Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IP's changing the age of the main character; although it's not a daily thing, it continually happens over time, and threatens the integrity of the article. This has been pointed out on the talk page, and is properly cited in the article. Grammarxxx (What'd I do this time?) 21:34, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite semi-protection: Pre-empting a BLP issue. Subject of article implicated in police inquiry. Article likely to attract a lot of edits and reverts due to current news activity. Suggest a semi protect to avoid ip activity as seen in the two Jimmy Saville pages - which are related to the current news interest. . isfutile:P (talk) 20:31, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. We typically don't preemptively protect articles, however in this case the vandalism has already started, so this is not preemption. ‑Scottywong| prattle _ 22:07, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected Reaper Eternal (talk) 14:41, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
How was this even remotely within policy? The grounds for requesting protection were completely spurious. There was no persistent vandalism, and indeed no vandalism at all. According to the protection policy, "semi-protection should not be used as a preemptive measure against vandalism that has not yet occurred" (emphasis in original), and furthermore "user pages and subpages are sometimes protected at the user's request if there is evidence of vandalism/disruption" (emphasis mine). The user had been forum-shopping their baseless request for protection here and to at least two different administrators; it had always been declined before so it mystifies me why it was granted now. —Psychonaut (talk) 14:53, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Declined I stand corrected. I was under the impression that userspace pages could be protected at the user's request regardless of any reason. I was also unaware of previous declines. (I suppose I should have known to check given the requester's other edits....) Reaper Eternal (talk) 15:17, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Wikipedia Workshop for Women in Mumbai/Participants (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Temporary semi-protection: Hi, this page lists various participants name, and was created just to make people aware that even they can edit pages. This was done as a part of the upcoming workshop in Mumbai, this weekend. Since, we can not occupy many at the venue, we have put the notice that registrations has been closed. Thus, would like to request semi protection till November 4. Thanks!. -- ♪Karthik♫ ♪Nadar♫ 08:47, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Declined - semiprotection generally isn't used for this sort of thing - rather than simply block their ability to edit the page, it would probably be better to put a notice about the situation in an obvious place and let people who sign up know about what is going on.

Gauri Ma (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – An IP editor (with a dynamic IP address) has been adding an external link in article body in two articles 1) Ramakrishna and 2) this one Gauri Ma. I reported it here Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive772#External_link_in_article_body where an admin added the link to XLinkBot which was not very helpful. Then I posted it in admin's talk page here. The admin protected the article for 3 months. In the other article (i.e. Gauri Ma) they are continuing addition of link in body. The admin is now inactive per talk page notice and contribution list.

Page protection or any other suggestion? The way they are continuously mentioning "Reference: example.com" I have a hunch the article may contain some copyvio portion. Tito Dutta (talk) 01:52, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. Edits appear to be a content dispute, and I don't see anyone trying to discuss on the talk page, or even using edit summaries. Open a discussion, and if IPs keep edit warring, then we'll protect on those grounds to force the conversation. Qwyrxian (talk) 01:05, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There have been no notices on this. JTBX has been warring on other pages (Shawshank Redemption and The Road), and it seems he alienates everyone. It is important to realize that all of his suggestions are judged on the merits, without exception. --Ring Cinema (talk) 17:24, 31 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fardeen Khan (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Full-protection: Someone from Islamabad, Pakistan[2], began removing specifically the mention of Afghan (Pathan/Pashtun) [3], which is properly sourced. Milescoast.wiki (talk · contribs) came and began removing Afghan/Pashtun cats [4] which was reverted. Then various IPs from Russia, Colombia, USA, and new a name (Neelkamala (talk · contribs)) began removing the same Afghan info in the same way as the previous blocked editor and Pakistani IP. [5], [6], [7], [8]

As for Afghan (Pathan), I provided these: [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15]

Including these:

Khan was born in Bangalore to an Afghan father and an Irani mother in 1939. He moved to Mumbai in 1959 and made his acting debut with Didi in 1960. His early years were full of struggle but the pathan got his due with Oonche Log, followed by Arzoo. He played second lead in both films and then in Aadmi Aur Insaan and Mela, co-starring bhai Sanjay.

