Fast, faster, fastest

The Defender of the Wiki Barnstar
Because you respond to reports at WP:AIV with lightning speed. That keeps this vandal fighter motivated. Thanks. Yintan  08:34, 22 September 2016 (UTC)

Thanks! Widr (talk) 09:04, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
Yeah it's pretty cool I must say- put one in the other day that was 🚫 the same minute :D. Muffled 09:14, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
Well, it happens. When I'm around, I'm around. ;-) Widr (talk) 09:16, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
You can say that again. Yintan  09:28, 22 September 2016 (UTC)

This is not a race. If you rush quickly through backlogs and noticeboards, you are likely to make mistakes. I have seen you make at least 2-3 questionable blocks that I felt were puntitive, and despite pinging you to the discussions, you have failed to respond and justify your actions. Slow down and think about what you are doing, and remember that a real person is going to read your block message. The next time this happens, there will be a thread at ANI.

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Syed Mohi uddin Ahmad Al- Hasani Wal Hussaini Ajmeri

Hi Widr. I had messaged the deleting admin but I have not received a reply. I had voted for Speedy delete at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Syed Mohi uddin Ahmad Al- Hasani Wal Hussaini Ajmeri as per A7 and G4, and then tagging it for csd shortly after. After the article had been speedily deleted, I decided to close the deletion discussion as per CSD; however I read WP:BADNAC and I wonder if my closure was inappropriate because I participated in the discussion, although my closure reason is completely uncontroversial (A7 and G4, also performed by an admin) and is backed by policy. However, if due to BADNAC, if my closure was inappropriate, please do assist to re-close the discussion. Thanks, Optakeover 13:18, 26 September 2016 (UTC)

This is not my area of expertise, so I suggest you wait until the deleting admin replies or ask another admin. Sorry. Widr (talk) 15:22, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
(talk page stalker) A CSD NAC is fine in this instance. Ritchie333 18:04, 26 September 2016 (UTC)

Vandalism blocks

Hi Widr,

It looks like Ritchie333 (talk · contribs) changed a lot of the block durations that you had originally set. I just wanted to let you know of this just in case if you wanted to change them back to how you originally had them, and/or if you wanted to discuss this with them. Thanks! 2607:FB90:A452:9E80:0:3F:C908:DA01 (talk) 15:50, 26 September 2016 (UTC)

Just report again to AIV when vandalism resumes. Widr (talk) 15:52, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
I don't recall changing any block durations, I am am twitchy about altering any blocks without consensus of the blocking admin. What it might be is sometimes you can get the admin equivalent of an edit conflict, and one block setting can clobber the other in a mid-air conflict. That could be what it is. Ritchie333 16:03, 26 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi Widr!

I just wanted to leave you a message and tell you, "good morning"! :-) ~Oshwah~ 07:32, 27 September 2016 (UTC)

Haha, good morning to you too! Widr (talk) 07:34, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
Hope your day is going well. It's always a pleasure to run into you :-) ~Oshwah~ 07:40, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
At work now and all is well. Hope you are fine too. It's a pleasure indeed to bump into you in the battlefields. ;-) Widr (talk) 07:46, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
I'm not in the office yet, but I will be in a few hours. Indeed I am doing well. The mop so far is treating me fine, as expected... other than that, just doing my normal thing ;-) ~Oshwah~ 07:52, 27 September 2016 (UTC)

Regarding your most recent block

See similar ones at UAA. Dat GuyContribs 18:32, 27 September 2016 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Oh it's that guy (pun intended!) again RickinBaltimore (talk) 18:32, 27 September 2016 (UTC)

At least it's not dat boi. clpo13(talk) 18:36, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
I did. I think these should be reported to AIV, for quicker response. Widr (talk) 18:34, 27 September 2016 (UTC)

Bullsfan103 sock

Mind blocking bullsfan103 for president? He just vandalized my talk page for reporting him at SPI. Joel.Miles925 (talk) 19:36, 27 September 2016 (UTC)

Your talk page? I don't see anything. Widr (talk) 19:52, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
Check the abuselog. Joel.Miles925 (talk) 19:56, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
Seems that all has been taken care of for now. Widr (talk) 19:59, 27 September 2016 (UTC)

New articles on software licenses

There are over dozens of new (but duplicated) articles on software licenses - do you know if it's a class project misplaced onto main space? It seems a bit random for all of them to show up at once. I couldn't see any wiki education notice on the accounts.--Cahk (talk) 07:35, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
