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?
Thanks for super-quick response to the Telstra-vandal! Much appreciated, both your (and your fellow admins) work here, Thanks! Huldra (talk) 12:28, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

"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 ourneighborhood, 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)
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)

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|talk18:41, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
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|talk20:15, 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|talk20:19, 29 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)
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[thɔk][kantʃɻɪbz]03:30, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
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)
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)
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)
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)
You couldn't be bothered to delete the personal attack either. How many more times do I have to be told FU[2]?...William, is the complaint department really on the roof?14:35, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

168.170.198.20(talk·contribs·WHOIS) its a school that has been blocked before and is making some unconstructive edits, it has been blocked in the past. It has only made 2 disruptive edits so far today but I have a feeling it will probably get worse. Thanks! --Cameron11598(Talk)18:42, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