— The Times of India, [16]

"Sanjay Khan's brother, Feroze Khan had gone to Afghanistan to shoot his film, Dharmatma. He told me that he had wanted to go back, but the situation was not inimical for the visit," he said. Their father came from Ghazni in Afghanistan, and settled in Bangalore where the Khan brothers were born. Feroze Khan went to Afghanistan to make his 1975 film, which was the first Indian movie to be shot in the starkly-landscaped country.

— Mid Day, [17]

Is it safe or not to add Indian people of Afghan descent? This person Fardeen Khan is one of a major Bollywood film actors, his family are all in Bollywood film industry and many, at least over a billion people watch their movies, people probably want to trace the origins of this family so I think it should be told.Chilum aw charrs (talk) 00:26, 3 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Eric Dill (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

The issue concerns the webpage of Eric Dill (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eric_Dill&redirect=no) . He meets the criteria for notability for musicians. However, noone wants to edit his page. In Wikipedia, it is written that users may request established Wikipedia users to edit the page. I would like to ask you to edit the abovementioned page.

I wrote thousands of words in the talk of Eric Dill - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Eric_Dill#Edit_request_on_2_November_2012. However, I have not received an answer.

Thank you very much for your understanding.

Semi-protection This is the 4th time a suspected sock user has edited the article putting in fictitious material and citing it with a fiction/fantasy book passing it off as a reliable source.

Timothy Dalton (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism in particular since July 2012. Anonymous editors primarily dispute Dalton's nationality and year of birth. These editors will not discuss their position on the article's talk page nor do they address the RS we cite. All Bond-related articles are now subject to a higher than usual amount of vandalism and erroneous edits. Given the length of time and the number of different anonymous editors, I ask that protection be granted for at least a month. Very few anonymous editors have contributed anything to the article, especially recently. Several experienced Bond-page wiki editors have accommodated genuine edit requests on other protected Bond-related pages. The page was last protected in 2009 for excessive vandalism. - Fanthrillers (talk) 22:18, 5 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Simon Wiesenthal (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary semi-protection: (second request) Apart from reverts, almost all the edits over the past two months have been IPs deleting the same text. Protection was originally declined on the grounds that it was a content dispute. However, The IP is using spurious reasons for deletion such as uncited, POV, claims are inuendos, claims are rejected by academics etc. The text in question has been in the article for several years and is in fact reliably sourced, supported by both primary and secondary sources and is also supported by academics such as Daniel Finkelstein. Even the Wiener Library has accepted the material as factual. The IP is in violation of WP:IJDLI, specifically the section Article content and WP:CENSOR. He has repeatedly been asked to use the Talk page but has so far not done so. Semi-protection may be the only way to force the IP to stop the deletions and use Talk to discuss his problems with the text. Wayne (talk) 08:22, 8 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

ZP Theart (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

It has been protected since 2009 due to many users "unredirecting" it even though the singer had no individual notability. Now that he has left DragonForce and started his own band, I think it is time to create his own article, as briefly discussed here.

Question: Do you have sources that can demonstrate ZP Theart passes WP:BIO or WP:MUSICBIO?

