Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Indefinite semi-protection: IPs and new editors have been messing with the page layout, which really bugs AnomieBOT, who maintains the page. I can't really see a reason for a non-autoconfirmed editor to request bot approval, either. Theopolisme (talk) 17:00, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

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

Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Attempted improvements to article seem to face a brickwall with a user who seems to exude "ownership" over this article and has no sense of compromise or conversation that does not appeal to their own sense of what it ought to be. The introduction needs to be broken into two parts and the second (and overly-long) paragraph is not an introduction to the article's content but subject matter on its own and ought to be in an appropriate headed section. JesseRafe (talk) 14:13, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The thing is that this article relates to a very prestigious Music Award that's only the Major Pop, R&B and Rock artists gained it... So I do suggest a longtime semi-protection would be very needed as its been badly edited Fidel 14:31, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

Wikipedia:VisualEditor (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Full Protection' This page is currently being linked by an advertisement posted at the top of all Wikipedia pages. It was recently edited into a spam article. Such a high traffic page that virtually all visitors are likely to see should have some measure of protection applied to it. Banaticus (talk) 19:03, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is that to sign up for the Visual Editor newsletter you have to edit the page. I'm very hesitant to fully protect it, since that would stop people from signing up. I'm not sure if semi-protection would be advisable, since there is a good reason for new users to be editing it, although they're a small portion of the newsletter signups at this point. Thoughts, anyone? Mark Arsten (talk) 19:35, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
(Non-administrator comment)I don't see much vandalism given the level of activity, and I don't think a page linked by something highly visible deserves protection the same way a page transcluded by something does. Jackmcbarn (talk) 19:56, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite Semi-protection: Vandalism of article by 66.65.113.75 - changing name of park to false name w/out source just to annoy San Franciscans. IP lookout shows individual from same area as 173.63.176.93(sockpuppet of blocked user Thmc1) who keeps vandalizing "Chinatown, Manhattan", "Chinatown", "Chinatowns in the United States" and "London". Log of 66.65.13.75 shows edit of only 5 articles, but 3 of these articles(Dolores Park, Kate Murray and White Plains, NY") match those edited by 173.63.176.96/Thmc1/ and his other sockpuppets.

This is just another effort to preserve content in this article that has been challenged as unsourced and deleted. User:Dwaipayanc has edit warred to preserve a ton of problematic material, in direct violation of Wikipedia policy, and then this user recruited another editor to continue the edit war in his/her absence. This second editor then continued the edit war. Who is this second editor? None other than the person who has requested page protection. No effort has been made by User:Dwaipayanc to source the material. This user just keeps adding it back, in full with absolutely no sources. You can see the diffs here on User:Dwaipayanc's talk page: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ADwaipayanc&action=historysubmit&diff=568172202&oldid=568168195 AfricaTanz (talk) 06:30, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Well, in the talk page of the article, I already stated that yes, there are many statements in the article needing references. Lets tag those with citation needed, then give a reasonable time for those to be addressed, and then if not addressed, lets get those deleted. That's a reasonable approach for non-BLP articles, and statements that are not blatant hoax or vandalism. But AfricaTanz did not like that approach. Even though we mentioned WP:V and WP:PRESERVE and WP:BRD, he continues to repeatedly remove material (well, in hindsight, some of those material do need to be removed, but obviously not all, or, not as a blanket deletion). It's probably ok to protect he page, to avoid such warring, and also to let th regular editors provide references.--Dwaipayan (talk) 06:37, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Have you deleted any of the material that you believe needs references or that needs to be deleted? Nope. You just keep adding it back. Typical edit warring strategy. It takes too much time to decide what unsourced material you want to keep and what you want to delete. So, you just keep everything. Protecting the article as it is now will preserve the article in its pathetic current state, with tons of unsourced material, just like Dwaipayan has sought with the assistance of Titodutta. AfricaTanz (talk) 06:49, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
No I did not delete any material. I started tagging them with citation needed tags. Because that's a good collaborative approach, and is supported by policy.--Dwaipayan (talk) 06:53, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Let's be totally clear about what you've done. You have repeatedly reinserted unsourced material that has been challenged and deleted. All of it. Every last character. You have done this despite your self-admitted view that some of the material needs to be removed. You also have refused to add even one source when reinserting the material. You have done no editing whatsoever except add a very limited number of citation-needed tags. When you didn't have time to continue your efforts, you recruited someone else as your replacement and was incivil about me to boot. This replacement did exactly what you wanted and then requested page protection to preserve what the two of you have done. AfricaTanz (talk) 06:59, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Note: the editor in question is trying to insert his religious opinions at various articles. In reference to this article, various sources indicate 538 or 537 for the arrival of the Jews in their homeland. However, a comparison of Josephus and Ezra puts the return in 538. In any case, there is certainly no reason at all for dogmatically insisting on 537 (which is also unsourced at Persian Jews). And there is absolutely no reason to insist that it 'must' be 537 in order to prop up numerological beliefs of Jehovah's Witnesses.--Jeffro77 (talk) 03:54, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The Biggest Loser Australia: Couples 2 (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Can we protect this article for at least 6 months? Those IPs from Israel are only jumping from non-protected The Biggest Loser article to another non-protected The Biggest Loser article. They keep on using different IPs, giving them warnings are of no use. Believe me. I have been monitoring them since last year. The Wikipedia Community has done nothing to stop them, except for Drmies‎ who was responsible for protecting these vandalized pages for 6 months or indefinitely. I tried once to bring this up once to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents, but no one bothered to answer.

