- ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 01:44, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

Oh, and thanks for reverting the vandalism on my talk page! :-D ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 01:45, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

I'm considering protecting your talk page for a while, even if you might disagree. ;-) Widr (talk) 01:47, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

HA! Well if it does ever get to the point where it's necessary, by all means... you know that you don't need my permission to do what's needed. Cheers, my friend! :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 15:01, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

AIV Advice

Hello again . . . what would you do with the this ip user? Appears to have many only or >90 percent vandalism edits, every day for the last five days, but hasn't been active for about eight hours? Would you nominate for a block? Or wait til active again? Trying to learn the craft . . . thanks! Chris vLS (talk) 00:56, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

Ha! Confused which times are displayed in UTC and Local . . . was active 20 mins ago or so, not eight hours. Referred to AIV. Thanks! Chris vLS (talk) 01:05, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	The Admin's Barnstar
	Oh look, it's yet another barnstar for Widr! I swear you've already proved yourself as one of the most useful admins in counter-vandalism due to the rapid speed that you dish out blocks. There really is no AIV backlog with you around. Keep up the amazing work! NottNott|talk 18:41, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

Thanks again! Widr (talk) 18:43, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

Regarding 50.82.14.181

This user just came back from a year-long block to get 'vengence' as described on his talk page, a six month block is too short. Just a heads up. NottNott|talk 20:15, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

No, previous was 3 months. Now it's six months and talk page access revoked. Widr (talk) 20:17, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

"been over almost an year since I never got to edit" from user themself. Really should have just checked the block log instead. NottNott|talk 20:19, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

Talk page access

This nice gentleman should have it removed ;-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 22:46, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

Compromised account?

Dear Widr,

Could it be possible that this User:Enterprisey account is compromised by this User:EnterShip? Further, recently User:EnterShip has asked for the rollback right, which was denied See here, but according to his Userbox he already has the right! Can you check it out? Thanks.--Mona778 (talk) 02:37, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

I don't believe I've been compromised, but I'll change my password now anyway. Enterprisey (talk!) _{(formerly APerson)} 02:40, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

Having the userbox doesn't necessarily mean they actually have the right. Anyone can add the userbox to their userpage; I could add an "I'm an admin" userbox to my userpage right now. Also, what makes you think the account has been compromised? —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 02:52, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

I'm curious about that myself. Enterprisey (talk!) _{(formerly APerson)} 03:02, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

They probaly saw Enterprisey when they clicked the verify, cause it was the next rollbacker. Either way, sockpuppets of User:AdnanAhmadSiddiqui nuked. -- Amanda (aka DQ) 03:37, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

Scroll to bottom of the page, then click on show barnstars, next click on rollback icon (verify).--Mona778 (talk) 03:41, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

Pending changes rationale at The Fearless Four (film)

Hi Widr. I recently marked this pending revision of The Fearless Four (film) as accepted. I looked at the rationale for the pending changes protection and it said "persistent disruptive editting" and nothing about the revision looked outwardly disruptive. I went in to make a small edit afterwards and noticed that the change I accepted was actually the same one that got the page protected in the first place!

Anyway, this is a long winded way of asking could you update the rationale to be more clear for reviewers? Something like "removal of formatting from template" so it's apparent what the disruption is since it's not outwardly apparent. If that's not possible or would be too much work, it's fine, but thought I'd ask. Thanks! Wugapodes [t^hɔk] [kantʃɻɪbz] 03:30, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

It's one of the standard rationales. I see no reason to change it at this point. Widr (talk) 06:09, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

Thanks

Hello, Widr. Thanks for your help with 86.164.106.79 and the other one last week. All the best. Jack | ^{talk page} 14:20, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

Adını Feriha Koydum

Dear Widr,

The page has been vandalized by the user, who, despite the warning given is continuing his/her disruptive editing. Can you please intervene and if you find it necessary protect the page? Regards.--Mona778 (talk) 16:04, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

Looks like test edits so far. I wouldn't protect the article just yet. Widr (talk) 16:16, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

Will you restore the edit prior to those tests? Mona778 (talk) 16:27, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

You're great! Thank you.--Mona778 (talk) 17:07, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

The user has reverted your edit!--Mona778 (talk) 18:00, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

Yes, I noticed. I gave them a final warning now. Widr (talk) 18:38, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

Well, I hope they heed the call and the block won't be necessary, because personally I don't want to see anyone gets blocked. Good night.--Mona778 (talk) 21:33, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

Problem with shared IP address

Hello sir? Could you please check my talk page, i was just checking wikipedia for some information and i got several different messages involving some argument that you had with some other user. I myself have never edited anything on wikipedia so i think this is, like you said, shared IP address problem.93.143.200.250 (talk) 08:02, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

Yes. Creating your own account will help. Widr (talk) 08:07, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

My talk page is being vandalized again.

The IP is blocked but he has hopped to another location. He's been blocked twice, and that hasn't worked. Temporary protection for my page hasn't worked either. Can you indefinitely protect it?...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 14:20, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

I blocked the IP and semiprotected your talk page for 3 days. We don't protect indefinitely, because unregistered users might have legimate reasons to contact you as well. Widr (talk) 14:27, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

A 3 day block is a joke. This is the same IP who is currently blocked for a month[1] for doing the same things. He's going to be back. Show me where it says no indefinites for talk pages? I want to see it or I'll take this to ANI....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 14:30, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