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – There's an ongoing news story here, along with a Facebook petition, protests, etc., including a recommendation that people come and start editing Wikipedia. We're just on the cusp of breaking into an edit war, and I think temporary full protection, forcing discussion on the article talk page will help steer new editors into a consensus-building discussion. Qwyrxian (talk) 02:12, 10 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Note: The edit war never really broke out, so I don't think full-protection is warranted just yet (although I can see things remain rather tense). I'll put the page on my watchlist. I won't be available for a few hours, however, so I'm leaving the request open in case the situation changes while I'm away. — Mr. Stradivarius (have a chat) 09:12, 10 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It hasn't broken out because I stopped reverting (though I should be, because the continuing changes are not really good), and because I already schooled 3 of the "older" (i.e., from 1 day ago) participants to not keep reverting...but we've had 2 new people show up since then, both going way into WP:UNDUE territory. If you want, I can force this into an edit warring situation...but somehow I think that that would be behavior inappropriate of an admin. But I will have to take action eventually to compel discussion, one way or the other. Qwyrxian (talk) 11:20, 10 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
And as further followup, a quite perusal of the last day's history clearly indicates a multi-pronged edit war. Protect the article, or block the involved editors, but please make the craziness stop. Qwyrxian (talk) 04:38, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring. SMS Talk 21:48, 10 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Declined. There appears to be problems with both this article and Saraikistan. One of the key elements of the problem is an IP who is warring in both articles, pushing a particular point of view without collaboration or discussion. Therefore, I have warned the IP that any further disruption will be met with a block. Even if the IP is removed from the equation, there may be more that needs to be done to prevent disruption to these articles, but this is a first step.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:13, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Vital articles (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Indefinite full protection: Since all additions or subtractions need to be discussed and a consensus reached before changes are made, there's really no reason for "anyone can edit" to apply to the page itself. It goes without saying that implementing this would require one or more admins to read the discussions on the talk page (which would remain unprotected) from time to time pbp 17:45, 13 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fully protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. This isn't an administrative page, so indef full seems like overkill. I don't see why admins should have the burden of modifying that page whenever it needs modifying. I protected it to stop a recent content dispute. When the protection expires, it can always be re-protected for a longer period. ~Amatulić (talk) 21:25, 13 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Facundo Argüello (tennis) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Completely unprotect for editing, retain protection against moving. This ridiculously tiny stub cites at least 7 sources that can be mined for material to expand the article, but no one can expand it, because someone totally locked the article down. It was subject to move-warring and other edit-warring, but an RfC on the talk page concluded in favor of keeping the diacritics, so that is that. The protection isn't even templated, it's just "still there" for no reason. I suspect that the one or two anti-diacritics campaigners who watch that page may try to move it again, so move protection might still be in order, but the page has to be editable. — SMcCandlish   Talk⇒ ɖ∘¿¤þ   Contrib. 02:01, 13 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I've asked Joe Decker, the protecting admin, to have a look, as it was only protected a week ago. I also see the protection is going to expire in nine and a half hours, so it might be best to just come back to it tomorrow. I agree that move protection is a good idea. — Mr. Stradivarius (have a chat) 10:01, 13 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I would have actually asked for a protection extension and no page move restrictions as there have been no page moves in quite a long while. But Joe Decker probably knows best and has the call on this one. Fyunck(click) (talk) 10:30, 13 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Move protected I've extended the move protection, but have withdrawn the edit protection. An RfC on the question at the core of the edit war failed to find consensus (at least someone finally closed that RfC), TENNISNAMES doesn't cover the textual wording being applied, and edits on the article should now be made with respect to local consensus, or a less local consensus should be found. I'm not optimistic that this won't end up back here, or at AN or EW, but there aren't any great options here. --j⚛e deckertalk 17:44, 13 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A use Jon C. has repeatedly deleted my edits to this post, and now another on a related topic, Japanese-Jewish Common Ancestor Theory, at: Japanese-Jewish_Common_Ancestor_Theory

I have sent him a message to his talk page, which he has "moved to the appropriate talk page", but where that is I don't know, because it doesn't show up on my talk page, and he has not sent me a message.

As far as I can tell, there is no justification for his posts, so I assume that he may be a Freemason or Jewish, as those would appear to be the only two affinity groups that would have an emotional attachment to the topics.