Please hear my call. Short protection won't help. If we can protect other articles (except for the articles in the US version since almost all are being monitored by other users), I think we can stop them. If we can protect all the other articles now, we can't stop or at least halt their activity.

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

Temporary full protection. Repeated insertion of unsourced content by recently autoconfirmed users. Article has been semiprotected nine times in less than two years. Clearly, this isn't working, and neither would pending changes. However, the most recent spate of problem edits began this month and is related to a flurry of tabloid-type media reports which likely will be limited in duration, so a few weeks of full may well do the trick. Rivertorch (talk) 06:40, 16 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Pending-changes protected I've put a temporary pending changes on as well. I don't see why this won't work assuming that the reviewers don't approve a statement like that without a source. I'd much rather try this first than fully protect, even for a short while. The semi protection is still on, so the edits should only be coming from accounts. Obviously if accounts persist then we can take action against them as individuals. GedUK  14:05, 16 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite full protection: The problem with this template is noted here: Template_talk:Upgradestiki#Changing_something. Everyone thinks the section is on their talk, but really it's in the template; 6 mistaken edits in 12 hours. If I could go back in time, I wouldn't have included the section in the template, but would have the included a new section along with template when used on the talk pages. But I think rather than going back and disturbing everyone's talk pages again with the change, it would be kinder just to fully protect page so that at least non-admins don't continue the mistake.

Semi-protection: This is a WP:BLP problem. An anonymous editor roaming through a group of TMobile United Kingdom IP addresses is constantly re-inserting material without a source.

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. WP:ROUGH#Criteria_for_semi-protection says that, on average, only 5% of edits on Wikipedia are vandalism. But here, over the past few years, far more than 5% of IP edits to this page have been problematic. IPs have indulged in three harmful acts: vandalism, spamming, and COI editing. Since the problem began years ago, please semi-protect for at least a couple of years. P.S. The page also cites zero sources. I wonder if the subject is actually notable. Cheers, —Unforgettableid (talk) 02:29, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Unprotection: The article has been semi-protected since August of 2008, except when it was part of the Pending Changes trial. In its protected form, it does not seem to have had any recent major disputes or edit warring.

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism on a high-profiled artist releasing a VERY highly-profiled and anticipated studio album this fall, and is likely to fall victim of IP attacks and incorrect changes to article, especially due to the artist's public persona changes and high criticisms. livelikemusic my talk page! 14:37, 29 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Good edits are also coming from IPs and new users. Pages like this help us attract new editors. Please re-report with sample diffs if/when the situation worsens. -- Diannaa (talk) 19:52, 29 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary full protection - Two editors duking it out deleting each other's edits, not talking on the the talk page, and filing complaints about each other on AN/I. Full protection to get them talking to each other to work out some compromises -- there's nothing so egregiously bad about either's version of the article that it will be a disservice to our readers. Once the protection runs out, if they start up again, some attention-getting blocks might be a good idea. Beyond My Ken (talk) 21:35, 29 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary semi-protection: This article is currently getting a lot of attention from zealous editors who wish to insert spoiler warnings, but who may not yet be privy to WP:SPOILER or Wikipedia's WP:NOTCENSORED policy. It's not epidemic, but I'm requesting a temporary block of 2 weeks or so against IP editors and non-autoconfirmed users, assuming that's a reasonable request in this case.

Temporary semi-protection Repeated vandalism from IP users [41] [42] [43] [44] [45] [46] and one non-autoconfirmed account [47], due to controversies during the current high-profile England–Australia cricket series, which will continue until 17 September. I suggest semi-protection until February 2014, as England are about to travel to Australia for a return series.