Please refer to the talk page messages I have sent to him and to another person, Jayjg — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ubikwit (talk • contribs) 13:40, 13 November 2012

On Bitcoin the caption on the sticker-side image of a Casascius coin reads as follows:

However, this is incorrect because only the public key is exposed, and I can only imagine that 'redeemable key' is meant to refer to the private key. So I suggest it read as:

Income tax in India (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Semi-protection: An indefinite semi-protection is ideal since only a tax professional like a Chartered Accountant can do justice with the article. There has been edits by ip's (not vandal edits) but these have compromised the factual accuracy of the article due to general misconceptions in the public who do not fully know the provisions & sections. As can be seen from the edit history of the article, I have undid a couple of such edits by giving reason therein. I am the only one expanding/updating the article, I can say from my knowledge that it would be in the interest for the readers to get this article protected. Harsh (talk) 13:18, 17 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

(Non-administrator comment) Two issues, this is a content dispute so not sure semi-protection would be any good given most edits are good faith in nature like you say. Second though I'm unclear on the accepted way "income tax in (country)" articles are done there seems to be a lot of out of scope information on the page that needs removing. tutterMouse (talk) 13:47, 17 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary Semi-Protection A non-registered user has been vandalizing this article, which is the bio of a living person, by making the currently false statement that Tedford has been fired as Cal's head football coach. The vandal has also added opinion rant type material, which I have reverted. Tedford's contract situation will probably be resolved within a few days. The article is currently (if temporarily) in good shape, with the vandalism removed, so I think that the best course of action would be to lock down the article for a few days, until there is a verifiable change in the real-world situation. Since this is a bio of a living person, I think the matter should be regarded as relatively important. Pechmerle (talk) 09:25, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Non-admin comment. I've already left a 3RR warning at the vandal's talk page, and will report him to WP:AN3 if he reverts again (he's only made two straight reverts so far, but he had two quasi-reverts before, so I'm going to apply the spirit of WP:3RR, as well as the non-3RR edit war policy). Unless other users start adding untrue/POV information (or vandalism in general), I see no reason to prevent editors from improving the article for the sake of one offender who'll presumably be blocked if he reverts again. — Francophonie&Androphilie (Je vous invite à me parler) 09:41, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

User:James086 (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) and User:Francophonie&Androphilie (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Temporary semi-protection. As you can see here, James's user page has been hit with vandalism (generally personal attacks) from 6 IPs so far (all now blocked), apparently run by the same puppetmaster. A triple threat of high volume, high incivility, and, given that it's a user page, essentially no reason that IPs need be able edit it. While the vandal's hit his talk page in the past, he's done it far less extensively than to the mainpage, and since James is an admin who deals with IPs fairly frequently on RCP, I think it would be best to hold off on protecting the talk page, and seeing if the vandal moves there or not. As for my page, the vandal only hit it twice (also personal attacks, though they just made me laugh - please don't suppress the revisions!), but since no one else has any need to edit it, and since it might be their first target when they see that James's page is protected, I'd request a fairly short-term semi-protection - probably no more than a few hours, just to head off a potential immediate response.

Depending how determined this vandal is, this could go a lot of different ways from here on out, so unless they tire themselves out, there's a good chance this won't be the last request made on the matter. (There've been no vandalisms on my page or James's for about 20 minutes, but after the first wave of IPs got blocked, it was about 30 minutes until the second - changing proxies, perhaps?) — Francophonie&Androphilie (Je vous invite à me parler) 14:26, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: I believe the protection duration of this article should be reduced. I do know that it has been a target of persistent vandalism in the past (due to the fact that the subject was in the media more), so much so that the last protection was beefed up to a year. However, the current onslaught of vandalism is due to an event that occurred on November 17 (Cole deleting his Tumblr, to much controversy). I believe that this event will roll over in an amount of time much shorter than the current year-long protection (maybe in a month or so at most?), after which point the protection will mostly serve to deter good faith IP/new editors, IMO. - Purplewowies (talk) 05:19, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Already protected. by another admin. —GFOLEY FOUR!— 06:01, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Okay. Fine. Where should I discuss/request something like this, since this doesn't seem to be the right venue? (To clarify, I knew the article was protected already, but I was asking about changing its duration.) - Purplewowies (talk) 08:07, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I can understand the want for the protection to be shorter but it's had two year long protections prior to this one and I'm surprised this article wasn't protected indefinitely given the long protection history due to vandalism. Though the controversy will die down soon, there's still several underlying and persistent issues which would make a reduction pointless as it usually is protected within a few months of a semi-prot expiring. tutterMouse (talk) 09:35, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Cuerpo de Bomberos de Puerto Rico (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Move protection: The page has been moved twice in the last 4 days. Both moves were controversial, but for the first move (November 15 at 22:26 and 22:26) it was neither entered into the Requests for Controversial Moves listing, nor opened for discussion in the article's Talk page, nor explained via the edit summary field (field was left blank). Subsequent to this I moved the page back to its original title, Cuerpo de Bomberos de Puerto Rico, with the help of an administrator via a request at Requests for Technical Moves (HERE and HERE). Then the page was moved again today (November 19 at 13:26). This second move also ignored listing it at the RCM page as well as opening a discussion at the article's Talk page; it did have an edit summary stating "naming conventions". But actually, per Naming Conventions (at WP:TITLE), the page title should follow the most prevalent use in reliable English-language sources. According to Google Scholar (17 to 1), Google News (1 to 0), and Google Search (164,000 to 2,390), the name "Cuerpo de Bomberos de Puerto Rico" is vastly more prevalent in the reliable English language literature than the name it was moved to (Puerto Rico Fire Corps). In any event, the move had already been stated to be controversial and the editor doing the move should have followed protocol by opening up the intended move for discussion and consensus. I request the page be move-protected, at least until that time when the editors can all come together and discuss the matter rather than moving the page without seeking consensus.

I want to say that I think Godzilladude123 is making too much of recent edits to the article. In fact, I did some recent cleanup to the article to remove a hefty chunk of original research, fancruft, and non-notable info as well as some layout that he has reverted. Not much editing has actually occurred in the article in recent weeks, if you view the article history. You can argue that there's disagreement about content, but I see no reason for page protection. WesleyDodds (talk) 06:37, 20 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It's (almost) a content dispute, not an issue that semi-protection would resolve. I'd advise taking it to the talkpage to hammer things out rather than continual reverting.

Temporary semiprotection Duration probably 2 weeks. Shorter would be less effective.

Comment: The IP edits all originate from Singapore, understandably as it has touch some raw nerves there. Attempts to engage the IP editors by asking them to refer to TALK in the edit summaries are of limited help, as they do not seem to understand WP:NOTNEWSPAPER, [WP:NOTSOAPBOX]] and in their insistence to add the content to the intro rather than another section, possibly WP:MOS as well.

Question for other admins: could this be a candidate for indefinite semi-protection? If this was an article I'd decline the request as not enough disruptive activity to warrant protection. Also, it only has four transclusions, only two of which are in article space. However, it is transcluded on United Kingdom, which is indefinitely semi-protected. Would this count as being "high-visibility"? I'm not confident enough of that to protect it just now, although I personally think protection would be a good idea. — Mr. Stradivarius (have a chat) 10:26, 22 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Unprotection: Page has been indef semi-protected for probably a year and a half (most of its life). It used to get a lot of vandalism but hasn't recently. The article has also improved significantly since it was protected so it is no longer as attractive to POV pushers and vandals. It also has more watchers than it did before.

Ministro Pistarini International Airport (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Full Protection - I don't know if this is the right place to put this. The article was semi-protected but now I am requesting to change the protection level to "full protection" since registered users are now adding the unsourced content (not only IPs). Thanks! Snoozlepet (talk) 05:22, 21 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not likely, there's only been two incidences of unsourced content being reverted by yourself since the semi-protection began and they're not exactly bad faith in nature so locking down the article simply to prevent what isn't vandalism feels like overkill. Full protection is pretty much a last resort sort of scenario, might want to just revert as necessary. tutterMouse (talk) 09:19, 21 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Declined Sorry, but I'm not clear what you're asking for; I can protect the article to prevent it being recreated, but it's only existed twice so that's not enough and seems counter to what you seem to be asking for. The article's already been deleted following an AfD decision.

Anastacia (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Edit war where both parties appear to be editing in good faith, and have not violated 3RR. User:Anastacia599 has repeatedly attempted to insert a poorly written, though not entirely useless revision; User:46.7.175.108 has erroneously labeled them as vandalism, and has said in two edit summaries "you're not winning" - a WP:OWN and WP:EW violation. Anastacia599 is autoconfirmed, so I think that, instead of taking two good-faith editors to AN3, it would be better to lock this page down for a few days until these two can cool down; I'm giving both of them edit-warring warnings. (No other editors have made any major contributions in some time.). — Francophonie&Androphilie (Je vous invite à me parler) 04:05, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's basically one person with lots of IP addresses who's editwarring with several registered users, and the registered users are the ones in the right. AN3 only really works when all participants are static IPs or registered users, while since you can't effectively block a dynamic IP, the only real option is semiprotection.

2013 Formula One season (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary semi-protection: This weekend marks the final round of the 2012 season, which will decide the outcome of the 2012 championship. Based on previous years, this will trigger a series of edits to the 2013 season page, mostly to the team and driver table, rearranging content based on championship finishing position. There have already been two edits in the past six hours that foreshadow what will happen. As per long-standing consensus obtained at the Formula 1 WikiProject, we do not update this table with car numbers or championship finishing positions until the publication of the final 2013 entry list, which won't come until mid-January. Therefore, I'm requesting temporary semi-protection for one week to stabilise the page in light of the upcoming championship=deciding round.

Friction (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Pending-edits protection: Looking at edits in the month of November 2012, the majority (barring two constructive IP edits: first — second — apparent test edit) of edits by unregistered users have been reverted as vandalism during this period of time, which also constitutes the majority of edits to the page. Also appears to apply to October 2012, but I have not looked carefully at that. I can understand why 'friction' would attract adolescent editors as a vandalism target. (I am an admin but wanted to request this protection rather than impose it.) --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 15:45, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. There are 146 watchers and 32 editors with >10 edits, meaning that pending edits would not have to wait long for approval, just as vandalism is currently being reverted quickly. Editors include 2 bots and 8 anonymous editors. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 16:58, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: BLP policy violations – IP Address 74.73.71.13 had made several defamatory edits to this article based on legal action that appears to be ongoing. The IP made assertions on my talk page that they would re-add the content when the relevant court documents were online. The IP clearly has a COI issue here and in my opinion, is directly involved in the legal proceedings. The IP took this issue to DR/N but the discussion was closed as the request was malformed. I reported the IP at AIV but no action was taken - even though this is a BLP issue. I request temporary semi-protection in order to keep this article BLP compliant.

In the past month Talk:Bitcoin has been semi-protected 3 times to deal with vandalism from indefinitely blocked user HowardStrong (talk · contribs), who was using proxies and multiple local IP addresses to vandalize the page. The semi-protection expired on 22 November, but it looks like the activity is continuing now, with the IP address removing several discussed URLs and refactoring the edits of other editors. The IP address currently disrupting the talk page appears to be a proxy, which fits the MO of other sockpuppets of HowardStrong. - SudoGhost 08:51, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

2012 Formula One season (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary semi-protection. This one is a bit hard to explain, but I'll be as succinct as I can: right now, there has been a wave of media reports claiming that the results of the final race of the season could be called into question on a technicality. Owing to certain circumstances, this has the potential to change the final championship standings and a new champion declared. There has been no official word, but discussions across the internet have demonstrated that this is a very controversial issue already, with the potential for multiple interpretations of the events. I have since made an edit to the page (and made it invisible) so that there is content there in the event something does come of it (and which can be removed quickly and quietly if nothing does), but in the meantime, I would like to request temporary semi-protection to avoid unsubstantiated, unreferenced and flagrantly biased edits such as this one from being made.

Temporary semi-protection: Significant amount of IP vandalism and content dispute/edit warring leading up to the vote for the Heisman Trophy on 08 December 2012. It seems the page may have been mistakenly fully protected instead of semi-protected by Yunshui on 28 Novermber 2012 to stop the edit warring. It seems semi-protection should have been applied based on the following guideline for semi-protection -- Subject to significant but temporary vandalism or disruption (for example, due to media attention) when blocking individual users is not a feasible option. Manziel is receiving tremendous media attention at the moment because he is the leading Heisman candidate in the polls as a freshman, and voters will be casting their ballots this week and next. Consequently, his article has experienced a spike in disruptive editing (vandalism and section deleting) from anonymous users. I request full protection be removed and semi-protection applied until after the Heisman trophy awards on 08 December 2012, at which point the page would revert to unprotected. --BroJohnE (talk) 05:14, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Checking the protection logs, I see that the last two times Mayflower Compact was protected for a year each time, and expired just in time for the lead-up to Thanksgiving. Haven't seen any IP edits that have not been disruptive. Mayflower's last protection expired a year ago, and the past year has seen more disruptive edits than meaningful ones by a large margin.

Mayoralty in Puerto Rico (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary full-protection: avoid WP:EDIT WAR. User:Ahnoneemoos made significant changes to the article per WP:BEBOLD and WP:AGF but User:Mercy11 is reverting the whole article to a previous state rather than discussing his reverts because he deems the changes as "diminishing" and "bad"—a highly subjective assessment and a POV. WP:EDIT WAR ensued. Requesting temporary full protection until a discussion develops that warrants full revert. —Ahnoneemoos (talk) 15:45, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting, how the user is requesting a protection but only to a state that is convenient to him. I invite the reviewing admin to check out the change log of the article and also its Talk Page to see who initiated the edit war (it should be clear this was Ahnoneemoos) and who started the Talk Page invitation/discussion (it should be clear Mercy11 did). My invistation was immediately followed -- not by discussion -- but by an immediate revert of my edits and by this immediate request for protection by Ahnoneemoos.
So yes, I support that the article be protected, but only to the state that that it was before Ahnoneemoos stated the edit war. Before making significant changes to the article Ahnoneemoos should have dissuced it, but in the absence of initial discussion, he should had discussed it subsequant to my show of controversy. The article was an otherwise stable article, that is it should be reverted to the 01:58, 26 August 2012 version by Thief12 [53] prior to an administrative lock. For behavior like that of Ahnoneemoos here, where he kickoffs an edit war and then portrait yourself as a victim before Admins, should not be rewarded except if the editor has followed Wikipedia established protocols, which he did not. Thanks. My name is Mercy11 (talk) 16:33, 29 November 2012 (UTC), and I approve this message.[reply]
Actually if you look at User talk:Mercy11 you will realize that I was the one that began the process of WP:DISPUTERESOLUTION by posting a message on his talk page. Unfortunately, User:Mercy11 reverted my edits once again simply because he beleived them to be "diminishing", "bad", and "negative"—whatever that means since it's just a personal opinion and a subjective matter. Considering that my edits were based on WP:GOODFAITH and per WP:BEBOLD, and considering the fact that User:Mercy11 did not show any desire to discuss this matter, I decided to request this protection, in order to avoid an WP:EDITWAR. I have no problems when people revert back because of mistakes, but when it's based on an opinion, and when they are reverting the whole thing, well that's different. —Ahnoneemoos (talk) 17:33, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
